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 nations 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 ODonnell into G.O.P. nominees, he jeered, referring to two losing Tea Party candidates for the Senate in 2010.

Popcorn eating doesn't get much better than this.
No 3rd Party will be immune to human nature, human pride, and human stupidity.
Control the Republican Party, this is the only plan that will work!
John McCain is too clueless it is the USA vs DC and this time he is on the side of the enemy.
(Third Party) Best plan for four more of zer0. No doubt here.
My God! He really doesn't know what he looks like to the sane, intelligent part of the country, does he?
Yes it is Tea Party time!
McCain is a huge part of why we are in this debt problem. AZ....HE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED!!!
I also still believe that whoever decides to run for President should have to resign their seat in either the House or Senate! They take all that time to run. Don’t do their job but then they still have their other cushy job when they don’t win!
Oh McCain.....You've done it again!!!
I truly don’t believe there is time to purge through elections. I don’t think this country will survive.
The one thing that gets me through the day is that all of this MUST be God’s will.

3rd Party Time?

Not this cycle. Time to put down some survey stakes though. Depending on the results in 2012, be ready to move in 2013 or reinforce success if there is any.
Nobody seems to correlate the rising debt ceiling with declining jobs.
The rising debt ceiling has two consequences....
more regulation ...
to occupy employees in expanding federal bureaucracies...which expand because they have more money and another layer of bureaucrats need their 20 year promotions... Each round of regulatory expansion is the effective equivalent of another targeted tax increase on the object of the regulation.
more taxes...
The rising debt ceiling has demands and expectations of creditors for new elements of revenue raising by the Feds...taxes or fees.
In this strangling environment job creation is simply NOT possible.
In fact the only logical conclusion..can be ..is that the Federal apparatus -initially an asset to the United States..by virtue of its abilities to raise an effective Navy in the late 1700s, and early 1800s to facilitate overseas trade on behalf of the States, has become nothing other than the States greatest liability at this point in time. In the absence of profound regulatory and taxation reform-which is not capable of coming from the same minds that created the problem..we may well be at the end of the line.
“McCain is correct. The media will certainly see to it that Democrats wont get any blame.”
And he never helps things with his mouth either...
He just wants to be the media’s little darling.
Last time I checked, the hobbits saved Middle Earth.
“There is only one Lord of the Ring! Only one who can bend it to his will. And he. does. not. share. power!”
3rd party's don't work in our winner take all system. You'd just split the right of center vote and guarantee Democrats win everything - even in bright red states.
The Republican party will get more conservative each election cycle if movement conservatives and the Tea Party activists stay involved and VOTE in every primary.
I could not in conscience vote for McCain. His statements on the campaign trail promised us a slower version of the Obamanist death. As terrible as this Administration is, its faster pace towards Hell has woken up a lot of Americans. In this wakeup, we have a hope to turn the tide. McCain needs to realize that those who reject his temporizing with self-destruction, are not going away. Nor will we be intimidated by his calumny.
I am not a member of any tea party--although I have spoken at a couple of small tea party rallies. But they deserve our praise, even as McCain deserves our condemnation.
For one of many examples of how I think Obama should have been handled, when McCain had the chance:
William Flax
I can't argue with you...we haven't been very obedient children for quite a while, and it appears He is putting the belt to our hindquarters.
If it wasn’t for the Tea Party (voting for Palin) his stupid old ass would have crashed earlier than it did.

Palin needs to kick JUAN firmly and irreversibly to the curb.
“Tea Party Hobbits could return to Middle Earth”
I guess he never read LOTR, or else he thoroughly misread it.
