Sen. John McCain ruffled America’s already disheveled political feathers today with a Senate floor rant mocking the Tea Party’s position on the debt ceiling debate comparing them to hobbits and disparaging them for turning Sharron Angle and Christine O’Donnell into Republican nominees. Unsurprisingly, Sean Hannity had a bone to pick with the senator tonight on those comments, and on his opinion that the Republicans will get the blame for a debt default if they do not compromise.
Hannity came out swinging at Sen. McCain, wondering why the senator had turned on the Tea Party– “why not attack the President?” Sen. McCain corrected that he did intend to attack the Tea Party but that he disagreed with their obstinacy, especially if it would mean a plan like that of Sen. Harry Reid’s– “one of the most flimsy, transparent, phony spending cut things, proposals, that I’ve ever seen”– being put into law. The alternative to Hannity, however, was Republicans “competing with themselves, which infuriates me a little bit.” He noted that the Rep. Paul Ryan plan in the House was a good start, and that “the House Republicans voted to repeal Obamacare,” all things it frustrated him not to see in the Senate.

McCain is an idiot! Republicans to blame? Tea party to blame? Give me a break!
We’ve been warning the big spenders that a day of reckoning will come. We warned them against big spending. We warned them against stealing from our grandchildren. When Obama came into office the US had at least four trillion dollars in borrowing power. He burned through it like there was no tomorrow. Now it’s gone and he wants to burn more? And what do we have to show for it? Nothing!
The day of reckoning has arrived.
To hell with Obama! To hell with McCain! Time to put Obama in receivership, though a straitjacket would be preferable. The man is a certified lunatic and McCain is no better. From this point forward the Republican House should make Obama come hat in hand for every damn dollar he wants to spend! No blank checks! The House should tightly control the spending, period! Obama has proven he can’t be trusted with a credit card.
The day of reckoning is coming. I cannot WAIT for the next election.
Actually we need to disparage tho ones that turned McCain into the nominee for president in 2008.
He’s stealing my oxygen!!!
