I recall he suspended his campaign to vote "yea" for printing more money. "To "save" the economy, don'cha know. Then he picked Sarah Palin to be his running mate. Once his poll numbers went up past Obama's, he put a muzzle on her. Finally, he told a senior citizen that didn't like Obama that she needn't worry. That Obama was a good man and that she could trust him. (Wonderful, John. You even made stump speeches endorsing Obama at your own rally!)
Deep down, I think McCain enjoys being an unaccountable Senator. For any reason that occurs to him, he can point the finger of blame at 99 of his peers and anyone else he doesn't care for and no will notice. All that power and no responsibility? And you can keep the gig for six years at a stretch, term after term?
Even the President doesn't have it that easy and he finally figured it out!
I disagree with you about McScum criticizing 99 other senators. He only does that to other Republicans.
