McCain Ego Out of Joint: Anti-Republican / Pro-Filibuster

Either the GOP embraces the option and gets things done, or it wastes this golden opportunity (control of the Presidency and the Senate).


I believe it's called hardball politics. And it's time the GOP started playing it.
I have no problem with partisanship (in theory), and nothing wrong with "reaching across the aisle", BUT the Democrats need to understand they are the MINORITY party. They need to be smacked up side the head until they really understand this.

McCain is also against stopping the flow of illegal immigrants into Arizona.

Methinks senator McCain is showing more and more of something called Little Man’s Disease; he surely isn’t showing any leadership for his party or his state. John McCain, the Arizona Banty Rooster, has lost his crow – what we are hearing is gurgling from a sinking boat.

Mr. McCain,

I will support you in supporting the fillibuster IF you can come up with another avenue -- a successful avenue -- around the judicial roadblock. If you have a solution, we would like to hear it. If you do NOT have a solution, do NOT come looking for my vote in 2008.

Only folks with solutions to problems need to apply in 2008.

If you call teaming up with Teddy Kennedy to write a massive amnesty and allow them all to come legally stopping them then I suppose you are right.

Personally I think McCain is awful on the illegal immigration issue.

It's time conservatives start targeting McCain as we would target a Democrat. He is one of the prime reasons Republicans have been winning elections, but very little progress has been made toward implementing conservativism in law.

It's mindboggling how prominent talk show hosts like Sean Hannity can continue to give this guy a free ride while he is trying destroy the conservative movement from within the Republican party.

nuclear option = shortsighted. if we do it, it will come back to haunt us. you want everything shoved down our throats the minute they get 51 senators?

Nonsense. We might someday not have the majority again, that is certainly true; but we never have, and never would, stoop to this level of unconstitutional obstruction that the RATS are employing.

Further, the media would crucify the GOP if it acted this way in the minority.

Get this done, and soon, with the Janice Rogers Brown nomination. I want to see the RATS and media try to deny a qualified black woman a promotion.

[Libertarian4Bush]

Nonsense.

no, just a different opinion.

[JoeGar]

McCain was well-aware that the Arizona border fence was installed backwards, with the barbed wire on the US side. He felt that installing it correctly would offend Mexico.
