"I have not seen anything like this in the years I have been a member of Congress. It's a peaceful revolution but I think it is a revolution we're seeing," Arizona's senior Senator John McCain says after a series of health care town halls.
McCain was in Oro Valley to deliver the final address to the annual conference of Arizona's League of Cities and Towns.
When asked what was the one thing that surprised him most about the town halls he replied, "the anger."
McCain believes that anger is being displayed not by professional protestors but by people who are expressing their frustration for the first time.
That's why he believes it's the making of a revolution against business as usual in Washington, D.C.

Sometime shortly after the 2k elections, poor Johnny came up half deaf. About that time, he saw the Conservatives dropping their pants and pointing their hind ends across the aisle, but due to his hearing problem, he could not hear the rude expulsions emanating from his colleagues.
Being in an aisle seat, though somewhat bewildered, poor Johnny sought to mimic his fellows - So dropping his britches, he bared his hiney toward the other side... The Democrats did what Democrats do... True love ensued... And the rest is history.

Thx for the ping rabs
And he wants to help Obama make it happen.
John, ya got a smoking hot woman with a f'ing brewery.... go home....just go home..
I believe it's called a reach around.
Mr. Co-opt.
Don’t worry. McCain will find some way to stab us in the back. He cannot help it. That’s his nature.
generally McCain is about one to two weeks behind the curve, LITERALLY.
