(Juan) McCain stakes out a harder line on illegal immigration (FLIP FLOPPIN' RINO BUM ALERT!)
The Dallas Morning News ^ | 2010-07-30 | Todd J. Gillman

Posted on 07/30/2010 6:41:07 PM PDT by rabscuttle385

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Sen. John McCain hasn't always talked tough on immigration. That haunted his presidential ambitions, and now his political survival hinges on whether he can show that his conversion is genuine.

It hasn't been easy. Boycotts, vigils and a legal fight over the state's attempted crackdown on illegal immigrants have kept voters attuned to each nuance in his run for re-election.

"Since 2007, I've said we have to secure the border first. I said it in 2008 and 2009 and 2010," McCain told 120 people at a town hall meeting in suburban Phoenix.

Leaning against the back wall at the recreation center, Roseanne Damato, 69, was fuming. Each time he mentioned immigration, she heckled under her breath or shook her head.

"We all know what a hero he was," she said quietly, adding that she wishes he'd won the White House two years ago. But now? "If he's for amnesty, I'm not going to vote for him."

He had already insisted that he rejects any sort of amnesty.

"He says he's not. But he's said that before," she said.

"I think the Democratic Party is a fine party, and I have
no problems with it, in their views and their philosophy."

U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, 02 APR. 2004

"I have to tell you, [Obama] is a decent person, a person that you
do not have to be scared [of] as president of the United States."

U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, 10 OCT. 2008

"In the long term, if you alienate the Hispanics,
you’ll pay a heavy price. By the way,
I think the fence is least effective.
But I’ll build the G****mned fence if they want it!"

U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, FEB. 2007

"We need to sit down as Americans
and recognize these are God’s children as well.
And they need some protection under the law;
they need some of our love and compassion."

U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, 28 NOV. 2007

"There are jobs that Americans will not do,
so we have to make it possible for someone to come
to this country to do a job that an American won’t do
and then go back to the country from where they came."

U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, 16 OCT. 2004

Both Juan and his lapdog Lindsay are taking “hard” lines on illegals today.

FUJM! FULG! FUBO!

Hey McCain, you’ve been representing Arizona in the House and then the Senate since 1983.

Why did you let it get so bad?

Does Juan have a full time staffer follow him around with a fire extinguisher to put out the fires always starting in his pants?

Go away, Mrs. Feingold.

We’ll find out if he’s right in November.

I told him to build a fence and drop Ted Kennedy," said Thomson, 52, holding a McCain yard sign. "His position now is in step with most of Arizona. ... He's a man of integrity, and when he tells you he'll do something, he'll do it."

If this character is in anyway a typical Arizona Republican voter, then we know how McCain is able to lie and hoodwink his way to a lead in the race. This is beyond pathetic.

That'd make a lethal campaign ad for J.D. - it puts the blame where it belongs.

Meanwhile Mitt has flip to amnesty. Stinking RINOs.

McCain has to be worried that people will not believe the bogus polls. Go JD.

I’m surprised McAmnesty hasn’t accused Sheriff Joe Arpaio for not being aggressive enough to enforce federal immigration laws.

It just goes to show how out of touch he is with the people of Arizona. He's been there all these years & what legislation about border protection & the illegal invasion has his name on it????

All this tough talk he's doing is making me wonder why he's acting like he just got elected & was not able to do anything about the illegal invasion taking place all these years. Worse yet - he's been encouraging it!!

He is either definitely FOR amnesty or just plain incompetent & should be thrown out of office.

Sherriff Joe just endorsed JD, McCain is probably reliable against amnesty until August 24th. Then win or lose he’ll be for it again.

We have a betting pool going on when McLame will flip-flop on amnesty. The smart money is 5 minutes after he wins the nomination but a significant minority think he might wait until the day after the election in November.

How long did it take Scott Brown of Mass to show he is a RINO? He did it on his very first vote in the Senate.

I think so, too. It could cover a lot of issues and it suits JD's style.

This is where McCain’s been for decades:

1988: Honored by La Raza for opposing official English

McCain attacked Proposition 106, a [AZ] statewide referendum that was being advanced by the so-called English-only movement. McCain told the teachers, “Why would we want to pass some kind of initiative that a significant portion of our population considers an assault on their heritage?”

Because of his position on the English-only initiative and his willingness to fight for a pluralistic American culture, McCain was one of 10 members of congress who were honored by the National Council of La Raza, a nationwide coalition of Hispanic organizations. In a speech at a ceremony in Washington, before an audience of 500, McCain again attacked English-only initiatives.

“The building of our great nation is not the work of immigrants from one or two countries, McCain said, ”Our nation and the English language have done quite well with Chinese spoken in California, German in Pennsylvania, Italian in New York, Swedish in Minnesota, and Spanish throughout the Southwest. I fail to see the cause for alarm now.“

That lying sack o' RINO-sh*t could no more tell the truth than the father of liars himself. He always reserves his worst venom for CONSERVATIVES, and kisses the ass of his 'Rat 'friends' across the aisle, giving them reach-arounds 24/7.

He is a pox and a plague on our Nation,
the time is long past for him to go.

If he loses the primary, he flips to pro amnesty the day after the primary and then sides with the Democrats to push an amnesty bill through during the lame duck session. He will be applauded by the media for being a great statesman. As soon as his term ends in January, he disappears into obscurity.

If he wins the primary and the general election, he flips to pro amnesty the day after the general election. He then sides with Obama and the Democrats to pass amnesty during the lame duck session. He is applauded by the media as a great statesman. By redeeming himself in the eyes of the leftist media establishment he resumes his position as the reliable “moderate” Republican on the mainstream media Sunday talk show circuit where he can be counted on to bash every conservative position and seek the middle ground.

And don't forget that McStain will do everything in his power to throw the general election to J.D. Hayworth's 'Rat opponent. The scumbag would rather see his Senate seat end up in the hands of the 'Rats, than to see a real American conservative win it.

But that should come as no surprise to anybody, since Juan has effectively been serving as the 'Rat Senator from Arizona for years now. Only a fool would support Traitor McCain.
