McCain: tea-party 'foolish' on balanced budget (McCain rips Tea Party - THANK YOU, SARAH PALIN!)
Politico ^ | 2011-07-27

Veteran Sen. John McCain has had enough with tea-party-aligned lawmakers who have vowed not to vote to raise the debt ceiling before passage of a constitutional balanced budget amendment.

The Arizona Republican, the GOP’s 2008 presidential nominee, described their position as “foolish,” “deceiving, even bizarro,” given Americans’ anxiety about the sliding stock market, a halt on hiring and the possibility of higher interest rates related to the looming default.

McCain is on Hannity right now, he appears to be saying the Republicans are going to get the blame if there is a default so they should essentially take what ever crumbs they can get our “generous” president to throw them and declare victory (at least that’s my interpretation). Such political courage from our former presidential candidate... /sarcasm off

Without her direct and willful interference in the 2010 Arizona primary election, McCain would have gone down in flames for the last time.

Wrong. AZ has an open primary system. That is how McCain survived

I tell ya that Sarah Palin has tremendous powers..she forced the people of Arizona to go to the polls and vote for the guy she was campaigning for..its unreal, how does she do it..she literally made people get out of bed that morning and walk like zombies to their polling places and vote for McCain
(if you can tell Im being sarcastic of course..its absolutely ridiculous to blame Sarah Palin for McCain winning in Nov, blame the people of Arizona who actually voted for the guy, NOT her)
