Michelle Malkin reminds us of just how wrong McCain is on illegal immigration
Michelle Malkin tells it like it is in her article entitled “Geraldo Rivera Republican” over at National Review. Read the whole thing, but here are some nuggets of pure Malkin gold.
…how can McCain cure citizens’ distrust when his own credibility on the issue remains fatally damaged? He doesn’t believe his own election-year spin. And he knows we know it. This is cynicism on steroids with a speedball chaser.
Not all of us have forgotten how the short-fused Arizona senator cursed good-faith opponents in his own party (“F**k you!” and “Chickensh*t” were the choice words he had for Texas GOP Senator John Cornyn during a spat over enforcement provisions). Not all of us have forgotten that he voted against barring felons from receiving amnesty benefits under his plan. Not all of us have forgotten the underhanded, debate-sabotaging manner in which McCain, Kennedy, Lindsey Graham, and Harry Reid conspired to ram their package down voters’ throats.
His admission of the shamnesty failure is grudging and bitter. While he now tells conservative voters what they want to hear about the need to build the southern border fence, he takes a contemptuous tone toward physical barriers when talking to businessmen. “By the way, I think the fence is least effective,” he told executives in Milwaukee, according to a recent Vanity Fair profile. “But I’ll build the goddamned fence if they want it.” Straight talk? Try hate talk.

i think i crashed the party with ann’s live chat tonight. i emailed her the code to embed a new chat program but it was all messed up when the email program automatically added formatting and hyperlinks and stuff to the code…. so a box with an “X” appeared instead of the applet.
I posted the corrected code on this page: http://www.yetoso.com/code.htm
copy and paste everything on that page into a blog post and everything should work dandy.
sorry, didn’t mean to hijack the topic…. who does McCain think he is fooling? the straight talk express needs a realignment

Oh let’s not even get started on McCain! He has gone out of his way to attack his own party–not to stand on principle–but to engender liberal accolades from the beltway media; he has prevented his party from seating qualified, constitution-following judges on the federal bench; he has voted repeatedly against tax cuts for folks who actually pay the taxes; he has taken every opportunity (except during this campaign year) to demean and attack religious conservatives; he has not just supported, but proposed anti-Second Amendment legislation; and let us not forget the corruption of the savings and loan scandle. And last, but not least (heck, it’s not even last either), McCain has undermined his own patently unconstitutional free speech laws in trying to become President. How have we all forgotten this? Conservative radio commentators haven’t, but it appears that many Republican voters have. For heaven’s sake, just google it! This man will destroy the Republican party as a viable choice in America if he is nominated. Everyone here knows that I’m not a Romney zombie, but who else can save Republicans from the eclipse of the party threatened by McCain and Huckabee?
After some careful analysis on my part, I predicted back in October that Romney would win the nomination. I may yet be proven wrong, but I fear that I am dead on the money with my prediction in this post. I, for one, will sit out any election in which McCain is the lesser of two evils–and by far, I am not alone.

The Democrats have no well reasoned answers to the economic turmoil we are now experiencing, but continue to push that which brought us into this mess in the first palce—they will save anything for votes of those that think they deserve the fruits of another’s labor. The Republicans–Romney excepted–have resorted largely to saying what conservatives and independents want to hear, although their promises clash with their records. The media, even the best of them, and some of the most highly respected conservatives–my good friend Jack Kemp included–have bought into McCain’s deathbed repentance, or rather his last minute conversion to the principles of free enterprise. We know that without a conservative guiding force that McCain, once elected, will soon revert to the bullying hand of the Democratic leadership. Now, I’ve advocated that either Thompson or McCain would make good VPs to a President Romney. Certainly, it appears that either combination would compete well against against Herr Hillary whose claws and teeth have finally been bared against Obama. I urge all of us to get passionate about the candidacy of Mitt Romney. He is the one candidate that can turnaround the failing US economy and save the fast-sinking Dollar on world markets. He is beholden to none of the special interests except that of freedom and the Constitution of the United States. Without a doubt, Mitt Romney is America’s best hope to reclaim its greatnessd at this critical time in history. — Dr. Max Chartrand

OMG! You just created a scenario wherein I would not vote for Romney! Congratulations! A Romney-McCain ticket is a non-starter for me, and would instead constitute living proof that Mormons are in league with the Devil.
