McCain Warns Bachmann She is acting “sort of like Senator Obama did.” Over in the House, “I am told that it is very difficult,” McCain says. “There are Republicans who are committed, like Michele Bachmann, to vote against raising the debt limit under any circumstances.” Bachmann, he warns, is acting “sort of like Senator Obama did.” In 2006, then-senator Obama refused to lift the debt limit. Speaking on the floor, Obama ascribed his opposition to the “failure” of George W. Bush to address the country’s fiscal problems. McCain has little patience for such posturing. He tells me that political disagreement with the president — any president — should not jeopardize the credit rating of the United States. “What some of my colleagues on the Republican side don’t understand is that sometime before August 2, the markets would start reacting in a negative fashion,” McCain says. “Sure, we might be able to divert funds from one pot to another to keep things going, but that’s not what the president is going to do.” Read the rest here.

It’s sad that this fool still calls himself a republican.....
That’s exactly what the US needs to face down the Dems. Irresistible force (Rat Party), I am pleased to introduce you to immovable object (Bachmann).
STFU McShame!
You’re irrelevant in my opinion.
mclame needs to buy carbon credits to offset his waste of oxygen.
If they are forced to stop printing money the markets will indeed pull back, as well they should....
Hope she’ll use McInsane’s words against him to raise campaign funds. He’s such a douchebag.
Okay folks, can anyone figure out a reason why we never go out and champion a bastard like this for re-election yet?
Only five and a half more years of this gift that keeps on giving...
Aw heck McCain, why don’t you create a third party. It will siphon more votes from Obama than it would from Bachmann, Palin, Cain, or even Romney.
Abject loser Democrat counsels winner Conservative Bachmann....
Say what you will McCain, but Obama’s advanced the leftist football pretty far down the field. Wouldn’t it be nice if we had Republican politicians who were willing to advance our agenda in the same way that Obama has advanced his leftist agenda.
After all....the statement comes from mcloser!
Absolutely amazing....he still doesn't get it!
If that isn’t rich from MAVERICK McCain!!!
He knows that 0bama postured and still beat him, right?
Don’t blame me. I gave money to J.D. Hayworth.
Who picked August 12 out of the air? Why doesn’t the president present a budget? Why doesn’t he commit to superfluous government program cuts, including lowering the gigantic salaries and benefits of government workers rather than eye Social Security and Medicare which we pay for?
August 2.
Yes the wise sage McCain. Best advice is to do the opposite of what he says.
