Classic. Good enough for a tagline, in fact.

[E. Cartman]

“John McCain’s position on immigration is very clear and this a question that gets asked at townhall appearances everyday in media appearances and has answered the question at least a thousand times before the New Hampshire primary,” Schmidt said.

...and the ass wipe express dribbles on...

[DTogo]

I just wrote in $0 and "Say NO to Juan McCain!" on about 6 RNC donation solicitations that came in the mail this week.

Vaya con Shamnesty McCain! You DON'T have my vote!!

[E. Cartman]

He helped write the amnesty bill that people fought so hard to stop just last summer.

In a statement last week, MacCain said that homeowners must suffer the consequences of having taken out bad loans, demanding them to take responsibility for their actions and face the consequences for their poor decisions.

Yet he expects businesses who employed illegal aliens to suffer no repercussions and for illegal aliens to be amnestied with priveleges Americans don't enjoy. I would never vote for any asswipe who tries to rationalize unfair application of the law and jurisprudence.

In short, MacCain will NEVER get my vote.

I don't care if Jesus Christ himelf endorses MacCain. He will NEVER get my vote.

Owed to Undocumented Workers by John "socialize the cost, privatize the profits" McCain -- or someone obviously closely resembling the Senator and his retained motives. (You think he's doing this for free?!)

Straight talk from you and me
but talk is hate coming from our enemy.
For them our contempt and contumely.

Your infractions, fraud and perjury
merits for you our amnesty.

Americans doing same commit a felony
and go straight to the penitentiary.

[dforest]

I totally agree with you. 100%. Got your flame retardent suit on?

They are coming for you.;^)

[Jeffrey_D.]

“Probably but I think he’ll show his true colors before Nov.”

You see, I don’t agree. I think his true colors are already on full display. Then again, you don’t move to the right in the general, do ya? He’s likely to go even harder socialist.

"That kind of post gives FR a bad name"

The truth is the truth. I don't believe JimRob has a problem with calling McCain out for the traitor that he is.

In fact, you may want to do a search of JimRob's postings on the topic.

While you're at it, look up the penalty for treason and then let me know which part of my post offends you.

[Rastus]

All three candidates are about even on immigration; we're screwed no matter who wins. McCain will (I hope) appoint more conservative judges.

I don't think that's true at all. Hillary and Obama would love amnesty, but they will back down in the face of the kind of public outcry the last bill faced. We've already seen Hillary do it with her dropping support of drivers licenses for illegals in NY. They want a political future and won't risk it on a losing issue.

To John McCain, this is the big thing he cares about. For some reason, he wants the borders open wide and our cities flooded, and he doesn't care what we think about it. He won't rest until he gets his way on it. Even if defeated on the issue, he will keep going and keep going as we've already seen.

For that reason, sorry, the man has to be defeated. We're over as a country otherwise.

And, don't be too comfortable with his justices. He has sung the praises of Ginsberg. Will he pick anyone who will overturn McCain-Feingold?

[TLI]

McCain is the most vile person that has existed on Earth!

Well, I don't know about that. After all, Janet Reno is still kicking.

[shrinkermd]

Don’t forget you can use the word “illegal” but, in actual fact, deportation is a civil matter. It takes time, is open to appeals and rarely is the potentially deported person incarcerated and only then if there are other, real crimes.

Even Rush Limbaugh has given up on claiming he wants deportation.

Finally, President Bush has tried to enforce the social security option—17% of those working have social security numbers that are either mistaken or bogus. Here, the main opposition is from so called conservatives who don’t want to “show me your papers” solutions.

Beefing up the border might help, but so far the result has been finding new sources and ways into the country. President Reagan granted citizenship to 3-5 million illegals and promised to close the border. That was over 20 years ago.

All in all, this problem is not solved by slogans or sloppy thinking.

Correct. Which is why we need a double wall, Uzis and a minefield. (And I am not kidding.) Anything less and your grandchildren will soon be living in Tijuana Norte.

This is the worst election year of my entire life. Ok, 1976 was worse. A little.

I keep telling myself that it took a Ford to get a Carter and it took a Carter to get a Reagan. This year is bleak, but the future must be bringing something glorious.

Either that, or I'm delusional.

“but, in actual fact, deportation is a civil matter. It takes time, is open to appeals and rarely is the potentially deported person incarcerated and only then if there are other, real crimes.”

BUT, there are 300K incarcerated immigrants in prison who can & SHOULD BE DEPORTED and deported as soon as the borders are secured.

>>He DID finally realize the error in his ways about SECURING THE BORDER. LOL<<

You’ve got to be kidding. Examine the evidence:

1) Juan Hernandez

2) He has been advising other Republicans that being too “tough” on immigration is a losing political position.

3) When he could have voted FOR the Chambliss “Zero Tolerance” amendment, as a way to reassure conservatives that he would keep his promise to “secure the border first,” he did not vote. IMO, he is more afraid of losing liberal votes than he is interested in keeping that promise.

These are just 3 things off the top of my head that have happened very recently. McCain also has a long history that makes his promise difficult to swallow.

I was a delegate at the Republican county convention yesterday in Texas. I talked to McCain’s local communications director. She said I should keep an open mind and wait to see the people he would have in his cabinet (reminds me of GW Bush in a way). The trouble is that the POTUS is the boss, and cabinet heads can not really oppose him.

OK, I will keep an open mind. It’s not November yet. I just don’t see how McCain is going to be an acceptable candidate by continuing to go in the wrong direction.

[kellynla]

“Even Rush Limbaugh has given up on claiming he wants deportation.”

couldn’t care less what Limbaugh wants. LMAO
Limbaugh didn’t cut his teeth on the Clintons and failed to prevent B.J. from being reelected...so he don’t cut much mustard with me.

[kellynla]

I deal with the present,thank you.
And McCain has repeatedly said RECENTLY that he realizes that Americans WANT THE BORDERS SECURED.

[dforest]

With all due respect, all of these candidates will not secure the borders, at least not in a way we call the borders secure.

The issue on illegals, immigration, and all issues regarding, ended the day the GOP made McCain the candidate.

The issue is dead, they win, we don’t. Just the way it is and will be.

I do not see that changing. It has been decided for us.
