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.

McNut is doing to the Tea Party what he did to his running mate, stab them in the back.

Seems like just yesterday he was in front of CPAC assuring us he was a “conservative in the tradition of Ronald Reagan.”

To McCain: The House has passed their budget plan. Shut up and vote on it.

Shut the hell up McLame. People stopped caring what you had to say decades ago. You’re like Jimmy Carter. You keep talking yet nobody wants to hear you.

Just shut up and go away.

Oh, and take Carter and Ron Paul with you.

When Rino fools like McStain drive the Tea Party out of the GOP, it will still be our fault because we didn’t fall in line like good little ungrateful children.

I have come to despise this RINO like all the rest of them. The only thing they stand for is; what’s in it for me? I remember him telling us over and over what a good man Obama was. Well, for those that listened to him and has been proven a liar, how do you like Obummer the communist now?

And I voted for Sarah, not McRino.

McInsane is a worthless scum bag. This guy (can’t really call him a man) is a corrupt degenerate who left his wife after she became crippled and married a junky thief. He was the only one of the Keating Five who personally profited from his illegal acts.

He is a stain on the society and a disgrace to the Senate.

Thanks, Sarah, for supporting this freak for Senate, again.

If the Tea Party were to form the GOP would be the third party!

Is there a point when someone like McCain who is a "war hero" (aka bad pilot in his case as far as I'm concerned) who has done so much damage he no longer deserves respect for his past?

If there is I'd say McCain surpassed that point long ago.

I recall meeting McCain in AZ and while he was here in Texas. He was an absolute p$ick. He would not listen to anyone else. Once he decided things were a certain way he just spat at anyone else who did not agree with him. After being around him a bit I knew he would never get elected. He is a douche.

McCain ought to buy a pallet of viagra, go home and "hit" his lady until he keels over. She is pretty hot. My impression of her when I was around them was that she puts up with him. I did not see much affection.

It is utterly inconceivable that a warrior-prisoner who has fought and suffered for this country to dishonor the values and commitment of the Tea Party constitutents (whether formal or in sentiment) by such talk.

My only conclusion is that his brains as well as his body were ruthlessly beaten. The other alternative? This man is just plain certifiably crazy or he has succumbed to the lure of wealth and power and ITB approval.....either way he just needs to fade away and shut up.

3rd Party Time?

Not for me, but it's time to get McRat the Ranting Rino out of my party. Neither Angle nor O'Donnell was the worst Republican nominee in recent elections. That honor belongs to the McRat. He turns my stomach.

I just called his office in Washington and told him that a Tea Party Hobbit was calling and wanted him to know I voted for Palin and not him. Good Day

I've seen that movie before. Problem is, it never ends. It just goes on and on and on and...

We've been trying to "clean" the GOP since 1964, but RINOs are like cockroaches. They keep coming up through the cracks.

The GOP is the "new" Whig party. And we know what happened to them.

It's time.

I would have to say (on the call): John, did Reid tell you to wave that white flag?

A slash and burn policy? Nothing will be recognizable when the dust settles.
