Shamnesty birds of a feather…
…flock together. In case you needed to be reminded of the arrogant, debate-suppressing, open-borders pandering, grass-roots-trashing shenanigans of the Shamnesty Brothers, here are John McCain and his best friend from South Carolina on the campaign trail today. Sear it into your memories:

Looks like Brokeback Mountain has a sequel.
I attended a Fred Thompson rally in Simpsonville, SC a couple of days ago. NONE of the people I talked to had anything nice to say about Lindsey Graham. Graham does have some opposition in the primary this year and I look for him to be voted out.
Like pigeons, they are dirty birds that leave a lot of skat in their wake.
lol gayle, the whole thing say’s mouth caravan…. 8:
Ugh this brings back the bad memories of this summer.
Why isn’t Fred going after McCain more? One well done AD on the ‘effects’ of McCain/Kennedy and people would see McCain for the open borders freak that he is. This pandering response of “I’ve heard the American people, I’ll secure the borders” is B&LLSH$T.
He gave us that response in September too, then he voted in favor of the Dream Act.
This time we’re take proactive measures to eliminate their waste.
I’m so glad those two are campaigning together in SC. Seriously, I am.
Keep reminding the voters, Johnny.
Ladies and gents, that ferret is who McCon would select as his VP.
Too nauseated at the thought to comment further…
Obviously McCain did NOT learn his lesson as he tried to get us to believe.
SHAMNESTY round ??? DAMN HIM.
Drop out John, man up and bow out.
Where was Smell Martinez?
John Ansell, if any candidate has any sense they had better not campaign with Mel. That move would be suicide in most of this state—well, not Miami.
McCain’s role in the amnesty shamnesty by itself disqualifies him as commander in chief; he hasn’t repented yet. Then there is his cuddling with Kennedy and Feingold, not to mention his constant courting of the press. He has been flipping the bird to Reagan conservatives like myself for some time. Sometimes I wonder if the Manchurian Candidate hasn’t been reincarnated as the Viet Cong Candidate.
McCain needs the presidency; he won’t get re-elected as an Arizona Senator. The new law that took effect on January 1st is going to fix a lot of the illegal immigrant problems for AZ. Since the courts are not blocking it, McCain and his shamnesty are in trouble.
If we can keep him out of the White House, we’ll probably get him out of the Senate, too. A two-fer!
True Lindsay. I just figure McCant has done so much to kill his chances that he might just take that extra step and have Smell Martinez campaign for him too. Guess Julie Annie might have got him first.
I know it is still early in the process but has anyone thought about what they will do in the general election if McCain gets the Republican nomination? Is there any reason to cast a McCain vote other than the obvious terrorism issues? Do you think he would appoint conservative judges to the Supreme Court? Why should we not let the Dems win and take all the heat?
Texasdee, if the Republicans nominate this nut, then they’ll never see another penny from me. I’m sick of seeing people flying the Mexican flag outside their home. Especially when there is no Old Glory Flying above the Mexican Flag. I’m tired of seeing cars with the Mexican flag bumper stickers all over them. So I guess that make me Sick and Tired of this whole illegal alien issue.
Oh, and Texasdee I forgot to mention, we cannot let the dems win and take all the heat. They are all open border supporters. Our future is too important to let them destroy it.
My problem is this..if McCain gets the nomination then both candidates are open borders. Why would it be better to further damage the Republican party by having another open borders Republican president then to let the Dems take the heat for the open borders chaos? Unless there is another compelling reason to vote for him, such as judge nominations or something, wouldn’t the party be in better shape in 2012 if we don’t put another RINO in the Whitehouse?
They both nauseate me beyond belief….I cannot look at either and I certainly would not take Lindsay’s suggestion to vote for McCain …..could they both lose? That would be a happy day.
They, with their shamnesty scam, have violated the trust of Americans. They should be shunned.
McCain insults all Americans when he says, “My friends (sic), you can’t do it (pick lettuce for $50/hour)!” What race/ethnic group is ‘you’?
Graham insulted all Americans when he called me and many others (who only want our laws enforced) a BIGOT (sic) in front of La Raza, the king of all ethnic/nationalistic hate groups.
This pair has got to go down in flames. Now!
