The former presidential hopeful and chairman of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee reckons the looming threat of a so-called "Brexit" will hurt the global economy and weaken the West....David Cameron welcomed McCain's harsh words on Friday morning and labelled the statement an "important intervention" in the fight to safeguard Britain's EU membership.

Important intervention by @SenJohnMcCain – UK membership of EU vital for security & prosperity of both Europe & U.S.

Way to sell it McLame! Juan’s sell-by-date has passed and nobody believes a word that comes out of his mouth. McLame’s record does not, and never has, match his rhetoric. Retire and spend your wife’s Cindie’s family money and quit torturing the country.

I would think the opposite is true.

The US & UK have a long history of standing on the same side in disputes. The US & the rest of Europe do not.

What is vital for US security is for McCain to get beat in the next upcoming Arizona Republican senatorial primary and be retired to catch the front end of the next anger management therapy class.

I would say to lock him up in an insane asylum, but he already resides in the largest insane asylum in the US, that being the US Congress.

Need independent Britain. Need firewall between what befalls greater Europe, and the isolated island nation. Very advantageous in previous occupations of Europe.

That would be next Tuesday and if Arizona has a heart, he’ll lose his primary against Kelli Ward.

Somebody tell McStain to shut up and make me a sammich. The EU needs to go and the UK will be much better off out of it.

“That would be next Tuesday and if Arizona has a heart, he’ll lose his primary against Kelli Ward.”

I think the presidential primary for Az is next Tuesday but we have the senatorial primary later on August 30 and I will be voting for whatever alternative there is to McCain, probably Ward.

Ah, NO Sen. McCain, the UK should get out of the European Union. More and more members see the EU as a failed bureaucratic boondoggle. A horrible example of a super state bureaucracy running amok on its members at their expense.

Britain would have to do 90% of the work for the US and then the US would come in at the 11 hour and save the day...!!

To quote Groucho:

I don’t know what they have to say,
It makes no difference anyway,
Whatever it is, I’m against it.
No matter what it is or who commenced it,
I’m against it.

Your proposition may be good,
But let’s have one thing understood,
Whatever it is, I’m against it.
And even when you’ve changed it or condensed it,
I’m against it.

I’m opposed to it,
On general principle, I’m opposed to it.

[chorus] He’s opposed to it.
In fact, indeed, that he’s opposed to it!

[Groucho]
For months before my son was born,
I used to yell from night to morn,
Whatever it is, I’m against it.
And I’ve kept yelling since I first commenced it,
I’m against it!

EU was the Clinton/Albright invention attempting to give the US the backseat in the world economy. Remember the USSR was broken, China was not yet out of the closet, and they thought American interests were too big for their britches. They felt only one world power (US) was not good and so they caused the EU into being. It is set up so that the nation/states are subservient to the national power (EU). That is the Clinton/Albright view of how it should be in the US - how they would change the constitution.
