McCain needs to start talking the real talk.
Repeat after me John-Boy:
I WILL enforce the Federal Labor Laws!
I WILL Fine Employers who fail to Pay-Roll and verify Documents for work eligibilty-On the W-4's!
I WILL protect American Workers, and their Wages from foreign interlopers and their Criminal Employers!
Then:
I will have Mitt Romney as my Vice President!
John McCain, say these things, and keep on saying them over and over, until the other Conservatives and myself can actually believe you! ;~)
