    McCain played 'Democrat' on election issues

    McCain played 'Democrat' on election issues


    An immigration activist says the Republican Party lost any real chance of retaining the White House the day John McCain won the GOP primary.


    William Gheen is president of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, or ALIPAC. Throughout the presidential campaign, Gheen ardently refused to support John McCain because of the Arizona senator's continued support to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.

    Gheen believes McCain was counting on GOP voters to march into the booths at the last minute, hold their noses, and elect him out of fear of Obama. He notes while many Republicans reluctantly made that choice, a significant group withheld their support or voted in opposition to McCain.

    "Republicans lost the White House the day John McCain won the primary, and no issue cost him more than his unpopular stance on immigration issues. John McCain is for amnesty; so is Barack Obama," he explains. "It was like we had two Democrats running on several of the issues, so the end result was that Republicans showed up less, many more voted [for a] third party, and a lot of them went ahead and voted for Obama since McCain was matching him on issues such as the bailout and illegal immigration."

    Many Republicans, according to Gheen, felt more betrayed by McCain's support for amnesty than Obama's because they would expect a Democrat to take that position.

    Good article. Sounds like a fair assessment to me.

    This hits the nail squarely on the head!!

    But of course you don't hear this assessment from the Mainstream Media. All you hear out of them is McAmnesty lost because Republicans "alienated Hispanic voters." So I guess all Hispanic voters favor illegal immigration then.

    Conservatives don't want to vote for Democrat Lite!!

    We actually had a decent candidate running on the Constitution party ticket. That's where my vote went. I believe that many more people would have supported Chuck Baldwin had he not been "blacked out" by the media. The same thing they did with Ron Paul after his popularity became a threat to the CFR candidates. I would have voted for a billy goat before I would have given Juan McAmnesty my vote. Not calling Mr. Baldwin a billy goat here. Just that the goat would have been preferable to me over Juan McAmnesty and I called the RNC and told them so.

    The news media raking millions upon millions from their controlled hispanic stations. The more hispanics flooding our borders, the more CNn and others can charge advertisers to reach those hispanics.

    It is all about money, greed, corruption and magots... In that pile, you will find the news media, and 80% of the US Congress.
