McCain: Immigration defeat "tough and bruising experience"

CHICAGO (AP) - Senator John McCain says yesterday's collapse of immigration reform in the Senate was a "tough and bruising experience."

During an appearance in Chicago today, the Republican presidential contender said he regrets that lawmakers weren't able to legalize unlawful immigrants and fortify the border. He says he's worried about maintaining the status quo for as many as 12 million undocumented immigrants.

McCain says lawmakers were close to a compromise, but then the support crumbled over a 48-hour period. He says the defeat killed the possibility of addressing the volatile issue before the 2008 elections.

The bill's Senate supporters fell 14 votes short of the 60 needed to limit debate and clear the way for final passage of the legislation. Among the GOP presidential contenders, only McCain voted to keep the measure alive.

Among the GOP presidential contenders, only McCain voted to keep the measure alive.

And that's why you won't receive the Republican nomination. You have cooked your goose and will never be president. Maybe you can rally the hispanic vote and get enough illegal aliens registered to vote to maintain your Arizona senate seat. But, god, I hope not.

Defective political merchandise. Send to the island of misfit toys.

Maybe McCain and Teddy boy can sing in Espanol to their illegal amigos in Vegas as their next job.

Teddy and McCain need to go to Mexico and run for Congress. Oh forgot, if you are not born in Mexico you are unable to hold a political office. Mexican rules are much stricter than US laws. Several of our senators, representatives, and Governors would be able to hold office if we had the same laws that mexico had.

If they get kicked out of the Senate, they can open up a clothing store and name it 'American Traitors'

They could re-sell all the rags and debris their illegal friends left along the way when they invaded the U.S. But first they need to go pick it up themselves. Plus having Teddy singing in Spanish is good for lots of laughs.
