John McCain just can’t help himself — especially when it comes to immigration. Today he flopped again — or was that a flip? Anyway, kyledeb, liveblogging McCain’s speech at National Council of La Raza, caught him doing it:
Someone from One Dream 2009 asked if Senator McCain would support the DREAM Act. Yes, he said, but he also supports the nation’s sovereignty and wants to make sure it doesn’t come at the expense of legal migrants.
Yeah, McCain supports the Dream Act, all right — except when he doesn’t:
McCain, who lost most conservatives when he supported the president’s immigration reform proposals, confirmed that he did not support the DREAM Act, which was stopped in the Senate Wednesday by a vote of 52-44. The DREAM Act would provide amnesty to millions of illegal aliens who came to America when under the age of 16. It would also give green cards to illegal aliens residing in America for five years and attending college or performing military service.
“I got the message and the American people want the borders controlled first,” he said, adding that once that was accomplished, he would take steps to implement comprehensive immigration reform including paths to citizenship.
And he says the same thing when he’s on a conference call with right-wing bloggers, too.
Yep, guess we can just get used to calling him ole Two-Face McCain.

Dream candidate
Lively downstream David Neiwert thread that solved nothing and made little sense. I guess we’ll build more fences and forget the “Tear down that wall” spirit. My neocon twin brother says, “Well, THAT wall was built to keep people in where our wall is being built to keep people out.”
Yep, guess we can just get used to calling him ole Two-Face McCain.
Oh, I’m sure we can come up with some other names too….
Aloha, Ya’ll! I see my Dreamboat is hosting once again…! *swoon* ;-)
But can we use those names in polite company?
McCain: ”My answer to that is….” (turns to Lieberman and asks ’who is this group I’m speaking to here’?)… ”ok – got it – thanks, Joe”.
”Now I remember – my answer is….”
…we can just get used to calling him ole Two-Face McCain.
I hear McLaughlin called the slippery b*stard an Oleo.
…in polite company?
(looking over both shoulders) You’re asking *me* that question? heh.
McCain is still invited to all the parties because he grills great BBQ and his wife brings tons o’ beer. nuff said america!
and his wife brings tons o’ beer.
Isn’t Anheuser-Busch selling out?
She may have to pay retail (if there’s room on that American Express card).

If McC actually knew what he thought he’d probably be even more dangerous. BTW, that picture gives me nightmares.
Like Quirrel/Voldemort, to people who’ve read Harry Potter. There was a photoshop of that image here on FDL a few days ago.

I’ll bet the McCains have hired tons of illegal immigrants to service their properties over the years.
Seems to me, more like the Dream On candidate…
Hmmmm, it would be interesting to see if they have paid SS taxes on their house help in their multiple houses.
Is the Republican Candidate for president being outsourced to a European Conglomerate?
Bob in HI
What was the reason my post -the first one- that indicated I was tired of the whole flip-flop dialogue and asked when anyone had ever heard of a politician that didn’t modify his positions according to the way the wind was blowing and asked the question of what politician ever ’said what they mean and meant what they said’ was removed?
We need to remember to re-christen his bus the “Double-Talk Express,” as some are doing even in the MSM.
Bob in HI
Are you sure you posted it on this thread? I know I’ve made mistakes on where I thought I was posting a couple of times…
Yes, because it was the first.

I’m thinking that Cindy may have considered, a time or three, throwing JohnnyMac into the deal – maybe in exchange for a future ‘draft’ choice…
Have been meaning to ask: which face has the forked lizard tongue in that picture?
The toobz have been kind of wacky lately..
Yes, because it was the first.
ooh – that’s just wrong. Mods are gonna owe ya one….
and the proverbial ‘playa’ to be named later
I’m loving Rachel Maddow tonight. She’s pointed out that Johnny McTeleprompter keeps saying “Czechoslovakia” (Johnny wants Obama to visit this country…you know…the one that doesn’t exist anymore) and how Johnny recently said Osama bin Laden is the one who says Iraq is the central front on the waronterra. Yep! McTeleprompter (like Bush!) gets his info from America’s #1 terrorist.
from above-mccain-”“I got the message and the American people want the borders controlled first,” he said, adding that once that was accomplished, he would take steps to implement comprehensive immigration reform including paths to citizenship. ”
in other words, ”we- the gop and me- have friends who are contractors with no-bid contracts to build on the border and there’s still more to pillage for 6 more months. and as you already know, my friends, When we say Americans we mean Corporations.”

