The return of McAmnesty the Democrat Suck-Up
Ugh.
Sorry to spoil your Monday morning, but John McCain is off to a cringe-inducing start this week. While Sarah Palin is galvanizing the conservative base and attracting tens of thousands to her rallies, John McCain is…
*Pandering to the open-borders lobby again. At a rally in Scranton this morning, he was bragging about the shamnesty bill again and revisiting the “path to citizenship” for illegal alien Irish, illegal alien Hispanics, and every last illegal border-crosser, visa-overstayer, deportation fugitive, and immigration enforcement evader in the country:
“We cannot have a continuing situation where there are 12 million people in this country illegally with broken borders,” McCain said. “We’ve also got to have a temporary worker program… It didn’t make me the most popular member of my own party, and it almost cost me the nomination of my party.”
“We have to give people a path to citizenship, a way that they can become citizens,” said McCain, adding the caveat that illegal immigrants cannot get in front of people seeking citizenship through legal challenges. “I’ve got a record of reform, of standing up against my own party, my own president when necessary. ”
McCain maintains that while he took a stand, his rival, Democratic Sen. Barack Obama, “took a hike” on the issue. (Obama has supported the immigration reforms.)
“Sen Obama has never once stood up against the leaders of his own party, never once,” McCain said. “There are 50,000 Irish men and women who are in this country illegally at this time… who want to become citizens… I want to assure you that I will enact comprehensive immigration reform…. I will do it for this nation, because this nation is all the stronger – this nation is stronger for the fresh infusion of vitality” of the immigrants, including Hispanic immigrants, who have “enriched our nation.”
And they cheered.
Yup. He’s in perfect sync with shamnesty buddy Geraldo Rivera, who was on the lecture circuit lobbying for the same goal and urging President Bush to “pardon” the upwards of 20 million illegal aliens in this country.
*And wait. That’s not all. McCain is also back to his reaching-across-the-aisle, Democrat-suck-up ways — promoting Andrew Cuomo as the man he’s install at the SEC.
Andrew Cuomo? One of the Clinton corruptocrats responsible for ushering in the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac debacle?
Quin Hilyer shakes his head:
Last night, John McCain said this on 60 Minutes about who should run the SEC:
(PELLEY ) I’m curious. If you wanna fire Chris Cox, the chairman of the SEC, who would you replace him with?
(MCCAIN) This may sound a little– unusual, but I’ve admired– Andrew Cuomo. I think he is somebody who could– restore some credibility, lend some bipartisanship– to this effort.
(PELLEY) He’s a Democrat.
(MCCAIN) Oh, yes.
(PELLEY) He served in the cabinet of President Clinton.
(MCCAIN) Yes. And he did a good job. And he has respect. And he has prestige.
A good job??? Cuomo??? Maybe McCain needs to read this.
Yes, this is the left-wing Village Voice on Andrew Cuomo:
Andrew Cuomo, the youngest Housing and Urban Development secretary in history, made a series of decisions between 1997 and 2001 that gave birth to the country’s current crisis. He took actions that—in combination with many other factors—helped plunge Fannie and Freddie into the subprime markets without putting in place the means to monitor their increasingly risky investments. He turned the Federal Housing Administration mortgage program into a sweetheart lender with sky-high loan ceilings and no money down, and he legalized what a federal judge has branded “kickbacks” to brokers that have fueled the sale of overpriced and unsupportable loans. Three to four million families are now facing foreclosure, and Cuomo is one of the reasons why.
Maybe McCain needs to lay low until Election Day and let Sarah do the talking.
If you are dreading the upcoming presidential debate, you are not the only one.

No worries.. it was spoiled as far back as Friday.
AGAIN there is ALREADY a path to citizenship. Go back to your home country, fill out the paperwork, and wait JUST LIKE I HAD TO.
One good thing. We the recession, we no longer have 12 million illegals.
See now I took the weekend off from all things political and come back to this crap. Between this and my republican representatives that what to give away all my hard earned money, I am about to unplug the computer again.
Sheeesh. Happy Monday.
