“Let’s have some straight talk here, my friends, let’s have some real straight talk. The system is broken. I hope you appreciate that to do nothing would be unacceptable.”

The system is broken because statist meddlers broke it.

I swear, McCain's type of stupid is incurable.

Here’s some straight talk for you McLame. I hate your guts, you’re an asshole, and I want to smash you in the face with a brick.
I wish McLame would be subjected to the same kind of health care he wants to stick us with. With that kind of care we would finally be rid of this bastard. He would of died two years ago of cancer.

Thanks for your post, “Any Republican that wants bipartisanship or believes in compromise needs to be voted out of office “

McCain has some words that he uses over and over that make me want to holler “ralph” into the toilet every time he says them.
My friends
Bipartisanship
Hands across the aisle
Comprehensive immigration reform.

McCain has just become another actor on the phony political stage in Washington. For him to be kissy-sucky with light in the loafers Gramnesty tells a lot about this man.
It really is a shame. McCain served our country honorably, was a prisoner of war who underwent extremely harsh punishment, and could have gotten out of that prison by giving in just a little to his captors. To his great credit, he did not cave.

Straight talk my tukus!

If McCain was being honest (a real conservative) he would recommend TORT REFORM, getting rid of UNFUNDED MANDATES for insurers, allowing INTERSTATE COMPETITION etc.

I wish he would go away.

Actually, GOP can do "something" :

1. They can point out that states can have their own, independent, not one-size-fits-all programs if they want to - something like "States are laboratories of democracy - don't nationalize our health care!"


Don't let Federal government bankrupt your state with Universal Health Care...

... when you can do that to your own state yourself!

2. Where is at least one "shadow Senator" who would run in the primaries against John McCain and would criticize and make known McCain's votes, initiatives and ideas (or lack of them) and provide his own, opposite or more constructive views? It's a great way for someone(s) to gain visibility and credibility and "political capital" without spending a lot of money, and become a go-to person and serious opponent in the primary and/or general election.

Every elected RINO and/or "conservative Democrat" in conservative states and districts should have at least one "shadow Representative" or "shadow Senator" to be ready to take on those who do not serve constituents' interests and put their feet to the fire of scrutiny, so they can't get away with being duplicitous - one person in D.C., another at home. And that's how constituents will know who really deserves their vote in the primaries and general elections.

If Arizona / McCain doesn't have a "shadow Senator" by now, then when? ... and in that case, is not all of this really just "full of sound of fury, signifying nothing"?

Unforunately, until people in AZ find a good, strong conservative who can win against him in the primary, there’s not much we can do.

McPain says “my friends” every other sentence like a teenie bopper says “like, you know” or “dude” every other sentence. Grates on the nerves like sandpaper. He may have served his country honorably when he fought in Vietnam and was a prisoner under the commies all those years, but he talks like a condescending schoolmarm or headmaster “correcting” his students.

This is why the Republican base voted for Sara. Without her, McCain wouldn't have even been on the political radar.

He's done more to hurt the Republican base than any other politician in American history, and he's done it for nothing more than a few kind words in a lousy liberal news paper.
I can't understand why anyone votes for this back stabber. Do they have some kind of a death wish or something?

I wanted bipartisanship for many years. I'm sure many others were like me.

But the Dems have proven time and again that they will not work on a bipartisan basis, unless they are out of power. Then, it is something they demand and demand loudly. They demand that we COMPROMISE! Republicans capitulate. When Dems return to power, bipartisanship simply means "you must agree with us"!
