Senator John McCain of Arizona said today he is "guardedly optimistic" that the Senate's controversial immigration reform plan will pass Congress, but said he has been stunned by the personal attacks on him from conservatives angry about the bill.
"I'm still hopeful we can get it done," McCain said in a wide-ranging interview with reporters and editors at the The Boston Globe.
McCain, who acknowledges that his outspoken support for immigration reform is complicating his presidential campaign, relayed a story about attending a recent fund-raiser where protesters were standing outside holding signs that declared: "McCain -- traitor."

Wait until he sees the reaction AFTER this abomination passes (heaven forbid). Sic semper tyrannis.
I wonder if he will feel hurt about the one that says “Idiot!” ??

Someone to dumb to understand that he is a traitor and he thinks he should be elected president.
Man talk about out of touch, the dumb-as- is in the next galaxy.
What a jerk!
Geez, can the guy really be this clueless? I guess being in Washington for so many years really does rot your brain.
Wow, what would make McCain so friggin' dumb?
BOO HOO.
hey john,
up yours.
However, I will say that your actions are indistinguishable from treason.
feeling no pity ping!
And soon,hopefully,he will also be unemployed.
How someone like McCain could, with such a limited intellect, become a US Senator merely because he was captured during war and held by an enemy of the United States is beyond me.

Icannot figure out where his support has been coming from unless it is just clueless Republicans who only recognize the name.
