Immigration policy is the defining issue of our time with enormous implications for the future of this nation and the preservation of our patrimony. Changes to our existing immigration policies should be an integral part of the solutions to our problems. Yet, rarely will you read or hear immigration policy linked to these challenges by the political and media elites.
An amnesty will destroy this country with the stroke of a pen. If passed, everything else is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
So, JD is a Rino too? Okay, I’ll bite. What is the conspiracy between Hayworth and Heflin? And don’t tell me its about them both supporting the farm bill, or Abramoff either.
Hayworth or McCain...?
I’ll take Hayworth. Go J.D.!
So what? People talk about the Keating Five like McCain was a scumbag backroom dealer, and it’s pretty much a nothingburger. Moreover, my point that it was a Dem-run railroading remains absolutely, positively ironclad. The fact that the guy shows some all-too-rare humility about it is a plus, not an indictment.
So, you can keep doing the work of the Dems, or you can focus on McCain’s real faults. And one wonders if you’ll be posting about Hayworth and Abramov in a few years as if it’s the worst thing a congresscritter ever did...
See post 37. The Keting Five is a nothingburger, and people who continue to bring it up are misinformed or dishonorable. It’s not like McCain hasn’t got plenty of other faults.
Yes, but when you have all bad primary candidates, as in the 2008 presidential primaries, you end up with a bad candidate for the general election.
I never said JD was a RINO. I was saying that no conservative should be pushing the Keating Five nothingburger railroad job.
KMA! Your support for McCain at this point is what is truly dishonorable. For the truly misinformed, like you, see post #56.
True, I’m just saying that we need to have our eyes open.
But it's gratifying to see how the well-financed McCainiacs think FR is important.
Like I said...people who continue to push the Keating Five are either misinformed or dishonorable. And you've proved you aren't misinformed, sir.
We should also be very careful of the 'anybody but _______' syndrome as well. Desperation to get rid of someone else often means ignoring policy flaws for immediate gain.
That said, JD isn't perfect. But he's far, far better than McCain. McCain has more than wore out is welcome, and its time for him to go.
Shadegg has far more respect by the people than JD.
Especially not having the baggage.
McCain follows a scorched earth policy when it comes to attacking his "fellow" Reps, but it is kid gloves and respect when dealing with the Dems. McCain is probably still pissed that he could not choose Lieberman as his running mate. He ran the worst Presidential campaign in history. He is Johnny One-Note who has been running on his POW status ever since he entered office. McCain has a sense of entitlement. Obama squashed him like a bug.
McCain must be defeated at all costs.
GO HAYWORTH !’
This is the bottom line.
The best thing Mr. McCain did was to put Governor Sarah Palin on as his Vice Presidential Nominee. This was out of abject fear that he would lose every State in the election.
TWB
When a conservative is to the left of Bob Bennett, and is agressively pushing forward from that position...well, let's just say it doesn't look Reaganesque.
But it's gratifying to see how the well-financed McCainiacs think FR is important.
Another way you can tell if you're lost in the woods is if you read something written by a nine and a half year freeper who has posted too many criticisms of Juan McCain to count and decide that he must be on the McCain campaign's payroll, because if he wasn't, he'd agree with you.
Time to get a grip.
You need to pay atention. My first post was quite clear. JD Hayworth was cleared of any wrong doing in the Abhramoff scandal. Period. McCain was cleared of any impropriety with Keating, but publicaly criticized for poor judgment. Connecting Keating with Abramoff is a red herring at this point. Got it now? No should be defending any politico who goes off track.
So don’t confuse the issue. Your defense and support of McCain is what is dishonorable.
JD probably said something similar about the Abramoff connections. What you're basically saying is that if two guys do something unwise but legal and are smeared by Dems, we should treat one as a criminal and the other as a hero of conservatism.
Wrong answer.
And BTW, just so we're clear, when i said I wondered if you'd be talking about JD and Abramoff in six years, that was a comment about you, not JD. I have no reason to believe he did anything wrong, but I have reason to believe (because you proved it) that you have a double standard.
McCain must be defeated at all costs.
Translation: Let's play checkers. Chess is for morans.
Of course he will transform, until after the election, just to fool the rubes.
