In May 2001, we went to Phoenix, Arizona, to report on the porous Southern border. As part of that program, I interviewed Sen. John McCain and told him that the only way the border could be secured was to use U.S. troops. The senator disagreed:

SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, R-ARIZ.: I do not favor using troops because they are not trained for it. They don't have the kind of qualifications necessary. I have strongly favored us using all the technical equipment that our military has including satellites, including aircraft and other technical means.

Well now Mr. McCain has changed his mind, finally. But it took a terrible tragedy.
Arizona rancher Robert Krentz, 58, was found shot to death on his own property. Mr. Krentz leaves behind a wife, three kids and two grandchildren. His family had been ranching in Arizona since 1907.
Police suspect the murder was committed by an illegal alien who then fled back to Mexico. Authorities say they followed the man's footprints for about 20 miles until the trail stopped at the border.

You can always tell when an election is approaching — McCain tries to act like a conservative, law-supporting American.
Maybe Lindsey Graham is happy that “a bigot” has been made to “shut up”?
Gimme some water
I appreciate that the Senator has served his country for a long time and made a tremendous sacrifice in Vietnam. But, with all due respect, it is time for John McCain to find some worthy cause to support and retire from politics.
Now, now.
Besides. You’re a Palin hater. So who cares what you think.
Don’t get fooled again.
FUJUM, love it!
OK John, Since you have changed your mind I will be sending you a check this morning for $2000.00.
Whoops! That is an April Fools joke!
I hope he goes down.
Fair chance of it too.
Mc has his finger in the air to see which way the political wind is blowing. And that is the position he takes.
Currently, he had to lean way to the right and appear to be a staunch conservative.

If McCain does win re-election, the most dangerous territory on Earth will be between McCain and his friends across the aisle. He will trample anything and anyone to get back to his ‘friends’.
Disagree witht he article..He didn’t change his mind because the guy was murdered..he changed his mind because of JD Hayworth..
And take his crazy wife and daughter with him!
Up yours, McCain!
When your nation is being invaded by a hostile power, you deploy the military. Duh!
We are going to retire McPain. He and “Gramnesty” are going down!
Someone have/find the editorial cartoon of
McCain showing up on conservatives’ doorstep with flowers and lipstick lip prints all over his face and shirt?
“Honey I’m home, she meant nothing to me.”
