I hesitate to post this, and I frankly find it distasteful, but this is politics, and war. You can hate McCain, but putting in a democrat will not teach the country or Republicans, any sort of lesson. The vast majority of our citizens are simply too dumb, or too uncaring, to get such a lesson.

If McCain is the nominee, I will vote, but not for the office of President. Why be complicit in the destruction of the country? On amnesty, McCain is no better than Obama or Hillary. The liberal agenda will be pushed thru because the Dems will become the permanent majority party based on the Hispanic vote. By 2050, one in four residents of this country will be Hispanic, up from the 1% in 1950, and that is without amnesty. We have added 100 million to our population since 1970, mainly due to immigration, legal and illegal, and we will add another 167 million by 2060, again without amnesty. Who would have ever thought that we would see an America of half a billion people in about 50 years?

Just McCain getting the nomination will start a tidal wave of illegals trying to get in here for the amnesty that surely will come whether McCain, Obama, or Hillary is in the WH. The Spanish language radio and TV stations are really playing up the fact that McCain is going to get the nomination and that he will solve their "problem,", i.e., he will legalize their status here. And we will be no where near securing our border to stop the onslaught.

Immigration will be off the table in the general election. We have lost an opportunity to educate the American people on the issue. And McCain will view his nomination as a mandate for his position, i.e., legalizing the status of the 12 to 20 million illegals already here and the estimated 66 million LEGAL immigrants who will enter thru chain migration, i.e., family reunification. If that happens, everything else is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Your statistics are the same ones I have and are, largely, the reason for my depression. I felt there were two major issues this election.

One was immigration, legal and otherwise, and the second was the war on terror. These are, were is now more appropriate, crucial for our survival as a nation. The federal government’s primary job is, and always has been, to protect us. It’s the one thing states can’t do.

McClain has demonstrated an unwillingness to do anything about the former. Regarding the second, he seems to be far more concerned with the torture of our enemies, and securing for them every legal right enjoyed by American citizens. As far as I’m concerned, he rates an “F” on both issues.

Appointing conservative judges is another crucial role for our next President. Since Alito is to conservative for McCain, I’m not holding out any hope there either.
