Reacting to press reports that retiring GOP Rep. Ray LaHood is the likely nominee for Transportation secretary, John McCain today commended Obama "for once again reaching across the aisle." McCain called LaHood "one of our country's finest public servants."
In a written statement, he said LaHood "has always fought for the best interests of our nation -- recognizing that bipartisan compromises often provide the best solutions to the problems facing our country."

“I voted for Sarah.”
Well, thankfully, Sarah didn’t win. Had she won, we’d be stuck with McCain ;)
“[McCain’s] just an ass.”
Worth repeating. There are no excuses for John McCain.
Bipartisan = a Republican taking a Liberal position, and sometimes, rarely, the reverse
With a split SCOTUS, a RINO Bush and a Communist Obama and Democratic majorities in the Senate and House, you better buckle up for a McCain Liberal rodeo!
The floater that just won’t flush.
Who is McCain’s audience at this point?
He certainly isn’t speaking to any of Sarah Palin’s supporters, and last time I checked, RINO’s were getting the push out of the party.
Just curious since he doesn’t appear to know he lacks a constituency.
Paul, what can I say.
Better than McStain overall of course but could he be trusted to fulfill the primary job of the President?
When he first announced I thought “oh that’s nice” even though I agree with most of his platform and love his NO votes in the house I didn’t envision voting in the primary for what I viewed as an unviable. What with the inordinate focus on weird monetary things and all.
Then he basically said “they hate us cause we’re over there....”. Now I’m not super gungho on foreign intervention. I was ready to bail on Iraq before the surge worked (McLame was right? Holy S**t broken clock) But Paul just doesn’t “get it.” He looked semi-senile, deer in the headlights, to me once when confronted by a reporter. Lowell Wicker was praising him.... “Paul is what the Republicans used to be.”
Then he cross endorsed along with Boob Barr and Chuck Baldwin, leftists Ralph “to the right of Obama perhaps????” Nader and Cynthia “9-11 truther/honky hater/extreme moonbat” McKinney. A ridiculous act of idiotic third party kumbayahism.
He later switched to just endorsing Baldwin after Boob Barr pissed him off somehow.
He attracted a lot of support from liberal fauxlibertarians, who eventually voted for Nader or OBAMA.
The Constitution Party in Montana broke ranks with the national party and nominated him, I figure he had to have agreeded. His presence nearly tipped the state to Obama. Now I’m no longer certain whether a President McStain wouldn’t be worse for us in the long run (if nature had shortened his term that’s another story...) but I don’t like seeing that.
McHood and LaCain can both rot.
