Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has just vanquished his uber-right, Tea Party-backed primary challenger, J.D. Hayworth. So what’s on McCain’s schedule, now that he doesn’t have to satisfy a fringy primary electorate? Through a little creative reporting, I managed to get a copy of his day planner:

-Call Lindsey Graham. Explain that junkmail filter trapped all those e-mails he sent me begging for help on climate change this year. Install junkmail filter software so this excuse seems plausible.

(snip)

-Come out in favor of comprehensive immigration reform -- again. Sprinkle gratuitous Spanish phrases into my speeches. ¡Obamanos! Okay, maybe not that one.

-Call President Obama. Finally level with him about promises to cooperate after the last election. Yeah, I kind of had to say that.

(snip)

-Remind Republican voters that Obama isn’t a Muslim. This sort of thing worked so well the first time.

I predicted that last night.

We all knew it. The people in AZ who voted for him are fools.

[nomad]

Do they also predict dawn will come tomorrow morning? Another victory for Captain Obvious!

[cunning_fish]

Say Captain Downed:)

[CapnJack]

What is it they say “if the voters have a choice between a dem and a dem, they will always pick the dem”.

Well then, maybe all those who voted for JD, should write him in again in November.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Of course one trick mcpony will go back to shilling for the criminal invaders.

Anyone who actually buys into his lies needs a smack up side the head with a shovel.

In before the obligatory Sarah Palin blame!

I`m tempted to not lift a finger to help them again. After all the donations I gave to Brewer`s fight for AZ SB1070 web site, then the @$$#oles of AZ vote for the very leftist who`ll fight to overturn it! WHAT A BUNCH OF FRICKIN RETARDS!

[Red Steel]

Anyone taking bets?

[nomad]

Amen! I hope McLame loses. We`ll make it up in other races,enough to stalemate till 2012 when we`ll be stronger. And that seat will eventually come back but that would deny a tried and true double agent traitor the opportunity to undermine the fight for true Conservatives.

Let the records show that you are the one who brought her up first.

[nomad]

Well now some “conservatives” will be able to experience the kind of buyer`s remorse that, till now, only Obozo voters have been able to.

McCain was a 'throw away' in the last Presidential Election. He knew he wasn't going to win. He was there basically to 'round out the tickets'. Just like in On the Waterfront it wasn't his night as the Progressives were goin' for the price on the other guy. Even if there had been an 'unexpected' upset the left was safe with McCain as he is almost as Progressive as Obama.

Now he will find a way to pass on his Senate position to his wacko left wing offspring. IMHO

>> Let the records show that you are the one who brought her up first.

LOL.

I expect McCain to move Left immediately.

[rabscuttle385]

I expect McCain to move Left immediately.

[nomad]

Really, wonder if we have his permission to dump on her now?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Let the records show that you are the one who brought her up first.

The thread was going to be hijacked sooner or later!

BTW I predict McCain won't win the general.

[nomad]

But you know, many of us no longer pay her much attention anymore, she`s proving her principles are with the “lesser of two evils crowd”. But can YOU tell me, since no others have been willing to answer the question: Has the compromise of the “lesser of two evils” actually stopped or reversed the trend towards bigger government?

[NavVet]

You and a few million other people.
