The dems have seriously dropped off the left end of the board if they are even making McCain look conservative!

Once an A$$hole
Always an a$$hole.

No doubt Hannity will spend hours with him and have endless drivel just because he has an “r” behind his name. Not a rino he doesn’t love, but then talks all that “righteous B.S.”

Hannity did that very same thing with Romney this afternoon ....having Romney fast talk the glorious helth care he established in Mass a too sh.ts. You could tell Romney was trying to do a “fast sell” on something that turned out tbe be a disaster .. his disaster. He was animated and talking hunnerd mile an hour. Hannity had shivers up his leg .. wanted to know why the Feds couldn’t something as wonderful

Idiots amongst us.

Every time he’s up for re-election he starts making conservative noises. Nothing new here.

I originally wasn't for it. We would loose some good leaders. But the damage being done by career politicians can no longer be ignored. But this would require a Constitutional Amendment. Another way might be to simply demand the congressional retirement program be limited or greatly reduced if not entirely eliminated. That could be done in congress without an amendment needed. Pressure from taxpayers could force this happen.

BYW I wonder why Teddy K is being allowed to remain in the senate if he is no longer capable of being there and likely never will be again?

Third rule should be when Congress is not in session the members should return to their residence in their home state. Many haven't actually lived in their States likely in decades. Washington, DC should not be their residence. These are again rules congress can make.

quite honestly, McCain has usually been a fiscal conservative.

I agree with that. It's so freaking annoying that the one chance he had to really be a fiscal conservative (torpedo the 2008 bailout bill), he dropped the ball.

That graphic was so typical of our County GOP headquarters before Sarah was on the ticket. They couldn't give away McCain lawn signs. Once Sarah was on board, we couldn't keep them in stock.

Same with the volunteers. Before Sarah, there were only 2-3 people other than the paid staff working the phone banks. After Sarah, we had every phone going to the extent that there were only 2-3 phones vacant as new volunteers walked in.

Better luck next time.

I'll kiss helen thomas before voting for that two faced back stabbing SOB again.

If the (R) top dogs allow mcloonatic anywhere near the presidential election again, they have successfully committed suicide as a national party.

“I have a good way to clear up this immigration problem.....

No free healthcare, no free schools, no welfare of any kind for illegal aliens.

That will probably fix more than 80% of the problem right there.”

That was basically Ron Paul’s ‘border stance’ for years. Not that I disagree in theory, but congress, one white house after another and BAD court rulings have changed that prospect. There’s not a municipality in the entire country that seems to be able to cut them off without being sued out of their minds.

Not only immigration

I still have hopes that on CapNTax he may abandon the medieval darkness and come into the light.

“.....That and voters defunding the party including RNC and only send donations to individual candidates.”

Precisely, and that’s the way we do it here at the ranch.

He votes against pork most of the time, I’ll give him that. Good for you Johnny.

But he was also famously against Bush’s first tax cut and had to make up some BS excuse to explain his opposition away when the time came to run for President.

And he’s worked with democrats on many programs to enlarge the federal government and waste taxpayers dollars.
