You're the one parading misinformation.

For one, changing the rules isn't "breaking" the rules. Secondly, cloture now takes 60 votes, not 2/3 -- that right there shows me how ill-informed you are.

McCain is never on the side of conservatives. He doesn't believe in conservative ideals enough to back them in public. He is only interested in backing himself.
