Shamnesty John McCain is back in full force: No, he never “got the message”
First, my friends, a reminder of what was printed right here on January 23, 2008:
After spearheading a disastrous, security-undermining illegal alien amnesty bill last year with Teddy Kennedy, “straight-talking” GOP Sen. John McCain claims he has seen the light. In TV appearances, he vows to put immigration enforcement first. On the campaign trail, he offers a perfunctory promise to strengthen border security and emphasizes the need to restore Americans’ trust in their government’s ability to defend the homeland.
“I got the message,” he told voters in South Carolina. “We will secure the borders first.”
But how can McCain cure citizens’ distrust when his own credibility on the issue remains fatally damaged? He doesn’t believe his own election-year spin. And he knows we know it. This is cynicism on steroids with a speedball chaser.
Not all of us have forgotten how the short-fused Arizona senator cursed good-faith opponents in his own party (“F**k you!” and “Chickensh*t” were the choice words he had for Texas GOP Sen. John Cornyn during a spat over enforcement provisions). Not all of us have forgotten that he voted against barring felons from receiving amnesty benefits under his plan. Not all of us have forgotten the underhanded, debate-sabotaging manner in which McCain/Kennedy/Graham/Harry Reid conspired to ram their package down voters’ throats.
His admission of the shamnesty failure is grudging and bitter. While he now tells conservative voters what they want to hear about the need to build the southern border fence, he takes a contemptuous tone toward physical barriers when talking to businessmen. “By the way, I think the fence is least effective,” he told executives in Milwaukee, according to a recent Vanity Fair profile. “But I’ll build the goddamned fence if they want it.” Straight talk? Try hate talk.
For all his supposed, newfound enlightenment about what most Americans want—protection against invasion, commitment to the rule of law, meaningful employer sanctions, an end to sanctuary cities, enforcement-by-attrition plus deportation reform, and an end to special illegal alien benefits that invite more law-breaking–The Maverick remains a Geraldo Rivera Republican. Like the ethnocentric cable TV host who can’t string a sentence about immigration together without drowning in emotional demagoguery, McCain naturally resorts to open-borders platitudes when pressed for enforcement specifics.
And, now, straight from the campaign trail with Arnold “Move Left” Schwarzenegger, McCain has shed every last pretense that he “got the message” from grass-roots immigration enforcement proponents and is back to his full, open-borders shamnesty push. No surprise to any of you. But his complete regression back to the “comprehensive immigration reform” euphemism is a notable milestone.
Also, you don’t need to guess anymore how he would have voted on the Feinstein/Craig illegal alien farmworker amnesty:
Republican presidential candidate John McCain joined Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in calling today for comprehensive immigration reform, including guest worker visas to bring employees to California’s Silicon Valley and the state’s vast agricultural fields.
The two men brought up the issue at McCain’s prompting during a global competitiveness roundtable featuring California technology executives and entrepreneurs.
Asked by Silicon Valley panelists on what he would do to grant more visa for skilled technology workers, McCain broadly advocated the comprehensive immigration reform plan he had backed with Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy in Congress.
The same issue brought McCain intense criticism during the Republican presidential primary from conservatives who assailed him as soft on illegal immigration and an advocate of amnesty.
But today McCain, the now presumptive GOP presidential nominee, said an immigration program is needed that protects America’s borders and national security. While he called for punishing employers who hire illegal immigrants, he also advocated a humane approach that treats illegal workers as “God’s children.”
McCain said they should be allowed to seek legal status in a “humane and comprehensive fashion” through a program “they can count on and trust.”
Responding to a question about so-called H1-B visas for Silicon Valley workers, McCain said: “We have to attract the best and brightest minds. It isn’t just H1-B visas. In our agricultural sector, they can’t find workers as well. We need a temporary agriculture (worker) program.”
Schwarzenegger echoed McCain’s remarks after the Arizona senator asked his opinion on the topic.
