Since illegal immigration is the #1 topic here in Texas, I just don't know who to vote for in November. I may just stay home as McAmnesty and Obama both want to give our country to illegal aliens!

McCain should be smart and see through what La Raza actually is - a racist organization [FAIR edit].

Don't do that, Rick. Go to the polls and vote for a third party candidate. It's much better than doing nothing.

John McCain out on the straight talking Espanol panderfest campaign trail- pledging to continue Bush's pogrom of ridding America of middle working class Americans. McCain, Obama, and Clinton are competing to who gets to fire the starter's pistol to begin the global marathon of millions of third world peasants who will stampede to America in mass hordes and trample a once great 21st century nation beneath them,

I think the McAmnesty label is appropriate but a little too direct. Let me propose something new and slightly more subtle: "Dogleg John". This would be after the A. Lincoln story about a dogs leg/tail (not-an-amnesty/amnesty), which of course is entirely fitting.

La Raza is a racist, fascist group that actually believes their own rhetoric! McCain, with his best puppy face on, stated that anything less than amnesty for the 20 million illegal alien criminals was, "inhumane and un-compassionate".
You could list a thousand reasons why any politician should stay away from La Raza but, being the political whore's that all of them are, listing them is just a waste of time.

JUAN McAMNESTY WILL SURRENDER THIS COUNTRY TO MEXICO, AND THE REST OF THE THIRD WORLD!

IT`LL BE BOOSH 3!

LaRaza is McAmnesty`s buddies. LaRaza (aka The Tan Klan) is the biggest racist, hispanic supremecy group in the country, and this clown is going too their anti-American meeting, to probably push his amnesty disaster once again. Juan "Mexico First" Hernandez, McCains new best buddy, probably put him up too it. McCain is a stubborn old man, who will never listen too the American people.

VOTE ANTI-INCUMBENT!

If we all voted for the constitution party, couldn't we pull enough electoral votes away from both reps and dems to not let either get the required number of to win?

There are no canidates would vote for. I to will go vote for a 3rd party candidate. This ciuntry is going to end up being a third world coutry.

I hope that if McCain is treacherous enough to promise amnesty to all the illegals in this country if he is elected, even though he knows the people of the U.S. don't want this. That once he is elected president with the help of all the pro illegal groups votes. He is treacherous enough to then boot all the illegals out of this country against the wish's of the pro illegal groups that voted for him.

Sounds like we'll have to fight on for another four years and keep the pressure on the Senate and the House from passing an amnesty for illegal aliens.

This really shouldn't be our fight and I resent the hell out of McCain and the rest for having to fight it.

Remember, we stopped Bush and we can stop McCain or whoever gets into office by keeping the pressure on the Senate and House.

ANY OF THE ABOVE FOR PRESIDENT LOSES WHEN THEY WIN

Its slam dunk in my book, if you win the American Presidency next November, you'll be gone in one term. You'll be blamed for the horrifying chronic stagflation depression or severe recession we're in now, that's getting much worse and isn't going away either I predict, until America depopulates. This uncontrolled growth mess in America has been going on for decades...it just hit the fan really bad after 911.

Here's an essay on immigration, I helped my daughter write, enjoy:

Current Events and Politics
8 May 2008
Unit 5: Our Changing Nation Essay Assignment

