Now McCain is telling us in an interview that the AZ Immigration Bill was prompted more by the growing drug violence than by problems with illegal immigrants.

I am still trying to get my head around the logic of that. I mean, the problems are somewhat related, but basically they are targeting people who are coming over, mostly peacefully, to look for work in order to try and deal with a problem they have little or nothing to do with.

I still see the analogy of the three-year-old kid trying to get attention:

Arizona and the border states have been begging the federal government to do something bout the growing problems related to our open, porous border. They have been ignored.

What does a three-year-old do when mommy will not respond to its pleas for attention? It hits the baby and makes it scream. In that respect, the ploy has worked…
