On immigration, he is bad, but he claims he 'gets it' on securing the border

He 'gets it' to secure the border FIRST. Then, it's amnesty. He even said he would sign SB 2611 - McCain-Kennedy.

You make some good points and they might've been good enough if it wasn't McCain, who has always had a disdain for conservatives and has sided with Dems too often, as the nominee.

You are right on that.
However, We can do to McCain what we did to Bush’s ‘comprehensive’ approach - take out the pitchforks and burn up the Congressional phone lines so bad they are afraid to pass such a bill on the floor. If we hold the line with enough conservatives in Congress, we can do it. If anything 2007 taught the elites a lesson that amnesty was the third rail. As we can see, the Democrats are going to go ‘incremental’ on this.

The way to fail here is to have an Obama landslide. Then he will pass and sign in one fell swoop, and we are truly toast as a country.
