McCain Back to Comprehensive Immigration Reform, Losing More Conservative Support Daily

We have covered the illegal immigration topic extensively, and have come to the conclusion that our open border policy results in the trafficking of children for sexual purposes, the unnecessary deaths of Mexicans and other aliens in the desert and unnecessary deaths of American on the streets.

One of the many things that have been jaw-droppingly outrageous was the attempt by John McCain and Ted Kennedy to pass “comprehensive immigration reform.” The American people spoke very loudly on that issue, demanding security first, then we can deal with the illegals in the country. It was loud enough that even McCain could hear it on the Democrat side of the aisle. Or so he said:

“I will secure the borders, I will secure the borders first.”

Fast forward to yesterday’s New York Times:

“Senator Kennedy and I tried very hard to get immigration reform, a comprehensive plan, through the Congress of the United States,” he said. “It is a federal responsibility and because of our failure as a federal obligation, we’re seeing all these various conflicts and problems throughout our nation as different towns, cities, counties, whatever they are, implement different policies and different programs which makes things even worse and even more confusing.”

He added: “I believe we have to secure our borders, and I think most Americans agree with that, because it’s a matter of national security. But we must enact comprehensive immigration reform. We must make it a top agenda item if we don’t do it before, and we probably won’t, a little straight talk, as of January 2009.”

Mr. McCain asked others on the panels for suggestions about how to “better mobilize American public opinion” behind the notion of comprehensive immigration reform.

His attachment to this movement is enough to push away even those who swallowed hard and supported his candidacy, even when they didn’t care for him. People like John Hawkins at Right Wing News:

John McCain is a liar. He’s a man without honor, without integrity, who could not have captured the Republican nomination had he run on making comprehensive immigration a top priority of his administration. Quite frankly, this is little different from George Bush, Sr. breaking his “Read my lips, no new taxes pledge,” except that Bush’s father was at least smart enough to wait until he got elected before letting all of his supporters know that he was lying to them.

Under these circumstances, I simply cannot continue to support a man like John McCain for the presidency. Since that is the case, I have already written the campaign and asked them to take me off of their mailing list and to no longer send me invitations to their teleconferences. I see no point in asking questions to a man who has no compunction about lying through his teeth on one of the most crucial election issues and then changing his position the first time he believes he can get away with it.

Moreover, I genuinely regret having to do this because I do still believe the country would be better off with John McCain as President as opposed to Obama or Clinton. However, I just cannot in good conscience cast a vote for a man who has told this big of a lie, for this long, about this important of an issue.

Welcome to the club, John. We’re expecting more, so grab a chair and let’s try to figure out what to do. I personally think a sandwich is a good start, but I usually do. After we eat, then maybe we can start lobbying for Tancredo as Veep.
