McCain said he works for us not party but?

Question

when we all demanded border control he did not listen. Do you remember his soft stance on illegal immigrants?

Answer 1

Yes I do. The will of the people in this country is to protect our borders from terrorists primarily and illegal entry into our country from citizens of other countries looking for work. He is the senator of a border state and is well aware of these issues. He speaks tough but is in favor of amnesty although he calls it something else to hide the truth. People from all over the nation had been in a feverish letter writing and calling campaign to send the message to our local, state and federal representatives to deal with this issue. It was one of the top issues going into the presidential primary races and both candidates have skirted this important issue in favor of issues like race and sexism and patriotism. I have continued to press my representatives on this issue and listening to McCain say he gets it and he works for us makes me sick. This is not an endorsement for Obama but a response to your question only.

Answer 2

How can he when he voted with Bush 95% of the time?

McCain is just another Bush 3, simple as that.

Answer 3

Well, not everyone agrees with your position.

You might consider his stance soft.  I see it as pragmatic.

Answer 4

You're welcome to disagree with him, but you can also see it as an example of how he pushes for what he sees as right rather than what's popular. The concept behind our Republic is that our leaders not bow to the pressures of democracy, which our founders saw as a euphemism for mob rule. The two are closely related, but not the same.

Answer 5

How are the illegal narcotics and slave labor going to get into the country then?

Answer 6

Well, why would he want to make it harder for him and his buddies to get cheap labor? McCain and his fellow politician buddies are a bunch of fat cats just like him. If they can save millions a year to employ boarder jumpers, you can bet they will.
