Thread: McCain called a traitor on his own Presidential Website

I didn't see where anyone had posted this topic. If it is a repeat topic I apologize.

Someone wrote a blog on McCain's Presidential website about the Amnesty bill and his support of it. Now McCain's site is getting quite a few negative comments from irate citizens. Over 200 negative comments with only 4 or 5 in support. The posters are calling him a Benedict Arnold and a sell out and telling him he won't get their vote.

Here is the webpage of that blog. I don't know how long those comments will remain.

I posted wishing him a happy retirement!

Immigration Reform

John McCain said the following today at a press conference on the new agreement in the Senate on immigration reform and border security:

The American people expect us to work in a bipartisan fashion to resolve compelling issues that affect our nation.

This is the first step, an important step, in moving forward with comprehensive overall immigration reform. Not only will this legislation finally accomplish the extraordinary goal of securing our borders, but it will also enhance interior enforcement and will put employers on notice that the practice of hiring illegal workers will no longer be tolerated. Before we can look at any program to deal with the undocumented workers currently in the U.S., or future workers wishing to enter, we must meet certain enforcement and security triggers that will let everyone know that we are serious about enforcing our laws and we’re not going to repeat the 1986 amnesty.

Senator Isakson, long ago, had a proposal that we had to take certain steps in order to make sure the American people know that our border enforcement is as complete as much as possible before we move forward with other issues...This is the first step. We can and must complete this legislation sooner rather than later. We all know that this issue can be caught up in extracurricular politics unless we move forward as quickly as possible.

This is a product of a long, hard trail of negotiation and I'm sure that there are certain provisions that each of us would not agree with. This is what the legislative process is all about; this is what bipartisanship is about, when there’s a requirement for this nation and its security that transcends party lines. I'm proud to have been a small part of it.

Our nation has been betrayed. We have no nation.

You are right! The "bipartisan" answer to illegal immigration being proposed and touted as NOT AMNESTY is JUST THAT! How would the justice system treat citizens of this country that used false or stolen identification to work in this country? How about failing to file income tax returns (known as TAX EVASION)? I know, do you? We would be prosecuted, incarcerated, and our property would be seized by the IRS. But, the illegals only have to pay a fine and "touch back" to gain a path to citizenship? PLEASE, just how stupid do you people in Washington think We The People are? If these people are NOT held accountable to the same laws we MUST obey...it IS AMNESTY!

It is a sad day in America. Shame on you Senator McCain for supporting this bill. You have lost a once strong supporter. I cannot vote for someone who supports making illegal aliens permanent legal residents in this country. Amnesty is not the answer.

When recently asked who I thought won the first two Republican debates; I answered Fred Thompson and Newt Gingrich. They’re the only two candidates conservative enough to not be in this stupid race yet... They’re not late, the other eager beavers are early! They’re the only two not joining the chorus of ten, eager to demonstrate their lack of conservative credentials in a futile attempt to attract both conservative and liberal voters. As a result, they’re also the only candidates not losing supporters in the debates. Like “patriotâ€

Maybe someone should copy their posts...so that when they remove them...we still have them!

Yeah . . . I'm not hearing President McCain anywhere in the near future . . .

This was my comment on his site.

John McCain you have betrayed this nation. You have shown that you care more for illegal alien lawbreakers than you do for the voting citizens of this country.

You and anyone else supporting this amnesty bill have seriously misread the will and the anger of the American people on this matter.

We already have existing immigration laws. Those laws should have been enforced and employers of illegals should be arrested and held accountable. If you arrest a few in every city word will get around to the other employers and they will stop hiring illegals. When the jobs dry up most illegals will self deport.

Our goverment has failed in its duty to defend the sanctity of this country's borders and protect its citizens from the invading illegal aliens.

I will never support you for anything again. You will never get my vote. You have sold out your voting constituents in your state. They should start proceedings to remove you from office immediately.

Tom Tancredo has a history of voting against any measures that allow illegals to stay in this country and will not give them any additional rights. He is who I'm backing for President.

Awesome comment.

Wow - when I read those comments all I could think is I love Americans

That can't help but to put a smile on the face of every American citizen!

Down the drain with McCain

There are now 216 comments on that particular blog.

There are two other blogs on his site that were written after that blog. You can see them by clicking on "Blogs". Those blogs are not even about the bill and while they have only a few comments, all the comments on those blogs are negative too because of his support of the bill.
