McCain Signals Distance From Bush, Neocons
NY Sun ^ | 23 aug 06 | JOSH GERSTEIN

Posted on 08/23/2006 10:52:05 AM PDT by white trash redneck

Senator McCain's unusually blunt attack on the Bush administration yesterday, including a claim that President Bush and other top officials led Americans to believe that the Iraq war would be "some kind of day at the beach," is fueling suspicions that the Arizona senator and potential 2008 presidential candidate is seeking to straddle rival foreign policy camps in the Republican Party.

The Republican grass roots distanced themselves from Insane-McCain long ago. Both he and Rudy Julie Annie can run on the MSM ticket.

They can be the new turd party.

McCain is just telling the truth again as in "Straight Talk"...something you Bushbots just don't get. You're all SOOOO-o-o-o-o quick to forget "Mission Accomplished" and "They'll Welcome Us as Heroes" and "It'll Be Over in a Year (a albeit a Wolfowitz specialty)...

But he still agrees with Jorge on amnesty for ILLEGALS.

That's actually untrue:

I made clear that a comprehensive immigration reform bill must include three elements:
-snip-

Finally, comprehensive immigration reform must include a temporary worker program that relieves pressure on our borders, while rejecting amnesty. A temporary worker program would create a legal way to match willing foreign workers with willing American employers to fill jobs that no American is available to do. By creating a legal channel for those seeking temporary work in America, we would reduce the number of people trying to sneak across the border. This would free up law enforcement officers to focus on criminals, drug dealers, terrorists, and others who mean us harm. A temporary worker program would also improve security by creating tamper-proof identification cards, so we can keep track of every temporary worker who is here on a legal basis and identify those who are not.

A new temporary worker program should not provide amnesty. Granting amnesty would be unfair to those who follow the rules and obey the laws. Amnesty would also be unwise, because it would encourage others to break the law and create new waves of illegal immigration. We must ensure that those who break our laws are not granted an automatic path to citizenship. We should also conduct the debate on immigration reform in a manner worthy of our Nation's best traditions.

Let him finally win a GOP primary and we'll talk about his influence in the GOP. (An ACTUAL primary, not one where the Dems get to vote for him in OUR primary)

McCain I think wants to portray himself as some sort of tough guy with a send more troops in message.

You ain't gonna get that from McCain. He wants to bring home the troops just as much as the kook Democrats do. He made that clear as recently as last week stumping for another RINO, Mike Dewine in Ohio.

I don't care what kind of service Mclame has had.

He's as big a treasonous jerk as Murtha is.

Just whose votes does he think he's going to get in the Republican primary?

People who vote for RINOs.

Save all that energy for someone who actually backs McCain. You're wasting it all on me.
