McCain's Amnesty: Once Worth the Fighting For; Now Worth the Lying For

JD HAYWORTH PRESS RELEASE

"In his book Worth The Fighting For, John said that he was faced with a tough choice during his 2000 bid for the Presidency," said U.S. Senate Candidate J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ). "John, in his own words, decided lying was the best way out of a difficult situation. He made the same decision when faced with his continuing support for amnesty last night."

In McCain's book, he wrote: "I didn't want to do this. But I could tell from the desperate looks of my staff that we had an enormous problem. And that it could come down to lying or losing. I chose lying."

On December 15, 2000, McCain entered a statement into the Congressional record that said: "In particular, this bill makes meaningful but insufficient progress on amnesty for those wrongly denied it, and does not address legitimate concerns about Central American refugee parity."

On May 29, 2003, the Tucson Citizen quoted McCain saying: "Amnesty has to be an important part because there are people who have lived in this country for 20, 30 or 40 years, who have raised children here and pay taxes here and are not citizens."

He sponsored not once, but twice the McCain-Kennedy amnesty legislation that would cost American taxpayers $2.6 trillion in retirement benefits alone for illegal aliens who are granted amnesty.

And as late as April 10 of this year, his office was sending out letters that stated: "Considering our national interest in identifying these individuals (illegal aliens) and our inability to round up and deport all of them, we must provide these individuals with incentives to come forward, complete security background checks, pay any owed taxes and stiff penalties for breaking the law, learn to speak English, and regularize their status."

Hayworth said "regularize" is just McCain's latest code word for amnesty.

"First it was amnesty, and then it was comprehensive immigration reform, now a new one - regularize," he said. "But it is all the same amnesty pure and simple.

"John lied last night. Arizona deserves a Senator the people can trust," Hayworth said.

If I've omitted your name, it wan't on purpose, unless you were for McCain...lol.

I hope you'll all be here tonight for the second smack down. I know I'm posting the thread a little early, but I have to be away for a while, so please post other LIVE links that you find. I took all my information from JD for SENATE.

Please link to his site to read more about last night's debate and while you're there, slip him another donation!

LOL.. I posted a LIVE THREAD link, but it got pulled and replaced by this one.. no problem.. as long as we have one...

TOWARD VICTORY !

[rintense]

That's gonna leave a mark.

I'll bet anything McCain's handlers told him to keep his composure. And if JD's handlers are smart, they told him to do everything the same as last night- and get John to go Mel again!!!!

Thanks for the ping! JD is going to clean the floor with McCain tonight; last night was the warm up-tonight is the KO.

I was just re-watching some of the previous debate.

When I watched it during the broadcast, I thought Deakin was the Democrat. (Am not in AZ)

So, we have about a hour before the debate tonight begins.

[rintense]

I’m shocked McCain will actually show! Thought for sure he’d find some lame excuse to back out after last night’s beating at the hands of JD.

Thank you onyx

Kate, over here

Last debate, at the opening, Deakin called McCain on the "I've never been for amnesty" issue.

Deakin said McCain voted for amnesty in 1986 (IIRC). McCain didn't contradict that when he got a chance to comment.

“Amnesty has to be an important part because there are people who have lived in this country for 20, 30 or 40 years, who have raised children here and pay taxes here and are not citizens. That has to be a component of it.”
– Sen. John McCain, Tucson Citizen, 5/29/03)
