John McCain gets away with his slippery, open-borders talk again

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 8, 2008 08:47 PM

John McCain appeared in the “No-Spin Zone” tonight–and spun, spun, spun his way through a few, scant, superficial questions about immigration.

The GOP’s immigration drag queen has completely shed his costume.

Asked whether he would do anything about illegal alien sanctuary cities, he shrugged off the question by muttering that “of course” he didn’t approve of them (but was silent on taking any proactive measures to cut off their funding). Having dispensed with that, McCain then quickly gave his new slippery, flip-flop formulation about how we need to “secure the borders” AND have “comprehensive immigration enforcement/” “temporary guest work plan” (translation: amnesty) and “deal with the 12 million people already here” (translation: give them amnesty, DREAM Act, sanctuary, driver’s licenses, bank accounts, home loans, etc., etc., etc).

No questions about his decision to speak to La Raza/The Race in July.

No questions about his open-borders radical Hispanic outreach director and Cinco de Mayo money man, Juan Hernandez.

No questions about his anti-assimilationist campaign finance co-chair, Jerry Perenchio.

And no questions about how McCain would deal with heinous crimes like this.

Geraldo Rivera approves.

    Dear troll:

    HERE is evidence of an intellectually dishonest, deceptive, and cynical attitude by McCain: The 2006 version of McCain-Kennedy had a 90-day waiting period for a Z visa – the time allotted to DHS to check backgrounds and health of TWELVE MILLION illegal aliens. McCain changed that to ONE BUSINESS DAY in 2007 for both attempts to pass that abomination of a bill.

    And from his campaign spokesperson -

    Paul Jackson, his campaign spokesperson, said that sanctuary cities were “democracy in action” – each city deciding for itself what to do.

    Asked about how they can flaunt the 1996 law against sanctuary cities, he told me, “America was founded by breaking the law.”

    Intellectually dishonest?? No evidence? Try again, troll.

    Oreilly did the same with Hillary regarding sanctuary cities. The frightening part (for Republicans) is that Hillary showed that she had no clue as to what “sanctuary city” actually means while McCain showed us he does–and he is all for them.
    I keep hoping that McCain will get it regarding the threat that comes with open borders–alas, he doesn’t. McCain, thy party is Republicrat and you will surely prove it once in the WH and you force shamnesty upon us bona-fide citizens.
    BTW, I almost gagged when he told us all how Teddy R. was his hero. John, go do some research on your hero’s beliefs—Teddy would grab you by the ear and run you out the door while kicking your b-hind.

    I was ironing a couple of shirts when I was watching this in the bedroom. Somehow I managed not to throw the iron through the TV. McCain is the wrong man for POTUS.

    He is completely out there on energy policy, global warming, and is spouting his crap on immigration reform. He won’t go negative despite all the ammunition on either one of the Democrats (especially Obama Lama Ding Dong). The opposition is going to wipe the floor with this clueless grumpy old man.

    Every time he opens his freaking mouth I can’t wait to write in “none of the above.” I finally get my shot at the Idaho caucus on 27 May my vote will go for anyone, but McCain. A conservative can’t wear enough protective gear to get through the stench to free up a hand to pull the lever for this man in November.

    Unfortunately I voted early in Tennessee’s primary. My candidate (Thompson) withdrew and my vote was nullified. I did not vote for McCain and honestly do not know any one who has. While I believe he is a man of courage and character his politics is flawed.

    Democrats should be rejoicing this election cycle, it is a win win win for them. I am willing to risk another liberal on the Supreme Court, higher taxes and socialized health care. I am willing to suffer for the next four years because I believe that is the only way we will ever get another true conservative in office. Americans are too lazy, enthralled in their own lives or busy wondering how come they can’t keep a house they shouldn’t have bought than they are about the future of this nation or holding on too the foundation on which it was founded. A wake up call is required. We had some good conservatives to pick from. We failed miserably with our selection.

    This should answer your questions:

    RE: 122

    Buckaroo

    1. have you noticed McCain’s support for the earmark benefitting La Raza?

    2. Yes we may be in Iraq for a long time unless we do what we should have done in 2003-go after Syria, Iran, and Iraq….until we take out Iran and Syria militarily we won’t “win” Iraq.

    3. Keep military in great shape-either party will spend on military procurement-whether or not it is the best spending is always the question.

