Don’t forget he was the tie breaking vote to stop drilling in ANWAR against Bush.

If McCain and the other dems are against the TEA party hobbits, wouldn’t that make them Orcs, or some other minions of the evil of Mordor?

He has stabbed conservatives in the back at almost every opportunity. You can call it stupidity or you can call it evil. You can not be stupid all of the time, i call him evil.

Well I don't know about any of you guys, but I don't like being called a ‘crazy’ or ‘hobbit’....
The only time this ‘self-ego spineless sissy’ will apologize is only if his neck is on the line, and it hasn't been since he was born...
All about McCain, always has been, always will be...

McCain crossed the line years ago. One of McCain's most egregious acts was his betrayal of America with his Gang of 14. McCain sabotaged the only chance I have seen in my lifetime to start turning back the Marxists. I am done with him period. And have been since that time. Kelli Ward is primarying him. She is an MD so she has smart credentials but her website is light weight. I am concerned by that. Levin is behind her so I guess I will support her but he was also behind Hatch so... Regardless, I am sick of being betrayed. Mc Cain has done some good things in his life, but being a U.S. Senator isn't one of them. He will not win the nomination this year. Signed, One of the crazies who wants the border closed.

I can’t wish any harder for McCain to be removed from his senate seat, I do not care at all by what means.

The Gang Of 14, that’s the one I couldn’t remember. Thank you for the reminder.
McOrc has been in so many Gangs that have harmed America, it’s hard to keep them straight.

You’re are quite welcome. Do you remember Robert Byrd hopping from side to side on the stage with glee. We managed to take out a few of those bastards but not enough, no where near enough.

He wouldn’t have made it through the academy and made a pilot either, if it weren’t for the admirals in the family.
