First let me say that I respect John McCain for his service to our country. He and the other POWs gave more for our country during the Vietnam war than any of us could imagine. As we all know, his service to our country did not end after his ordeal there. He is still in service to this country as a congressman. Even though I respect his service during wartime and do agree with him on some issues, he does not get a free pass to show disregard for Conservative ideals and Conservative constituents.
I received the following email today from Brandon (a fellow ProtestWarrior) who wrote to McCain to voice his concern over the total non-management by our Republican congress of the immigration issue and to provide some suggestions for action. This email was too funny and too informative not to share with you all.
----------------------------
"Finally received my response from John McCain’s office concerning my suggestions for immigration reform, automated unfortunately, which means my letter wasn’t read; however, it did give me a chance to get his three-page response, confirming my suspicions that John McCain is beezlebub, abaddon, satan, king of darkness, prince of demons.
The first paragraph thanked me for my letter -- that was probably sorted into a “complaining conservatives” massive pile (umm, probably a ROOM full of piles). The next two paragraphs talked about how important sensible, rational immigration reform was one of his top priorities. Then the letter went downhill from there.
The next two (qualifying) paragraphs explained how unbelievably against any form of amnesty John McCain was because it rewarded illegal behavior, followed by a paragraph of how there were so many jobs Americans wouldn’t take, followed by a paragraph I roughly sum up as having said “getting the illegals already here, or slowing down those coming in now, would be too hard, so geeze, let’s not even try,” followed by three paragraphs explaining John McCain’s comprehensive “plan” that was tantamount to a complete amnesty program. This letter had more flip-flops than the latest AMD 64-bit circuit board (lame geek analogy, flip-flop circuits for milli-second binary memory storage, approaching a trillion).
Then it ended with a very fake low quality print of J’s signature and a request for me to write again with any suggestions I have for immigration reform. Is land-mine one word or two separate words? …pulling thoughts of most secure border in the world, N/S Korean DMZ, wondering why we can’t copy that model, God forbid our government try something proven to work.
Reminds and re-confirms my decision not to donate to the RNC or the Republican Senate Fund, only to individual candidates..."
--------------------------------------
So, we now have on record the non-action plan for immigration from a congressman who is likely to seek the nomination in 2008. Not looking good, is it? This party had better be looking for someone who is strong on immigration for the nomination. If not, there will be Conservative hell to pay...
