McCain vs. the Tea Party
New York Times ^
Posted on 07/27/2011 11:53:56 AM PDT by Windy City Conservative
Mr. McCain mocked Tea Party-allied Republicans in the House for believing — wrongly, he said — that President Obama and Democrats will get the blame for a default if Republicans refuse to increase the nation’s debt ceiling. By that flawed logic, “Democrats would have no choice but to pass a balanced budget amendment and reform entitlements and the Tea Party Hobbits could return to Middle Earth,” he said, quoting a Wall Street Journal editorial. “This is the kind of crack political thinking that turned Sharron Angle and Christine O’Donnell into G.O.P. nominees,” he jeered, referring to two losing Tea Party candidates for the Senate in 2010.

Shove it up your smelly Obama, McRINO...if you can find room besides your head.
Go away and die somewhere, please.

He wouldn’t be saying this if he was up for re-election anytime soon. What a two-faced SOB.

McCain has “reached across the isle” so many times, I think he's permanently residing on the left side of the isle. It's time for McCain and some other RINO’s to hang it up.

The Tea Party's greatest achievement to date is to flush out those anti-American self centered politicians and make them show themselves for what they truly are.

My vote in 2008 was “love her, can’t stand him.” It hasn’t changed.

How soon is McCain going to announce that he is officially in the Democrat Party, since he has been carrying their water anyway? Is he still supporting us arming the Muslim Brotherhood (aka al-Qaeda) in Libya? How soon will he retire?

What a hateful, stupid old coot he is! I can see where his daughter got her IQ. Always willing to bend over backwards for Democrats and never hesitates to stab Republicans in the back.
To: Windy City Conservative
It has been for a long time. He calls the Tea party hobbits? He agrees with Reid?
AZ deserves to get everything the Mexicans can bring them.
