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: 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.

[Mr. K]

geez what the hell is wrong with McLame?

RETIRE ALREADY YOU ARE BAD FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY *AND* THE REPUBLIC

[rabscuttle385]

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.

Really, what is major malfunction?

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.

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.

[Cicero]

I think he’s very smart.

Well, smarter than you are, Juan. I'll give you that.

"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."

Huh?

[rabscuttle385]

McCain is spouting gibberish? Not a surprise.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

In a way I’m glad that he’s not our President.

But on the other hand, both choices sucked.

[kcvl]

1994, the Democratic Party was dead.

No thanks to McCain!

[McGruff]

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.

[calcowgirl]

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.

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.

MCCAIN: At any time I stand ready, but the president has to lead. The administration has to lead with a proposal.

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.

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.
