I did wonder if Obama beefing up the border was prelude to this. Plenty of conservatives have said that IF we really secured the border, we could then talk about amnesty. I doubt we’ve really secured the border, but Obama will likely talk that talk

You hit a nerve!

Is Southwestern Ohio the only area of the country where young Hispanic men shack up with fat young white girls and have anchor babies?

It’s at epidemic proportions here! I’m ready to outlaw fat young white girls just to reduce the number of anchor babies

I remember seeing such mating rituals in college. Instead of Hispanics it was Arabs.

Nope.

One state to your west the problem is rampant. Kind of sad to watch it cause you just know the kid hasn’t got a chance.

Meghan McCain won't like that...

This also seriously needs to be just as equally true about ALL RINOS and ALL “ELITIST, PRO-AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS” REPUBLICANS at each and every political level! They seriously can be even more damaging than the Democrats on many issues, because they join the Democrats on many issues and make the conservative coalition on many issues even weaker!

McCain might surprise us on this. He repudiated amnesty during campaign.

Maybe we should get Megn’s position. Her dad's maid and nanny are probably illegal, like pets to her.

McCain is screwed, either way. If he votes yes, then conservatives attack; if he votes no, then conservatives attack, saying that he voted for it before he voted against it.

The only way for him to save himself is to vote present.

That would please everyone except McCain himself. And, as we should all be aware of by now, McCain is for McCain.

RE “McCain is screwed, either way. If he votes yes, then conservatives attack; if he votes no, then conservatives attack, saying that he voted for it before he voted against it, as he campaigned.

I would modify what you said a bit. If he votes against amnesty the dems will call him a racist and then he is threatened re-election by BOTH mexicans and conservatives. I doubt most conservatives would attack him for voting against democrats.

His general trend now has been to oppose democrats, but we dont know how far he will go with this, or what his motivation is(it could be the Spector motivation) .

To supporters of comprehensive reform, moving a bill in 2009 is not just preferable, but a political necessity. “That’s not what you do in an election year,” Flake said. “You’ve got to do it in an off-year.”

Elephants have long memories and are not fooled by your RINOish behavior, Señor Flake.

Yeah, that "Country First" mantra was impossible to swallow.

McCain is twittering away about drug cartels this morning.

I sent him a tweet — wondering if drug cartels qualify as “God’s Children” worthy of amnesty.

;-)

How about we head to Mexico? There will be a whole country down there with no one in it.

“Moving broad legislation that would put millions of illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship...”

Is something that I wish them the best of luck in doing. Hopefully over the loud and strenuous objections of the American people. Just as we are going into the midterm elections.

Might just give the pubbies the impetus required to rise off of their collective knees and FIGHT!

We just have to remember NEVER try to work with them again.

We won't, unfortunately our Rino Reps in the House and Senate will.