He’s hard at work reminding all those people who will vote McCain-Palin.. why they didn’t want to vote for him before his VP selection.
Can someone please tell McCain that illegals can’t vote and those that are bused to the poll by ACORN are voting Obama no matter what he says or does?
Also tell him that legal immigrants, including Hispanics, resent the pandering being done to those that would break our laws.
If it wasn’t for Sarah, I wouldn’t even be voting for president this year. I will vote the down ticket and, because of Sarah, for POTUS. Hopefully, she will run in 2012 without the idiot she’s running with now.
This is the Kool-Aid that conservatives are in a fight against.
Monday morning, Jerry Rivers and MCAmnesty don’t go together. What happned to Juanito Hernandez?
You might as well put Spitzer in there. He’d do a better job. Just keep Spitzer far away from social issues… and hookers.
The depth of the ignorance of McCain and Obama and other shamnesty supporters is breath-taking. They simply do not understand the horrendous consequences of legalizing up to 20 million illegals. We are already up against the wall of limited resources, and these idiots want to exacerbate the problem??? Its time they learned the fundamentals of ecology, especially the part about population growth and competition for limited resources. Somebody save us from these fools.
Can’t spoil my Monday.
Obama is a bigger fish on the grill and must be stopped.
It’s Killin em and
I Love it!!!
McCain/Palin 08′
Image: aj feelin to good.
Every time I start to like him just a little bit, he goes and does something stupid again!
Like a cartoon I saw said:
McCain/Palin ‘08John McCain makes me sick!
He has regularly betrayed his country, his party, and his supporters and he has shown that he has not reformed from the despicable unprincipled piece of $hit that he is. Do you REALLY think he’s going to give us a good nominee to the Supreme Court? If you do, you are out of your f’n tree!
McCain, sir, you are an idiot. I am convinced you didn’t really want to win this election, you just thought running would be a cool thing to do before you retired. If, for some bizarre reason you actually win, do us all a favor and resign one hour after being inaugurated.
I say we give Gov Palin another promotion.
Is it too late to just nominate Palin to run for Pres and we can just scrap everyone else?
I’m not even sure that this election is about the LOTE. Its more on the order of A) We’re about to be screwed or B) We’re about to be screwed – but we just watched someone just put a Roofie in our drink and we are going to drink it anyway.
The Republicans are basically presenting themselves similar to the saying (and I am paraphrasing) “If your expectations weren’t so high, you wouldn’t be disappointed in me”
I think you’re half right. He doesn’t care if he wins the Presidency. He wanted to win the nomination to get revenge for 2000.
Exactly, thank you! Now someone needs to tell McCain this.
The nose-plug bruising to the nostrils on 11/4 is going to be horrible!
A few months back, McCain asserted that he had heard the American people regarding his amnesty plan. Keep in mind that he didn’t specify which American people he had heard. All that he heard was, “Si, se puede!!”
The good news in Kalifornia is that freeway traffic is much lighter since the housing construction market busted and unemployment has risen to nine percent in our area. A lot of the illegals have taken their money and gone home.
Now get the fence built before they come back!!
Here we go again….
It wouldn’t be Monday without MM trashing John McCain and all the commenters saying what an idiot he is and how they won’t vote for him and blah, blah, blah….
Same ol’ same ol’……it’s getting really old.
Amnesty almost cost McCain the nomination?
And he’s determined that it will cost him the election.
I will not vote for amnesty.
There are not 12 million illegal aliens, it’s more like 20-30 million. We were told less than 1 million in 1986, it turned out to be 3.6 million.
Importing voters for the socialists is a stupid as it gets.
RE: Mister P #3…
True, and…
Interestingly, at this very moment, powerful forces have worked behind the scenes – mostly in the Senate – to help
shove through a ‘one-time’ granting of 500k+ Green Cards. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) is mostly responsible for this.
He is holding hostage these ‘unused’ Green Cards’ to the re-authorization of the very important E-Verify program.
(or, in DC-speak, “you don’t get your E-Verify until I get my 500k+ Green Cards”).
