Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

In watching this interview, I noticed several things.
First, wow, what an ordeal this guy has been through in service to his country. I am impressed by his humility in talking about it.
Second, when answering some of Hannity’s questions, he seems to be throwing out his “standard” answers. He even sighs a few times as he mumbles what seems to be a canned answer to a question he has received thousands of times. There is no passion behind his answers.
Finally, when answering questions about things he disagrees with Conservatives over, I think he knows what answers Conservatives want to hear, but he doesn’t know why those answers are important to Conservatives. He gives summary answers, but, like Obama, no specifics. To add to the problem, Hannity doesn’t press him for details on any of his summaries.
How he expects to win in November, I don’t know.
March 13th, 2008 at 6:01 pmThe wording of McCain’s response to the question of strengthening our border is carefully crafted - that he would have the state goveners certify that the borders are safe. This is an open-ended statement. I am positive that a Lindsay Graham, or Ted Kennedy kind of govener for a border state would certify the border as “secure” in their current state.
Perhaps someone should follow-up on that statement and pin McCain down on the intent of that position.
March 13th, 2008 at 6:04 pmSo, all of a sudden, the STATES have the authority to patrol, and defend their own borders? Will not the border states rightly conclude that that expense is to be unfairly laid on their shoulders, while McCain says that’s not his problem?
This is grotesque. You’ll have one state defending itself against illegals coming in from an adjacent easy border state. That is, if AZ can defend its own borders, then why not KS, or IL if AZ, or other border states decide not to?
McCain’s answer is totally unacceptable, and probably deliberately so.
March 13th, 2008 at 6:32 pmThe national border is the Feds’ responsibility, you can’t delegate authority on it.
March 13th, 2008 at 7:01 pmI thought he was maybe trying to advocate more of a states’ rights type approach to border security, backed up by the federal government. If so, this would be a truely CONSERVATIVE answer, (remember, us conservatives are about LESS centralized gov’t control and interference) and might be the solution to the imigration problems we are facing.
Anyway, I am willing to take 4 years of whatever Mr. McCain has to offer us over anything the libtards are bringing to the table.
March 13th, 2008 at 7:17 pmAs I have said before on this issue, it is a REPUBLICAN SCAM - “border governors will certify the borders are secure” . . . My governor, Republican Rick “Snake in the Grass” Perry wants the Texas border wide open - cheap labor and drug dealers flowing back and forth without interference . . . and Republican Senator Kay Bailey (we don’t need no stinkin’ border fence) Hutchison who is coming back to ascend to the throne of governor . . .
same ole’ shit.
Irs - You are correct.

March 13th, 2008 at 8:43 pmOK…
I hear a lot of folks pissed off at McLame on this issue to the point of sitting this one out. Before you do, consider this…
Even if McLame and the Fed don’t do shit, individual states can at least enact laws punishing employers and securing their own borders. Oklahoma and Ariz did just that and many illegals fled those states.
If Obama and Hillary get in, look for those laws to be countermanded or overturned by some federal bullshit “rights” legislation. The Dems would NEVER pass up a chance to import a large, permanent underclass that would solidly vote democrat.
