Praise for Turbo Tax Timmy, support for amnesty and climate change, and bashing of conservatives. Just another day in the life of a professional RINO. |

GREGORY: You just heard Secretary Geithner. What’s your level of confidence in him?
MCCAIN: Well, I have some confidence in him. I think he’s very smart. And I hope that this new plan -- which, by the way, I thought was well-described...
. . . . .
GREGORY: Have Republicans heeded that call, and do you think President Obama has heeded that call?
MCCAIN: I think neither side, perhaps, has done it as much as maybe we should. But you establish an environment. Really, bipartisanship is sitting down across a table from each other and negotiating, recognizing there’s got to be compromise.
. . . . .
MCCAIN: ... on national security policy I think the president has done the right thing on Iraq. We may get to it. I think his proposal for Afghanistan, I might modify it a little, is good. So I -- I think in the area of national security policy there has been some working together.
. . . . .
MCCAIN: Well, that’s always the inevitable result of increasing spending and increasing the size of government. They’ve earmarked $634 billion for cap and trade; by the way, a betrayal of everything I’ve ever believed in about cap and trade, which I’m a supporter of. They, they have earmarked or budgeted for hundreds of billions of dollars in increases in spending in health care to bring down the cost of health care.
. . . . .
GREGORY: Given that, assuming you agree, how does conservatism modernize itself?
How does the party get back to power?
MCCAIN: The party of ideas, party of inclusiveness, outreach to other ethnic aspects of the American electorate; in my part of the country especially, Hispanic voters.
We have to recruit and elect Hispanics to office. We have to welcome new ideas. And there are -- you know, a lot of people complain about divisions within the Republican Party. That’s good right now.
Let’s let a thousand flowers bloom. Let’s have different clashes of ideas, sharing the same principles and goals. Look, if we were having this show in 1982, Republican Party was dead. 1994, the Democratic Party was dead.
Right now, there’s a great resilience in American politics, and I have -- I’m very optimistic about the future of the Republican Party if we do the right things.
GREGORY: Speaking about the Hispanic vote, would you like to work on immigration policy with this president?
MCCAIN: At any time I stand ready, but the president has to lead. The administration has to lead with a proposal.
GREGORY: Do you think they have that proposal, want to do that?
MCCAIN: They have not come forward with one yet. They said that they are going to -- I understand the president met with the Hispanic Caucus and he said he would have some forums and other things.
GREGORY: Right.
MCCAIN: But they have not come forward with a proposal.

geez what the hell is wrong with McLame?
RETIRE ALREADY YOU ARE BAD FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY *AND* THE REPUBLIC
Really, what is major malfunction?
What in hades is he trying to say? Cap and trade (aka crippling the economy) is OK, as long as there aren't earmarks?
Yes, I guess that's what he's saying.
I believe it's time to just ignore whatever this man has to say -- and let a thousand flowers bloom in the fertile regions of his vacuousness.
Well, smarter than you are, Juan. I'll give you that.
Huh?
McCain is spouting gibberish? Not a surprise.
In a way I’m glad that he’s not our President.
But on the other hand, both choices sucked.
No thanks to McCain!
GREGORY: In terms of future leaders of the Republican Party, would you like to see Sarah Palin become president?
MCCAIN: I’d like to see her compete. I think we’ve got some very good candidates: Jon Huntsman and — the problem, when I run down these names, I always leave — leave out a — a name — Bobby Jindal , Tim Pawlenty . There’s — there’s so many. There’s a lot of good, fresh talent out there.
GREGORY: But would you support Palin?
MCCAIN: Oh, I’d have to see who the candidates are and what the situation is at the time. But have no doubt of my respect, admiration and love for Sarah and her family.
Johnny boy can't see past race. He thinks recruiting Hispanics through La Raza is a good idea, solely because the organization has a large Hispanic membership. I suppose he would like to recruit African-Americans through the Nation of Islam.
I agree that the Party should reach out and show they are inclusive to Hispanics, conservative Hispanics who believe there is a difference between the two parties. Not to the Hispanics that cry for more socialism and amnesty for illegal aliens. Running around calling those who oppose illegal immigration "racists" does not help the cause.
The mentality of the permanent minority party. A GOP proposal wouldn't get far in a 'rat-infested Congress but at least it would demonstrate a desire to solve the problem. MuckPain is content to sit on his thumb and let Obama drive the ship.
Will this man ever go away, between hin and zero, they are both media whores... and on the way out he can take that dizzy daughter of his too.. Cancun, would be a good place for both of them...or even farther south to maybe Punta Allen...

John, sit down and shut up ... stop embarassing us. I didn’t vote FOR you, I voted AGAINST O.B.A.M.A. ... go home and build a fence or something.