Adding 500k workers into the US workforce at a time of escalating unemployment is, in the least, curious; in the worst, irresponsible, perhaps criminal. (Keep in mind also, that the ‘official’ estimates of ‘unemployment’ are historically slanted toward gross underestimation too…)
E-Verify has become very important in combating illegal employment (and, hence, a key magnet drawing illegal aliens into the country). Please make a call to help ensure re-authorization of E-Verify today if you can.

Everyone has had their say…is it time to vote yet?

One good thing. We the recession, we no longer have 12 million illegals.
Actually, the recession combined with recent enforcement probably drove the numbers from 18 million to 15 million. But guess what, they’re still all over my neighborhood in Virginia.
We the People of the United States of America have the right to have our borders and our laws respected and enforced.
Citizens of other countries illegally in our country have no right to demand anything from our government. They most certainly have the right to petition the governments of their home countries for change if they are unhappy with their home country. If they want to be Americans, we have a path to citizenship, more generous than any other nation, and it starts in their home country.
We need to insist on the equal protection, application and enforcement of the law or devolve into anarchy. Our Republic only functions if everyone follows the same rules. We should not change the laws to accomodate those breaking them.
If America annouces to the world “We can’t stop you, so come on in” with another amnesty, the deluge will be overwhelming. If 3,000 a day didn’t get your attention, then wait until it’s 10,000 a day. We cannot sustain this influx and survive as a nation. We must speak up and speak to each other about this and not let false claims of racism or bigotry be used to intimidate us into silent assent. America is not Congress’ to give away. America belongs to We the People. Speak to your neighbors, speak to your coworkers, but please speak up to your Congressmen and Senators. It’s O.K. for us to enforce our laws, no really, it is.
Someone please tell Sen. McCain.
Hey! – Naughty Girls Need Love Too
She was a victim.
( everyone else relax, it was a song from 20 years ago….
)
Has anybody noticed that the magic 12 million number has been the magic 12 million number for like, 3 years?
Oh wait, liberal + math = oil + water.
Keep sticking your finger in my eye, Juan. You really do want to make it hard for me to find my car keys on 11/4 don’t you?
McCain just doesn’t “get it” on any number of issues and levels.
I am a VERY CONSERVATIVE person but I won’t be voting for McCain because he is not a conservative and he doesn’t “get it” on so many issues.
McCain is a big-government, big-spending, open borders guy who will not govern conservatively because he isn’t “as conservative” as GW Bush.
Any belief to the contrary are simply baseless wishful because Obama is even worse. But the choice is not LOTE but rather “lesser-of-two-disasters” for the Republic.
I am not buying these lies from the GOP any more.
There can only be one:
Y’all recall the famous “you can’t do it my friends” speech?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWOZKeOauNI
Bank lines are shorter too. It’s a lot cheaper to live in Tijuana than San Diego if you’re unemployed.
Palin/Insane Old Man in ‘08
We can cross the Shamnesty bridge when we get to it. With McCain, there’s a slight hope he will listen to reason. With Obama and the Dems in control, it’s a slam dunk for them and granting amnesty to 12 million new Democrats.
I don’t think we should be caught fighting the wrong battle at the wrong time.
You could stop reading this blog if it offends you so. Just sayin’.
Okay, but last time I looked “Bush was a big-government, big-spending, open borders guy who would not govern conservatively.” So McCain wants to make Andrew Coumo the goto guy to deal with the mortgage disaster (just one example of many)? I bet Bush is slapping himself right now, saying “Why didn’t I think of that!?” And Obama is saying to his advisers, “Hey, that’s a great idea!”
As far as domestic policies are concerned, there are slight differences in degree but not in kind among these three clowns. Time for a reboot.
Here’s the kicker: I view McCain as providing a bridge to the next generation of Republicans. That’s all he’s good for but it may be enough. Palin, Jindal four years from now will be formidable candidates for whatever office they go after. 76 year old McCain running for a second term is not going to happen. Since we are stuck with Obama-McCain this year, why not make the most of the opportunity (that’s how I’m dealing with it)?
Four years hence, presuming we have a country, we will be glad we did.
