Reagan or no, I'm going to have to disagree with you. Since 2000, McCain has been one of the most consistently anti-conservative "Republicans" in the Senate. He has done everything within his power to not only promote anti-conservative positions (CFR, amnesty, fiscal profligacy, etc.) that are destructive both to his own Party in the long run, but also to the long-term health of America's middle class, conservative foundation.
Why has he done so? Because of his grudge against conservatives who helped hand SC to Bush in 2000, shooting down his presidential aspirations ten years ago.
On the basis of that vindictiveness alone, the ideological leftism not withstanding, he deserves to be removed from office.
Even to this day, McCain is pushing the effort to completely undue all the advances that conservatives have made within the Republican Party, trying to return/keep the GOP headed towards the "moderate" direction that has, so far, only served to destroy the Party's standing with its own base, and handed us electoral defeats. Any true conservative Republican should want to see McCain become a footnote in history, post haste.
The sooner the better, AFAIAC.
You cite Reagan, but the John McCain that Reagan worked with when the Senator was in the House was not the same John McCain we see today. Back then, he actually was conservative. Today, McCain is just a vindictive, left-leaning jerk who needs to be in a nursing home, not the US Senate.
I've butted heads with rabscuttle before, but this time, I'm totally with him, 100%. McCain needs to go, and Hayworth needs to take his place - regardless of what compromisers and Party elitists and insiders think about it.
