McCain and Palin: Reunited and Feeling Good ("I support his position on immigration")

VAN SUSTEREN: Governor Palin, if you were vice president today, what would you be telling a President McCain about what to do about immigration, if anything?

PALIN: I support his position on immigration. It all comes down to securing the border. And he who has actually proposed some solutions, the Obama administration does not want to listen to Senator McCain or any other Republican, and that, of course, leads to a greater problem that we have in Washington, D.C. And it's that lack of the new administration's ability and enthusiasm for listening to those on the other side of the aisle who have some good solutions that they want considered.

John McCain's current (reelection) year position on illegal immigration:

“John McCain does not support amnesty and believes that we should not reward lawbreakers. “ Surely you realize that is the biggest lie ever told. And McCain has the NERVE to put it on his website. So much for Palin’s claiming how ‘honest’ Mccain is.

I said it was his REELECTION YEAR POSITION. What do you think that means?

Unbelievable.

[marron]

John McCain is John McCain. There are not two McCains; just one spineless, gutless will-do-or-say-anything-for-a-vote McCain.

Amen.

I like Palin, and I've cut her some slack for what she's doing in Arizona. But like a lot of people, this has raised an alarm flag for me.

And I do notice that while she has been pretty clear about wanting to secure the border, she has also equivocated a bit about amnesty. Before she's ready for prime time she is going to have to get past that, and be able to clearly articulate her position and be ready to take the pounding that comes with it.

She wants a humane answer. I agree. There is nothing inhumane about expecting people to go home to their home country. The most humane answer I can come up with is also the simplest. Secure the border. Enforce the law. Let the chips fall.

It means she’s not going to shrink away from making unpopular decisions.

Supporting amnesty would certainly be one of those "unpopular decisions" you seem to respect.

[Lakeshark]

It’s a question you could answer. And if not, who do you support now. I’d rather you answer it straight up, and that’s a simple request.

[pissant]

If you run for the presidency doesn’t that assume that you endorse yourself as the best candidate? After he dropped he did endorse Huckabee, which infuriated me, because I don’t trust him. As for WHY he endorsed Huckabee its quite simple:

Huckabee adopted Hunter’s position on China. No one else came close.

Huckabee was a fellow supporter of the FairTax. No one else was.

And Huckabee adopted Hunter’s positions on the border fence and NO AMNESTY of any kind.

So why would he endorse McCain or Romney instead again??

There is absolutely nothing conservative about supporting a full-blown liberal in a GOP primary when there is a credible conservative challenger with his hat in the ring.

Even JD Hayworth understands her support.

Calling rintense for "thee post."

I'm not happy about it, but you're not going to define her for it. She is bigger than her former runningmate...LOL.

[mkjessup]

Are all Ron Paul's supporters as dishonest and divisive as you?
I posted Sarah Palin's direct words, with a verifiable and credible source.
Are you suggesting that they are "dishonest and divisive"?

A question Lakeshark: what does Rab's views regarding Ron Paul (pro or con) have to do with the statements from Sarah Palin, direct quotes?

If I post a quote from George Herbert Walker Bush about the 'New World Order', nobody says "Mark, you dirtbag, you're just a Reaganite, that's why you don't like GHWB!"

The fact is, it DOES NOT MATTER if a poster supports, or leans to one candidate or another, if they make a post that is accurate, if the quotes they include are true, if the sources are verifiable, it should make no difference who they personally support.

[pissant]

Palin’s toast now. Find another lover, buddy

[onyx]

I just pinged you!

LOL. Thanks, you were here all along.

Class act, that JD Hayworth!!!

[rintense]

HAR!

[Eaker]

11-13 million illegal aliens who are in our country right now, but if they’re not going to follow the rules, they need to get out.”

Closer to 30 or 40 million and the rules are they need to get the hell out.

[concernedforusa]

I’ve lost my respect for Sara Palin. I will not support her any more.

[SoConPubbie]

So why would he endorse McCain or Romney instead again??

And why would anyone trust Huckabee if he changed his positions on Illegal Immigration at the last moment to get the Hunter's endorsement?

Especially with his record of lying about his past?

[concernedforusa]

I was a fan of Sarah Palin. No more!

[SoConPubbie]

Palin’s toast now. Find another lover, buddy

%1 Hunter's been toast all along, Why don't you find another lover buddy!

[ReneeLynn]

It’s not really a contrast, what was posted now. Sarah says ‘no’ and ‘no’ she doesn’t support amnesty. That’s all I can show you. But I’m sure she’ll address this fracas soon. She always does.

[Lakeshark]

It actually does matter, as Paul's supporters are perhaps the most rabid and divisive and dishonest in the fringe of the conservative movement.

He isn't giving her whole history of quotes, and as I pointed out even this time, he underlined areas for his divisive benefit, forgetting the part where she says to secure the border.

Fwiw, I admire Reagan the most of any political figure on the right, and Ron Paul cut off one of the legs of what Reagan called the three legged stool and shortened the other two, and I dislike that intensely.

[onyx]

Sure you were.....LOL.

“...LARS: The amnesty proposal that was defeated in Congress — in your view, was that amnesty for illegals and would you back amnesty for a path to citizenship, as the current president calls it?

SARAH PALIN: No, I’m not for amnesty. Let’s ratchet this down quite simply to remember what we’re referring to. Illegal aliens are called “illegal” for a reason. We need to secure our borders and I am not for amnesty. And there are humane ways to deal with the 11-13 million illegal aliens who are in our country right now, but if they’re not going to follow the rules, they need to get out.”

[pissant]

I don’t trust Huckabee. But when you are left with two exceptional liars, and one middling one, I guess you go with the middling one, if you feel the need to endorse.

Funny thing though. After McCain had wrapped up the nomination I recall McCain and Romney both pushing TARP down America’s throat while Huckabee took the Hunter position of “hell f’n no”

[mkjessup]

Thanks for the quick response L-Shark, I have to head out for a little while but will be back later to answer in more detail, hope you’re having a good Monday.