My heart just sunk when I heard him doing this this morning. When he mentioned those illegal Irish immigrants I wanted to smack him. He was at an Irish American rally in Scranton and it’s all just waving some catnip in front of the masses.
My Irish great grandfather would be appalled. He came to the US legally through Ellis Island while many others never got the opportunity (they died on the voyage). He could not speak English (only spoke Gaelic) and all he had was a pair of care worn hands to offer up as his grattitude to being accepted as a US citizen.
What McCain is doing is undercutting all the efforts that immigrants of the past made to be accepted in America.
The one bright spot was that he clearly said that those here illegally would have to get in line behind those who followed the law and are here legally.
That having been said, none of this works without the faucet being shut off at the border.
Drip. Drip. Drip. Whoosh.
If McCain wants to keep this as an even race, he’ll shut his mouth on this topic. Sarah Palin can’t save him from himself. If he continues on this thinking he’s won his base with her, he’s wrong. As much as we like Sarah Palin, it won’t stop us from not voting for him. It will be a painful lesson, but somebody has to start listening to the people and by not electing them is the only way they’ll learn.
Not dreading it at all because it will be Palin/Jindal in 2012….that’s right McAmnesty we will be kicking you to the curb after one 4 year term…..you will be primaried….BANK ON IT!
I agree. One thing is true about voting for the lesser of two evils: the outcome still isn’t a good one. (Bush anyone? Though I must admit, after the Harriet Myers fiasco, I have to applaud him on his choices of Roberts and Alito.) Also, if McCain does win, then how many seats in Congress will the Republicans lose in 2010 and 2012 because of his inexorable failings? A McCain “victory” will only ensure a more liberal person winning in 2012, probably Obama.
My only consolation here is that the GOP may make some headway on Gov Palins skirttails.
The alternative is OB in Whitehouse and a deeply entrenched dem majority in both houses. A disaster that the U.S. could not recover from.
If Obama wins, disaster, if he loses, race riots.
Store food and water and reload more ammo, it’s gonna get ugly.
That is probably of every state.
While in the ER this summer… I was in line behind a Hispanic gentleman. The nurse asked him…
“Sir, are you sure this is your name? Because you were in here yesterday and you used a different name.”
I had never actually witnessed anything like that up to that point. I was pretty disgusted.
McCain would rather lose running as a liberal than win running as a conservative.
And so he shall.
“50,000 illegal Irish”………oh yeah and those pesky 20 million yes..20,000,000……two zero zero zero zero zero zero…..hispanics. John McCain is a d*^k!
I’m undecided as how to make the best of this “opportunity”. I’m leaning towards the idea that it would be better if Obama won.
We don’t have a country NOW, and that’s not going to change whichever traitor gets elected.
I’m Irish and damned proud of it, My grandfather came here legally. if 50,000 Irish people are here illegally, ship their sorry asses back to northern Ireland… where I suspect they came from. but whatever the case, ship’em back. can’t do it? the hell you can’t.
No, McMoron is far more dedicated to amnesty than Obama is. Bush never listened to reason on this topic. McCain never listened to reason. Why would he suddenly start now?
McCain needs to fire his advisors on this issue and go do town halls and ask the citizens of this country how they feel about the invasion that is destroying our country.
McCain had me with Palin, he will lose me on this one issue which affects every fabric of our country.
Who wants to bet that the debate on friday will not say a peep about the illegal invasion?
I don’t know what to believe. He “saw the light” during the last amnesty dust-up when he was running for his party’s nomination. Once elected, will he listen? Or will he do what HE thinks is the right thing (amnesty)?
With McCain wanting to give all illegals citizenship, Obama wanting to give everyone health insurance, and GOP wanting a trillion dollar bailout scheme, for whom should we vote? We can’t win no matter what.
Bring him on, and pay him with hookers.
Seriously, he is tough, smart, and could play hardball with the slicky boys on Wall Street.
It is pathetic that some kid like Andrew Cuomo was given a job like that. The practice of putting political hacks in hugely important positions needs to end.
