Oh there used to be a number of John McCain's in the House. But retirements and two democratic wave elections took out about sixty of them. Then they were replaced by conservatives after 2010.
The old guard moderates used to have a majority of the majority (hence the Hastert Rule to keep conservative proposals from getting a vote) but now conservatives have a majority of the majority and Chuckie doesn't like it.
But Chuckie has the leadership, insidious and conniving Boehner, Cantor, McCarthey and McMorris-Rogers that he can count on! They are "his republicans."

Not enough conservatives after 2010. Some of those faked being conservative just to get elected.

McCain is such a sad case. He’s obviously still suffering from Helsinki syndrome.

"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. Some villages are keeping their idiots rather than sending them to DC...
It's easier to keep track of what they are up to.

The trouble is that McCain’s wife, the beer heiress, has enough money to buy his Arizona seat. Really, enough money to destroy anyone who would challenge him. It is a “rotten seat”, that was just the easiest one for him to buy.
McCain himself is not an Arizonan. Originally he was from Virginia, but he has no loyalty to them, either. The truth is he is a citizen of the national government. He sees the rest of America as oppressors of that dictatorship of government, and resents us for it.
The only plus side is that he is 77 years old, and that no other Republican wants what he wants, so after his decaying remains are scraped from his senate seat, he will have no legacy other than his military service, and will get few visitors at Arlington. Certainly few from Arizona, the state was denied a senate seat representing its interests during his sojourn.

We wish the Democrats had more John McCains, too!
But the Democrats are all reliable, doctrinaire, lock step leftists. It is only Republicans who are expected to “reach across the aisle” in the interests of bipartisanship.
Every Republican voted against the Stimulus and Obamacare, but every Democrat voted for them.

Probably because McCain isn’t a Republican and most in the House are?
