Yesterday, John McCain re-introduced the word "comprehensive" back into his position on illegal immigration.
After spending months telling conservatives that he had "heard" them on illegal immigration, what lesson did John McCain really learn? In his own words:
"The lesson I learned from it is we've got to have comprehensive immigration reform." --John McCain, 5/5/08
Of course, those are code words for "amnesty." McCain made the statement during his day-long push to cater to the Latino vote. McCain also:
--said we need to treat illegals in a "humane and compassionate fashion" (more codespeak for "amnesty is coming")
--stated that the "tenor of the debate" on immigration has "harmed our image" (i.e. grassroots conservatives like you and me are the bad guys, not the illegal aliens)
--announced that he will be speaking at the La Raza annual meeting in July
Go here for my full analysis, as well as an excerpt from last night’s Lou Dobbs show:
+ + Action Item: Call McCain and tell him you object Clearly, McCain is testing the waters by using "comprehensive" in his campaign address. Unless McCain gets feedback from citizens across the nation objecting to his clear move back to his original amnesty position, we can expect to hear more amnesty talk from the G.O.P. standard-bearer in the coming months.
Action: Call McCain and let him know you object to his re-introduction of a "comprehensive" (amnesty) into his campaign position on immigration.

P.S. We are building toward a major petition delivery to Congress demanding that the Secure Fence Act is reinstated. Right now, we need you to fax your representatives in Congress and demand the originally planned border fence be built. Please go here to fax your members of Congress today
Hey, I don't know who the Libertarian party candidate will be or the Constitutional-(Baldwin??) will be, and Ron Pau; will still fight at the GOP convention. I will vote for anyone (almost) except the three globalist, amnesty candidates.
Each day, each week when I read what is happening in our country, I keep expecting to read an account of violence brought about by our feckless politicians failing to care about us and what we want.
It is going to happen. They (Employers and politicians) cannot keep taking jobs and futures away from out youth without some kind of resistance. I believe the same thing is happening in Europe and violence id getting closer there. This could be avoided if politicians simply listebned tio the will of the people. What has happened?? Have they all (most) gone corrupt?? I do not have a clue. I am sad. As I enter the last few years of my life, I see my beloved country being sold out by those in whom we put our trust and our government.
misterbill, We must all decide to vote for the same third party candidate or it will split the vote too much. We have time for each and every one of us to research the third party candidates. But then there must be a coming together for us. There are those who will still vote for McCain because they think he is better than the other two and they think that they can influence him once he is elected. Well let tell you that McCain is not influenced by anyone but those who are going to help him benefit in some way. All he cares about is himself. I'm just surprised that he admitted he is still in favor of amnesty. Well not amnesty to him but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it is indeed a duck. And comprehensive immigration reform is amnesty.
I just called McCain's office to voice my displeasure with his renewal of comprehensive immigration reform.
Chuck Baldwin (Constitution Party) or Ron Paul if he is still on the ballot are looking better and better to me. Baldwin has a website under construction and you can get some background on him on the Constitution Party site.
I am starting to think an unknown might be better than the three peas in a pod!