Gov. Palin told Sean Hannity, “I’ll keep working on him [McCain],” (re: ANWR). She is the only reason I would even consider voting for the GOP ticket. Gov. Palin appears to be the good apple who might keep the whole GOP barrel from spoiling. She resigned in protest from one corrupt committee. I wonder if she would have the courage to resign the VP if she discovered her advice was being constantly ignored, or worse, not even sought out?
It is obvious that McCain doesn’t listen to anyone. He heard us on immigration last summer and he grudgingly stopped pushing it. But the fact that he heard us doesn’t mean he is listening to us. He will jam that immigration/amnesty stick deep into our eyes if he wins. He is committed to amnesty. He doesn’t care what we think.
How do we know that Sarah disagrees with him? She hasn’t said a single word about immigration yet.
How much did La Raza pay this fool? Amnesty is fiscal suicide.
I’m not sure I completely agree with the “kick em out” or else crowd on immigration, I am of the opinion that people wanting to come to our country is a good thing, the problem is that because they are coming illegally they are artificially keeping wages in certain sectors low I think. I think you need to secure the border and step up enforcement with employers, but I also think we need to make a way for these folks to get green cards if they will sign up and pay taxes. At least that’s my current thinking on the immigration issue.
However I would like to hear more about Andrew Cuomo and why he’s not a good pick for SEC chair. I’d like to know more about why you feel he’s a bad fit as other than what you just posted I don’t know much about this fellow.
I too am waiting to hear Sarah’s response to the illegal crisis.
No wonder our economy is shot to hell.
Keep letting the in and expect our economy to improve? I think not.
Guess that hasn’t dawned on Washington yet or they refuse to admit it has a connection.
I bet most of the bailouts on mortgages are to illegals who cannot pay or refuse to pay. Just my opinion…at least in this state.
Mookie, are you surprised as I am that Hannity didn’t even ask the question when he interviewed. Gov. Palin?
Andrew Cuomo and Fannie and Freddie
How the youngest Housing and Urban Development secretary in history gave birth to the mortgage crisis
link
That is a capital idea!
ROTFLMAO!!!! Looks good on paper but when the illegal invaders refuse to pay any fines or taxes, then what? They have already held protest (yes illegals holding protest) against McAmnesty’s plan because it called for a small (extremely small)fine and they didn’t want that.
Both front-tier candidates are bad on the issue – but, for somewhat different reasons.
Obama has stated publicly that illegal employment should be punished strongly. McCain has publicly stated a commitment to bolster border security, etc. IMHO, both would be philosophically aligned with the concept of an amnesty (and have admitted as much).
Of course, both positions leave the situation essentially unchanged. In order to end the illegal alien problem, illegal entry AND illegal employment must be dealt with substantively.
In the end, in order for whichever candidate to pursue his open or closeted Amnesty agenda, a NEW LAW must be passed. A NEW LAW will require the cooperation and action from the US Congress. Bottom line: with respect to the illegal alien problem, concentrate your efforts on your US Rep and US Senate elections. Call early and often about the issue.
In June 2007, during the consideration of ‘Comprehensive Immigration Reform’ (”McCain-Kennedy”, right?), the volume of phone calls into the US Senate was so large – unprecedented, really – that the phone system of Congress literally imploded.
It can be done. But YOU need to call and let your elected Congress critters know that amnesty was bad policy in the past and will be bad policy if repeated in the future.
A little bit. I wonder if the reason he didn’t ask is that he knows she agrees with McCain and therefore didn’t want to bring it up.
Maybe Katie Couric will ask.
This is what I like to see. Yes we can, enforce the laws.
One thing I keep hearing about the reason to vote for McCain is the judges.
I have seen nothing to indicate he really would give us conservative judges.
As I remember it, didn’t he “cross over” to defeat some of Bush’s appointees?
Palin would be the only reason I can vote for John, but I’m not aware that most Veeps have any real influence except possibly Cheyney who helps to ensure the Neocons are running the administration.
Egad. You people are so much in denial.
You think those of us holding our noses and voting for McCain don’t understand how bad McCain will be. You couldn’t be more wrong.
