Did you know that McCain has also voted against more agents and assets on the border everytime? Forget the wal and the amnesty bill.
Did you also know that he has major funding from the owner of Univision? Or that he has advocates of Reconquista working in behalf of his campaign? To say he is any better than Hillery or Obama is like discussing whether its better to slice your wrist or just go straight for the jugular—you bleed out either way.
My brother is an ICE agent and resident of AZ (and very conservative). Mention being for McCain in his house and he’ll likely pistol-whip you. That is his level of disgust for the man. A disgust shared by the majority of his rank and file colleagues.
In the end, though, I will pull the lever for him. At least he might kill a few more of the jihadis before they get here. My brother will not even discuss voting for him. He’ll probably write Tancredo in again like he did in ‘04.
When it comes to the border, McCain is bought and paid for by Mexico.
In the end McCain will fart away scarce military resources on sideshows. There are hotspots coming up all over the world right now, very few of which are of any strategic importance to us. An examination of his record in government will reveal he has no real vision of how to fight terrorism, where even to lead the country nor how to prioritize. (The only pattern that does emerge is of a narcissitic, crotchety coot masquerading as a serious leader.) The advantage of having someone who's clearly a rookie is that everyone knows he is and no one's embracing false hope. With McCain RINO's and other pseudo-cons can continue to operate under the delusion that because he's got an R after his name, he knows the duties of the Commander-in-Chief.
