Maccain Threatens to block The Defence spending bill unless They Remove "DA'"and DADT - Page 2

Oh..... I never expected him to vote for the DREAM Act or the immigration reform after he switched his position on immigration during the presidential campaign. He realized that pretending to be an anti-immigration "conservative" makes life as a Republican much easier than being a "maverick". Even though he supported immigration reform just a few years ago, he is no longer "pro-immigration". I don't think he will change his position even after he gets re-elected. Unless the political atmosphere is "right" for Republicans to support the immigration reform, which won't happen, I don't see him supporting the DREAM Act or the immigration reform.
Let's move on.

but there is no way to pass DREAM ACT without republican support.

Yes, we need some Republicans' support for the DREAM Act, but John McCain's support was never expected. It would be really great if he supported it, but we have to face the reality. He even avoided voting for it a few years ago by leaving the Senate floor, and my research shows that he later said that he would have voted against it if he had been present for the vote.

This video is just an example of how McCain flip-flopped on tax cuts and immigration.

I think they should ask everyone who is against the DA to raise their hand

(I am plenty aware that I'm a horrible person)

McCain wants to secure the border first and then he will consider the CIR/DA but he might even vote yes, who knows.

Blah blah blah every time they talk about "amnesty" although I dont think the DREAM is amnesty) they always us ethe border not being secure enough excuse to votee against it. Well how many border security bills have they passed in the last decade? The border is more secure than ever. All that is an excuse! So they can appeal to both sides by not really saying no, but not saying yes either

Either way, it will pass with or without Mccain.

The worst he can do is croak in the middle of voting and have the vote postponed.

McKane strikes again! darn.