The various websites I found for immigration are listed in my Works Cited and one of them is a useful neutral non-partisan discussion website (Messerli, Joe), albeit lacked recent immigration news issues that the mainstream media generally omits anyway. I went to the Numbers USA website (Comparison of Immigration Reform Proposals: SAVE Act (2007) vs. H.R. 4432 (2005)) to get the recent legislation scoop on immigration, as it’s the best source that I know about on recent government law actions in process.
The reliability of all my websites is they are all non-partisan and Numbers USA is non-profit too. The BalancedPolitics.org website (Messerli, Joe) source I used documents both “pros” and “cons” to maintaining/increasing immigration in America, so it’s appearance is trustworthy, but in my opinion, still lacks key details on the “con” side of the issue. The Numbers USA sources are obviously “con” websites only, but since mainstream media and alleged neutral immigration websites generally refuse to publicize recent bi-partisan government actions to limit immigration, I used them as a best/only sole source available. I added more references as I wrote the essay to back up my salient points too.
The differences of opinions on the subject of immigration are documented in some detail from the BalancedPolitics.org website. The “pro” side had much more details and emphasizes increasing diversity of ethnic groups and providing big business plenty of cheap labor, while offering amnesty as a way to eliminate the illegal alien counts. The “con” side description from this “alleged balanced website” of increasing/maintaining immigration did a poor job in my estimation, as they omitted the adherence to America’s Constitutional Immigration Laws by our employers as a key rationale (in my opinion, it is); irrespective, the website focused on drug elimination and wage depressions. It also omitted another key “con” argument, uncontrolled population growth (Messerli, Joe).
The Numbers USA website documents the Secure America with Verification Enforcement (SAVE) Act of 2007 (Comparison of Immigration Reform Proposals: SAVE Act (2007) vs. H.R. 4432 (2005)) hitting the Senate and the House for possible Discharge Petition; which has absolutely no amnesty provision and basically emphasizes border protection and employer enforcement only. It has clear and substantial bi-partisan support (The Campaign to Pass the SAVE Act), as its split between 162 Democrats and Republicans alike on support and petition signatures to date. Congressman Pelosi and Senator Reid are against the bill, but when it comes to immigration overpopulation they don’t listen to approximately 90% of the voters’ desire to trim growth from their neighborhoods’ roads, wetlands, parks and schools, as they apparently want to add to it and support more and more overpopulation amnesty. Then they want green house gas reduced too, with their magic wand.
The mainstream media usually weasel words pro-amnesty polls to say, “Do you support guest workers on farms”, to split the results, but you’ll never find an intelligent Zogby Poll that asks, “Do you support more growth in your neighborhoods”.
My take on immigration is very clear; we need a break from it. We have more important issues impacting our country like hyper-inflation destroying our economy due to uncontrolled growth. The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) documents 87% of the American environmental destruction overpopulation is legal/illegal immigrants and asserts the other 13% is the illegal anchor babies. The baby boomers are environmental kings and queens, as they kept population in America on a positive environmental decline, until greedy illegal businesses pushed unplanned growth and reversed their positive trends (Cleaning the Air on Immigration and the Environment). Yet we hear on mainstream media the horrors of the baby boomers for being infertile and not overpopulating America like good citizens increasing our carbon footprint, so we need illegal immigrants’ anchor babies to bring us back to utopia again. The brainlessness of this is not educated liberal in my book, as it’s clearly unplanned nonsense and the result in my opinion: the subprime banking mess, $4/gal gas, bridges collapsing and masses of unemployed kids with college degrees heading into this current American recession, etc, etc. It’s clear from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only about 20% of the growth in jobs requires a degree, yet, about 30% of American youth from age 21-30 have degrees (The 30 Occupations with the Largest Employment Growth, 2006-2016) and (Leaf, George).
In my book, the next President doesn’t win the election, he inherits this hopeless mess that took decades to create and will be serving one term too, especially if he/she doesn’t implement depopulation in immigration ASAP to head off possible stagflation depression. My generation is doomed too, if we don’t depopulate now.

DON'T GIVE UP! BUSH WANTED SHAMNESTY AS WELL AND DIDN'T GET IT. THE NEXT PRESIDENT, OBAMA OR MCCAIN WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO PASS FEDERAL LAWS BUT THE STATES WILL TAKE OF IT. THE SANCTUARY CITIES WILL BECOME SO FLOODED WITH ILLEGALS, EVENTUALLY THEY WILL HAVE TO GIVE IN.