“We need to change the system. All this is part of a comprehensive immigration reform. You can’t piecemeal this thing,” Schwarzenegger said.
While the governor said, “securing the border is extremely important” to California he added: “You have to have the courage to do this kind of immigration reform so we can bring people into this country legally.”
Schwarzenegger said he supported a pathway to legal status so that more people can have “legal drivers licenses” and “everyone would have bank accounts…and there would be background checks so that there would be no criminal element in this country.”
Same old, same old about sham background checks.
They’ve learned nothing. Nada. Zippo. How about you?
***
More from the NYT:
“Senator Kennedy and I tried very hard to get immigration reform, a comprehensive plan, through the Congress of the United States,” he said. “It is a federal responsibility and because of our failure as a federal obligation, we’re seeing all these various conflicts and problems throughout our nation as different towns, cities, counties, whatever they are, implement different policies and different programs which makes things even worse and even more confusing.”
He added: “I believe we have to secure our borders, and I think most Americans agree with that, because it’s a matter of national security. But we must enact comprehensive immigration reform. We must make it a top agenda item if we don’t do it before, and we probably won’t, a little straight talk, as of January 2009.”

As to McCain: I knew this, I have been talking about his back-tracking for weeks. I already have a “Conservatives Against McCain” bumper sticker and I drive proudly with it. Better 4 years of BO/CArter. BO is not the smartest pumpkin out there and he will want to get re-elected so he will not be too much more dangerous that McShamnesty, McCain will be the DEATH of the conservative movement, if he is allowed to win. He is already giving us the finger, can you immagine what he will do if elected? Probably, like the Clintons, go after conservatives.
I gotta ask again, are we really certain the primary results weren’t totally rigged? WHO actually voted for McCain? I didn’t and nobody I know did either. It’s only May; we have 5 months to re-do the primary. Maybe if enough people petition the RNC? This is just nuts! We have to do something or our country is headed for some really bad times with a nitwit at the helm, (no matter who wins).
Then, about 2 years into his rule, he begins letting slip his “Messianic” tendencies, and believes the world’s masses should worship him. In 2012, Armaggedon begins.
This could be McCain’s new slogan: ‘Vote McCain. At least he’s not the Antichrist.’.
Michelle,
This is a great write-up; AGAIN this exposes the core fact that McCain can NEVER be trusted, and it encourages the frank and honest dialog we should be having about this CRAPWEASEL TRAITOR.
He will destroy what remains of Republican Conservatism if he is elected. Either way, we are facing a wilderness for at least the next four years.
I say, let Obama have at it. He will be hated; hated within a matter of months, and we will re-build for 2010 and 2012.
And the CRAPWEASEL McCain will be gone forever.
And you, Michelle, please keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you.
MCCAIN YOU LYING SACK OF SH*T. If you were face to face with me right now, I’d punch your friggin lights out, you b@stard.
I think you’d get points for that.
This is hilarious! Malkin swoops in a couple of times a week and bad mouths McCain and most of the posters on here flap around like a bunch of chickens in a barnyard, squawking and screeching and running into each other in their haste to state how much they hate the man!
Who are you voting for Malkin?
Vince are you Buckaroo ?
RE: Post #97
RealImmigrantChick, Where can I get a “Conservatives against McCain” Bumper Sticker?
McCain is the democrats inside man.
I hope he gets hit by a falling piano.
I am so disgusted with this lying sack of crap, I would gladly go out and vote for Obama OR Clinton right now. Twice.
Hey Vince, are you scoring for McCain points? You need to disclose. Your comment lacks any facts or even close to reasonable argument, that is typical of a McCain bot- just pathetic/insulting. But like I have said before, the more McCain bots insult, the more it reminds us: NEVER vote for McCain.
I am telling you fellow conservatives, McCain’s strategy is to go after Dem voters, not even just independents. He will try to show he and the GOP do not need conservatives to WIN, he HATES US. So, what should we do to show him without conservatives, the GOP is dead? I strongly believe that McCain will be very bad for the future of conservatives if he wins. I will do what it reasonably takes to save conservatism and ensure a MCCain defeat.