I hold them both responsible for the type of policies that resulted in this embarrassing village.
Michael Medved was whining and crying today about how unfairly McCain has been treated by all the talk hosts for daring to speak the truth about illegal immigration and how 12 million “Americans” - that’s how Medved referred to them - weren’t just going to go home in 90 days.
Hey, Mikey - When EVERYONE is saying something about someone that you disagree with, isn’t there a slight possibility that you might be the one in the wrong?

mngirl,
Fred Thompson isn’t “going after” McCain because they were good friends in the Senate. In fact, Thompson was a vocal supporter of McCain-Feingold.
I suspect (sadly) that Thompson is angling for McCain’s VP spot once his campaign folds this Saturday.
birds of aTar and featherMedved is not reading the news accounts.
He is an ostrich with his head buried in the sand, refusing to listen to these illegal ‘Americans’ explaining why they are self-deporting in 4 states that have passed recent laws.
Duke, yes that is a story that has floated many x in the past weeks put I had hoped Fred was “over” that impulse. No way is he a VP candidate for McCain, there are so many people in line for that already and Fred would be “too conservative”. Just two in line for McCain’s VP are Lindsay Graham”nesty” and my Governor Tim Pawlenty who has been AWOL here because he was campaigning all over Iowa and NH for McCain.
The real test will be, when Fred leaves the race, he’d better endorse Romney or I’m going to ask for my money back.
They both nauseate me beyond belief….I cannot look at either and I certainly would not take Lindsay’s suggestion to vote for McCain …..could they both lose? That would be a happy day.
Messed up quote you had me so irritated. I.Do.Not.Like.McCain since his Gang of 14 tricks and amnesty tricks.
Seeing this duo of lying crapweasls together again just raises the old blood pressure when I think of what they tried to pull on us last summer. I will never forget or forgive. I would like to see both thrown out of the Senate when their next election seasons come around.
McCain was asked today if he would promote drilling in Anwar to help the US become less dependent on foreign oil? He said ,”I wouldn’t drill in the Grand Canyon”. He might as well signal to the rest of the world that if he is elected we will continue our dependency. This is a short sighted stubborn man.
What’s with the self-destructive campaign behavour of the candidates these days? McCain is desperately trying to prove that he’s “the only true conservative” in the race and then he does this, worth a good -5 points in the next primary.
Good job, John.
Sheesh.
How John McCain is as high in the polls as he is absolutely boggles my mind! I think he’s getting a high DIM crossover vote. His luck will change in SC.
McCain/Graham - Make.Me.Hurl
#34…Answer: Media conspiracy. They like to throw turds in the punch bowl to keep the party guests on their toes.
I ray you are right Oink, but what is up with the polls shoing him leading in SC? Have people forgotten what this guy has done? I cannot vote for him ever, I don’t care who the Dems put up. He will put in lib judges (exhibit: purposefully blocking Bush conservative judges), he will give amnesty (he has said so in the last 2 debates and many recent speeches), he will give terrorist rights (no waterborading, lawyers, close guantanamo bay, how can anyone trust this guy on terrorism), he will raise taxes (his excuse will be, well, no cuts in spending exist, so I have to raise them), he will push thru radical environmentalist agendas that we will regret in a few years; he will listen to the libs (he has sided with them many times before, why stop now); he will probably push socalized medicine cause he will want to please his new formerly illegal constituency. I am very disappointed in Fred for refusing to attack McCain. I stopped considering Rudy when he mentioned if he was not running, he would support McCaine. Any so called republican who can actually support McCain is a no go for me, so if Fred does decide to support him, I will loose ALL respect for Fred because he will be saying one thing and doing the complete opposite.
Heard Fred on Hannity today—-Sean kept pushing why Fred will not go after McCain and only Huckerbee—Sean got so frustrated with Fred and said because HE IS YOUR GOOD FRIEND—Fred said we have been friends for years. Fred lost my respect and vote today—Fred is part of the good boys on the hill watching each others back and the heck with the citizens–I am for Romney–hinted he may get out if he looses in SC-who gets his endorsement?
