McCain urges path to legal status

You mean the dumb schmucks who do things legally? Why? They're no better than us mere natives!

Here are the Senators who voted against the Cornyn amendment , which would have established a permanent bar for gang members, terrorists, and other criminals looking to snag a shamnesty visa. Republicans underlined:

Never forget McCain not only pushed the amnesty bill, he refused to allow exclusions for the worst of the lot.

You know, there’s nothing inherently evil about a “path to citizenship” for illegals.

If the path led them to deportation, pay a fine, wait in line, and re-enter on a path to citizenship . . . who here would object?

[sheana]

When are you (we?) going to learn that.....THEY DON’T CARE!!!!!

[sheana]

Bush backed off, after trying rather faintly a second time and understanding how unpopular it was making him with his base.

You call....”see you at the signing”......backing off?

The McCain team has probably run the numbers and they figure that they’ll get more votes from Hispanics and Independents on this issue than from Conservatives.

McCain's broad immigration pitch – coming at a global competitiveness roundtable of California technology executives – stood out from a far more cautious dishonest tone he had adopted earlier in the primary season.

"Does he realize that the illegal immigrant has somewhere between zero education and eight years of education?
Is that the best and brightest minds he’s referring to? "

Just the other day I was over by Home Depot having a great conversation about molecular dynamics - but the other guy had to catch a pickup truck.

The problem is NOT ‘lack of a guest worker program’.

You just don't understand "McCain Speak"!

When McCain talks about a "path to citizenship" he's NOT talking about how one could legally immigrate to the US from another country and become a citizen.

He knows damn well that that path exists and is well worn. People have been using it for years.

The "path to citizenship" he's talking about is the one where some scumbag politician waves a legal wand and presto! all the illegal aliens become citizens.

He is a lying, traitorous SOB and a politician of the worst kind.

[calcowgirl]

He has learned there are many conservatives who are so consumed by fear that they will dutifully vote for him because they delude themselves by saying he is better than his RAT friends. HE can spit and defecate on them and they will come back for more.

Battered Republican Syndrome.

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

Yep, McCain’s going to make darn sure he’s the LAST president with an “R” behind his name.

Here is the only acceptable first step in the "path to legal status":

Now, step to the right, and keep walking.

[calcowgirl]

More of the same garbage from these two clowns. This is what the Republican party has come to.

Whattsa matter? Doncha like the new "brand"?

[LadyNavyVet]

“The McCain team has probably run the numbers and they figure that they’ll get more votes from Hispanics and Independents on this issue than from Conservatives.”

According to Rasmussen, hispanics are going for Obama 58-35. McCain’s getting fewer hispanics than Bush got in 2004 by 9 points. McCain’s response to that, of course, will be to spit in conservatives’ faces some more and pander even harder to the hispanics.

I would. I don't think you should start the process picking from a pool of law-breakers.

There is nothing stopping them, right now, from returning to their homeland and going through the process legally.

If they don't, deport them and put them on the "NEVER eligible for a visa list."

[ckilmer]

Swartznegger is in a state where white flight is the rule. The very richest people the best producers leave the state—and these guys want to import people for minimum wage jobs and the dole? And then replace the whites in upper level jobs for people from overseas.

How can they be so dead?

[itsahoot]

I remember the easily duped on FR who supported Schwarzenegger because he could “win”. The drumbeat continues now for McCain.

Bingo, and Bump!

Arnold has been as big a disappointment as GW. Only difference he don't have as much power.

[itsahoot]

Why the hell doesn’t he STFU about this stuff?

I think the word Pandering comes to ind here.

[Antonio C]

Don’t get your bitcon hopes up. Nothing will happen except John McCain will be officially nominated.

[DoughtyOne]

Poor John, his best friend is ill. I suppose we should take it easy for a week or so.

I forget the name of Zorro’s sidekick, but John is probably a little too dumb to play the role.

His fronting for illegal immigrants and attention to more work visas makes me sick.

‘bitcon’, how clever. You seem proud of posting that. That alone speaks volumes and so do some of your past posts.