Dear Gentle Reader, Mr. Vince,
Quite likely, you are the only reader who considers another expose of the CRAPWEASEL McCain to be an exercise in swoop-down badmouthing.
Perhaps you would like to tell eveyone who YOU are voting for. Thank you.
Love2Rumba: CafePress.com , type in anti-McCain and stuff comes up. I get a lot of my conservative bumper stickers there.
LOL. Thanks.
Here’s a great article about McCain by a former Congressman (IIRC, he & JM were in the House at the same time):
http://tinyurl.com/4cl4sj
The more we vote for the lesser of two evils, the further left we slide and we’ll NEVER get a truly conservative candidate again.
Our current laws would be just fine if they were enforced.
We are witnessing the gool old Washington Two Step. Pass laws to address a problem. While the laws were passed to reflect the will of the electorate, the enforcement of those laws is not politically expedient.
Withhold funding for law enforcement, while the original problem not only continues but grows out of control. When it reaches critical mass, point out that the existing laws are not working and the system is broken, with the only soultion being a whole new set of laws that reflects the “realities” of the present situation.
McCain has been part of the problem in not enforcing out existing laws for well over 20 years. It was he and others who allowed this to become the issue it is today. And guess what? There is no assurance that he or other elected officials will fund the enforcement of a new set of laws. In fact, there is precedent to suggest that Congress will continue doing what it wants despite voters wishes. When Reagan was arm twisted into supporting amnesty, he did so based on the promise that amnesty was a one time deal. Congress would never allow the situation to get to the point to where the country had to consider that as an alternative again. And here we are, again.
Yes, illegals are God’s children. Their souls belong to God, but their asses belong to someone other than the US.

wow…….insult the lot of us….and our kind host? That’s not good.
You KOS-kids should be in bed by now wet dreaming about Obammy shouldn’t ya?
I will only add to RealImmigrantChick that we are not only talking about a bad candidate, but serious infiltration by operatives of interests hostile to conservatives through McCain’s candidacy:
This kind of stuff happens directly not accidentally.
The same operatives that now work for McCain and stay with McCain will be the same people we will have to deal with over and over in a MCCain Administration.
and the only question that will remain is just who is an undisclosed Democrat and who isn’t..
This is why cleaning the Republican House of RINOs and probably infiltrators is so vital.
I can never wrap my mind around the logic of the pro-Illegal Alien crowd.
If US citizens do the same job, it would cost too much. At the same time I’m supposed to believe that by making these illegal aliens US citizens that these “new citizens” won’t demand the same wages and benefits as any OTHER US citizen ? Could you expect our “new citizens” (or the ACLU) to continue to work on the cheap ?
Just hire US citizens !
Once the illegal aliens get amnesty, it’s just as economically sound to hire current US citizens.
I’m neither a brain surgeon nor a rocket scientist, nor do I play one on TV…..Just sayin’…..
The visualization just about had me wetting my pants laughing, but putting that aside, so what? McCain IS a lying POS and is well deserving of our derision. The fact that he is so despised by his own party speaks volumes, does it not? Democrats like Vince should be praising us for being able to see through his lies and not being blinded by the R next to McCain’s name. Then again, making such a statement would make them look kind of foolish in light of the Obamessiah..
Who’s the lesser of two (three) evils?
still figuring that one out..
Bob Barr as a protest vote.
Ay carumba McShame!
This is my concern, too. It’s one thing for a Dem to get elected w/out Conservatives, but if a Repub were to do so, it would be taken as proof by TPTB that Conservatism Is Dead. This would be devastating for Conservatism, and-more importantly-for the country.
I think McCain has decided that he’s safe in flipping the bird to Conservatives b/c Obama is such a far-left candidate that ultimately only those on the far-left will vote for BO.
