McCain urges path to legal status
Sac Bee ^ | 5/23/08 | Peter Hecht

Arizona Sen. John McCain faced withering criticism from conservatives in Republican presidential primaries for backing a guest worker program and a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. But Thursday, McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee, joined Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in calling for an immigration plan including visas to bring employees to California's Silicon Valley and the state's agricultural fields. McCain's broad immigration pitch – coming at a global competitiveness roundtable of California technology executives – stood out from a far more cautious tone he had adopted earlier in the primary season.

Well, I said on Jim’s recent thread that I can’t possibly vote for Obama or hillary (if she manages to snatch it back). But I’m not committed to McCain, either.

I really just don’t think I can vote for him. We’ll see in November. But he is a total fool and traitor. Maybe not as bad as Obama, but he would be in a much stronger position as a Republican to ram this kind of thing through. And by the time he finished doing his dirty work, he would destroy the Republican party, undoing 50 years of hard work bringing it over to the conservative side, and leaving us with no alternative to vote for.

This is just sickening. But it’s hardly surprising. And if McCain will kick his base like this now, when he needs votes and money, just wait until after he is elected!

I would have never guessed it. The RINO appears.

In honor of McCain’s latest comment, I have changed my tag line.

These are the faces of the "New" Republican Party, otherwise known as the "Titanic II". I'll have nothing to do with it anymore.

It's coming, whether McCain or Obama wins.

US citizenship for all, whosoever makes it across our borders. And then food stamps, welfare, free hospitalization. Subsidize government housing. And later social security and Medicare. Have all the babies you want, the government will give you more money. Drive a car without insurance, because those who can afford it, they just buy uninsured motorists coverage.

And best of all, you do not even need to really work to receive all these benefits.

Provided by those who are already here and working. We love to give you our money.

McCain urges path to legal status

If they get that status before the Nov. elections McCain's chances of beating B-HO would plummet to somewhere between slim and none.

".... calling for an immigration plan including visas to bring employees to California's Silicon Valley..."

Yep! Nothing like having educated Americans displaced by low salary workers from 3rd world countries. Assh#le!

I remember the easily duped on FR who supported Schwarzenegger because he could “win”. The drumbeat continues now for McCain. Some folks never learn.

I’ll put this so that someone with the low IQ of a senator (read McKennedy, the real Kennedy, Boxer, etc) can understand. The path to legal residence for illegals starts in MEXICO, not in the US. Pilosi, you ignorant slut, MEXICO is not in the US. It is south of us.

Responding to a question about H1-B visas for Silicon Valley workers, McCain said: “We have to attract the best and brightest minds.

Why? We don't do that in politics.

Let’s hope that the Path involves going through a prison.

I have been trying to hold to the position that I could still vote for McCain. This was probably the nail in the coffin that I cannot vote for him.
