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.

Realizing that cap and trade, “energy,” is known widely to be corrupt is not going “right,” but retreating with embarassment.
Sharky's probably off scaring the tourists again or something...
that means they dont get it.
FUJM.
FU^ALG!
Ha! I bet that's what my husband thinks about me, esp lately, hahah.
Thank you for the thread link! I'll go check it out some more now... Good stuff to bookmark for when I'm fighting with the libs on the local paper board.
NO FRIKKING CHANCE. GOOD BYE.
stick with your kool aid Rinoism. Tea is for Patriots!
McCain and Graham have no credibility.
I vote NO on these two..They are RINOs of the first order..and with the likes of them nothing will ever improve.
“Many of us here predicted that RINO’s would co-op the Tea Party movement. Looks like that is about to happen.”
You can fool part of the people part of the time, but not all the tea partiers all the time.
I know a few tea groups have fallen for the lemonade spiked with LSD Rinoism. They better wise up fast.
Individually, they’re both awful, but together they’re gawd awful. They feed into one another like the Hillside Stranglers.
Lindsey has moments of brilliance, but I can’t say the same for McCain, except when his temper gets the best of him and he pops-off at Mullins for example, over the gays-in-the-military issue.
It’s really a shame and disgrace that both men occupy seats in states where good conservatives ought to be sitting.
I salute and thank you for your service. Dr.O is a USNA graduate also.
>Well thats an odd thing to say about Beck

WOW! I hadn’t seen that. Thanks for the info.
Though, I have to say that there are some things that could be considered divisive, like his statement that “bithers” are laughable; most people would call *me* a “birther” because I am of the opinion that the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land and should be followed... even on the points about age and birth requirements. Many things that Beck points out are rather prophetic, though he’s not infallible by any means (he admits to getting caught in the housing hype and being bitten by both bad timing and a bad estimation of the market’s future prices when buying houses).
If he’s referring to his message of non-violence for 8/28 then I could see how he might say that (though there are DEFINITELY better ways of expressing that idea). I myself disagree with Beck on the non-violence [at all costs] approach, there is a time when the people MUST stand for themselves, their families, and their fellow-man (the Book of Esther points this out, God provided a way for his people to band together and legally defend themselves even destroying their attackers; we have such legal authorization acknowledged/granted in the Declaration of Independence).
Listen to the second verse of our National Anthem:

If McCain is embracing the GOP right, Grahamnesty is the wrong guy to hug. He hasn’t even been pretending to be conservative.
LOL. I suspect Sharky is enjoying the last days of summer in his boat out on the lake.
Both of them can go straight to hell!!
>Thank you for the thread link! I’ll go check it out some more now... Good stuff to bookmark for when I’m fighting with the libs on the local paper board.
Thank you for the complement (that my reasoning/thought is good enough to reference).
Thanks I heard that great former American Marine yesterday..
Theres a thread...
God bless him...
Are you channeling the boss ???
Hi Onyx....have been catching up on threads...working all weekend! Blah!
Well as far as these two go we all know what they are...the problem is they don’t seem to realize the public is on to them....when Arizona voted for McCain that simply boosted his over-inflated opinion of himself...he sees the handwriting on the wall come this election...he’ll play his Rino cards bigtime til then...get some public speaking engagements and roll in the dough for awhile...but when this traitor hits Washington we’ll see him play the same ol’ games...he’ll vote against the party as always..worse against the people!
This contract for america is a bogus idea...can’t they see we are fed up with the checklists they come up with..but when they have it in their power to act they blow out quicker than a balloon filled with hot air!
I soooooooo dislike McCain...second in line to my disdain for BO.
