McCain voices optimism on immigration plan
Says his support for measure has affected campaign

Senator John McCain of Arizona said yesterday that he was “guardedly optimistic” that the Senate’s controversial immigration legislation will pass Congress, and added that he has been stunned by the personal attacks on him from conservatives angry about the bill.

Sen. John (Manchurian Candidate) McCain (RINO-AZ) of course is continuing his support for the Kennedy-McCainiac Mexican Migraiton Support Act, while at the same time expressing puzzlement as to the failure of many voters to support this.

McCain, who acknowledges that his outspoken support for overhauling immigration laws is complicating his presidential campaign, relayed a story about attending a recent fund-raiser where protesters were standing outside holding signs that declared: “McCain — traitor.”

“I’m a pretty tough guy, and I’m not asking for any sympathy,” said McCain, a former Navy combat pilot who spent five years as a prisoner of war after his plane was shot down in Vietnam. But, he added, “you see something like that and you think, ‘Wow, what would make these women . . . think I’m a traitor?’ “

He just doesn’t get it!

Hey Senator, here’s a cluebat to get hit by: maybe it has something to do with acting to virtually destroy the sovereign authority of the United States to control its borders, and to enforce its laws in the face of aggressive violations and outright harrassment from Mexican citizens and officials.
