Title: John McCain claims he “never supported amnesty”

Fox News reporter Jennifer Steinhauser recently spent a few days following Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) around Arizona, on his re-election campaign. Not surprisingly, the topic which voters continue to hound the Senator on is that of illegal immigration.

During a town hall meeting at a North Scottsdale library, a man named Richard Martin railed against McCain, saying: “We all know what happened after 9/11. Why didn’t you close this border down? Where were you, Senator?”

Steinhauser reports that over the three days she spent with the McCain campaign, the most commonly asked question was why he supported amnesty for illegal aliens.

McCain’s answer…“I never supported amnesty.”

WHAT?

As one of the keynote speakers at the 2004 conference, he told the zealous crowd: "It is in our national interest to bring the 8 to 12 million undocumented immigrants out of the shadows and allow them an opportunity to become citizens of this great nation."

Claiming he never supported amnesty when he in fact he wrote the amnesty bill. He is getting desperate.

It's getting so bad he can't even lie well.

John - please - just shuffle off and disappear. You're blocking the view.

He has a total lack of credibility on this point.

On edit  - He is probably trying to draw some fine distinction about never being for unconditional amnesty, but nobody listening is interested in any such hair-splitting bullshit artistry.

He just wrote J. D. Hayworth's next ad for him.

Hi,

Lord I hope so because McCain is still leading in the polls according to Rasmussen.

If they are not careful he will be replaced with a democrat.

For way to many years now, McCain has been a conservative every 6 years for about 6 months!  :loser:

And even then, only when the cameras and microphones were on.  I worked as a volunteer with the Arizona GOP before I got married, and wound up manning a phone bank one evening for the man.  Not a great guy to work for/with, based on my experience with him.
