Speaking to an Irish-American audience this morning, John McCain used his strongest language of the general election campaign to grab again the mantle of comprehensive immigration reform.

In Scranton, Pa., he vowed to push through a plan that offers a path to citizenship to illegal immigrants who pay fines and fulfill other requirements. "This nation is stronger for the infusion of fresh blood and vitality," McCain said.

I don’t like McCain’s immigration policy at all, but I think we should still vote for him, because he is MUCH better than the Obamanation. We can’t let Obama get elected.

Fear is a great motivator.
I don't want Hussein Obama in there with a Democrat Congress

No, osamabama is a larger threat... no question... and barr ain’t gonna save you.

There must be some way to make Sen. McCain understand people who live in high cost of living states with liberal Democrats in charge cannot take more financial burdens placed on them. Especially in this economy, this is not what I want to hear from the ticket I’m trying to support!

McCain was the one who led the Gang of 14 a couple of years ago...preventing conservative judges from getting on, or advancing, on the federal bench

Knee-jerk ranting. That deal got Roberts and Alito on the bench.

[TomGuy]

Senator McCain “He said that voters would not support such a plan until the borders were made secure.”

'Secure the border' is empty rhetoric. It simply means that the border state governors have to signify that their borders are secure. By what standard? The governor's say so.

Which border governor would say their border is NOT secure? None of them. The current governors of TX, NM, AZ, and CA want amnesty as much as McCain does.

It is another version of the same pea and shell game.

Now I feel cheated.

You have been.

We've been hoodwinked, swindled, and taken for absolute fools for years now.

Latest polls actually show an awakening taking place among Calif’s conservatives since the naming of Palin that has resulted in a perceptible change in the projected (polled) outcome. Yes, we’re still behind by a considerable margin, but with the proper set of circumstances, I think it’s too early to write off.

I also find it offensive how he dumped his sick wife and now would make the other woman First Lady, a woman with plenty of baggage, at a time when our young people need moral role models.

That lie has been beaten down too many times to count.

[dragnet2]

Get more disgusted....McCain was the one who led the Gang of 14 a couple of years ago...preventing conservative judges from getting on, or advancing, on the federal bench.

To be honest, some just don't care, and they clearly have other agendas.

[rabscuttle385]

The planes on 9/11 did not take of from Iraq but from American soil.

BINGO!

The terrorist hijackers exploited our own security systems and laws to obtain government identification cards, board the airplanes, procure materials for their insidious plots, and transfer money into the United States. Aside from the part about boarding airplanes, they breached the same systems that illegal aliens are working.

Sheesh, how hard can this be!

[LibLieSlayer]

I used to believe that lie... until I heard the truth... and his ex-wife and her husband have endorsed McCain. Brit Hume stated this a while back.

My “agenda” is to block the election to President of a black Liberation Theologist, marxist, muzzie, racist commie. What is your agenda?

[Right_in_Virginia]

I cannot vote for this man, who values illegal aliens over Americans.

Come on...we're heading into the really crazy part of the campaigns now.

I hope we can all exhale....and remember that keeping all three branches of government out of the hands of Socialists is our one, true fight now.

Please....let's keep our eye on the real goal post.

[brytlea]

Sadly, I agree.

Palin is for show.

[brytlea]

McCain MIGHT nominate conservatives to the court. Obama will ASSUREDLY NOT.

Mine too.  Whatever it takes.

[norton]

Can anyone come up with a line of bumper stickers, posters, etc. (and tee shirts, because I like the ads) that just read:

'PALIN IN 08'...?

[rabscuttle385]

and remember that keeping all three branches of government out of the hands of Socialists is our one, true fight now.

Be careful. There are Socialists on both sides of the aisle.
