“The way to get rid of a John McCain is by waking up the voters to his duplicity...Not like this.”
As far as I know, none of us FReepers had anything to do with McCain coming down with this condition - this is God’s work (finally).
As far as taking McCain out through the political process, it would certainly help if the Republican Party would step up to that. They need to have a simple rule: If you’re a Republican from a solid-red state, then you need to behave like a CONSERVATIVE, not a flaming moderate. If you do not...then replacements will be found. But instead people like McCain are DEFENDED by the party, despite all the damage they do to the country.
The Party didn’t elect him ... and it doesn’t keep electing him. The people of Arizona do. And it’s up to them to retire him.
The same goes for his wife, Ms. Graham, and the reprehensible Susan Collins. As long as the voters in their respective states keep returning them to their offices, conservatism will be diluted by their presence.
