John McCain, Ladies and Gentlemen!

When Republican Sen. John McCain ran for re-election in 2010, he fended off a primary challenge in part by running a gazillion ads in Arizona where he said, "Build the dang fence," in regards to immigration policy. Some folks in Arizona are upset that nobody built a dang fence, and they've been letting McCain have it in townhall meetings. Some of his answers are…well, let's just say it's a good thing he isn't President. From NBC News:

“You said ‘build the dang fence’ – where’s the fence?” one constituent named Keith Smith demanded of McCain.

“He doesn’t want the American people to stand up and ask him the tough questions and hold his feet to the fire,” Smith told NBC affiliate KPNX.

McCain told the crowd that Americans would not support a move to arrest all illegal immigrants in the United States and deport them. He also said he wouldn’t support an effort to make people who had been in the United States illegally for decades to become guest workers because “we’re a Judeo-Christian principled nation,” [Pols emphasis] drawing an angry response from some in the crowd.

It's tough to comment on that last quote because we really don't know what the dang he's talking about. But it makes us feel better to know that McCain probably doesn't know, either.
