It sounds like a rather artful answer. She is campaigning for McCain, so of course she says she supports his position. Then she takes the step of defining his position for him, the one she says she accepts, which is to secure the border. Now, we know from the past that he was not in favor of securing the border. He may be this week, since he is running for office. She isn’t backing the pro-amnesty McCain, she’s backing the McCain who supposedly supports securing the border. I’m not sure he exists, but thats the position she is claiming. The onus is on him now; she has put him in a position of having to accept her view.
“She isn’t backing the pro-amnesty McCain, she’s backing the McCain who supposedly supports securing the border.”
This is my issue with this whole mess.
John McCain is John McCain. There are not two McCains; just one spineless, gutless will-do-or-say-anything-for-a-vote McCain. The fact that she’s supporting him does her absolutely no service. You can’t endorse only half the man. Especially in the primary, especially against a Conservative.