Cohort of Whores
Fred hinted he would get out if he loses SC—-my above post sounded like Romney would get out—
I’ve been following our Repub candidates for over a year now, trying to decide who to vote for, first it was who can win, then it was, who is a true conservative. Still no closer to a decision, I know McCain lost me at “no waterboarding”. Rush Limbaugh put it in perspective for me, his quote ” sometimes, you have to have a Jimmy Carter to get a Ronald Reagan”.
John Sidney McCain III, the Jane Fonda of illegal infiltration.
January 16th, 2008 at 10:53 pm, puhiawa
you were referring to the RINO party?
I think he’s looking at this with “pragmatic” eyes and doing this sort of calculus:
1. Hispanics are a rapidly growing voting block.
B. They are socially conservative (i.e. por-life, religious), but easily swayed by the free government cheese offered by the Dems. (As are weak, dependent European-Americans.)
3. If the Stupid Party looks like they’re being mean to Hispanics, they’ll rush to the embrace of the Dems.
4. Ergo, pandering to the Hispanic voting block is realpolitik, pure and simple. Nothing personal; just business.
That’s the problem these days: Principles are not very marketable. Pandering is.
McCain epitomizes what the Founding Fathers feared. While we as a nation are milquetoast, history will look upon the behavior of the current crop of pols as treasonous.
McCain could not ignore his MS-14 (McCain Shamnesty Gang of 14) homeboy.
Great news for the rest of the field.
Nice reminder of McCain’s new plan for for his McBorder - now he wants to seal the border to keep the illegals here for life.
I’m sorry you feel that way. It seems there are a lot of people who think Fred should be hitting McCain harder.
For as long as I can remember, people have complained about how dirty politics is and how they wished the mudslinging would stop.
Now along comes a man who is running a clean campaign; who disagrees with his opponents without being disagreeable; and who has stated on several occasions he thinks his friend is wrong on certain issues–and he’s being given down the road about it.
Fred and John are friends. It is not necessary for Fred to talk about John in such a way as to create enmity between them. I have friends I disagree with. I prefer to tell them they are wrong in a respectful manner. I don’t villify them for it. It is one thing to say a person is wrong; it is another thing tell them they are full of s***.
Fred Thompson is showing just how much class he has. I respect him more for it, not less.
I agree with #46. For Fred to tear his good friend to shreds in order to win power would be the act of a craven politician, not an honorable man. We aren’t used to politicians willing to lose rather than not be able to sleep at night.
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? - Mark 8:36
Pointing out an opponent’s pernicious views and their ensuing consequences is not mudslinging; failing to do so is irresponsible.
Now that I think about it, anytime you see either of these dirty birds it would be recommended to put down a nice thick layer of New York Times’ to catch their droppings. The two mediums are perfect for one and other.
And what do you get when you pander and give up the principle of enforcing the laws - all the laws??
This obscene (in many ways) example. Shame on America. Shame on McCain, Bush, Graham, et al. All ignoring a successful policy of attrition by enforcement.
Watch the whole news video - snack bars, brothels, and Sunday Mass - all in a shanty town smack next to the San Diego suburbs.
#56 - What do you get? Duh….POWER!!! MONEY!!! MORE POWER!!!! Integrity’s nice and all that, but it doesn’t put you at the top of the heap, now does it?
Listen, the Dems want hordes of invaders because they know they can be bought by offering the wealth of others in exchange for their votes. The Stupid Party wants the invaders in order to provide cheap near-slave labor for their corporate chainholders.
The Dems sing us sad songs of “social justice” and make us feel bad for being mean to these po’ folks. But what does the Stupid Party tell us to get us on board? They tell us our produce would be more expensive and our lawns wouldn’t be mowed if fair wages were paid. We must destroy our nation’s sovereignty and standard of living and cultural underpinnings in order to MAKE A BUCK!!!
There’s a word for this sort of thinking: IMMORAL!!! It is immoral to exploit people in this way. How these jokers can claim to support the free market when they self-deal themselves an army of cheap labor that’s disposable and never-ending in supply is pathetic. They’ve put a thumb on the scale and your salad is tainted with the blood of the exploited. If prices have to go up because we’re suddenly paying a legitimate wage, then so be it! It’s basic first-day ECON101 stuff involving supply and demand and competition.
