Even if the Constitutional right to a fair trial doesn't apply as far as international law is concerned, it's still a fundamental human right. If you don't give 'em a fair trial, how do you know they're guilty?

There's nothing inherently racist about being from "the south".

Most of the things in that email have been thoroughly debunked, almost to the point of insanity.

I don't think so. You don't necessarily need to be a US citzen for the constitutional rights to apply to you. After all, you can still get in trouble for killing an illegal immigrant.

McCain is a friggin' Bad word bag. Just in case no one noticed, he has "Washington Politics" written all over his face.

That's because its against the law for you to kill. Its not against the law for him to die.

I have no clue what e-mail you're talking about by the way.

If McCain wins the Republican nomination (and there's not much of a reason to doubt that), it will the climax to "conservatism"'s slide to the left over the past eight years.

Question. To anyone that supports Barrack Obama.

Why do you support him?

I like him because he is not a member of "the old guard".
His lack of experience with "the way things are done" is pretty refreshing.

Finally (and most important): He recognizes half of the country belongs to a party other than his own and appears willing to work with leaders from the Republican party.

It's not against the law for anyone to die... my point was, if you're in America, you might not have full citizen rights, but you definitely have rights.

Yah', the right to shut your whining mouth and go back to your own country and try to get them to change their system instead of coming over here and trying to change our system.

@McCain Supporters: Oh yes, and in case you didn't know this, McCain supports amnesty for the illegals. If he cared so much about protecting his people, he'd want the illegals out. I mean a lot of crime comes from all of them being here.

E\\ support amnesty for illegal immigrants, so long as they learn English and pay some fines. The ones that commit crimes aren't the majority, I'm sure.

As far as terrorist goes, they have the right to die. That's pretty much it. If you're associated with them, you don't have the right to a fair trial, you have the right to death. It doesn't matter if you were just cookin' up some coffee for Osama himself, you don't deserve a fair trial.

They've all committed crimes. Hence the term "illegal".

No, Ron Paul has enough money to keep on running for the next 124 years.

Isn't Alan Keyes still technically running?

Everybody and anybody on American soil deserves a fair trial.

I support amnesty for illegal immigrants, so long as they learn English and pay some fines. The ones that commit crimes aren't the majority, I'm sure.

Yes they are. They're breaking laws from the second they cross the U.S-Mexico border. I won't ever support illegal immigrants, because they're all criminals who take everything from United States citizens and receive no punishment.

I think Netzen MooKoo means drug dealers and rapists and murderers.

Well, naturally, Sacco and Vanzetti didn't have a fair trial. They had a trial, but not a fair one. So that doesn't really apply. Also, at least they had a fighting chance at getting a fair trial. Better than no chance at all, I think. - Kef

So Edwards and Giuliani both dropped out today, leaving us with five viable frontrunners. Giuliani's exit won't make much of a difference, I think, except in New York, but Edward's departure is pretty important. Whoever he endorses is pretty likely to win big on 2/5.

I want Edwards to go "nyuk, you can all rot" and not endorse anybody.

The fact that he is willing to work with Republicans AND Democrats and appears to be interested in COMPROMISE means he's the exact opposite of Washington "I agree with this, but the other side likes it so I have to hate it" politics. McCain is interested in serving the citizens of his country, not politics.

I don't think that's a good way to vote for the president considering you've just about described any citizen of the US. Are you at least aware of his policies? I'm really cynical about people getting all riled up in this "change" buzzword business. I don't think things would be very different than the way they are now with a Democratic president. All of societies' problems seem to come from the system itself, not who runs it.

I'm not totally in favor of the "pathway" thing McCain likes, but it is the only realistic way to deal with the illegals. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see them have to wait in line like everyone else (or never be allowed back), but let's be realistic, folks. It ain't gonna happen.

He doesn't support full-out amnesty, only a pathway to citizenship. His position as someone who has a grip on reality enables him to see that there is no way to deport every person here illegally. It also helps him see that unless you secure the borders first, kicking illegals out will do no good, they'll just come right back. Quote: As far as terrorist goes, they have the right to die.

It doesn't matter if you were just cookin' up some coffee for Osama himself, you don't deserve a fair trial. From a Bush-Cheney fanboy, this might sound weird, but I think you're completely wrong. I am in full support of trying terror suspects and giving them a fair trial. It sets a precedent that shows the world we're better than those scumbags. If said trial results in a guilty verdict, I am in favor of a tall oak tree with a short rope. I'm sure we're in agreement on what happens with the guilty verdict, amiright? Also: What the pfargl!?!? Clearly those screws Coulter had loose have completely fallen out.

McCain's idea of a path to citizenship is what I was getting at and sounds like one of the best options for me. Somebody specific said something about taking English courses and paying fines, but I can't remember who.

You're probably right there, but it doesn't change the fact that no one should support them due to the fact that they are, in fact, criminals.