The odd thing about this public pro-amnesty stance, though, is that the polls show that it’s not just Cons who are against it, but the majority of the nation. So, he’s either misreading the polls, or he’s decided that the benefits of being avowedly pro-amnesty outweigh the risk of alienating about 70% of the country. Strange…
I’m voting for Tom Tancredo, Vinny. Reality is: all three of the current crop of front runners are garbage, and are going to take the country down the sewer. At least I can go to sleep at night, knowing I didn’t perpetuate it.
As Cameron said in Ferris Bueller, “I gotta take a stand.”
What do you stand for Vinny? And don’t call her Malkin. Show our host a little respect Tinkerbell.
Grape Ape, the Pro-Illegal immigration crowd is a panopoly of interests ranging from Business owners who know that the cheapest labor is from the person who is here illegally and won’t ask for a raise, to the moonbats who believe that American Culture is somehow bad and needs improvement from other cultures to politicians who just want votes from warm bodies no matter what the consequences.
There is also a contingent of Mexicans from the La Raza zone who just flat out want to reconquer parts of the US for Mexico by sheer population insertion.
RE: post by love2rumba #119
Newsmax has changed the location of the article I cited so digging into their archives (after it was up for only 1 day…hmmm) here it is again:
oops here is the article from Newsmax I cited on McKinnon’s desire to vote for Obama rather than McCain for whom he has been working for…
McCain is just playing the “let’s raise some money game”. Conservatives aren’t buying his spin and keeping their wallet’s closed so he’s off pandering to the bigger piles of money on the left. Minimally he hopes he’ll get a few pieces of the pie that might otherwise go to oBORGama and the Democrat Congress.
Ugly politics, yes. But McCain’s time locked up by the NKs taught him to do what is needed to do to survive.
Plus, with the GOP Congress looking so pathetic, it doesn’t take much more brains than chewed gum on the underside of a table to figure out what table to hang on to for the long haul in 2008.
I ain’t giving him any money — my vote perhaps yes, not that it counts in my blue home state. Any political $$$ I’ve got are going to conservative PACs focused on supporting turning the GOP around. It’s a rebuilding year for the GOP — we’ve still got a few veterans to send packing before progress can be made…
I’ll vote for Norris, simply because of his idea for “robocop” on the border.
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=26614
Bob Barr looking more like someone i would vote for more than ever
Malkin/Nugent — the 2012 Tour?
Barring anything like that becoming a reality, maybe the Constitution Party bears some closer investigation.
WarTip, That is a package I could go for-Malkin/Nugent 2012….
What can I say-it rocks!!!!
Mistress Justice #60, eactly right; Tom Tancredo for President, Duncan Hunter for VP. No Newt; he is just McCain light, all kinds of favorable comments about Hillary, weak on global warming, always trying to reach accomodations with liberals.
How about comprehensive immigration ENFORCEMENT instead, senor McAmnesty??? Not just at the border, but going after the employers, too. And for REAL, too, not just the show raids.
Get a clue Malkin.
You have ZERO credibility when it comes to McCain.
A lack of trust, from a conservative, could be expected due to the fact that McCain IS a maverick.
Your lack of RESPECT is completely inappropriate. He is an honorable man.
If there are 12 million + illegals in this country & only 2% actually work in agriculture, what are the rest of them doing & why do we need more?
Honorable? I don’t think you know what that word means.
Maverick candidate McCain, meet maverick voter rooster.
You’ll have my vote as soon as Hell freezes over you moron!
All too easy.
McCain has shown he’s a sell out. Did either of you two McCain talking point regurgitators actually bother to read the article? Do you actually know who you’re cheering for?
I doubt.
But you are correct about one thing. He’s a maverick alright. For the other team. And by saying that, i mean for illegals and liberals.
Glad to know you support someone who doesnt respect most of his base, panders to illegals, and cant remember keep his stories straight when he tells people things. His honor as a soldier is perfectly clear. His dishonor in his current political dealings and failings is garish and unacceptable.
