Has John McCain "sold his soul" to win re-election?
It's a question that briefly flustered the self-ascribed maverick and 2008 presidential nominee when asked Sunday morning by Chris Wallace of Fox News - but it's also an accusation McCain, who defended having changed his position on several issues, is not alone in having to answer.
(snip)
McCain, along with South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham, called Sunday for a new "Contract with America," Newt Gingrich's political blueprint that helped give Congress back to the GOP in 1994.
But both senators - who once made their marks in Congress by seeking middle ground on hot-button policy issues like immigration and energy - seem to have shifted further to the right to make their case. McCain, who's seeking a fifth term in November, recently beat back a primary challenge from the right from former Rep. J.D. Hayworth.

Yes, very good point...I agree he is sincere.
Guess I'll just stay here and eat my strawberry shortcake alone...
McCain embraces the GOP's right (McCain, Graham and co-idiots want to lead SQUASH Tea Party)
These assh@les are not our leaders and they need to get that.
Opps!
Sorry for that mistake!
My father was Army Air Corps and then Air Force. Same as two uncles and a brother.
Only 3 of us saw fit to wear the Eagle, Globe and Anchor. Cousin is over in Afghanistan right now. He went back in after being out for a year after 3 tours in the “sandbox”. Didn’t want “his guys” to go without him.
OH PHALEASEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Leaders of the TP Party.
Oh Gee Onyx...I thought for sure you would have seen it. Wildfire saw it too as he was on the thread where it was posted....I’ll e-mail him and see if he knows where the video is...its fabulous!
Amen. But in the end free men don't need "Leaders". Only sheep do.
“To clarify the law and ensure that children born to United States citizens while serving overseas in the military are eligible to become President.”
McCaskill’s bill is a lie because it pretends to amend the Constitution with “shall” and “defines”. No law can amend the Constitution and she knew it. That is what amendments are for.
The Leahy subterfuge, which Obama signed, said: “Because he was born to American citizens, there is no doubt in my mind that Senator McCain is a natural born citizen,” said Leahy. “I expect that this will be a unanimous resolution of the Senate.”
The trick with SR 511 is that of course McCain was born to American citizens, but Obama wasn't, and no one except Nathan Deal let out a whisper (and Georgia Congressman Deal suddenly faced ethics charges). McCain's problem was 'jus soli' - he was not born on sovereign territory.
McCain should be prosecuted for soliciting campaign funds when he knew he was ineligible. His scheme had the effect of silencing any Republican questions about Obama’s patent ineligibility - if there is a Republican who might have put the Constitution ahead of his or her political ambitions.
Leaders of the TEA Party...I am still laughing
I am active in the TEA Party and neither one of those two ass hats are leading us anywhere. They are just a couple of roosters wanting to take credit for the sun rising.
Two assholes who were instumental in the Tea Party movement to begin with, as wearing the faux “Republican” next to their names, while being PLANTS for the Democrat Party.
LOL. Sharky didn’t mention dessert did he!
As always, you have the right idea!
God bless them all.
((((Right back around you)))))
but his BBQ sure sounded good
LOL. That’s right and don’t share with the Shark.
His BBQ’s always look and sound good. He brags to entice us, ya know, although I did ask him what he was cooking tonight.
