On his Northeastern Pennsylvania trip, McCain pointedly denied coattails to a controversial immigration critic and congressional challenger who has become one of the best Republican prospects for a House pickup in a largely Democratic year.

Lou Barletta, the mayor of nearby Hazleton, became a favorite of the Lou Dobbs set for passing bills to declare English as the town's official language and forbid businesses from hiring or renting to illegal immigrants. Polls have shown him competitive with the district's longtime incumbent Paul Kanjorski, a success local operatives credit to the enduring power of anti-immigration politics in this largely working-class, white-ethnic district.

This is something we have been aware of for some time, McCain’s views on immigration. It’s nothing new really. The Boston Globe is just trying to stir things up.

His speech today at some Irish get together was much the same:
Noted border control then went on to how we need to create a path to citizenship (for illegals) "after meeting some requirements".

He's sure that Palin tied up the conservative vote for him.
Now he thinks it is safe to revert to his anti US pandering.

Time to reconsider a write in;
if he didn't learn from the last time, four more years won't help.

If America isn’t worth protecting with a fence, why are Bush’s, McCain’s and Kennedies estates?

“McCain is showing greater ease asserting his distance from the anti-immigration right.”

I don’t think people are anti-immigration. People are against ILLEGAL immigration. Sheesh.

McShamnesty is out of touch with the American people. On amnesty he is McStupid!

McCain makes me want to throw up. I am voting for Palin.

Hope McCain doesn’t spoil what people like about her.

McAmnesty is a fraud, but not a big a fraud as the Marxist Messiah.

I know “karma” may not be with me, but I pray he (McCain) wins and somehow dies peacefully in his sleep in 2009.

There are literally millions of illegals and California and other states are becoming war zones.

From the L. A. Times

1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County ( L. A. County has 10.2 million people)are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card.

2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.

4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal , whose births were paid for by taxpayers.

5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally

6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.

7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border
8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.

9. 21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking.

10. In L. A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish. (There are 10.2 million people in L. A. County)

(All 10 of the above are from the Los Angeles Times)

Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare.

Over 70% of the United States’ annual population growth (and over 90% of California, Florida and New York) results from immigration.

29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

We are a bunch of fools for letting this continue

If this doesn’t open your eyes nothing will!!!

And you wonder why Nancy Pelosi, John McCain, Barack Obama and Harry Reid want them to become voters via Amnesty!

I’m a Barletta Republican, not a McCain RINO. This is 4, Norm.

#1, Appoint Andrew Cuomo, architect of the mortgage crisis, to replace Chris Cox.

#2, Wipe hands of coordinating Republican party efforts from the White House.

#3, Fast-track criminal invading hordes to citizenship (I gotta live next door to that $hit, Norm, do you ?)

#4, Snubbing our BEST Conservative shining star candidates for the next Congress all because they oppose shamnesty.

Why am I supposed to vote for McCain, again, Norm ? I think I’ll write in Palin for President/Barletta for VP.
