Don’t lie John. They have you on tape saying that you support amnesty.
Heard it on Rush.
With our guv here in MN suddenly renewing interest in crimaliens here, I have to think he’s full of crap when he comes out backing McCain.
(I like what T-Paw is saying,I just doubt he’ll really do anything.)
Was he actively supporting it, or supporting it while dreaming?
I have been an interested observer watching how we are savaging every Republican candidate on FR. “Mc Cain is for Amnesty”; “Huckabee is a sociolist”; “Rudy is a Liberal”; “Romney is a flip flopper (Which he is). If you eliminate all of them, that leaves Fred who seems to be going out of his way to not win (He is now is S. Carolina where he might finish 3rd if he is lucky). So if you toss them all out, that leaves us with the nut Paul and Duncan Hunter who is great, but doesn’t stand a chance. So guys where do we go from here? Do we all suck our thumbs and let Barack Hussein Obama become the next President? I think we need to quit eating our own and concentrate of exorcising the real devil (Obama).
Isn’t it interesting that in the world of politics you can support any damn thing one day and if you get smacked in the head by the voters change your mind the next day?
He is too old ... 72 is just not a ripe old age, it allows you to conveniently forget where you were and what you said. AMNESTY man will never succeed.
“I think we can set up a program where amnesty is extended to a certain number of people who are eligible … Amnesty has to be an important part ...”
This is the primaries, not the general election. It’s time for us to concentrate on our own party nominee, not guess who we might be facing in the general. As such, comparing positions, values and beliefs is wholly appropriate.
If we pick a good one, the general is a whole different fight.

I agree that we need to be careful about eating our own. However, I draw the line with McCain. I will not support or vote for him. He is not a Republican much less a conservative. I prefer Thompson but I will support Romney, Guilliani, and Huckabee. I think that we will be better in the long run with a rat rather than McCain. The conservative movement can regroup and find a future standard bearer. The rats will do tremendous damage in the mean time but McCain will simply destroy the conservative part of the Republican party.
I respectfully disagree. The primary season is about pointing out the differences between the party candidates. Just as you believe it is a fact “Romney is a flip flopper” (and I don’t disagree) to me it is a fact McCain is for amnesty. And that is a major negative point against him. Where do we go from here? I don’t know either.
This has been more than pointing out differences. It seems to me that the last Republican standing (whoever that may be) will not be fully acceptable to an awful lot of conservatives. He may have social issue flaws, economic flaws, or flaws in his record. All of them however seem to be strong on the War on Terror. That alone will make me hold my nose and vote for whoever it is over Obama. I hope everyone else on FR feels the same.
Oh he will say anything to get elected...hes a liar!!! what part of mccain/kennedy doesn’t he understand???
I’m with you, brother.
The Republican Party elites are going to live in darkness for 40-years for the insult of trying to run Rudy Giuliani on us.
It’s a stain that cannot be forgot and a sure measure of their misdirection. It’s up to the elites to wake up and find a way to repair the damage.
Why McCainiac is so far up in the polls is behond me. Maybe it’s because the people in the far northeast states haven’t hasd enough illegals to depress the wages of citizens and commit murders that ordinary citizens are not willing to commit.
Yep. But, what other choice do we have?
