Excerpt:
In 2004, the voters of Arizona, by 56 percent to 44 percent, enacted Proposition 200, requiring proof of citizenship before an individual may vote or receive state benefits. Forty-six percent of Hispanics voted for Prop. 200, giving the lie to those who say Hispanics support the illegal invasion of their country.
Over 190,000 Arizonans petitioned to put Prop. 200 on the ballot. As it simply required proof of citizenship before receiving the benefits and privileges of citizenship, who could oppose it? Answer: the entire GOP congressional delegation, led by Sen. John McCain.

McCain=Amnesty=Destruction of this country as we know it. Everything else is like straightening the deck chairs on the Titanic.
What some people fail to realize is that by granting legal status to the 12 to 20 million illegals already here, you are also opening the doors to at least 66 million more LEGAL immigrants [based on just 12 million illegals] who will enter thru chain migration, i.e., family reunification, above and beyond the current 1.2 million legal immigrants we admit each year. The country is finished if that happens. Amnesty is forever. You can't unring a bell.
With the strident view you hold about a candidate needing to behave exactly as you expected, how do you imagine the rest of the 300 million constituents will feel when their opinions differ even slightly from yours? What should they do? Are we not a Republic committed to having some of our expectations disappointed by a representative government or do you actually think you should prevail in all circumstances? I don’t remember the Army that way. How did you put up with it then?
Yes, but Buchanan isn't running for the Presidency. McCain is. You should always welcome the truth, even if it's from someone you don't personally like.
No, most of that fault lies with Bush 41. Perot wouldn't have had a snowball's chance in hell if Bush 41 hadn't been such a milquetoast and been trying to "get along" with the Dem's, just like his baby boy. When the GOP runs candidates who have balls in their scrotums, they actually win...which is different than the democrats simply losing.
And now some people here trust him?
Pretty amazing ain't it?
Haven't forgotten it. And if RINO McQueeg gets the nomination, the MSM will also have a field day with that new head growing on the side of his face.
Something is WRONG with McCain. I think the POW thing messed up his mind permanently-seriously. Good grief, we have the Rain Man, a Socialist lesbian and a Socialist Muslim(in hiding) to choose from?
Doomed! There is NO good outcome to this election that I can see-unless millions write in ‘none of the above’ on election day. I would be more comfortable with blindfolded GWB opening a phonebook from a randomly chosen city and pointing to a name. There’s your President!
Thanks for the info, “my friend”. I didn’t know that Hernandez joined Sen. McCain’s campaign.
Make no mistake about it, this was a Dem bill and it was not veto proof yet Bush signed it with "reservations" about its constitutionality.
The same holds true with the CIR that passed the Senate in 2006 [S. 2611] that passed 39-4 by the Dems with the Reps being AGAINST the bill 32-23. It was a Dem bill with McCain working with the Dems against his own party.
What party nominates a "maverick" to be its nominee? Hopefully, it won't be the GOP.
Maybe I'll just go buy an island somewhere and forget about all this crap. Most of the time I think it is too late to fix the country anyway. Every now and then I have a tiny bit of hope, but then we have primaries like this, and I am back to thinking that we will be less free every year, until we are nothing like the Founding Fathers planned.
It was HIS fault and ONLY his fault, not the people who were so disgusted with him that they couldn't in good conscience vote for him.
needing to behave exactly as you expected
I don't need a candidate who behaves EXACTLY as I expect. I have to have a candidate who at least meets some MINIMUM EXPECTATIONS. That is not McCain and I will never vote for him.
Nope, not me. Won't do it ... ain't goin' there.
Juan Hernandez is a arrogant POS, who loves the idea of screwing over US citizens.
Geesh, this makes me despise McCain even more.
Pat Buchanan was on the Laura Ingraham show this week, he said he is supporting Romney because of the immigration issue.

McCain is weakest (in my eyes) on immigration and “climate change” (ie drinking the left’s kool-aid a la Nixon).
As a disciple of Bastiat and the later Austrian School, Ron Paul is probably the strongest Free Trader in the race.
I didn’t know about this until I read your post. Thanks for the info.
