McCain isn’t going to be the President so, why are we still talking about him?

This is why I’m not voting for McCain. His immigration stance is all smoke and mirrors.

What a mess.

How can McCain extend his "coattails" nationally down to House and Senate and state legislative races, all up and down the GOP, when he presides over such fundamental opposition to his basic thoughts on illegals and amnesty?. It is totally illogical.

The rank and file Republicans better run far away from nominee McShamnesty on this key issue and position, and insist he have his own independent campaign offices outside of local GOP ones. Talk about a major rift. I hope the good side wins. I sure hope McCain does not neutralize this issue from the top down, as spineless GOP types are known to cave. The Dems certainly wont pick up the slack and in fact will be worse.

In short, methinks we are screwed.

Immigration – He’s not just pro-open borders, he’s Senor Amnesty – co-sponsor of McCain-Kennedy, which would have legalized 15 million illegal aliens, allowed them to bring in tens of millions of their mooching relatives (including the elderly and infirm), given them credit for past Social Security contributions, etc. The Heritage Foundation’s Robert Rector said McCain-Kennedy would have constituted the largest expansion of the welfare state in U.S. history (at an estimated cost of $2.6 trillion). A Republican who served with McNasty in the Senate said he was forever haranguing his GOP colleagues about being perceived as “xenophobes” for not supporting amnesty. At CPAC, he told conservatives he’s heard us. He’ll secure the borders first, then push amnesty – which, of course, will negate anything he does at the border. Build it (a suicidal welfare state that embraces alien intruders), and a fence won’t keep them out.

Screw You McCain!

Here’s a chance you’ll never get again! Say “Thank You” to your good friend Harry Reid!

Hey, Menendez! Illegal immigrants come in all sizes, shapes and colors. Why are you making it only an hispanic issue? Oh, so you only think hispanic illegals deserve special consideration?

You’ve shown your true allegiance, Menendez, and your bigotry is readily apparent. In your eyes, it’s special consideration for hispanics, and screw everyone else.

Kiss my a$$, Menendez.

"Immigration is the preeminent issue that has divided McCain from his party..."

You bet your sweet a$$! It was bad enough he screwed with the First Amendment with his McCain/Feingold POS, but condoning illegal immigration makes him and anyone else holding public office, including the President, liable for treason in my book.

Not that it will make a big difference out here in California, but I won't be voting for McCain.

"...Menendez said. "Latinos are not a group on the fringes of our society that can be manipulated to score political points...Latinos are no longer the sleeping giant in American politics – they are fully awake, active and making a difference. This is the type of cynical effort that serves to deepen the divisions in our nation that we should be working to bridge.”

Dear Roberto:
Latinos - si,
Illegals - not on your leftist life!

Put in my words & at the proper level:
Dear John:
Step up to the microphone, with full press coverage, and state clearly that you reject your shamnesty scheme, that illegal immigration is a threat to the security of the USA, that you will oppose any 'reform' that does not first protect us from both new illegal immigration and the damages done by past illegal immigration - and I will happily vote for your sorry ass.

Agree. What if a candidate had the guts to show legal hispanic citizens that the illegals are only costing them THEIR jobs and only aiding only the coyotes who are charging to get them here? Wages “under the table” only hurt everyone who pays taxes and owns a home.

If we don’t stand up for what America is supposed to be, we might as well bend over...the sooner the better.

Hey, McCain - Phoenix is having an international gang war!

7 Gang Members Busted for Armed Robbery
March 6th, 2008 @ 10:00am
by KTAR Newsroom and KPHO.com

Seven Phoenix men accused of robbing "stash houses" where drugs are stored or illegal immigrants are temporarily housed have been arrested in Chandler.

Police said the seven, all alleged gang members, were being booked Thursday for investigation of armed robbery, burglary and resisting arrest. (snip)

I won't, because McQueeg cannot be trusted and such assurances would be worthless, sort of like "Read my lips...no more taxes".