YOU are in denial about Obama. Obama will TERMINATE the American Experiment. You won’t GET another ‘chance.’
You clearly do not understand how Obama thinks. You simply cannot have known people who think the way he does. In his world view AMERICA is the Problem.
I think I’m more horrified by what I see so-called ‘conservatives’ saying about sitting out this election than I am by the imminence of a terrorist sympathizer becoming POTUS.
Are you all INSANE???
Absolutely. Remember, she didn’t seek it. She hasn’t been corrupted by the hunt for power. When she says she’s there to serve the people, she means it.
McCain is a Washington insider, and a CFR member. He has sold out to special interests that want cheap labor. Plus, it is the only way to get the third worlds poor on the computer so they can be controlled.
If senior citizen McCain passes away in office, at least Governor Palin will become POTUS.She seems to understand right, and wrong.
McCain was singing to the choir. The Scranton/Wilkes Barre area is filled with liberal democrats! I don’t know why the Republicans go there. Everytime I think I can vote for McCain without holding my nose, he goes and does something that just drives me crazy!
Either way, we’re screwed. While we’re at it, why not just have Soros run the Treasury?
Agree on Obama.
All the more reason to focus on the Congressional races. The Presidential election is a loser, so why not put all of our efforts towards the one branch of government that controls the purse, legislation, and judge appointment confirmations? If you want to stop amnesty, the “Fairness Doctrine”, increased taxes, more entitlements, bad energy policies, etc., then cut your losses and move on to the Congressional races.
“We cannot have a continuing situation where there are 12 million people in this country illegally with broken borders”
So repair and protect the borders, and get rid of the illegals, both actively and through attrition by enforcing existing federal laws, you idiot.
“We have to give people a path to citizenship, a way that they can become citizens,”
We already have a path and it’s been in place for years – just ask any legal immigrant, they’ll tell you all about it, you idiot.
McCain is such a friggin tool.
Fiscal suicide? …. Fiscal suicide?
Hate to tell you, but the CSI guys are already on-scene and are discussing among themselves about how hard it will be to hide the body under the rug- and if they can erase the 911 call.
I want to vote for Palin, I do not want to vote for McCain (or Obama, of course). This just sucks.
Ahh thanks for that link, I now have a greater understanding… ugh. Someone tell Cindy McCain to smack John and tell him to start running to the right, please!
If any of you out there go to a McCain rally and he starts spouting this nonsense, please “boo” him — loudly. Until he starts getting this regularly it’s not going to register.
I’m still going to put up McCain/Palin signs in my yard, but I’m certainly going to cover up Juan’s name.
If Senor McCain thinks it’s such a good idea to let millions upon millions of uneducated Hispanics in to cash in on American healthcare (such as it is) and other welfare goodies, he ought to read “33 Questions About American History You’re Not Supposed to Ask.” The author’s last name is Wood, I believe.
In it, he gives the Founding Fathers’ reasons for voting nada for immigration. It’s quite eloquent, and I could never do it justice here. In short, the Founders felt that unless there was a dire need for a certain type of craftsman, immigration was NOT a benefit to this country.
The Founders felt that they had come upon such a radical idea of freedom from govt and religion that “imports” wouldn’t understand it or be able to deal with it — and thus bring their home countries’ ideas with them and try to dilute this new American spirit.
And yes, I saw the closed caption this morning of McCain reciting the Ezra Pound verse on the statue of liberty — but these Hispanics aren’t coming here to join in the American Dream. They’re coming to annex the United States. I guess if you’re wealthy enough to live in a gated community, you just don’t get it.
Yeah, Admittedly this is a lot more difficult an issue than it sounds. I think we do need reform in immigration policies, but we need to secure those borders before we start tinkering with the INS. If what you say is true (my idea was to charge an application fee for those new worker cards), then that in essence leaves us no choice but to round up and deport. I don’t like that it comes to that, but I agree, that if they do not abide by the law then they have no business being here. Hey… Maybe we should start air dropping illegals into Cuba or something
Veretax, can I stuff the parachutes?