    4. John McCain who wants to call mexican lawbreakers “God’s children”, has refused to lift other than the middle finger for anti-abortion forces (except during an election year).
    Moreover his campaign finance reform efforts did nothing but muzzle conservatives during key races..not exactly looking out for our 1st amendment rights.

    5. Yes John will put federal judges on the benches but they will be liberals…take notice of his derision of Justice Alito when Alito was picked by Bush…only now he says he pick more Alitos in an election year.

    6. Second amendment…in a post Heller world, many libs will all of a sudden say they too are for the 2nd amendment..but here is the catch Buckaroo…they will pile on as much regulation on people who own or want to buy guns as they can.

    Moreover, John McCain wants to re-enact the kind of legislation renewing the 1994 Assault Weapon ban…in which your chosen gun will be declared an “assault weapon” and banned because it has whatever physical characteristic they don’t like from one day to the next.
    I could really go on about John McCain and the 2nd Amendment. Gun Owners of America has given john McCain an “F” rating, and the NRA only gave him a “C+”…not good Buckaroo

    10 years ago I could say that a good indicator of just how “conservative” a politician was was how consistently they supported the second amendment… atrue conservative candidate would past muster with both the NRA and GOA…if they could pass muster on this right, they understood that Americans has rights across the board, and did not want to get fleeced on government spending.

    Now the picture has changed completely.

    A politician who does not support the rights of Americans who played by the rules on immigration has no respect for them.

    Illegal immigration gives liberal politicians like McCain the opportunity to encourage vote fraud and most chillingly, Buckaroo, the fervent opportunity to replace your vote on issues with those of a fawning army of illegal aliens…this is why the libs of both parties love illegal immigration.

    This has the effect of making your participation in the political process null and void.

    There is nothing that John McCain offers to me as a conservative to vote for him:
    1. he is not good on abortion (what has he done for the anti-abortion movement???), even sued I think it was the Minnesota Rights to Life group all the way to the US supreme court. And he is pro-embrionic stem cell research.
    2. War on Terror: no waterboarding, rights for terrorists, due process by moving them to US soil, seems to think Iraq is it – not good enough. And why did he allow CLinton to cut the military? He seems to fiht for illegals hard enough, but did not fight for the military. And why can’t he memorize a speech, he has to read a teleprompter.

    3. Judges: I don’t believe him. He did not like alito, he will only nominate conservatives, knowing they will get rejected then will jump for joy to nominate another Stevens or Sutter.
    4. illegals: we all know open borders Juan and anyone trying to claim otherwise of this man must think we are all morons, NOT
    5. global warming bandwagon, ruin more US businesses (we have lost 30 mill US jobs under Bush, will lose more under McShame on hte alter of globalism)
    6. anti-big business (big oil is the big bad wolf based on MCwhatever)
    7. economy: self admitted to be clueless or something like that, tells people in Michigan to go to community college and get better education, while jobs keep being exported or taken over by illegals.
    8. He hates conservatives. Has no problem attacking us, but cannot attack BO or Hillary, no, they are his color, BLUE.

    And why won’t his very rich wife release her tax returns? I think we all have the right to know the lifestyle MCSahme has been enjoying on her dime, including the alleged private jet use for his campaign at a reduced price. By the way, does anyone think his homeS have virtual fences around them????
    As to O’Reilly, I NEVER thought he was a good interviewer. He definitelly would not have been a very good lawyer. He thinks way too much of himself, so I rarely watch him anymore, especially after he stopped using MM because of that scum, Geraldo. Keep on fighting MM, we need more like you. MM for President.

    However, did anyone catch the “change” in McCain’s tune, I thought I heard him carefully say “Immigration Reform” conveniently leaving off the word “Comprehensive”.

    Did anyone else catch this?

    I think he’s trying to differentiate from the lightening rod words that we all know from last summer of “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” so now he is just calling it “Immigration Reform”. Same thing, different name.

    McCain then quickly gave his new slippery, flip-flop formulation about how we need to “secure the borders”…

    Securing the borders might be even worse than the present situation.

    If the borders were secure, the politicians might consider this the hurdle they needed to overcome in order to pass legislation such as the Hagel-Martinez bill, which reportedly might have brought in as many as 200 million more Mexicans and assorted chamberpot immigrants. McCain to Michelle: “Darlin’, we did what you wanted and secured the border, so now we only have legal immigration, and immigration made our country great.”

