“Latino Immigrants” = “Illegal Aliens” right?

I know the kind of judges McCain would appoint vs. Obama.

Empty rhetoric. The only ones that are likely to leave in the next four years are all liberals anyway.

trying very hard to think of some reason to support mclame, i’ve not had much luck, even if i decide to cast a vote, i cant imagine why i’ll send crusty any money. i figure i’ll let his liberal friends and the MSM support him same as they always have, surely they’ll come thru for maverick.

mccain cannot win the presidency but obama can lose it.

he appears to be following the same loser path the witch was casting spells for, (one hell of a strategy, left hoping the other guy drops dead or screws up so bad as to take himself out)

Not necessarily. Some immigrants are legal.

No he didn’t. He and the others were pre-selected without our true vote.

“The only ones that are likely to leave in the next four years are all liberals anyway.”

Are some kind of truthsayer or something? How do you know that? That’s the kind of stuff I believe only God would know.

As a former CA voter that happens every national election. What’s your point?

Remember where your crusade started on this thread. Something about "fair and square"? The late primaries were stacked and the RNC threw its money behind McCain. Is that fair and square?

“He and the others were pre-selected without our true vote.”

You don’t have an option to write in a name on your ballot?

I shrugged it off when McCain called me nasty names when he was trying to ram amnesty down are throats but now it has become clear, he is my enemy.

Two points to remember:

The 2006 “Z-Visa” was to be given to 12 to 20 million illegals with (a) no home country background checks of any kind whatsoever, (b) no authenticated proof of identity, (c) no proof of alleged home country, (d) no medical checks of any kind, (e) no financial assets checks of any kind. Legal immigrants must go to great pains to meet all five of those preceding requirements, and without them any criminal (even Canadian or AMERICAN!) can assert an illegal presence and obtain a Z-Visa under a new fictitious name.

Point two: the presence of illegal alien labor is easily demonstrated to have caused a 40 to 60 percent reduction in unskilled labor pay since the 1970’s (i.e., it is easily proved that unskilled construction laborers would be paid $22 to $28 per hour were it not for the competition from illegal aliens).

Hey McCain this won’t work. The Open Borders Crowd will not vote for you in large numbers. Stop pandering and secure the borders now.

Please cite a source where McCain received RNC money in the primaries.

Write in? Sure. But. The RNC (the "republican party") decided that McCain was the guy. And, of course, like the majority of the American electorate, the sheep in the Republican party followed the edict.

McCain is a losing proposition as far as conservatism goes. He will finish off the destruction of the GOP started by Bush.

Every hispanic I talked to at work is all for legalizing those illegals where I worked.

A near majority of CA hispanics voted in favor of Prop 187, a cut-off of non essential services to illegal immigrants, as recently as 1994. That changed after the LA Times, DNC, etc hammered home their "oppose illegal immigration = hate hispanics" line. Now the topic cannot even be discussed in polite company.

Racial identity politics is poison, and its beyond depressing to watch my(former) party engaging in them.

Yes. Assuming he can figure out what “original intent” means, he MIGHT attempt to appoint ONE originalist judge. When Democrat Senate shoots him down, he’ll say “Well, I tried.” and appoint a bunch of Souter clones.

Of course, Obama will be appointing Ginsberg clones from the start...
