We're all republicans

John McCain sought to curry favour with the Irish-American vote when he addressed the Irish American Presidential Forum in the Scranton, Pennsylvania, yesterday.

‘I want to assure you that we will enact comprehensive immigration reform so that we can give people - after they do certain things, obviously - a path to citizenship in this country. The first of those things can be done on November fifth,’ he hinted.

‘I admit, a reference to ‘those pesky Mexicans’ can do wonders in a community hall. But 50,000 Irish illegals? It’s a different story. And don’t get me started on Northern Ireland. I’m so interested in it. I once touched down in Shannon and I could nearly feel the hope and history rhyming.’
