McCain tries to out-amnesty Obama

As further proof John McCain, like Barack Obama, is pandering to special-interest groups – telling them what they want to hear – his campaign is running Spanish-language TV commercials in several Southwestern states attacking his opponent for not promoting last year's illegal amnesty legislation aggressively enough.

Here's the English-language translation of the 30-second commercial, "Which Side Are They On?"

Announcer: Obama and his congressional allies say they are on the side of immigrants. But are they?
The press reports that their efforts were "poison pills" that made immigration reform fail.

The result:

No guest worker program.

No path to citizenship.

No reform.

Is that being on our side?

Obama and his congressional allies ready to block immigration reform, but not ready to lead.

McCain: I'm John McCain and I approve this message.

Announcer: Paid for by McCain-Palin 2008 and the Republican National Committee. Approved by McCain-Palin 2008.
If John McCain approves of this message, why not shout it from the rooftops – in English? Why not run the commercial nationwide – in English? Why not deliver this message to all audiences – in English? Why not include this message in his major speeches – in English?

No secure borders.

You know the answer to those questions as well as I do.

He knows it would actually hurt his campaign rather than help it.

So he carefully scripts a message suggesting how he, not Obama, was the real "hero" behind last year's failed amnesty bill – and runs it in select markets in Spanish. He's actively courting the illegal alien vote.

Well, let it be known that anyone who courts an illegal vote does so at the expense of your legal vote.

I don't know about you, but I am sick of this kind of duplicity by politicians – Republicans and Democrats. I won't reward them for it. I will not give them my vote – no matter how scary is their opponent.

The dirty little secret of the 2008 campaign is that there is very little difference between McCain and Obama.

They both want to take America down the wrong road – on immigration, border security, taxes, judicial appointments, the sanctity of life, the Second Amendment, you name it. The only difference is one of them wants to move down that wrong road faster than the other. And, because of this, we're supposed to elect the guy who wants to proceed down the wrong road at a slightly less brisk pace.

I'm sorry. I can't be a part of that. I won't be a part of it.

We know where John McCain is headed. He has a track record established over many years. It is a bad record. For nearly a decade, he has distinguished himself as someone at war with the most basic and cherished values of American self-government – life, family, security, liberty.

Now he adds insult to injury by courting the votes of illegal immigrants.

McCain remains a big proponent of NAFTA, which was billed in 1993 as an international agreement to curtail illegal immigration into America. Did it do so? No, instead of improving the economy of Mexico, as proponents promised, it destroyed it – literally forcing 10 percent of the Mexican population to move north.

Did it improve the U.S. economy? Look around.

What NAFTA and similar open-border policies accomplished was to bring us less security, more crime, more traffic deaths, lower quality of life, fewer jobs for legal Americans, more illegal drugs and less national sovereignty.

Good deal?

Thank John McCain.

Reward him with your vote for president.

Lower your standards, once again, to vote for the man dubbed by the New Republic as "the most effective proponent of Democratic Party policies in the U.S. Senate."

Go ahead. Drink that Kool-Aid.

Just don't tell me you weren't warned.
