Better than Monday night Football: McCain Streaming
Tonight’s City of Chicago edition of “Public Affairs,” [8:30 pm, Cable 21, throughout the City of Chicago] features Senator John McCain, speaking and answering questions at a fundraiser for 8th CD Republican candidate David McSweeney. Although the small portion of the show that relates to the 8th CD race, won last week by about 7000 votes by first term Democrat incumbent Melissa Bean [Barrington], is not very relevant at this point, the primary portion of the show, which relates to Senator McCain, is quite relevant.
[You can also go here to watch tonight's show, as well as other shows with Obama, McCain, Schakowsky, Bean, McSweeney, Scheurer, Radogno, Peraica, Stroger, Blagojevich, Topinka and many, many others].

Senator McCain [R-AZ] is currently the frontrunner to lead the Republican Presidential ticket in 2008, should he decide to seek that position. Odds are that Senator McCain, now 70 years young, will run for President and odds are that he will announce that shortly after Thanksgiving. Senator McCain had a 22 year naval career, starting with his graduation from the Naval Academy. He was well decorated in the military with a number of honors, including the Purple Heart, and he retired as a Captain [See here].
A year after he retired from the navy, McCain was elected to the U. S. House of Representatives, and four years later, he moved over to the Senate, taking Barry Goldwater’s [“Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice, moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue”] seat when he retired.
As Democratic campaign consultant Pete Giangreco, a veteran of six presidential campaigns and even more episodes of “Public Affairs,” will tell you—If one is going to run for President, he or she needs troops on the ground in Iowa by December, 2006. Having told us that the U. S. made a mistake by going into Iraq with too few troops, and that that mistake should be remedied right now— 5 ½ year POW McCain will not send too few troops into Iowa, nor will he be tardy in getting those “boots on the ground.”
Old naval aviators never die, they just continue to seek new leadership positions-- in this case a run for President.

Question from audience: We have friends in California who are telling us hospital emergency rooms are shutting down. Also, a cousin is an emergency room doctor in Arizona-who tells us because illegal immigrant [patients] can’t afford to pay, it is hurting the entire public. What can and should be done about that situation?
Senator John McCain: Secure the border, secure the border, secure the border [big time applause from the seventy, or so, David McSweeney/John McCain supporters in attendance], but you also need a temporary worker—you may not like the second part of the answer—you gotta have a temporary worker program and you gotta do something about the twelve million people who are here illegally. You can’t just leave them washing around America. Some of them have been here forty or fifty years, some came yesterday. And, to think they are all just going to go away just because we secure the border—and by the way, we can’t seal the border—ask the Israelis, they will tell you that you can’t seal the border.
Senator John McCain [Cont.]: So, this idea that somehow we are just going to seal the border—we’ve also got a northern border. David [McSweeney] made mention that three of the nineteen [on 9/11] came across the northern border, not the southern border, okay? So, we need to secure the border, we need to secure the border, we need to secure the border, but don’t think that that’s the only answer. It’s foolish to think that somehow—and by the way—according to our Constitution, someone who is born here is automatically a citizen [aka an anchor child]. I’m not interested in calling a soldier fighting in Iraq and telling him I’m deporting his parents who have been here forty or fifty years. Okay?
Senator McCain [Cont.]: And, also, finally, finally, speaking as a Republican, we better be careful how we handle this issue. There is a very large bloc vote out there called the Hispanic voter and they don’t like illegal immigration, either. But, they want this issue handled with some sensitivity—as the Irish wanted it handled, as the Italians wanted it handled, as the Poles wanted it handled, and every other wave of immigrants that has come to our country, so I hope that we can stop this illegal immigration—Arizona has it worse than anybody and we’ve got to secure the borders and a lot of that by the way is not a fence. A lot of this is UAVs, sensors, more border control, boots on the ground [like Iraq] and those kind of things because there are trackless parts of Arizona desert. Build a fence? So what. They will dig under it if there is nobody there to enforce it. So, a UAV can cover a couple hundred miles of a border and you can detect them and then dispatch a strike force to apprehend them. That’s an effective way to-- [The "Public Affairs," program with Sen. McCain concludes].
