And Rightfully so! McCain is one of our wonderful Old-time Republicans that still think that they can change things by their moderate will! (That means that at least all the RINO Republicans and him will change things).

He has become a dinosaur of the Republican Party and does not know it. May all those that now control those party salute him and get on with it...

McCain is a sad figure now. He thinks it is 1978 and the GOP is in permanent minority and he has to pander to the Washington Post and New York Times to get a good mention on page 17.

He needs to retire.

"Good man, in the wrong time..."

Did you mean that like "Bless his little heart"?

Uh,.....have not read Tolkien for years. But didn't Hobbits save Middle Earth from the brink of total destruction at the Gates of Mordor.

And was not Middle Earth be the brink of destruction because the King of Gondor was more interested in power, wealth and position and could not be bothered to deal with the threat of Sauron’s rapidly increasing power until Sauron was so strong it was no longer with their power resist destruction.

I personally like the Hobbit analogy as allegory for the rise of out of control spending which threatens to destroy us because we refuse to accept that there exits an enemy with growing strength that is on the brink of destroying us.

Like Tolkien’s King Theoden, some old guard Republicans do not wish to risk open war on the Budget to get spending under control before it destroys us, but war is upon them whether they wish to risk it or not.

The the new Republican Hobbits are will to go all the way to Mordor to take the budget fight to the depths of Mt Doom to save the world.

Perhaps Mc Cain is onto something here and we should follow up on the whole Hobbit angle.

At the very least some fun could be had had identifying the current cast of Sauron, Gollom, Saruman and Grimer Wormtonge wanna be characters in our current drama in Mordor on the Potomac.

There sure as heck are not enough Gandaulf, Aragorn or Theodens stepping forward

I think Mc Cain is more like Saruman, a once admirable figure who has lost his way, has turned his coat and is secretly collaborating with the dark forces out of ambition and a desire keep his power if the dark side wins. To do so he is willing betray and undermine the forces he was once a champion of.

Harry Reid is more like Gollem IMHO. He even looks like Gollem.

Lots and lots and lots of competition for Grimer Wormtonge
