McCain: Review Ariz. 'stand your ground' laws
Politico ^ | 21 Jul 2013 | ELIZABETH TITUS

Posted on 07/21/2013 7:27:04 AM PDT by mandaladon

Arizona Sen. John McCain says his home state should review its "stand-your-ground" law in the wake of George Zimmerman's acquittal in the shooting death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin.

The Republican senator said he trusted the jury's judgment in the case, but added Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" that the law "may be something that needs to be reviewed."

Does he think that applies to Arizona?

"Yes, I do and I’m confident that members of the Arizona legislature will," McCain said.

He said he did not share Sen. Ted Cruz's view that President Obama's remarks on "stand-your-ground" laws represented another administration approach to gun control.

"I respect his view, but I don’t frankly see the connection," McCain said of his Texas Republican colleague.

McRINO Praises Obama’s “Very Impressive” Speech On Racism…

Groan-inducing.

Via ThinkProgress:

[T]he senator also praised the remarks Obama delivered about the Zimmerman case on Friday, calling them “very impressive” and pledging to meet with more African American and Hispanic groups in Arizona. “I need Americans to talk to their friends and neighbors, not just those on their block or in their circle of friends,” he said.

McCain is not an Arizonan. His rich, beer heiress wife is. The only reason he shames Arizona by taking its senate seat away from an Arizonan, is because it is cheap to buy.

And once in that seat, he uses his wife’s money to destroy anyone who would challenge him. Character assassination, mudslinging, vile campaign tactics like the worst of Democrats.

Arizona will only be free of him when his contract runs out and he dissolves into a foul smelling black pool of slime.

He has always been an ass. Ask anybody who knew him in the Naval Academy and the Navy. He was a hot dog who disregarded all the rules and thought he was all that because of who his father and grandfather were. He graduated at the very bottom of his class and then his entire Naval career consisted of crashing airplanes.

I have read that about McCain as well. And this guy never seems to back the position of conservative Republicans on any issue anymore. Yet people like Sarah Palin and even Ted Cruz feel compelled to slobber all over McCain's butt every Veteran's Day or even his birthday for some reason. I think this only encourages McCain to continue his "up-yours" attitude toward conservatives. One person who has McCain pegged right is Rush Limbaugh, he has absolutely no respect for John McCain and ridicules his positions constantly.

Normally this wouldn’t bother me - with McCain, it’s what we’ve come to expect. The problem is that Governor Brewer is going wobbly and/or becoming senile too. Two years ago she stopped the guns on university campus bill that the legislature was set to pass. This year she sold out on Obamacare. Between the two of they could pose a threat to our basic right to defend ourselves.

And Mark Levin. Levin absolutely despises McCain and is happy to let everyone know it.

Would someone please find a way to shut up that ignorant prima donna. Why does Arizona keep electing him? He was a corrupt simpleton to begin with, and now that he is going senile he is an insufferable idiot.

The normally wonderful people of Arizona should feel ashamed to have this clown represent them in the Senate. He was, is and ever shall be a shill for the imbecile in the White House.

It can't be that he's that clueless.

He has to be taking payola.

He's done it before and gotten away with it, right Mr. McKeating?

McCain is a tool, he always has been but now that he’s senile he can’t hide it as well anymore.
