What's up with this Juan Hernandez guy who's a political advisor to McCain. Anybody with even half a brain should be concerned about McCains sell-out to Mexico and Mexico's blatant disregard for the immigration laws of the U.S. I won't vote for McCain <strong>under any conditions</strong> and I'll write in Fred Thompson if I can.

I want a candidate who intends to improve bad situations. 2) Getting things done does not matter if you have the wrong "things" on your agenda. And the particular "things" I want done are not really going to be done with willing cooperation from Democrats. Immigration from countries "vastly over quotas" must be stopped. Immigration from nations who ACTUALLY support terrorism must stop. (That means Saudi Arabia.) Creeping Dhimmitude MUST be stopped. 3) I will not lend my vote to a candidate who I think will do more damage than good. I learned this one the hard way. I still have nightmares over that vote. If both candidates are bad then vote for nobody. You won't have that bad vote on your conscience the rest of your life. At least then when the country goes to Hell it's not done with the sanction of my vote. 'nuff said for now. Notes for politicians.

When you are bombarded with "Hooray for the democrats" every day in the European news, I guess, after awhile, you come to believe it all. I lived in Europe too, but many years ago...England and France. It doesn’t surprise me that many Europeans support the democrats, living in socialism themselves.

Never. Republicans are always the ones who have to compromise. RINO Twins...great! I don't have much respect for Arnold anymore. He might as well go to the dark side where his wife is. He certainly isn't a Republican. When will the Dems reach across the aisle to our side? Never. Republicans are always the ones who have to compromise.
