If we don’t win the war we are in, nothing else matters.
I take issue with that. IMO the situation along our borders is as viable a concern as winning the war overseas. The same may be said for the security of our ports whether air or marine. Unless we can insure we are relatively free from internal attack we expose ourselves to further "911's" or even worse.
And this is only part of this issue. Immigrants entering illegally have forced a great burden on our laws, our states and our nation. Not only is their (supposed) contribution marginalized by their criminality, but their contempt for our culture and heritage disrespects everything we have achieved. And that is intentional! They want to reclaim the land lost through the Gadsden Purchase and elsewhere. And I haven't even mentioned the racist issues at play.
So, yes, winning the war is a given. It MUST be done. But securing our borders is also equally necessary. The two go hand-in-hand. And for the person who will receive the GOP nomination for President to seek amnesty and inclusiveness for these invaders is unconscionable. He may "get" the war, but he is out of touch on our second most important security issue. And I cannot and will not accept that.
John McCain is Democrat light. He is a multiculturalist who is happy to use this issue to garners votes. He continues to ignore his conservative base while wooing Democrats whether moderates or leftists. And the GOP is actively supporting his nomination. John McCain and the GOP have left me and all other true conservatives in the lurch. They have no intention of giving us a reason to vote FOR McCain. And without a reason I see no need to.
If John McCain loses the popular vote, and I'm one who doesn't vote for him, is it my fault as many of you McCain supporters suggest? No. The responsibility is with him. He loses because he has not convinced sufficient people to vote for him. Period. That's where the responsibility rests; nowhere else.
And don't even get me started on Global Warming...
I spent time on FR doing battle with the either open border or what is the problem people.
Duncan Hunter who spent over 27 yrs in congress and the main person to lead on the border problems along with his
leadership on the Armed Services committee and his major conservative background was my candidate.
A large per cent on FR either wanted those with no serious experience but a Gov. or Sen. or the Third Party anti war WackOs. All did battle and bashed Duncan Hunter.
Well, we got what we got. Don’t agree with McCain on many issues but the war is number one.
He has a clue that he can’t have his way as originally pushed on his version of the border issues. Still much I disagree with him on this.
McCain and his wife own two condos in San Diego overlooking the Ocean to the south bay area and Mexico.
If Pres. and spending time here, he will get an ear full.
Like it or not, it is McCain or the anti American Marxist Obama.
Many on FR didn’t want the experienced & Conservative Duncan Hunter. They thought they were cute bashing him.
