So the debt limit debate has come to this: John McCain, who you may recall was the GOP’s 2008 standard bearer, is now openly accusing conservatives of actively misleading America with their completely unrealistic demands, which he labeled “deceiving” and “bizarro.” In a seminal moment in this debate, here’s some video of McCain on the Senate floor today, unleashing an angry tirade at conservatives who are still holding out for a balanced budget amendment as part of any compromise on the debt ceiling. McCain accused them of “deceiving” America into believing such a thing can pass the Senate:

Juan ain’t been right since the commies got done with him.
It is sad, but true.
OK. Just listened to it.
He’s lost his marbles. Either that, or maybe somebody else is writing his stuff. Do you think he’s even ever watched a Lord of the Rings movie?
When we re-write the Constitution after the approaching revolution, let’s not forget the term limits.
I’m not sure he was paid. I think he’s a volunteer.
It wasn’t that long ago that McCain was veering right in order to get re-elected. This is a man who will lick a conservative boot for votes and then kick the voter in the teeth once he feels it’s safe to do so.
The sad fact is, voters have short memories and McCain knows this. We are getting the government we deserve, good and hard.
McCain is absolute scum of the earth. How many times in how many ways does he have to prove it?
I have something much harsher I'd like to say but it would prob get deleted.
And this is why McCain almost lost the conservative vote in 2008.....
Ditto
He "thought" he was picking the worst possible VP he could, and boy did he! The worst for the dims like him!
The problem is the money, not the finance.
With sound money (a//k/a constitutional money), everything, including correct incentives and a (mostly) balanced budget, falls into place.
With unlimited borrowing and money creation, nothing can work properly.
The Revolution and forms of government created pursuant to it were entirely cognizant of human nature.
To live peacefully with credit-based consumption and free money, men would have to be angels, and they are not.
“I don’t know why he doesn’t just join the Democrats.”
Because he knows he can do more damage to the Republican party by being on the inside. If he was a donk, what he says could be written off as being an obama/donk party loyalist. But as a Republican,,,now that really gives the msm something to put their teeth into.
Been waiting for the RINOs to shriek.
Because he's a plant, and he's more effective for them as the ‘rogue’ Republican.
Because far too many supposed Republicans bought into the idea that ‘electability’ is the paramount reason to chose someone as candidate...
...instead of choosing a candidate based on who is the closest to their own political beliefs.
It was MCain who came charging back to Washington in the 2008 campaign to oppose TARP, only to turn around and support it. That was the watershed moment in the campaign and McCain sided with the establishment doomsayers and con-artists. His current statements are consistent with his past positions - the charade of conservatism, masking a core of RINO/Dem convictions. McCain’s motto is “talk loudly and poke a stick in the eye of conservatives”
Dude.
The GOP IS "these RINOs".
Didn't your grandma ever tell you that you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear?
Any BBA which could possibly pass Congress would not, could not, do what we need.
A much better idea for the States would be to introduce and ratify a Sound Money Amendment.
Restricting Congress' power to borrow money, together with specifying permissible monies and abolishing the "Federal" Reserve would do what a BBA could never do.
He’ll be just like Ted Kennedy. Only death will drag him away from destroying this country.
I actually went into my local Party HQ and asked for a Palin bumper sticker. They gave me one that said "McCain/Palin." I aske the girl at the desk to wait a second I went to my car, retrieved a box cutter and cut McCain's name off the sticker and told the desk girl,"You can keep this part."