i let em know downstairs and in the basement there was a new thread…..being lost in space and no intercom is annoying, so, i did it…….but doing it crashed my browser and all my windows i had open. waaaaaaaa.
next time, can someone else do it? please?
(ctuttle–check your flickr mail–they flew out saturday and will be there two weeks, details in email.) : )
Well, you do have a comment on the News Box story on the same topic.
Mr. McLobby’s little helpers resigning…:
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/…..-scrutiny/
Woopsie! Great find!
I’m thinking “little Piggies” is a better term. ;-) At this rate, Johnny McTeleprompter won’t have anyone working for him. He’ll be the Single StraightLie Express.
Well, now that is interesting as I posted on David’s post and across from ‘read more’ it showed one comment. I will say that my firefox 3.0 under win2k does some strange things when opening windows but I did see ‘1 comment’ across from read more and haven’t been smoking anything today, honest.
The guy is really a bonehead.
They just grab McDummy by the shoulders and say stand here, say this…nevermind what you think…don’t think…just repeat after us…
Mr. McLobby’s little helpers resigning…
Would it be worth it to vote for McBrain just for the possible spectacle of Cabinet Meetings being held at Fort Leavenworth?
Heh, heh, heh…
LOL Why yes…why yes he is. He doesn’t know this though. He still believes he’s “tuff on terrah” and is the ‘common man’. *rolling eyes*
I’m on the Big Isle, they’re on Maui…! ;-)
Rachel Maddow just said before the break that Johnny is starting to understand the ‘Internet machine’. LOL! Gawd I love her.
Can we have a Hugh’s list on McSame’s flip flops. On second thought it’s easier to keep up with issues he hasn’t flipped on, like Iraq.
Seriously, Iraq is the only one I can think of. He still thinks he can “win” that war, even if it keeps us there 100 years.
here’s how he’s going to learn to master that pesky computer stuff.
Bah hahahahahaha! But you know what? He still won’t get it. He’ll call his daughter for help and will say, “Where do I put this thingamagiggy in the Internet machine to get it started?”. LOL
Here’s a good list to start with:
http://www.therxforum.com/showthread.php?t=593495
;-)
And…what is my password again…and then…well, now I’m on…what should I look at?
Yep, “Where’s the address bar? Copy & paste? What the hell is that!!! And why is it I can’t get back to the page I was on?”. Bah hahahahahaha!
And he wants to be president in 2008? Holy crap. Scary.
And…how do I spell Obabama Rabaka?
He’s still trying to figure out the remote control – or maybe even the TV itself.
And…how do I spell Obablamba Rabaka?
Dammit Cindy, I’m gonna grill my weanie.
How do you spell gewgal?
Bushco will confiscate his toobz and forbid him to write emails…especially when he writes to W and Rove.
LOL I bet he just found the ‘popcorn’ button on the microwave too. ;-)
I’ll bet if someone tells him they use a blackberry to communicate he’ll get really confused.
lol
Wait until he finds out we’ve called him all those Mcnames!!!
He’d probably say, “Wow! I have blackberries on my oat bran in the morning! Where do you buy yours?”. Bah hahahahahahaha!
or maybe even the TV itself.
“High defi-what? OH MY GOD!! – *That’s* what I look like on one of those high defiwhatevers?”
You forgot “bless his heart”
Wait until he tries to trap the mouse in a mousetrap….Ow…Micky…no..Might Mouse.
Wait til someone finds emails to his “missing lobbiest girlfriend”…
LOL Twain.
LS, I had forgotten about his lobbyist girlfriend. Obviously cheating hasn’t taught him a thing. He can’t even work an Internet machine. ;-)
Why did they disappear the hobby lobby girlfriend anyway if there was nothing to it….???
Hey, that gets us back on track, at least with the “two-face” concept.
If Timmy could crank a phone and Lassie could bark to communicate that someone was lost down a well, you’d think that nasty old man could learn to double-click a button.
Off topic…
Here’s a video I found earlier today. It’s kind of cool.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Px9jcA4decA
He’s probably double-clicked too many buttons…
You would think so, huh Margot. Maybe the reason why Johnny McTeleprompter has such a hard time working stuff is because he’s **two-faced and his head is flipping fast side to side? Hey, could be.
**trying to get back on topic ;-)
you’d think that nasty old man could learn to double-click a button.
Oh great. Now I got a visual of that creepy smile of his when he finds the p*rn sites…
On the bright side, that could keep him outta the public eye for a year or two….
Cottage cheese.
Uh…oh:

