Schumer: I Wish House Had More John McCains
breitbart.com ^ | 8/7/13 | Tony Lee

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who was part of the "Gang of Eight" that wrote the Senate's immigration bill, lamented that there were not more John McCains in the House of Representatives. Sen. McCain (R-AZ) has been lauded as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's "favorite Republican," and President Barack Obama, when asked by Jay Leno on Tuesday to speak about his "bromance" with McCain," described it as a "romantic comedy." But there are not as many Republicans who are so willing to compromise like McCain in the House, much to Schumer's chagrin. "Well, the problem is, why aren't there more John McCains?" Schumer told the Huffington Post on Monday. "It's not a mystery why there's a John McCain. The question is, why hasn't even a stronger group in the House created some John McCains? And the redistricting system makes it much harder." While the Senate passed its immigration bill, with the help of Republican Senators like McCain, Marco Rubio (R-FL), and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), comprehensive immigration reform faces much more resistance in the House. That is why House Republican leaders are reportedly trying to pass a series of piecemeal bills in order to ultimately conference with the Senate. Conservatives fear such a conference will enable many of the provisions of the Senate's bill, which the Congressional Budget Office found would lower the wages of working class Americans, would ultimately become law.

Amen!

When that totalitarian bastard praises you, it is time to consider (in McCain's case) a long over-due retirement.

You people out there in Arizona had better get a frigging clue and get rid of this traitorous bastard.

With any luck, his age will take care of him first.

RE So John’s love for Chuckie is mutual, how sweet.

The other day on Leno, Obama said basically the same thing.

Maybe the GOP should run McCain in 2016, look at all those Dems votes he would get.

If you believe the rumors McCain seriously considered an offer by John Kerry in 2004 to be his running mate.