Here’s the greatest unintended consequence of these shamnesty pimps and sovereignty selllouts: After you’ve given the invaders their freshly-minted citizenships in order to get their votes, haven’t you just qualified them for minimum wages and all the other expensive mandates you were dodging by employing illegals in the first place? Whatcha gonna do now, Bub? Bring in a new wave of cheap labor/invaders?
Rinse. Repeat.
texasdee said:
Absolutely correct in your thinking. Also, who says McCain’s picks for judges would be any different than say, Hillary’s? If we only have a choice of open border candidates, I say sit it out and let the Dems take the blame when it goes to heck. This will also send a signal to the RNC to get us some real conservative candidates in 2012.
“Birds of a feather”, I guess.
“No drilling for shamnesty” McCain, what a tool.
There is a difference in bringing another candidate’s shortcomings to the light and mudslinging, BackwoodsConservative. The prior is part of a successful campaign on issues. The latter is cheap politics.
Light-loafered Senator Gramnesty is the only congress critter McInsane can get to appear with him. In South Carolina, this will hurt McInsane more than help, since it’s just a living reminder of their pro-amnesty open borders stances.
Exactly.
And I agree he should do more of the former, while admiring him for not letting it cross over into the latter.
People, we need to spread the word to our friends, relatives, casual acquaintances and co-workers that don’t follow politics and get their info from the “drive-by” media, that McCain is wrong on immigration. Tell them to research his record and to not just listen to the news or polls. He is bad news for America.
I was kind of disappointed when LaRaza cancelled it’s national convention here in KC, a couple of friend’s and I had planned to go and protest open border policies in 2009. Buh By

I hope they do pull their convention from here the last thing we need is a bunch of race baiter’s in this city. Buh By
Not only Laraza but the NAACP is threatening to pull there convention scheduled for 2010. Buh By

The good new’s is the Minutemen are considering holding there National convention here in KC. I certainly hope so I would like to attend. Hello!, thank’s for coming to our city.
that should be: all do pull their
McVain will win SC and Grahamnesty will get re-elected. Why? Because the Republican Party loyalists are stupid.
I WILL NEVER FORGET EITHER OF THESE TWO TRAITORS!!
NEVER!!!
Folks… I also listened to Fred Thompson on Hannity yesterday. Sean asked why he hasn’t gone after McCain. Fred said HE HAS. He has highlighted their differences and pointed out McCain’s push for amnesty and being against the Bush Tax Cuts and other things. What do we want him to do? Jump up and down on John McCain’s neck? Fred said John McCain’s been in the public for 25 years and he feels people are well aware of his record. But he has pointed out McCain’s weaknesses. Fred said he is focusing on Huck and some of the other so much because their records are NOT as long and they are flip-flopping panderers. Fred said he respects John for his service to our country and for being a POW. That’s it.
Why not? The fact that he isn’t is just more ice in the belly.
VERY well said. Triple dittos.
Both parties have to answer to THIS.
Simply despicable. Someday (one can hope) the servitude of illegal aliens will be an embarrassing part of our history, not an on-going stain on our national conscience. Is the current situation that far removed from apartheid South Africa??
How about a little morally-correct LAW ENFORCEMENT?
Some of the folks above are forgetting that McCain always teams up with a Democrat. His VP would most likely be Kennedy, Kerry, Specter or that New York guy…Clinton.
Yeah, I know Specter has an ‘R’ there, but he seems to be left of most RINOs.
I’m sorry, but an honorable man does not let friendship or anything else prevent him from speaking the truth. You don’t have to tear someone to shreds to point out how you differ. I’m not asking for mud-slinging or personal attacks from Fred. I just want to know where his ideas for the country differ from McCain’s. Is that too much to ask?
If Fred has no differences with his friend, he should get out of the race and throw his support to McCain. Otherwise, I’m going to assume he supports all of McCain’s crazy ideas like he supported McCain-Feingold. Either that or he puts his friendship with McCain above the best interests of the country. If either of these two reasons are true, I’m not going to support Fred.
If the state of South Cack-a-lacky gives a victory to either McCain or Huckaby, shame on them. Each is nothing more than a gold plated RINO.
I do not like McCain and Graham;
I do not like them Sam I Am.
I did not like them in the Senate.
I would not like them as my President.
