Mr. McCain Keep Gitmo OPEN!

in: Election 2008, John McCain, Presidential Candidates

John McCain addressed a group today and mentioned that he wants to close Guantanamo Bay. Now folks, this may be a deal breaker.

What happens if we were to close Gitmo? We either release the detainees which has proven to be a mistake in the past. Several former detainees have been found on the battlefield again. OR - we absorb them into our prison system where, they would be protected by our Constitution.

Why should we allow them Constitutional protections? They want to destroy everything that our Constitution stands for. I’ll be damned if I’d do anything that would allow those “people” to destroy that which I at one time swore to defend.

So Mr. McCain, you need to rethink this policy or lose some support. Because you are sounding an awful lot like the last man who lost a Presidential election.

    He’s been a long-time supporter of closing Gitmo. He did not misspeak, he WILL close it with days of winning the presidency. He has not waffled on this issue.

    Technically, non-citizens are not protected under the U.S. Constitution, even as prisoners being held in the U.S., but the left will try to manipulate that anyway, if the prisoners were absorbed into our prison system, and claim they should be protected Constitutionally, anyway. And, of course, they will claim international law on that one, even though international law is not the law of the land - the U.S. Constitution is the law of the land for American Citizens. Besides, these prisoners of war don’t even fall under the protections of the Geneva Convention. They fail to because of their non-uniform status, for one.