The simple fact that Senator McCain is still bringing this issue to the table ought to indicate that his policies if elected will be very similar to Senator Obama’s.
And Governor Palin, while a splendid bit of misdirection, fulfills the role of the magicians’s assistant. Palin is NO savior of the conservatives, fiscal or otherwise.
Have any of you seen anything to indicate that the laws on immigration will be enforced?…….
That’s what I thought…..
I just sent this e-mail to the McCain campaign. Thanks for the Cuomo material Michelle!
Don’t get me started…
I want to puke!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As much as I like Palin I am back to not VOTING for this sellout , lowlife traitorous scumbag!!!
I’ll stay home rather than vote for him….Not that there is much of a country left after the bailouts and sellouts of the people. I think the Prez and his buddies are raiding the treasury and cleaning OUT the house before they sink the nation!!
Yet another See I Told You So.
McCain is one of THEM, not one of US. Still, I think enough Americans will ignore this for him to win the election. Oblahma’s handing it to him on a silver platter.
If stupid crap like this keeps coming out of his mouth, though, it’s gonna be a game.

I don’t mind a Pathway to citizenship…as long as the Beginning of that path orginates in the Home Country of that individual.
Ya know?…..I’m so tired of this freak show in government that I wish no one would vote in this election. I wonder what would happen if fewer than ten percent of the electorate participated in this farce?
But I know that won’t happen.
At this point in time I believe I have two alternatives. Stay home, pop some popcorn and enjoy the circus. Or vote democratic, pop some popcorn, and enjoy the circus for the next four years.
ok…..rant/off….
I cannot wait. The Great Orator vs The Oreck Vacuum creator.
We need more “operation return to senders”.
So Obama was an unthinkable option for President until McCain started flogging his amnesty plan again, and now people will just shrug and let an Obama presidency happen? I am not getting the reasoning here.
With Hillary replacing Biden about to be the October Surprise, I don’t think McCain should be screwing with Conservatives.
Because of Sarah, he gets my vote. But if McCain continues this Amnesty crap, I will not vote for the ticket, period.
The thinking is simple, Flyover: I will not reward bad behavior with a vote. Even in a crucial election like this.
Look at the Democrats: they perpetuate criminal activity that results in a near meltdown of our economy, and NO ONE CALLS THEM ON IT!
The Republican Party needs to grows a pair and do their friggen job of denouncing and exposing the Dems for their actions.
As they don’t, the Media will cover up the Dems’ crimes and blame it on the Repubs.
If the Repubs aren’t going to FIGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY, why throw votes their way to make them feel any amount of support.
Tough love.
McCain loves to screw with conservatives. It’s what he does best. If he keeps this up, not even Sarah Palin will be able to help him.
We are headed to civil war. That much is clear.
I was never going to vote for McCain since 2006 when McCain/Kennedy first raised its ugly head. The GOP has had plenty of warning from the right that amnesty was not acceptable. The RNC wanted an amnesty candidate and got one. Now they will have to get him elected without my vote and lots of other people like me who will NOT endorse amnesty. If the GOP could not produce a candidate willing to uphold the oath of office and the laws of this country, they deserve to lose.
GOP=WHIG
The Republican Party under GWB seems intent on political suicide. Pandering to citizens of other countries illegally in our country while telling us we must be vigilantes if we object to illegal aliens ignoring our borders and laws. Mel Martinez is RNC Chairman to ensure an open borders candidate in ‘08. The cheap labor express will be kept running, regardless of the consequences, to party or country. GOP-RIP
I wrote that two years ago, just before the ‘06 mid-terms. They’re not listening to the citizens, their ears are full of money from the cheap labor express.
I think questioning your preferred party’s candidate is perfectly apt and healthy and shows that you’re not just a party tool. Always question, remain vigilant, stay skeptical. Be a…maverick?
But don’t stay home on Election Day. I’ve said this before, but if one wants to make some statement of rebellion, the empty voting booth is not the way to do it. Neither is voting for the inconceivable second choice.
Just keep reminding yourself, “Lesser of two evils, I’m voting for the lesser of two evils…”
