Here is McCain literally sticking a fork in his campaign.

As Hewitt notes McCain misquoted - ah hell he screwed it up - what Reagan said.

“I think McCain was trying to quote Reagan, badly. Here’s the relevant passage from the Gipper’s 1989 Farewell Address:

I’ve spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don’t knowif I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mindit was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans,windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living inharmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce andcreativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors andthe doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here.That’s how I saw it, and see it still.”

However, the real damage came when just preceeding this he talked about our “National security and the enemy within our borders”.

Yeah, but no fence to keep them out.
