Lots going on as regards John McCain, and people’s perceptions thereof. I see Jonah Goldberg essentially saying ‘he’s not so bad’. I see also, by way of Billy Hollis at Q&O that he’s joined a group of folks saying

Senator Arlen “Scottish Law” Spector in letter to N.F.L. Commissioner Roger Goodell wants to know why the league destroyed the evidence of the New England Patriot spying on the New York Jets, from brnaz, Empty Wheel:

I am impressed by the Michelle Malkin’s army.   One of Michelle’s readers nailed John McCain for having open borders and anti-security advocate Dr. Juan Hernandez on his campaign.

A few facts.

“We must not only have a free flow of goods and services, but also start working for a free flow of people.”

So speaks, Dr. Juan Hernandez, John McCain’s Hispanic outreach director.   A free flow of people is what gave
