What a great Commander in Chief he would be...

He has the knowledge and the temperment to be a great president.

I seldom listen to cspan. No wonder this country is going the way it is. If these callers are representive of the population, this is one ignorant country.

If we need to have background checks and licenses to carry firearms; a Constitutionally GUARANTEED right; then we should have I.D. checks and take a Civics test to be able to exercise our PRIVELEGE to vote. The dumbing down of America is driving us to Socialism!

Exactly. Just like the parties want them to be...ignorant.

McCain Supporters Farthest Off the Mark

WASHINGTON (March 31, 2007) – A new poll using neutral language finds that primary and caucus voters have little knowledge of candidates’ immigration positions. The results also show that voters often do not share their candidate’s position.

Among the findings: * Only 34 percent of McCain voters, 42 percent of Clinton voters, and 52 percent of Obama voters correctly identified their candidate as favoring eventual citizenship for illegal immigrants who meet certain requirements.
* Of McCain voters, 35 percent mistakenly thought he favored enforcement that would cause illegals to return home, another 10 percent thought he wanted mass deportations, and 21 percent didn’t know his position.
* Voters often held different positions from the candidate they supported. Only 31 percent of McCain voters had the same immigration position as he does. For Clinton voters, 45 percent shared her position; 61 percent of Obama voters shared his position.
* This lack of knowledge, coupled with disagreements with their candidates’ positions, makes it very difficult to draw any conclusions about the fact that all three remaining candidates favor legalization for illegal immigrants.
