#1 The honourable Senator McCain may well have different ideas about the correct approach to border-crossing illegal aliens as president of the country than he did as senator of Arizona.

As for the following quote from one of Dr. Steve's links, that was the one I heard yesterday on NPR, to my shock and delight.

On the topic of Hamas, McCain said, "Someone is going to have to answer me the question of how you are going to negotiate with an organization that is dedicated to your extinction."

#2 You know, I've had a lot of disagreements with McCain, particularly over amnesty, but if he keeps saying and doing things like this visit and the visit to Iraq, he can win me over. That's something neither of the other two POTUS candidates have any hope of doing.

#3 "Someone is going to have to answer me the question of how you are going to negotiate with an organization that is dedicated to your extinction."

You simply "negotiate" THEIR extinction, before they do yours.

#4 I think that was his point, too, Besoeker. Only he presented it in the Socratic mode. ;-)

The point has been made over and over that President Bush is simply too nice, and not blunt enough. I think as president John McCain would not elicit such complaints.

#5 One thing I can't complain about McCain, is he hits home runs on foreign policy almost all the time. Domestically, he may be a disaster, but you can't fix the domestic front if it has been overrun. I believe he would at least keep the wolves at the door or far from the door while the dhimocrats would invite the wolves in to dine on our children, then blame us for not understanding the "Root Causes".

Excellent statement Mr. McCain. Now, I would like to get a response from Condi on what you said there, and put it in the record.