ctuttle at 39–ooooooooohhhhhhh, shucks…duh, that’s funny. that didn’t even occur to me until yesterday when someone asked me which island…….you would have liked them, on my flickr page is a pic of the back of their house– the ’hippies use side door’ sign, and it’s in the back pointing to the front door…….
well, anything you can tell them about, i’m sure they would appreciate, i’m sure you know more abou maui than they do!!!

and mccain first has to figure out how to turn the computer ’on’……..
McC really is showing that he knows nothing about anything. The Repubs must be having fits over what to do about him – although I guess they are stuck with him. He can’t get his countries straight and doesn’t really know anything about Iraq. I expect him any day now to turn to HoJo and ask what city they are in.
Ewwww….remember his expression at the mention of v***ra…his eyes popped…didn’t want to talk about it….
Bit BO is lettingh himself get tagged as the flip-flopper. he should habve been all over Mccain since day one on all his changes. Not too late. But it will be soon. same with all thses dumb assed gaffes by mccain. Mr. Foreign-Policy-Is-His-Strong-Suit didn’t even kbnow Czecchoslovakia was divided up. Obmama made as many mistakes like this as McCain has, it’d be curtains.
McLame: So what kinda foreplay does this form of toobz need anyways…?
the New Yorker cover has been fixed to Kevin Drum’s satisfaction.
Repub puke just called McCain, “McClain”…on Verdict with Shuster…
McBeer is now into uber, uber, uber wealthy gigalo territory with the Bud acquisition…It’s all about Cindy being first trollop.
I wonder if the ‘mystery’ has to do with the Saudi royals & their connection to Citigroup?
I still think he wakes up every morning asking, “What day of the week is it today?”. I always said that about Bush too. LOL They’re pretty much one in the same.
Actually, that was my very first thought too.
One of the biggest thrills on Maui is to sacrifice an early morning to greet a sunrise atop Mt. Haleakala… Literally the House of the Sun… Spectacular! One other memorable experience is to dedicate a day for the “Road to Hana’… Gorgeous scenery, but not for the faint of heart…! ;-)
The road to Hana is wonderful and I think I held my breath for every inch of it.
Sigh…puts things into persective…specks on this earth that we are….
Does anyone know what repubs are saying about McC? I read somewhere that Sen. Pat Roberts said that the Repubs had NO safe seats this year. Wow! That means they don’t think McC has any coattails either.
thanks twain and ctuttle-they mentioned a mountain and they were also going to bike somewhere that was challenging, said she would call from the top of it. thanks, i’ll passs it on, if you think of anything else, you have the addy. and mine.
(and she and her daughter don’t ’do’ mornings, but i bet they will in maui)
they will make the most of it, but having specific things in mind at the beginning helps to plan the time there, i hate it when i find out stuff a few days before i’m leaving somewhere…….
thanks
i should have said–doesn’t do mornings on her days off…….
Well peeps, I’m going to bed. Have a great night everyone! ;-)
new thread, two floors up.