Our “squaking”, as you put it, is simply the sound of the truth. You can put that on your “Straight Talk Express”, and quote me on it.
For you McShamnesty supporters, I’ve noticed that you haven’t actually REFUTED anything said about him or the positions we take him to task over.
Do you have something worth noting, or pointing out where we’re wrong, or are you just a McCain supporting lgm-type?
Sorry lgm, it was there.
How many points do Vince and mbviews earn?
Litmus test for McCain?
Is the gang of 14 an appropriate course of action for our
representativesreprehensibles in office to use in order to represent their constituents? Does it serve in any way to encourage a straight up or down vote without partisan bickering?Is the McCain/Feingold finance reform act not silencing the voices of we the people while allowing rich special interest groups, lobbyists and other
political handlersowners of the politicians to speak freely with their money backing their promotion of a candidate?Is the McCain/Kennedy fiasco going to uphold and protect the laws of this Nation of Laws or undermine both our laws and our sovereignty while rewarding lawbreakers at the same time?
Is there anything to indicate to us non-believers that McCain is going to actually appoint Conservative judges after his support of such groups as La Raza, his hiring and continued financing of representatives of the Mexican government and all of his banter and actions which effectively thumb their noses at true Conservatives.
Is there anything in McCain’s record in the last ten years showing that he has consistently held to the values and principles of the republican party or has he continually waltzed across the aisle while thumbing his nose at us?
Do you honestly believe that he will appoint a strong Attorney General and Sec of State who will willingly go along with his stated goal of closing Gitmo and providing constitutional rights to non-uniformed enemy combatants?
You know what? I really am sorry that we are so screwed no matter which one of these “people” wins the general election but a vote for any of them is a vote against me, my personal beliefs, my Christian values and my Nation.
While I doubt anybody here really cares about me personally, the fact that we have three people to choose from who are all intent on contributing to the destruction of our nation ought to speak volumes on its own.
I do not know which honestly frightens me worse … the level of ignorance and apathy it took to get us to this point or the awful mess we will have to fall into before we begin to drag ourselves out of this current mess … or the price that we may have to pay to rebuild our nation.
All three potential candidates scare me, all of the potential results scare me. I guess you could just call me chicken little but if we are still around, we can look back and discuss it once the ramifications have been revealed.
And I am going to try not to be so verbose again.
This is what he’s been saying all along! To the best of my memory he never said he was giving up on the guest worker programs, etc. He only promised to secure the borders first. He did say he would send the criminals home immediately, but that’s it. This should not be a surprise to anyone.
More pearls from the “Crap-Talk Express”.
I would love to ask Mc-Amnesty, “What have you received or what was promised by the Mexican Gov’t, and/or the Drug Cartells to you, if you continue to push to undermine Americas sovereignty, and livlihood for American workers???
I have been saying this all along. He has never backed away from it. He merely repeated “secure the border first” whenever pressed on the issue.
He is a disaster and for this single issue alone will not get my vote. There are multiple other issues that disqualify him for me as well.
“a vote for any of them is a vote against me, my personal beliefs, my Christian values and my Nation.”
GENIUS!
Once the illegals get amnesty, employers will cut them loose as citizens and replace them with more illegals and guest workers as I doubt any serious enforcement will be done to eliminate illegal immigration.
Few, if any, US Citizen will work for the pay and conditions under which illegals and guest workers experience. Rules that apply to guest workers are different than for US citizens, so even if the flow of illegals ran dry employers would lobby, often successfully, to increase the flow of guest workers - which they are doing now.
Evidently, paying off politicians to put the screws on ICE to keep the gate open for illegals and continued increase of guest workers appears to be more profitable than hiring US Citizens or paying for the technology to operate more efficiently.
