'I want it fixed immediately! Understand?': Furious John McCain slams Border Patrol chief ....
The Daily Mail Online ^ | July 9, 2014 | DAVID MARTOSKO, U.S. POLITICAL EDITOR

for seizing lawmakers' cell phones at illegal immigrant detention centers to stop them taking photos

A visibly angry Sen. John McCain grilled the head of America's border patrol on Wednesday over a policy that limits what members of Congress can do at detention facilities where the government is holding thousands of illegal immigrant children.

'I have never seen anything like your instructions, signed by your name. ... Are you telling me that [when] I visit a detention facility, that I can't bring a cell phone with me?' the Republican asked.

'Are you saying that? ... I am not allowed to take photographs?'

'I want it fixed immediately! Understand?' McCain boomed at Customs and Border Patrol Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske.

The policy, called an 'Interim Protocol for Visitation and Tours,' requires all visitors to turn over their phones and restricts contact with the detained children and staff members.

McCain ripped into Kerlikowske for applying the rules to him even though the Nogales, Arizona facility is in the state he represents.

'People from Arizona elected me, and I'm not supposed to even carry a cell phone with me?' he demanded. 'Mister, you have overstepped your responsibilities and your authority.'

'I want those instructions revoked, as far as members of Congress are concerned, and I want it done today.'...

Why is the old fart angry at the Border patrol Chief? The man is following orders from Jeh Johnson and Obama. He is probably being threatened too.

True and McCain lacks the manhood to treat them the same.

Yeh — Juan presses for our involvement in every foreign conflict while ignoring the foreign invasion taking place under his nose.

He is nothing but a schizo off his medications.

High drama, yielding low returns. The drug cartel has set up residence in south Arizona, maybe as long as six years ago.Where was your anger then?

Whenever the government does something in secret with people in camps, it makes me feel warm & fuzzy. Thanks Great Leader…

We know why Obama is embarrassed. He wants us citizens crowded into those camps while the illegals roam free. Possibly yet to come if he gets his way, the turd.

This jackass has no problem with untold numbers of illegals flooding into our country, but he gets upset when he has to turn in his cell phone? Dumb old bastard!

It must be getting tense on main street, if the RINO sock puppet has to squawk.

Or what, McCain? Are you going to fight now? Are you going to realize how you have been used for decades by the dims? I think neither.

The only short term way I see for this nation to be rid of McCain as a senator is too make an offer his ego and bank account can’t refuse. Give him a ten year contract for his own nightly TV show. Give his family their own network the McCain network. Put it on cable. Make a term in the contract include retirement from political office. I think it would work. He can’t pass up a live TV camera his ego won’t let him.

The anti-christ cannot take over the world unless the stage is already set for him. I believe we are in those days.

Either he, or the Congressman that was denied entry the other day should have barged in, ESPECIALLY if it meant getting roughed up by security. And get it on camera.

Also, Perry should use his powers of CINC of TX Natl Guard and call them out to help. Make Obama federalize them to back them down if that’s what he wants.

"I have to tell you. Sen. Obama is a decent person and a person you don’t have to be scared of as president of the United States, " said 2008 candidate John McCain about his opponent.

Thanks to Tadslos for the full quote above.

One of the most nauseating scenes in a prez campaign. Stupid McLame berating a supporter on b/cast TV......actually defending Obama. Completely clueless as to the ramifications of his words.

Americans can never forgive a politician as stupid as McCain for not understanding the ramifications of his words.

Thanks to McCain, all Americans are forced to live w/ a lawless, vengeful president----the "decent person"---wreaking havoc on America.
