Rand Paul Fires Back at John McCain: ‘Past His Prime,’ ‘A Little Bit Unhinged’
Breitbart ^ | March 16, 2017 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 03/16/2017 10:26:13 AM PDT by COUNTrecount

Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) reacted to comments from his colleague Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) a day earlier on the Senate floor accusing him of being an agent for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Paul had objected to a unanimous consent motion for legislation to advance Montenegro’s bid to join NATO, to which McCain had attacked Paul.

In his “Morning Joe” appearance, Paul ripped McCain as being “past his prime” and “unhinged,” and then went on to argue questions about NATO deserved more consideration.

You know, I think he makes a really, really strong case for term limits. I think maybe he’s past his prime; I think maybe he’s gotten a little bit unhinged. I do think that when we talk about NATO, there can be a rational discussion about the pros and cons of expanding it. We currently have troops, combat troops, in about six nations. We have troops actively just stationed in probably a couple dozen others. We have a $20 trillion debt. And one of my favorite articles of the last couple years is one that talked about the angry McCains, and if they — if we put active troops and got involved in combat where McCain wants us to be, they put a little angry McCain on the globe, on the map. And it’s virtually everywhere. So his foreign policy is something that would greatly endanger the United States, greatly overextend us. And there has to be the thought whether or not it’s in our national interest to pledge to get involved with a war if Montenegro has an altercation with anyone.

Saying that John McCain is “a little bit unhinged” is like the ladies at the church whispering that unmarried Kathy Sue is “a little bit pregnant”.

McCain is a lot unhinged.
And has been for years.
But Arizona loves to elect him and his friend in amnesty, Jeff Flake

Since Trump declared that McAinal was not a war hero, McAinal has been getting a lot of deserved warning shots across his bow. (Navy Lingo)

In his prime, McCain was taking money from Charles Keating, and having Keating set up a sweetheart shopping center investment for his wife, to keep a failed Savings & Loan open.

In McCain’s addled mind: the country has “negro” as part of its name so I can’t come out in opposition or else one of my friends on the left will call me racist. I’d better go all in with my support. And if there’s anyone in my party that opposes me I’ll slander them. Yeah, a good ol’ public shaming will make everyone bow down to the great war hero that I am... er, was... kinda sorta.

McPain (in the arse) has been unhinged for at least 20 years - probably just started losing control back then as I believe it goes all the way back to ‘Nam.

rofl!

He should go join the “moderate” forces in Syria.

Maybe he thinks Khrushchev is still in power.

Maybe he’ll slam his shoe on the table and scream at Rand “I will crush you from within!!”
