I love John McCain? Why would I love John McCain? He ran a HORRIBLE and idiotic campaign, saying all kinds of stupid things and political idiotic things all along the way, just like Barton.
Politics is a game of chess. Republicans have been playing checkers the last four years, and Barton appears to be playing marbles.
Defending BP during this crisis, when they actually deserve everything that is coming their way, is political suicide and profoundly stupid.
John McCAin was the consumate political windmill. He reached across the aisle so often, he had a permanent seat on the other side. He was so concerned with being politically correct and working together that he is the embodiment of what you are advocating.
