''The fact is that Sen. Obama proposed amendments that would have killed the legislation. I fought for it,'' McCain told more than 350 people at a town hall meeting.

Lol. Suckers. I got my nomination.

John McCain vowed Monday to make immigration one of his ''first priorities''

He's not courting hispanics, he's courting illegals.

McCain promises amnesty in first 100 days to NALEO

And here is McCain’s ad, in SPANISH, promising a path to citizenship.

This ad is not about immigrants, legal immigrants already have a path to citizenship. This ad is about legalizing ILLEGAL aliens!

The lesser of two socialist is still a socialist.

There is no such thing as a wasted vote. I’ll write someone in.

You can take credit for the Amnesty.

America loving country first? By legalizing illegal aliens?

You would have thought he got the message before Palin joined the ticket.

McCain spearheaded a bill in 2006 -- reviled by the right wing of his own party -- that would have allowed illegal immigrants to earn citizenship.

As I recall, the bill was reviled by many, many more people than just those on the "right wing" of the GOP. One might even consider the enormous resistance to have been bipartisan.

A few months ago, Duncan Hunter had a phone conversation with John McCain. John McCain promised Duncan Hunter enforcement of the border for is support.

John McCain has broken that promise.

McCain didn’t need my support to obtain the RNC nomination. Therefore he doesn’t need my support to obtain POTUS.

I’m writing in Duncan Hunter.

Gov. Palin is there to ensure that Conservatives don’t stay home.

Smart move by McCain, now he can pander and not worry about the base.

You're absolutely correct. Most of my family tends to be on the very liberal side and they don't like the way their precious social programs are being swamped under a tidal wave of illegals.

That is the same promise McCain made to La Raza a few weeks ago. And they went on to endorse Obama anyway.

I don't trust McCain.

He still doesn't get it. Just like Bush2. Three defeats for his Comprehensive Immigration Reform (aka, McCain-Kennedy; aka, Amnesty for illegals) in two years, and he still doesn't get it. Polls showing over 70% of the American people are against amnesty, and McCain still doesn't get it.

Palin may have been a good VP pick, but McCain continues to make it difficult to support him.

You cant possibly be serious. You have to look at the whole picture. If you want to put all your eggs in one basket, you will come up disappointed. I am sorry there is no easy solution to a crises that has been cummulating for decades.

You have to see tha John loves America. Barak loves himself...and he is a puppet of Socialist money makers.....They just had dinners that cost $28,500 a plate...and He thinks Johns out of touch!!!

This election is to important....vote McCain...then protest,petition,write your congressman....but Barak will not answer you call to Immigration reform.

Tancredo may have, but he is not running. So what do you do? You must be reasonable.

Everything in you if you are a sensible person, know Barak Obama will sell America out and change our country so we know it no more....

We can work with John McCain.....We have Palin who fights the battle of borders all the time. Do you know her position. I think she will be an excellent advocate for Conservatives. Her record shows she is bullish. Doesnt back down easily.

Palin was the bone he tossed us.

The only way I'll reconsider supporting the RNC ticket is if McCain starts walking around wearing this:

Do you want to win this? It seems to me there’s a lot of folks here who hate Hispanics so much that rather than reach out to them, they’d prefer to elect Obama and suffer under the thuggery of the most leftist, anti-American, anti-Christian president ever to come along.

When I was driving around central California yesterday, I saw hundreds of Hispanic (mostly Mexican, but some Guatemalan) businesses, large and small, and modest but bustling subdivisions inhabited mainly by quite prosperous looking Hispanics. Passing through the black neighborhood on the edge of my city, however, I saw squalor, no businesses owned by blacks (the usual Korean businesses), and a people who have spent their lives going from one government handout to another, to the point that they have lost all initiative.

IMHO, the more ambitious, hard-working Hispanic illegals (illegal only because our quota for Latin Americans is unrealistically low) we can make into permanent citizens, the better. And I’d sure rather have them voting GOP.

This is the RNC’s problem, not mine. McCain didn’t need my support to get this far. I won’t compromise my values to help him finish bringing this country down.

But, if he starts wearing a moose hat, I’ll reconsider.

Yes but this time McCain said secure the border. No one’s going back to the 2006-07 amnesty bills. They are dead. McCain knows this.

Dear future president John McCain: Stop pandering. No ‘Hispanic’ who will vote for you will vote for you based upon the concept of amnesty. No ‘Hispanic’ will vote for you for a ‘path to citizenship.’

It is time to open your eyes and realize that the best way to get ‘Hispanic’ votes is to take a firm stand against illegal immigration - from Mexico, from Poland, from Brazil, from Guatemala. It is a forum to talk about your respect for life, for family values, for the sanctity of marriage, and for ending the pandering to La Raza.

‘Hispanics’ are suffering the same pain that others have suffered. In the belief that pandering helps, their communities are being torn to pieces, ripe fertile hunting grounds for international gangs fed by a wink and a nod ‘immigration control’, their children murdered in the streets because they didn't join the right gang, and the feelings of hopelessness when people look at their brown skin and assume that they only speak Spanish, and the only jobs they'll be fit for are food services or lawn care.

It is time to stop following the path blazed by liberal activists and /actually/ look at the people you'd represent. I know you have it in you, I saw you at the American Indian Congress in 2000 where you refused to pander, where you openly said that only hard work, sound investing, and diverse enterprise will lift up American Indian tribes, not continued handouts from the Federal government.

Be the maverick you claim to be, open your eyes, look at the people you want to represent, and give them hope - hope that all their hard work to be Americans is not ignored, that their families will be safe, not more pray for liberal agendas. Hope that their neighborhoods won't continue to be shooting galleries, and their daughters safe from gang initiations compounded by exploitation by the so-called Planned Parenthood.
