WASHINGTON - Republican John McCain struggled to keep his deeply troubled campaign afloat Monday, laying off dozens of staffers after lackluster fundraising and excessive spending left him with just $2 million for his second presidential bid.
I think if you side with illegals and you are on your way out of office.

Yes, and I'm quite happy about that.
The man has flip-flopped on issues over the years. I disagree with his points of view on quite a few different issues. His record on civil rights is dismal..some political statements in the past patronizing to minorities.
Voted NO on repealing tax subsidy for companies which move US jobs offshore.
Wishy-washy on education.
Voted NO on shifting $11B from corporate tax loopholes to education. Voted NO on national education standards.Voted NO on funding smaller classes instead of private tutors.Voted NO on spending $448B of tax cut on education & debt reduction.
Wishy-washy on environment. Voted NO on continuing desert protection in California.
Foreign policy with a hammer? Overthrow “rogue” governments to keep Americans safe. Our policies concerning rogue states: Iraq, Libya, North Korea-those countries that continue to try to acquire weapons of mass destruction and the means to deliver them. I’d institute a policy that I call “rogue state rollback.” I would arm, train, equip, both from without and from within, forces that would eventually overthrow the governments and install free and democratically elected governments. Yet, he voted NO on killing a bill for trade sanctions if China sells weapons.
Voted YES on implementing CAFTA for Central America free-trade. Another NAFTA.
Voted YES on allowing some lobbyist gifts to Congress.
Voted NO on banning more types of Congressional gifts.
Flip-flops on gun-control issues.
Voted NO on expanding enrollment period for Medicare Part D. Rated 25% by APHA, indicating a anti-public health voting record.
Voted YES on allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security.
McCain gave his most full-throated appeal to voters to make their choice less on issues than on experience & character.
Well...it's the stance on issues that can impact the voters lives.
Like this..he voted NO on raising the minimum wage to $7.25 rather than $6.25. Rated 15% by the AFL-CIO, indicating an anti-union voting record.
He constantly refers to being a POW. He graduated 5th from bottom of Naval Academy class. He was known as a Profligate rake" during Academy and Junior Officer years.
Voted YES on using the Social Security Surplus to fund tax reductions. (Makes more sense to keep in the SS fund.)
He says he is willing to be last man standing for US involvement in Iraq. Voted NO on investigating contract awards in Iraq & Afghanistan.
One down..more to follow I hope.
One site to check his record, although there are plenty of others.

I know McCain put himself out there in supporting this now-failed bill but Obama and Hillary were also for this bill as well, but I guess they didn't show it as much as McCain did.
But did I forget to mention that Obama and Hillary raised the most money? yes, they did, especially Obama for this quarter. Not to mention they are both for any comprehension reform that supports the legalization of "illegals."
VOTE DEMOCRAT:
OBAMA or CLINTON

McCain is down because he isn't as extreme as the fascists in the Republican party are. He is a real American wounded in war fighting for our country More worthy of the presidency then his republican rivals but he doesn't want to keep the black man in prison and he doesn't want to start a war with Latinos- So the dirty trailer trash republicans hate him.