People, people, please. Along with MM, I have been telling you about JUAN from the perspective of a citizen of AZ. I have told you, HE DON’T GET MAD, HE GETS EVEN!! Also, HE MAY NOT ALWAYS BE RIGHT, BUT HE AIN’T NEVER WRONG!!! And last, YOU PEOPLE WILL GET WHAT I THINK IS BEST FOR YOU, LIKE IT OR NOT!!! Don’t write in NEWT, don’t vote BARR, don’t vote NADER.Vote for B. HUSSEIN or AUNTIE HILL… Put these despots in OFFICE… Than, just maybe, you may get your PARTY back from those who have HI-JACKED it. This country survived four years of CARTER, it will surely survive these two idiots. DO NOT WASTE YOUR VOTE!!!
Shamnesty advocates like McCain are genetically incapable of understanding why amnesty is wrong…proof?…they have never responded to any logical arguments about enforcing our laws, not rewarding illegal aliens, protecting our borders etc. Whoops…flawed argument…maybe they do understand that its wrong but don’t care because of personal benefits they would accrue through amnesty and open borders. Either way, voting them out of office or instilling fear in them that they will be voted out of office is the only weapon we have against them. I won’t be voting for McCain. Boomer, if McCain or his minions show up in Idaho, send them on their way licking their wounds!!
Any one on here proclaiming that they will not vote for McCain or vote for Barr, well I hope you enjoy our global surrender in the War on Terror. Be prepared to switch to the “religion of peace” like our friends in Europe.
Think of it this way, voting for McCain is more like voting against Hill and Obama. Obama would literally open up our borders and tell the Islamic fascists that we’ve given up. Voting for Barr is an irresponsible decision. Barr is a pure opportunist and just wants to get a few million votes to feel good about himself.
Given the number of islamic immigrants given preference by the State Dept. to relote to the US coupled with the growing number of converts here, you’d might as well be ready to fight or switch anyway - give or take 20 years or so. Maybe sooner if you live in Detroitistan.
that would be “relocate“
I’m pissed but I am not willing to subject our military to Obama. They deserve better. McCain is better. I am also not willing to let Obama select 2-3 Supreme Court Justices and f*ck up our Federal Justice system for the 30 years.
I’m gonna fight my representatives over every issue. We need to get the RNC/states to restrict Presidential primaries to Republicans only.
I want to fix/adjust just a little.
Think of it this way, voting for McCain is more like voting
againstfor Hill and Obama.ObamaMcCain would literally open up our borders and tell both Islamic fascists and illegal immigrants that we’ve given up.Barr really is more of an unknown. I see more people going for “Cut and Ron” Paul than i do for Barr. If he gets 4%, i’d be surprised.
Part of the wonder, and challenge, of the right to vote is the right of those involved to “throw away” their vote, or to vote for someone not as popular. I don’t consider people who would write someone in, or vote for an Independant and so on, as throwing theirs away. I would submit for this thread, though, that voting for someone and having to hold your nose to do so might constitute throwing it away on someone you didn’t -really- want elected in the first place.
gopftw,
I have got news for you there is no policy difference between McCain, Obama, or Hillary.
But you put in McCain you will just see how fast the rest of the Republican party won’t listen to you…
This must be what you want, right?
Keeping the Republican Party in the Conservative orbit is what is important unless you are lgm.
Some days ago I sent a scathing e-mail to McAmnesty’s senate website, outlining the reasons I would not be sending any monetary contributions to the RNC nor to Sen. McCain’s campaign - nor would I be voting for anyone until the issue of illegal invasion was addressed. After outlining the fact the senator had promised he heard the American citizens about amnesty he was still actively pushing for it. That I wanted the 14th Amendment revisited and those that have invaded our country to be removed. Well, the response I received was so funny I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Sure, it was written by a staff person that drinks the Kool-Aid on a daily basis. They noted that Sen. McCain had voted to build the fence, had actively supported employer sanctions and he had supported border security. NOT ONE WORD about what he intends to do about the 12-30 million currently living here illegally, sucking the life out of this country and it’s resources….which was the only real question I asked!
