The fact that McCain was pushing the “comprehensive” immigration reform is not that disturbing; with 12 (11? 13?) million illegals in the country, some kind of amnesty is going to be granted, whoever is running the congress. The disturbing facts are McCain’s attempts to ram it through the Senate while lying (or being ignorant) about its contents and labeling every opponent an anti-hispanic bigot (a labeling he continues to employ even today).
McCain’s approaches to other problems are similar; e.g. Mitt Romney simply mentions the word “deadlines” and is “responsible for the deaths of American troops”.
At this point, the only reason that John McCain would be preferable to Barack Obama is the likelihood that he would appoint more conservative judges. However, given the McCain-Feingold Act, I have to wonder what kind of “conservative” judges he would appoint (it wouldn’t be the libertarian kind!).
