McCain Changes Course on Immigration

WASHINGTON — Republican presidential hopeful John McCain on Thursday backed a scaled-down proposal that imposes strict rules to end illegal immigration but doesn't include a path to citizenship.

The move away from a comprehensive measure is an about-face for the Arizona senator, who had been a leading GOP champion of a bill that included a guest worker program and would have legalized many of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants living in the U.S. It failed earlier this year.

"We can still show the American people that we are serious about securing our nation's border," McCain said in a statement, adding that the new bill would "provide an essential step toward achieving comprehensive reform in the future."

McCain's immigration position has been a campaign liability among Republican voters and hurt his efforts to raise money. Other GOP presidential candidates, fellow Arizona Republicans and immigration opponents throughout the country have loudly decried his position.

*** - This is actually becoming painful to watch. Shouldn't somebody step in and end this? Like maybe the FEC or the CDC? I mean even boxing commissions have rules for a ref to stop a bout when its clear that there is nothing left but more pain and suffering. They shoot horses don't they? Its so sad to see this kind of self-emasculation and brazen whorishness.

Sheesh, man suck it up! Walk away John, walk away!!! While recovery is still possible....

1. In three years he'll be telling us it was HIS idea to emphasize using the international

community more in the war on terror (Not John Kerry)

He'll also tell us he was for Universal Health Care from the beginning -- he was just misquoted.

...Reminds me of the professional pitcher who tries to hang on for another season or two when he no longer has a lively arm, getting rocked every outing and still can't see the writing on the wall -- utterly pathetic.
