Immigration: Richardson Sees McCain Going Squishy If Re-Elected
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Seriously: is Bill Richardson trying to wreck John McCain?

Ask yourself: what would be the one thing most likely to undermine McCain with Arizona Republican Senate primary voters? Surely it would be the possibility that if re-elected, born-again immigration hawk McCain would revert to the squishiness that led him to collaborate with Ted Kennedy on a "path to citizenship" for illegals. Yet on this evening's Ed Show, that's exactly what the New Mexico governor—twice—imagined McCain might do.

Does a bear do his business in the woods?

Should he win the primary, McCain will immediately shift gears and start advertising to his amigos in Spanish.

Throw the bum out!!

Go, JD, GO!!

Rebellion is Brewering!!

McCain IS NOT reliable. He wants everyone to like him, and if everyone likes you no one can trust you.

Never share a foxhole with someone likely to start negotiating with the enemy, just because he doesn't want to hurt their feelings.

Bill must think that JD is the weaker candidate in the November election.

If AZ prefer a CommieCrate over JD, then they deserve what they get, but no one deserves a RINO! IMHO

It's also interesting that McCain's "my friend" Juan Hernandez is nowhere to be seen during this primary season.

“Bill must think that JD is the weaker candidate in the November election.”

I would agree, but I researched the situation, and it looks like the Dems are barely fielding a candidate. So whoever wins the GOP primary will be the overwhelming favorite to win the seat. Which leads me to wonder whether Richardson was simply offering his honest opinion that McCain is likely to flip-flop back to his pro-illegal position, or if for some reason Richardson has a beef with McCain and was trying to undermine him.

Squishy? He’ll reverse course so fast his nose will stick out his a$$hole from the inside out!

McCain is beneath contempt.

I WANT HIM GONE!!!

I wish we could put off our primary for another year. If Juan wins the primary, he’ll be back to pushing amnesty, tax and crap and globull warming. Unfortunately, his ads are kicking J.D.’s ass right now. Juan never treated Barry, his messiah like this during the presidential campaign. Juan might have a soft spot for Barry and the ‘RATS but he sure does hate Republicans and conservatives. We’re embarrassing him right now by causing him to swerve to the right for the election.

I think I have my husband now convinced that McCain is worthless! Thank you Ed Schultz! He made is clear that McCain is nothing but a gift to the demonrats (sic).

Sounds like Bill Richardson thinks J.D. would be easier to beat in the General Election, so he’s trying to help that along.

Well then he’s wrong, whoever wins the primary in the GOP will win the general.
