Thread: McCain Is the Amnesty Candidate

McCain Is the Amnesty Candidate

It’s amazing how soon people forgot that John McCain is as bad as Teddy Kennedy on immigration.

Sen. McCain took 37 percent of the New Hampshire Republican primary votes Tuesday, winning that state's contest. Mitt Romney finished six points back, at 31 percent, in second place. McCain had shown poorly in Iowa. He tied for third place with Fred Thompson, each with just 13 percent. Romney finished second in Iowa, with 25 percent, while Mike Huckabee won 34 percent.

Take a quick trip down memory lane. Less than a year ago, Sen. McCain was one of the leaders crafting a “comprehensiveâ€

[quote]By contrast, Fred Thompson flat-out promises to veto any amnesty bill. At the YouTube debate, he said, “Yes. I will pledge that.â€

And McCain STILL hasn't changed his pro-amnesty position.

If we don't rally behind a viable anti-amnesty candidate now such as Romney, we will likely be stuck with a pro-amnesty zealot Dem or amesty loving McCain, Giuliani or Huckabee. This is the reality.

McLame’s Immigration Insanity

McLame and LIEberman were on a recent PR campaign together in NH and lying through their teeth on McLame's immigration record. At a recent town hall meeting, McLame speaks for a while uttering his gibberish about illegal immigration and the illegal's are god's children (he obviously believes that they are a special type of god’s children and deserve some kind of extra compassion), etc. LIEberman takes the mike and says..."To say John McCain ever supported amnesty for illegal immigrants is a lie..." This is extremely disturbing that both of these Senators would try to deceive and directly lie to people for the express purpose of garnering votes. You can view this for yourself in this video:

McLame is trying to run from his actions and record. He is intentionally distorting (I call it lying) the irrefutable fact that he was a supporter of amnesty by claiming he was never for amnesty. He was a main architect, contributor and proponent of the Comphrensive Immigration Reform bills (s. 1348 and s. 1639) of 2007 that were written in order to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. McLame was so deep into the content and language of these bills that they were often referred to as the Kennedy-McCain Immigration Reform bills.

McLame has consistently supported amnesty for illegal aliens since at least 2003 as reported by hotair.com from a Tuscon Citizen article…“McCain Pushes Amnesty, Guest-Worker Program,â€

Thanks zeezil. Good post.

I think your assessment is right on the money, Populist.

And McClown also adopted a deformed baby from Bangladesh. Why didn't he adopt an American baby instead? Why is he more compassionate about Third World foreigners rather than Americans? We need a President who cares about Americans First!

Amen to that! Why's he so worried about being fair to illegals? What about being fair to American Citizens who the illegals are harming?

McCain also would have the governors certify when the borders are secure. WHAT??? Seems to me Richardson and Napolitano would certify them secure right now. sheesh

Right, which is why that's part of his plan. He knows that's what would happen. So when he says he'd secure the border, he means it'll be secured because it was certified by the governors of those border states that it was secure. It's just a con job. The border will be open, he'll get his bogus "certification" that the borders are secure and then he'll move on to granting amnest to the 20 million illegals.
