Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

hey just like last year when he said he backed the Dream Act! Oh but I bet this time is for real now, right?

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

HAHAHAHAH!!!! are u kidding me????....this really made my day...best joke ever!!

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

I wonder when Sen. Durbin will introduce the Dream Act again. President Obama needs to mention the immigration issue on the State of the Union.

BREAKING NEWS:

Someone needs to contact the CDC and NIH - this is the first known case of a fully-recuperated Alzheimer's patient.

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

well hes supporting it now for the reason that he will have his seat in the senate for the next 6 years. I think he always supported it since he was one of the first poeple that supported it but he just wasent willing to risk his sit for us, but now that his seat is secured he can now jump back in the DA/CIR wagon without having to worry out about backlash by the people in his state.

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

And this is Lindsey Graham's cue..

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

Ajwkwm

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

It makes sense if you think about it. Risk small backlash from immigration reformists by abandoning Dream Act for re-election. Then after that's settled, back immigration reform while picking up latino votes along the way.

He's good.

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

OMG..... This is the good news I heard since last month DA votes. We all know nothing is possible without GOP's supports. Only way CIR possible in 2011 is with atlest two of these republicans: Mccain, Graham, Mcconel or Hatch. If we can mange to pull Mccain & Graham others like: Hatch, Lugar, Murkowaski, Rubio, Kirk(IL), Snow, Collins, Brown(MS) and others will line up automatically.

Only thing OBAMA has to do is be calm and stay in center and willing to hear from both side. He also needs to remember not to give any Anti bills untill they suports DA or CIR. If he does that King, Smith will come talk on CIR since senior republicans like Mccain,Graham and other wants to work on CIR. On other side Obama, Mcacin and Graham has to work with Bohener and Mcconel to suport it or atlest let it go through.

Its long way to go but its possible with Mccain and Graham. So lets hope for the best.

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

what an ass...

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

I love Mccain. He always wanted a CIR and DA but he voted Nay on the DA because of the timing and border security.

Now, I really think CIR/DA will pass in 2011.

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

After I become a Citizen (if CIR passes), I vow never to vote for Grumpy Old People

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

wow I think I puked a little in my mouth.

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

McCain only backs immigration reform only when he knows that it won't pass. That way, he can gain supporters from Hispanics by telling them that "I'm all for Dream Act." and gain supporters from anti-immigrants at the same time by telling them "See? Dream Act didn't pass, I'm still on your side."

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

Ok this is the same shit he had been saying. Secure the boarder first, what make you think he is for CIR in the article?

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

I would agree with you, but he just won re-election by pandering to the far right and anti-immigrant crowd. So, what incentive is there for him to come out and even say that he supports CIR now, whether it passes in 2011 or five years from now? Either way he's a douche bag, but I'm just saying that he has his seat for the next few years, so what can Hispanics do for him?

The bottom line is that he could have continued his anti-immigration reform rhetoric. I still don't trust him because he's still saying secure the borders first and we all know that they will never be secure enough. :-|

Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

In the last few days we've seen Dead birds falling out of the sky in the thousands, we've seen dead fish washing up shore dead in the hundreds of thousands, these deaths may have been caused by a change in the magnetic pole, but i didn't think could change retarded people into rational people. way to go McCain we hate now more than ever.

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

Good news. But, I really don't trust him either. Border security cannot be first because, as someone all ready mentioned, the border will never be secure enough. I mean can these Republicans DEFINE what they mean by secure? I think the border security argument is just a stupid excuse for opposition to decent, hardworking people's dreams. That being said, legalization and border security must come together in one bill. This is where Obama and Democrats can compromise with Republicans.

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

I want mass deportations!!, buses & trains filled to the max

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

I agree with your last sentence. Because CIR bills tend to consist of points that aim to reinforce border security, I think CIR has a good/perhaps even a better chance of becoming a reality than the DA as a stand-alone bill in 2011/2012.

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

Oh so now you REALLY think CIR/DA will pass. So all those other times you predicted easy passage you were just joking right? I get it.

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

you are all sheep

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

As much as I despise McCain for his flip-flopping, we need him for CIR. I'm glad he's on board this time.

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

6 months from now, Mccain will be like "Fuck the CIR, fuck the DA"
he should just retire

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

His echoing his current stance, secure the borders first, what the hell does this mean, can you please advise some context, do you wante a Berlin Wall, Barb Wires, 1000000000000000000, border guards, we have no structure to build, it is unclear/ambigious , if Obama would have been on his toes, he would have asked for benchmarks on border security, i.e. increase guards, x-rays, buidling the wall, whatever, now we have to define what a secured border is, after the fact that Obama already spend a lot of resources "securing the border"!

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

wow, vote hungry desperate piece of doody, oh wait ...

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

McCain is mad

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

Wolf in Sheeps clothing

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

Well now we just have to hope he does not die ( the man is old ) before CIR happens that would really suck.

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

Well he was the CIR leader back in 2006 and 2007.

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

DA would be part of CIR if CIR comes up for a vote.

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

Yes, we have Durbin and Bennett that want to introduce the DA this year and then have Mccain and Menendez/Luis too.

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

He is not that old plus he is healthy and a former soldier.

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

hhaha are you defending McCain? McCain the only member of the senate to have serve in the Roman Congress.

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

Yes, why not? He is the only who made CIR possible in 2006/2007 for a vote and also the DA in 2007.

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

you should get banned again, you do know McCain walked out on 2007 DA right................................

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

DA got brought up because of CIR.

Re: McCain turns around and now backs CIR
 

Yeah, with republican house and fucktards like smith we cant assume anything getting done.