I’m done. There has to be some accounting for promises broken.
None of which is true. There is an employer sanction bill currently stalled in Congress, the SAVE Act. Let’s see McCain campaign on getting it passsed if he’s serious about this. The fact is that he is opposed to employer sanctions except as bait to get people to support amnesty.
I keep getting requests from the RNC for $$$.
And I keep sending the d*mned things back with a message writ large in red magic marker: “I will NEVER support any candidate or any organization that supports scamnesty - the traitorous surrender of our country to the illegal alien invaders”.
And then I send it back in their prepaid envelope.
I am sending $$$ to those congressfolks who are foursquare opposed to any kind of scamnesty - - hope there are enough of them who are American enough (or scared enough about losing their cushy jobs on the hill).
And as for Juan McShame - I’d vote for Hillary over him - - and I have long loathed the woman. If it is B-Hussein who gets the nod, I’ll be voting third party. And Juan can join TubbyTeddy as far as I am concerned.
Do you really believe to vote DEM is to give up on the war on TERROR??? Well in the desert southwest in 15-20 years if you don’t speak Spanish, you won’t be able to do BUSINESS. MILITANT ISLAM is willing to wait 1000 years to defeat the INFIDEL. I believe ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION is the most important problem facing THE USA at this time… I have lived in AZ for over 30 years, and have seen the gradual take over a little at a time. Like the frog in the pot. If you turn the HEAT UP a little at a time, he don’t even know he’s being cooked… WELL PEOPLE YOU ARE BEING COOKED. You remember the reaction to YOUR FUSS about the SHAMNESTY BILL last year??? You have let the MSM and POLS talk you right out of it. You sent a message last year, and scared the HELL out of MSM and POLS with your unity and steadfast stance. Now you are letting them talk you out of a problem. It is your choice, either get out of the POT, or help gather wood for the FIRE!!!
flenser@159 - I know, and that is perhaps the most insulting part. Even if they’d said they planned to re-think or revisit some of these issues it would have gone down better. They tried their best to show him and his record as being strong. I suggest you all try it and see what kind of answer you get.
Are we suprized by this? Our opinions don’t really matter to these people. They are too clueless to care about what we think.
A fun read is “Trouble at the Border”, posted on the Loft, where some senators (including Menendez - dumba$$ from NJ), didn’t know that there was a travel warning for americans at the border. They claim that they REALLY did not know that the border was so dangerous. I guess that will mean that it’s too dangerous to build the fence and secure the border, so let’s forget the whole thing and grant citizenship for all mexicans.
Just what and who can we count on and trust?
I am looking forward to Ron Paul’s Convention Revolt. This is a man I had always dismissed as a loon. I’m not so sure anymore.
Whoo HOO!! Rush is talking about this now.
Hi Rush.
Michelle can u please ask FRED to register as an Independant. This seems to be our only hope.
I will join many conservatives in a Mc”Cain mutiny”.
I will not vote for a president who cares more about mexican invaders and employer traitors than American citizens who are the real “God’s children”
I will write in Jeff Sessions or Duncan Hunter or Tom Tancredo. they have no chance to win, but I will have a clear conscience that I did not join the RINO collusion in the destruction of American sovereignty
McCain just keeps proving why he is a rino and it makes me sick and very angry.
The other night the RNC called for money, why I don’t know I told them to stop called over a year ago. Maybe because I am still listed as a Republican. But this was so weird the person that called had no idead at all what a rino was, what it stood for….no idea. I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry. hahaahhaa
I told him off big time, told him how stupid he was and how he had better insert the word RINO in the next RNC handbook on ” meaning of ” for a lot of our Republican politicians including illegal lover, drilling in Anwar hater McCain.
That is precisely what I am going to do. Pollsters for McCain called me yesterday and I gave them quite the spitworthy earful.
Ressurect Tancredo ‘08 now!