    Both the Democrats and Republicans want hordes of immigrants, so it will be difficult to stop them. The Dems want those votes that they get from low end chamberpot immigrants, and the Republicans want a Chinese or Indian type of labor force to jack up business profits.

    Then again, perhaps this liberal incursion will be so bad that we turn around and get forty years of Conservative rule as the liberals had before?

    In order for there to be a Ronald Reagan, you gotta first have a Jimmy Carter. We might end up with a Dem in the White House in 2009, but if things continue to go well in Louisiana, I dare say that we could have eight years of a Jindal adminstration starting in 2013, and finally true conservatives running the government.

Between mass immigration leading to excess diversity, defict spending, pandering, entitlements, squabbling minorities, corrupt pols, apathy on the part of the citizens, looming amnesty for illegals etc, our nation can not stand for long.

    Okay, as I see it, real conservatives have but one option left; start a new party SPECIFICALLY for this election only. A wet towel would be a better choice for POTUS, just as long as it understood fiscal conservatism and the Rights guaranteed in the Constitution! We’re all willing to gripe daily about how John McCain doesn’t support our beliefs, and the evils represented by the Demo-Twins, Shrillary and Obamessiah, and yet, we’re doing nothing to provide a viable third option.

    Someone with skills, start a 3rd Party website. Personally, I like the name “the American Party”, but it’s probably already taken. I’ll write… whatever we need. Letters, memos, press releases, etc. My daily job is writing and I can at the least, do it as well or better than some of these bone-headed statements I’ve read from all three camps so far!

    I’m completely serious about this. If we’re not giving our money to support Republicans, we should, collectively, have enough to do this on our own, right? Is the web big enough? Can we build our own party on here?

    I strongly believe, if Ronald Reagan were alive today, this is what he’d expect or demand to see. Our Founding Fathers would be appalled by our apathy. I love my country too much to idly stand by and debate further which lever “stinks the least” come this November! Obviously, we need to ACT.

    Comically, we gripe about Mexicans leaving Mexico because they’re unwilling to, or unable to fight the corruption in their government, when we ourselves remain frozen in a two-party system in which candidates from either side are equally elitist and corrupt. That, my dear friends, is the epitome of stupidity! If we have the time available to leave comments on here, then we’ve got the time available to organize the largest, most massive mobilization of conservative voters this nation has ever seen!

    John McCain appeared in the “No-Spin Zone” tonight–and spun, spun, spun his way through a few, scant, superficial questions about immigration.

    Yeah, I caught part of this so-called interview last night on Fox with O’Reilly and McCain. So much for the tough questions from O’Reilly.

    Can’t you just imagine McCain debating either Obama or Clinton in the run up to the general election on issues like immigration, etc….

    Obama: I support sanctuary cities

    McCain: I would have to agree with my esteemed colleague on this matter.

    Obama: I agree with giving illegal aliens amnesty and making them citizens of the U.S.

    McCain: Again, I would have to agree with my esteemed colleague.

    Open borders, which has been the status quo for decades has little to do with Muslim immigration. The 9/11 hijackers entered the US legally. I’d be more worried about Saudi students than Mexican nannies. Immigration is not the only issue in national security. Missile defense, for instance, is of utmost importance and I’ll take McCain on that one.

    It is lesser of 2 evils again. Unfortunately for me, abortion is a non starter, and frankly I don’t trust him on judges either (not to mention allof the conservative judges are pretty young).

    I’m sure Obama’s far left supporters CAN trust him on the sort of judges he’ll appoint. Right now some law professor is having tea with William Ayers and contmplating being the next Supreme Cout justice.

    So I find little redeemable about this rino, “I’ll build the GD fence if you wnat it”, backstabber. A victory in 08 only assures he is hte GOP nominee in 2012.

    And a loss for McCain in 08 assures total Democrat control of both houses of congress and the White House in what would surely be the most far left government the US has ever had, all at a critical time of war.

    Not my point. My point is it is ridiculous to import muslims legally or otherwise, which mcamnesty supports (as in mass immigration), while claiming to fight terrorists around th eowrld. Take care of your own home before you go to foreign lands to fight them.

    I beleive in total, mcamnesty is slightly better than the others. But IMHO, the MOST important issue is mass immigration. It is decaying our country from within. By the time we “win” the war agaisnt terrorism abroad, there will be little left of the homeland. And on this issue there is not an iota of difference between them. Again, I will not validate the GOP’s drift leftward. And a mcamnesty win does just that while at the same time proving they can p*ss all over the base and still win.
