McCain: Without Immigration Reform, GOP ‘Cannot Win a National Election'
ABC News ^ | July 30, 2013 | by Jim Avila

WASHINGTON — Despite the Republican strategy of passing piecemeal immigration reform, Sen. John McCain predicted today that comprehensive legislation can pass the GOP-controlled House.

“I think this fall is very important,” McCain said at a forum hosted by AFL-CIO and the Economic Policy Institute.

“Let’s say we enact it, comprehensive immigration reform — I don’t think it gains a single Hispanic voter, but what it does, it puts us on a playing field where we can compete for the Hispanic voter,” McCain told PBS’ Gwen Ifill. “If we don’t do that, frankly, I don’t see — I see further polarization of the Hispanic voter and the demographics are clear that the Republican Party cannot win a national election. That’s just a fact.”

Rep. Xavier Becerra, D-Calif., agreed with McCain.

McCain is sooooooooooo not America.

Traitor McCain: "We must back al Qaeda in all their forms, no matter whom they murder."

I’d rather lose in a fair fight.

McCain will lose any way he can get it.

Did Chuck Schumer tell you that John?? You’re Mr. Amnesty and yet, you didn’t win a national election. Why didn’t you get 80% of the hispanics, John??

Dementia is a terrible thing, especially in a politician that doesn't know when to hang it up.

Why would we take advice from a sworn enemy of the United States?

I really hate the GOP, and just about everyone in it.

Especially this traitorous bastard.

Yeah, Erick Erickson at Red State called it as well last week...the GOP-E is casting off the Conservative base and looking to build a new one with illegal aliens.

Screw 'em. I'm third party all the way!!!

I would not put it past that RINO to officially switch to the Rat Party if the GOP took a single Senator control in 2014, throwing it back to the Rats.

DC bubble dwellers can not win.

RINOs can not win.

Anti-Americans can not win.

Communists can not win.

Liberation Theologists can not win.

there is a pattern.

Only chance to stop the Amnesty bill is for the House not to consider any immigration related bill at all.

Michelle Bachman explained it. ANY House bill no matter if it promises all the border security in the world will be a trojan horse.NO bill at all must come out of the House because it will be merged with the Senate Amnesty and trojan horse bill. Call congress.

Tell them to stop all Amnesty or immigration bills.they are all trojan horse bills. some will promise border security that will never be enforced anyway.

Bachmann explained it . The House will write a border security bill only . then in conference the senate will add the virus and then bring it back to the house. then the conservatives won’t vote for it but democrats will all vote for it so then they only need 10% of republicans to pass Amnesty and the virus that will destroy America. so any bill at all will be added the virus . so best thing is for Boner to not let any immigration bill at all come out of the House. that is the only hope . call boner and the members of the House.

Tom Tancredo echos what Michelle Bachmann said.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3036438/posts

call congress . no bill at all from the House

and of course boner must not bring the Senate bill for the House to vote on. no senate bill, no border security bill from the House .nothing

Why does McCain and the rest of the GOP-e believe that Hispanic Americans approve of lawbreaking by illegals? What kind of racist attitude is that?

After careful consideration of McCain's point of view, I developed a response that's equal to his view of himself.

Says the clown that elected an obscure Zero with a questionable background to the highest office on the planet.

Hey Johnny....I've got a little idea: send all the illegals home, end Birthright Citizenship for the children of illegals so you never have to worry about them voting, and end gerrymandered districts to guarantee the election of "hispanics".

Problem solved: once the foreigners can't vote - because they went home - you don't have to worry about how they will vote.

McCain and Obama have reminded some of the Manchurian Candidate.
