Hey Marshall McVain! We’ve had it with Vichy Republicans. Real Senators like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee are here to lead now.
McCain continues to show his true colors. Why do people in Arizona continue to vote for this guy?
Many lefty concern trolls lately....all wanting to give th Repubs advise.
Mclame has NEVER had another senator stand up to him, like Cruz
has done.
Stopped reading midway through the first sentence. Leftists are truly dishonest.
Those who, like John McCain, have held "office" in government for extended periods become too occupied with the trappings and habits of office than with the great principles of freedom their "office" was designed to protect and defend.
Note, please, Edmund Burke on the effect of "office" on a government official:
". . . it may be truly said, that men too much conversant with office are rarely minds of remarkable enlargement. Their habits of office are apt to give them a turn to think the substance of business not to be much more important than the forms in which it is conducted. These forms are adapted to ordinary occasions; and therefore persons who are nurtured in office do admirably well as long as things go on in their common order; but when the high roads are broken up, and the waters out, when a new and troubled scene is opened, and the file affords no precedent, then it is that a greater knowledge of mankind, and a far more extensive comprehension of things, is requisite, than ever office gave, or than office can ever give." - Speech of Edmund Burke, Esq., on American Taxation April 19, 1774 [Second Edition. Dodsley, 1775.] here.
Now that a new generation of thinkers, men and women who have utilized new technologies to read the great literature of liberty surrounding the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution, and the framing of "the People's" Constitution for limiting their government, the old guard, like McCain, who merely sought "office" and perpetuated themselves in that office are understandably without a clue as to how to respond to discussions of principles and ideas.
It is up to us, the citizens of America, to join the new guard who understand that there are ideas too essential to liberty to be traded away in the kind of "habits of office" (Burke) McCain refers to in his sniping, ". . . maybe the senator from Utah ought to learn a little bit more about how business has been done in the Congress of the United States.”
Now, "when the high roads are broken up, and the waters out, when a new and troubled scene is opened, and the file affords no precedent," is the time for statesmen whose minds are focused on first principles and how to preserve liberty for future generations.
Senators Lee and Cruz, please attend to Burke's wisdom, for it is high time for "a greater knowledge of mankind, and a far more extensive comprehension of things. . . than ever office gave, or than office can ever give." McCain's focus on a "legacy" for this Congress and for President Obama reflects a small mind focused on "office"--not a "greater knowledge" of the sad history of civilization's struggle for liberty.
The so-called civil war in the Republican Party is the most significant political fracas in Washington. That is the only constest that has a chance of pulling the USA back from immediate cultural and political collapse into the communist abyss. If conservatives ultimately win that one and the Republicanb Parth becomes the Conservative Party in substance if not in name then we can get a handle on it. If conservatives cannot win that one then the rest of the fights now going on don’t much matter to the direction of the country.
I don’t know if he speaks or not but Ted Cruz just posted to twitter.
Senator Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz 18m
Was privileged to join Hillsdale College for their commencement. Watch the address tonight on CSPAN around 7:25 CT. http://www.c-span.org
This is how the libtards give off the scent of fear.
How about the arrogance on display from the parade of IRS people in front of a Congressional committee?
How about the arrogance of Zero when he says things like, "Let me be perfectly clear...", meaning, "Listen here, dude, I'm about to lie through my teeth and everyone here is gonna' pretend like it's the gospel truth."?
How about the arrogance of AG Holder when he whines and cries in front of Issa when Issa calls him on something?
Libs know they can get away with their arrogance because the "news" media cover for them, making them act even bolder in their high-mindedness.
I think Cruz feuding with McCain is a good thing. The "old guys" in the GOP need to know we are through acting like a minority party and it's time to stop kissing the Dem's and the media's a$$es trying to make nice with them. I say we take Zero's advice and get in their faces, say what we want to say on TV no matter what the stupid question was from the stupid liberal reporter. Take the fight to them. Now.
This type of commentary will be churned out by the news media as the flames beginning to consume the Obama White House burn brighter. Joan Walsh and the Left are in a panic.
Ted Cruz is a conservative icon who has risen to power quickly despite the slings and arrows of a corrupt news media and establishment Republicans. McCain’s dwindling power has always come from people like Walsh who say if all the GOP could be like McCain we could form one harmonious national party.
LOL- joan walsh is the same left wing bozo who tweeted last week both the benghazi and IRS scandals were “withering”....
It isn't like the Dems have a history of promise-breaking and treachery....oh, wait.
Senator John McCain was a member of a financial scam team called The Keating Five. The operation affected millions of people losing their money.
They were never jailed for this thievery.
Senator John McCain, POW, etc., did serve his country with all the devotion that he had. However, he has repeatedly voted “No” on any bill providing more assistance, or medical care for other U.S. veterans.
I believe that Senator McCain is attempting to follow in the steps of the last life-long-served-in-the-well, the deceased Senator Robert Byrd. But it doesn’t work for him, because he is just plain arrogant, and not listening to his constituency, or the Will Of The People.
He needs to be removed from office, as showing all the signs of mental incompetence.
More important, in blocking a conference committee, Cruz's strategy seems to be to give the Senate (and Obama) the choice of accepting the more conservative House budget bill or letting the federal government go into shut down. This is gutsy political hardball that emasculates the Senate leadership and Appropriations Committee with their routine corruptions. Kudos to Cruz and his allies.
Cruz Missle.
McCain has always been the MAnchurian Candidate.
Here we are, with the fate of the Republic on the line, and the Dems are laughing themselves silly over intraparty fighting.
Way to go, McLame!
