Here's your red meat boys and girls. BTW - Let it all hang out. Guts and all. No need to feint to all those other window dressing issues like age, temperment, Gang of 14, reaching across the aisle, etc.

This is the one, this is the biggee.

[Bob J]

I do have one question for the few really thinking anti-McCainiacs out there. Would it be possible to make how McCain has staked himself out on this to WORK FOR US and possibly get MOST or ALL WE WANT on this issue?

Let’s see if there are any working brain cells out there...

[Man50D]

Our immigration laws don’t need to be reformed. They need to be enforced. The politicians who support illegal immigration need to be replaced.

[org.whodat]

As president, I will secure the border.

Where is the flying pig?????

[Cicero]

Well, I read it very carefully, and it doesn’t really make any commitments at all. Empty platitudes, and nothing more. It’s about as meaningfully specific as Obama’s promise to “change” America.

So we have to revert to McCain’s actual record. (As we have to revert to Obama’s record.)

Besides, now there’s a new problem. How is McCain going to stuff the McCain-Kennedy bill down our throats with Kennedy in the hospital?

[Post-Neolithic]

Am I the only one who remembers the Republican debate in which McCain said he does not, in any form or fashion, support English being the official language of America? Or his in your face support of Amnesty for illegals?

[alicewonders]

I have always believed that our border must be secure and that the federal government has utterly failed in its responsibility to ensure that it is secure.

Does this freakin' idiot fail to realize that he IS the federal government???

[JustaDumbBlonde]

"As president, I will secure the border."

Funny, because as a Senator McCain has done precious little to accomplish that goal. And he has certainly been in a position for a couple of decades, do bring his 'good friends' from the other aisle over to assist him, but has failed to do so. Instead, he pairs with Ted Kennedy to grant a pathway for citizenship to 30 million illegals and another 30 million of their closest friends and relatives.

BJ, you’re back so soon. Boy this must have have taken all of 10 minutes to write up. It says NOTHING, is meaningless and besides this is the best line in the whole load of crapola.

“I have always believed that our border must be secure”

Now that is a funny one. Soon he will tell us that he believes in Global Warming and the tooth fairy.

Post the one about his wife’s shoplifting charge, please.

[Grunthor]

“Immigration is one of those challenging issues that touch on many aspects of American life.”

He starts out bad. It’s not “immigration” that is the problem.

[kabar]

McCain fails to answer how he will address the 15 to 30 million illegals already here. That is the real issue.

[Grunthor]

He used the word “immigration” or “immigrant” 7 times.

The word “illegal” in conjunction with “immigrant” exactly ZERO times.

Why?

[Marcella]

He skirts the issue of the illegals already here; he doesn’t want to talk about that ‘cause he’s going to make sure they all stay here draining our resources.

[stockpirate]

Besides in a moment of McCain speaking the truth he called himself a LIBERAL republican, well he should have run as Kerry’s running mate and stayed a democrat.

Maybe he can get Sen. Clinton as his VP?

[johnthebaptistmoore]

You notice how, when reading this, McCain actually shifts away from actually talking about any details involving both border security (How will you exactly secure our borders, John McCain?) and immigration reform (Lets “get along” with Mexico and all other Latin American countries who really are anti-Chavez as well as say just positive things about all immigrants here in the U.S.-both legal and illegal-without actually talking in detail about all of the problems that illegal immigrants truly create throughout the U.S. as well as not talking about all of the decent ways of successfully resolving all of the problems throughout the U.S. as they are related to illegal immigration.)

[dr huer]

Some dictionary work needed. The word “reform” is widely used to conceal noxious changes. Immigration “deform” is more likely to be the result of new rewards for illegal behavior.

[calcowgirl]

Our education system should ensure skills for our younger workers, and our retraining and assistance programs for displaced workers must be modernized so they can pursue those opportunities

Ain't that sweet?

Sen. McCain has no problem passing policy that puts U.S. citizens out of work as long as he offers another social re-education program to train "displaced" workers. I'm sure U.S. citizens who were previously meat-cutters and construction workers are happy to become call-center operators competing with wage rates of India.

"As president, I will secure the border. I will restore the trust Americans should have in the basic competency of their government. A secure border is an essential element of our national security. Tight border security includes not just the entry and exit of people, but also the effective screening of cargo at our ports and other points of entry." --John McCain

The McCain List.
Common sense conservatism

[kbennkc]

Thanks for the straight talk . The sooner people realize the goal of the Republican Party (Chamber of Commerce) is open borders to facilitate the transformation of all North America to pure laissez faire capitalism the better .

Thanks for your usual dose of condescension. Did McCain train you on that?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]
