McCain and Graham have been part of the ruling class for many years and don’t want to be left out in the cold come January when the new Congress is sworn in. This is an attempt to be part of whatever power structure emerges from the November Elections.

I can see one or both of them stabbing the GOP in the back by doing a Kent Williams style deal with the Rats. Kent Williams was a newly elected state representative RINO from east Tennessee and was supposed to be one of the 50 GOP votes for the GOP speaker of the house candidate. Unknown to the GOP Williams had made a deal with the Rats so that HE would receive all 49 Rat votes for the speaker position and would vote for himself to break the tie. In return, Williams would appoint equal numbers of Rats and Republicans to ALL committees with either himself or the Rat House second in command to cast the tie breaking votes. It was not a good two years for Tennesseans.

Those who are in the TEA PARTY will have to drift off then and form a group under a different name...this group will do nothing to support and defend the constitution. And for what it is worth I think Newt will have his hat in the ring. I am sick of this “ Calista and I are talking” crap..we know who will toss the hat in the ring and he along with Romney for sure will.
Beck, for lack of a better description, is the Paul Revere of our time sounding the alarms. If only people will listen.

By the way,,I got an awful video..making the rounds I guess of a young girl who is stoned to death but a mob of men using the cell phones to record this murder..what was the crime? She refused to marry an old man her parents had arranged for her..so the mob threw her on the ground, stomped her, tossed rocks on her. You can see her trying to protect her head..until she is I suppose unconscious. They pull her up and drop her and her reaction is that of a rag doll thank God at this point...perhaps she is already gone...they then take a cinder block of concrete and drop it on her head, not once but twice until her head is smashed. Then they take her skirt and cover her legs....
This was not AlQueda or the Taliban..it was fulfillment of Shariah Law...and this is what kind of crap will worm it's way into our society because no one in govt will call a spade a spade...these RINOs will let this happen and then be shocked the first time it happens in the US.

What he needs to do is retire. Pride and averace prevent him from doing so.

He infuriates me! The contract with America that he’s talking about is NOT his idea. Again, he’s trying to steal the idea of the House Republicans.

He’d better be careful, because they’re going to write it and if he signs on, then he’ll have to abide by it, TO THE LETTER.

Sharky's probably off scaring the tourists again or something...

Just the escorts of the hot wimmin.

Hey, I think it's awesome how terrified McLettuce must be of the swing to the TEA party that even after he won he didn't tack to the left. I figure he will, but it's good he's holding on through the Nov election. It means the Obamacrats are not going to be able to pull off any lame duck crap after losing in November.

If nothing else JD's run at him has caused him to freeze, which is a good thing.

It’s a blatant attempt to make sure the ruling class is firmly in control of Congress come 2010, regardless of who is elected.

LOL. Ditto @ Calista and I.

Beck, for lack of a better description, is the Paul Revere of our time sounding the alarms. If only people will listen.

My husband, Dr.O, never misses Glenn Beck's TV program, he's the smartest man I've ever known and I've known and met a lot of smart and accomplished men.

McCain may sign on but he’ll never hold to ‘the letter’, the man is a fraud republican and the party never holds him accountable. He’s had his tentacles in the Washington beast for so long nobody takes him to the mat without fear he’ll twist one of those tentacles latched on to them!.... Of course we’ll never see term limits which would hault this...they’ll never vote against themselves even when the obvious is seen and heard from the people.

You can be sure, however, McCain will beg, borrow and steal from all sides to retain his “moderate” position. He is such a fraud!
