McCain is bowing to the far right now, but he'll deliver comprehensive immigration reform as president. He may even deliver a future for his party.....his emergence as the nominee repudiated the harshest of his party's nativist voices. To win their confidence, he vows to address border security first. For how long? That depends on who puts McCain in the White House. If the right wing stays home and independent voters make McCain president, he can justify a push for reform. McCain won 68% of GOP Latinos in Arizona on Super Tuesday. If Latinos help put McCain in the White House, he'll have good reason to shove, not push, immigration reform through Congress.

None of the mccanics ever want to address the massive amount of spending that would happen with the passage of McCain/teddy, 60 million uneducated people.

Quote from story: “McCain won 68% of GOP Latinos in Arizona on Super Tuesday” Wow, just how many GOP Latinos are in AZ, few thousand maybe. That’s not a group to pander to.
I doubt that he will.
And even if he did, could we really trust him? The guy is 70+ years old. He's very set in his ways. I doubt there will be any epiphany.
Maybe it would be best if McCain lost in a landslide. Maybe then the sleazebags at the RNC would get a clue that the average Republican is a conservative and we're sick and tired of holding our noses and voting.
In the meantime, the tag says it for me.
I have been a Republican since the sixties. In the past I have lunged for that carrot on a stick called Supreme Court nominations and held my nose and voted for candidates whose policies I abhorred. No more! McCain Has turned the keys to our kingdom over to Mexico. I will continue to vote for conservatives within the party as long as they pledge to close the border, but never for McCain! We need a choice, not an echo. My presidential vote goes for some obscure third party candidate. I haven’t left the party, the party left me.
Hey, Thomas Jefferson, it’ll never happen. No one has the power to stand up to the United States. Any “revolution” (more like terrorist insurgency) won’t last a month. But if you’re ever stupid enough to try anything, please post it on FR so I can be sure to contact the appropriate authorities.
What makes you think another American revolution wouldn’t work? Maybe it would, maybe it wouldn’t. Millions of illiterate foreigners have already proven that our government’s a paper tiger by invading our nation with no consequences. And I’d say 45,000 dead Americans is as bad as any terrorist insurgency.
Not even a decent try Ms Valdez. Now go crawl back under your moss slimed rock. No one fell for it.
That has to be one of the most laughable statistics I've ever seen.
btt
Admirals’s ne’er-do-well son hits the big time.

Bttt!
I will be proven right yet again.
Get back under your blankie.
—”... but he’ll deliver comprehensive immigration reform as president.”—
Dream on. If Bush couldn’t do it, what on earth makes this clown think McCain can.
Just who would these independent voters be that are so numerous to overcome a disaffected base? Kind of reminds me of an Alex Karras line on MNF, he said the stands were full of fans disguised as empty seats. Those independent McCain voters look about as material as those Julie Annie pre-primary opinion polls voters.
Redefining that now, because how far is the "far" right when McCain is the standard-bearer?
As the only GOP candidate to remember that illegal immigrants are "God's children,"
And, those of us who are law abiding citizens are what? Satan's spawn? Infidels? Sugar daddies?
that you are delusional....
‘John McCain is bowing to the far right now, but he’ll deliver comprehensive immigration reform as president. He may even deliver a future for his party.’
All you McCainiacs (and their enablers) may like Juan McCain now that he is bowing to the far right, but how will you feel about him when he goes centrist? Considering the policies he embraces now, if he moves to the “center”, as Valdez is suggesting, I wonder how anyone can consider him a Republican, much less a conservative. Just typing the above sentences gives me an Alice in Wonderland feeling.
So he may deliver a future for his party. I don’t know. All I know is this new, improved party won’t be my party. To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, I didnt abandon the Republican Party, it abandoned me.
Will you be comfortable in this party? If not we should consider our future. I am a Paul supporter with a lot of respect for Hunter and other true conservatives. Any ideas out there?
Yeah---Fla voters "forgot" Julie-Annie was saving himself for them.
He campaigned there 61 days straight and finished a distant third.
The more Julie campaigned the more voters were repulsed by him.
