While listening to McCain's policy speech, Sen. McCain incredibly stated the following regarding illegal immigration. I repeat this is not a joke.
Excerpt of speech:
MODERATOR ADDITION - CRITICAL CONTEXT WAS MISSING FROM THIS POST. CONTEXT HAS BEEN ADDED IN ITALICS. POSTER'S ORIGINAL TEXT WILL RESUME AFTER THE ITALICS.
So, what I want to do today is take a little time to describe what I would hope to have achieved at the end of my first term as President. I cannot guarantee I will have achieved these things. I am presumptuous enough to think I would be a good President, but not so much that I believe I can govern by command. Should I forget that, Congress will, of course, hasten to remind me. The following are conditions I intend to achieve. And toward that end, I will focus all the powers of the office; every skill and strength I possess; and seize every opportunity to work with members of Congress who put the national interest ahead of partisanship, and any country in the world that shares our hopes for a more peaceful and prosperous world.

"Border state governors have certified and the American people recognize that after tremendous improvements to border security infrastructure and increases in the border patrol, and vigorous prosecution of companies that employ illegal aliens, our southern border is now secure.
Illegal immigrants who broke our laws after they came here have been arrested and deported.
Illegal immigration has been finally brought under control, and the American people accepted the practical necessity to institute a temporary worker program and deal humanely with the millions of immigrants who have been in this country illegally."[1]
These statements are contrary to reality.
1) The border is not secure as the virtual and 700 mile fence have yet to be built.
2) Illegal immigrants have not been arrest and deported, unless 20 million people disappeared recently.
3) Current illegal immigration continues unabated today.
4) The US public is overwhelming against amnesty.

sssshhhhhhh.
Ummm.... Tell us what steps McCain, as Senator and presidential candidate, has taken to secure the border and eliminate illegals?
Until you can show some concrete action on his part you owe 'ktime' and apology.
lol
Dang, you slapped her into last week!
Dude, did you read the moderator addition to this thing? McCain the poster screwed the thread up from the beginning.The moderator addition came after I posted. I was responding to the original, "unadulterated," post without added context.
McCain or Obama will be president. Will you be doing anything to affect which one?Given the fact that all McCain is offering in regard to border security is pure fantasy, because it just won't get past Congress - and given that he and his rich wife were profiting from investments with Islamofascists - I may do something, but it will not be in support of a "maverick" who has too often stabbed conservatives in the back and who has palled up to the liberal media.
At least mccain is admitting that amnesty isn't going anywhere anytime soon. He must have gotten an earful from the GOP Senators not to push it unless he wants to suffer an embarrassing defeat.
What an absolutely ridiculous statement. Just entering the country is a crime and many of them use false documents to secure employment, another crime. As long as they're not caught right john? This clown has been around long enough to know amnesties only encourages more illegal immigration, and that's not something future generations should be saddled with.
McCain - describe what I would hope to have achieved at the end of my first term
So, what I want to do today is take a little time to describe what I would hope to have achieved at the end of my first term as President.
Right. This thread reminds me of what happened when H.G. Wells did his War of the Worlds.

I have never posted one thread yet

Please make an adult attempt to turn on Fox New Channel &/or completely read other pertinent threads before jumping into another hysterical thread post
Otherwise you may be mistaken for an employee of CBS, CNN, or MSNBC
You do not have to be at the top of MENSA to post a thread on Free Republic; but it helps to not shoot from the hip
I am no big fan of John McCain; I have posted numerous animated parody graphics that are hardly subtle or subliminal
McCain’s speech was nothing for conservatives to write home about - but it was intended (I believe) - to state his objectives during his first four years as President
Barack Hussy Obama Junior speaks in vague sweeping generalities and never tells what or how he will “change” America - and also “change” the world
Stalin and Hitler and bin Laden “changed” the world
Let’s try to do a doing bit of reserach before posting a thread on Free Republic
The FR Moderators have other things to do besides editing your incorrect and misleading posted thread “editorial”
DISCLAIMER: I could be wrong about any or all or the above - but I doubt it

Hear! Hear!
As we will be saying for the next four to eight years:
McCain happens sometimes !!! :^D
