Illegal Immigration is to me a minor issue. Keeping us from sliding into socialism is a bigger issue. McCain is a RINO. And I am not voting for him. I vote for who I think is the most conservative. MacCain ain’t it.

When I make my decision in November about who to vote for, Bob Barr's, association with the pro-choice, open borders, anti WOT Libertarian party and Barr's association with the anti American ACLU will certainly be a factor.

Look up the votes of McCain and the votes of Obama, then tell us that McCain did not support Roberts or Alito.

I can remember a time when I actually admired John McCain. I broke with him around 1999, when he was leading the charge against “Big Tobacco.” He’s degenerated considerably since then to become the pandering old fool he is today.

Come on! Illegals are socialists! Let another 35 million of them vote and it's Katie bar the doors and put America on greased skids straight into 3rd world socialist hell.

I’ll vote for him, I just won’t support him. Vomit in the trash can.

Well said, I feel the same way.

John McCain: “I could never nominate a Justice like Samuel Alito who wears his conservatism on his sleeve.”

Dear acapesket,

I don't think my own post defending a possible vote for Sen. McCain should be read exactly as a resounding endorsement.

Just a recognition that the alternative is a thorough-going cultural marxist and totalitarian communist.

It's merely that I fear an Obama presidency more than a McCain presidency.

"Grow up."

Growing up is what this nations self-centered, ignorant of history and economics voter base needs to do if we are ever to going make progress towards fixing what's wrong. We can't do it by ourselves. Some folks have to learn things through trial and error. It's time once again for the "stupids" of this country to touch the stove and burn their hands. Let them.

Would you characterize him as honest? That’s what I look for most, in anybody.

>> If we had 50 Republicans in the Senate he would caucus with the Democrats. <<

Sorry to break the news to you, but this already happened from 2001-2003 and McCain caused with the Republicans the entire time. It was Jeffords who caucused with the Dems (Zig Zag Zell Miller also caucused with the Dems and voted to let Daschle run things, but somehow freepers continue to hail Zell as a "true conservative" Dem)

Hate to break it to you, but they were in discussions with McCain, initiated by McCain, when Jumpin’ Jeffords made the talks moot.

"Let me just look you in the eye. I've said a thousand times on this campaign trail, I've said as often as I can, that I want to find clones of Alito and Roberts.

I worked as hard as anybody to get them confirmed. I look you in the eye and tell you I've said a thousand times that I wanted Alito and Roberts.

I have told anybody who will listen. I flat-out tell you I will have people as close to Roberts and Alito [as possible], and I am proud of my record of working to get them confirmed, and people who worked to get them confirmed will tell you how hard I worked."
