MANCHESTER, N.H., June 5 -- Sen. John McCain of Arizona found himself isolated Tuesday night as he staunchly defended controversial immigration legislation against a barrage of criticism from his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination, who argued that the bill is deeply flawed and should not be approved by Congress.

If I were an accountant, I would emulate the practices followed at Enron.
If I were testifying in court, I would try to testify like Scooter Libby.
If I were a Republican politician, I would try to adhere to George Bush's policies.

Because I'm insane.

McCain set himself apart on the immigration issue as a man alone, and in opposition to his parties base, seemingly his favorite position. No way he wins the nomination. I’m not sure why he is even wasting his time anymore.

‘No way he wins the nomination. I’m not sure why he is even wasting his time anymore.’

Ego.

“I’m not sure why he is even wasting his time anymore.”

The cameras are still there. Nothing he loves more than being in front of a camera.

Note to McCain: RETIRE! Thank you for your service now go home.

For every illegal alien that is allowed to stay in this country I want to send the politicians that made it possible to the alien's country in return.

Fair trade, a Senator for a lettuce picker.

He's a media darling just like the other "fron runners".

Sec'y of Defense.

[television is just wrong]

I asked his office that and they replied, “why not”.

I’m not sure why he is even wasting his time anymore Sec'y of Defense. Makes sense.

[Greg F]

I asked his office that and they replied, “why not”.

Yuck. So his staff should be fired as well.

[television is just wrong]

I also asked them if they had any clue how the public thought of McCain?

The were oblivious.

Cheers!

McCain clearly set himself apart last night. As Duncan Hunter said, McCain is a Ted Kennedy republican, as is Romney and Rudy (Pontius Pilate) Guiliani...

[ClaireSolt]

McCain was surprisingly impressive last night. But I remember some other night, too.

Seems as though McCain is running for office in Mexico, not the USA.

[RasterMaster]

McCain found himself off the reservation again....

[Greg F]

Yah, I’ve thought the same thing. McCain wants a whole new group of people to represent. He’ll gag American citizens with his campaign finance laws and naturalize new voters for himself.

Juan McCainez por El Presidente de las Estados Unidos!

[John Cena]

Duncan Hunter is a good man with real conservative values. He’d make a fine president. Unfortunantly, he hasn’t got a chance in hell of winning, which is why I won’t be voting for him in the primaries.
