So explain The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007, in which doors for amnesty are left WIDE open and a suspension of current "enforcement" regulations is immediately called for... which has this particular "mainstream" conservative's name ALL over it.Please... do explain this for me, I can't wait to understand it.

Dufus, it's called politics. We, on the conservative, Reagan "right" are furious at McCain for routinely sticking his finger in our eye over one issue after another. McCain Feingold, a clear offense on free speech, political speech none the less. He was 1 of only 2 Republicans to vote against renewing the Bush tax cuts. He was a cetnral figure in the Senate's "gang of 14" which sought to get "moderate" judges through the Senate regardless of the PoTUS's preferences, and the "biggie", immigration. Of course that bill of 2007 was amnesty. In many forms the most glaring being the "Z Visas" that could be renewed to inifinity with zero requirements like English, health checks, etc.

Now, my point in that post was that he is running AWAY from that bill he coauthored in this primary. In the debates and in his stump speech's he's avoiding it like the plauge and repeats the phrase "I learned my lesson, Americans want the border enforced first", and even went so far in the last debate to state that "that bill (McCain-Kenneddy) will not come up (for a vote) in my administration"

So, if he wins today it will NOT in fact be an endotrsment for the "comprehensive/moderate" reform policy he was formerly affiliated with, just the opposite if you believe what he says - and I wouldn't think anyone would vote for him saying "he doesn't mean that." In fact when he was still trying to defend it is when he was polling under 10%, now he claims to be a Raegan conservative at every opportunity, and BAM, he's the front runner with Romney (an actual conservative) nipping at his heels. Now, I happen to think his suddennly finding his conservative legs is a lot of bull sh**, and he has no intention to govern that way. However, there is enough conservatives within the GOP that do in fact believe him and his conversion and disavowment of McCain-Kenneddy immigration reform that he may win. Do you understand now? A win today won't be an endorsment of that back-door shamnesty bill that he pushed given that he has campaigned for months now on doing the opposite of what that bill proposed.

Furthermore, would he to announce that he was going to reintroduce that bill or any form of it, rather then promising it won't come during his tenure as president, his support would hit the ground faster then my prom date's dress (and believe me, that was fast).
