Romney lost my vote over this.
He lied about the content of his ads and when called on it, accused McCain of getting personal. Well, if he approved those ads, he lied. And if he did not, then he is out of control of his campaign.

January 7th, 2008 at 5:44 amMcCain supports amnesty . . . he is spinning. Romney is correct in pointing it out.
January 7th, 2008 at 6:07 amWho better than Tancredo to point out John McCain’s switch in position –
(WASHINGTON, DC) – U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) today sent a letter to Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and welcomed his recent epiphany by joining the millions of American’s who do not support amnesty for illegal aliens, including voters of his own state who have already passed strict statewide measures against illegals.
“The Senator finally recognized that the will of the people is too strong to ignore any longer and has changed course on his push for amnesty and providing a pathway to citizenship for people who have broken our laws,” said Tancredo. “I offer him my experience in setting up an effective Immigration Reform Caucus in the Senate in order to give others the opportunity to join the fray.”

January 7th, 2008 at 6:11 amCalling it amnesty because you think the penalty is too low is dishonest. Denying that your campaign ads used the word “amnesty” when in fact they did, by email, by flyer, and by television ad, is dishonest, or stupid, take your pick.
President Bush is a former governor of the state of Texas, and Sen. John McCain is from Arizona, both states having a common border with Mexico, and both having a problem with illegal immigration for decades. That background goes far to explain their pragmatic approach. They should be given credit for at least grappling with the problem.
At the time the legislation was being debated, the major criticism was that it would have results different from those intended by its authors: this is a legitimate criticism, one that, in my view, was not answered in a satisfactory manner. If Gov. Romney wants to debate the merits of the legislation, citing chapter, verse, and the amendments he would make, then let’s have at it. That discussion would be useful. We certainly have plenty of time to air the subject before the presidential election.
Tom Tancredo (Colorado is from a state rather remote from the issue, and this seems to be the determining factor in his thinking, despite strenuous efforts, by those who actually have to deal with the problem, to educate him. His solutions are simplistic, crude and ineffective.
We do need comprehensive immigration reform, and the last cut at it was not satisfactory. With any luck, the point has been made that citizenship is an honor that is not to be tainted with illegal acts. Perhaps the next steps will be to discuss exactly what we need to do to upgrade the effectiveness of the INS and our border control, to establish a guest worker program, and provide some means to encourage those who come here to work, to also go home. I believe our immigration policy could be shaped in such as fashion that would benefit us and our neighbors to the south, and could result in much-improved democratic and economic conditions there. If we stay stuck on amnesty, we stay stuck on stupid.

It is precisely because President Bush, Senator McCain and unfortunately Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison are from border states that they want open borders. There is clear corruption in dealing with the southern border. Local politicians on the border are paid off to leave the border open by drug dealers and the corrupt Mexican government. You have to live hear to understand. For that very reason, McCain can not be trusted as he plays that leave the open border game. It is not that complicated. There is clear collusion at the risk of American border patrol, American police officers and American people on the border. President Bush plays the game and we are tired of it in Texas. For that reason alone, McCain can not be trusted to run this country.
