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

True. The main problem I see with McCain as the nominee, is that the base will not be motivated to go out and vote - for their conservative respresentatives in Congress. Not having a presidential candidate that inspires the base will lose a lot of votes for the congressmen. This is probably the worst thing about having McCain as the nominee. We'll have a harder time limiting the damage - whether it's from a Dem or McCain.
