Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) praised a backup plan by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to raise the debt ceiling.

“I strongly support Senator McConnell’s efforts to avoid a default on our nation’s debt, and the last-case emergency proposal he outlined yesterday to ensure that Republicans aren’t unduly blamed for failure to raise the debt ceiling," McCain said in a statement on Wednesday.

Scumbag traitor!

When John McCain and Harry Reid are in your corner and Jim Demint is not, you must ask yourself “Where did I go wrong?”

I really despise the words “scumbag” and “traitor.” How about “asshole?”

Knowing that rabscuttle385 keeps very close tabs on John "we are so screwed" McCain is yet another answer to the question

What is the value of Free Republic?

Every time this douche opens his mouth I am brutally reminded that I had to vote for him.

I don’t know what this does for the Senate Republican Caucus but I’ll bet it spells the death knell for Senator McConnell’s plan in terms of conservative public opinion.

Yo, McQueeg... how about LEADING... as in, pass austere legislation and push it to Obama?

Thank God this man didn't get elected. I see very little evidence he'd have been any better... and his failure would've permanently taken Sarah Palin down with him.

STFU. No one gives a flying fart what you say

FUJM!!!

[choctaw man]

It’d be nice not to see any comment or proposed legislation from Mr. McCain...happy retirement, on our dime sir! Please go out quietly.

If McCain is for it...I’m agin’ it! RINO Alert!

“ensure that Republicans aren’t unduly blamed “

If ‘Public Relations Uber Alles’ is the point Johnny is ruining the show by stating a petty, selfish reason for the proposal.

[TomGuy]

So does Reid.

So does many of the Dems.

So does the Washington Post.

Those should say all we need to hear about McConnell’s plan. I doubt they even considered any unintended consequences.

That’s how I read it. Couldn’t ask for a more damning endorsement.
