No fan of McCain. But I read the entire (brief) story. And I’m not getting how he “stabbed conservatives.” Seems to me he is putting the onus on Obama to move in the Repubs direction. IMO.
I agree...I dont see that connection at all. But McCain is McCain...
From the article:
"He maintains that he has been willing to work with Obama all along, but that the president hasn't shown the same cooperation."The "maverick" is putting the onus on Obama to work with John McCain and not the Republicans.
McCain is not looking to force Obama to moderate his leftwing agenda to suit GOP values, but only to force Obama to enact his leftwing agenda through him.
What has pained McCain most during Obama's presidency is not Obama's leftwing agenda but McCain being denied a leading role in enacting that agenda. Think McCain–Feingold, McCain-Kennedy(Immigration) & McCain-Lieberman (Climate)etc.. All from before Obama's Presidency and all in spite of the opposition of the majority of the GOP.
McCain's past is truly prologue. He's positioning himself to stab conservatives in the back again (with the MSM cheering him on). Be ready for it!
