Why on earth did John McCain just rescue Chuck Hagel’s nomination? Why did he go on Meet the Press this morning to say that Chuck Hagel was going to get confirmed as Secretary of Defense?

Why in the hell is McCain the "go to" guy in the GOP anyway?
His days of "the MAVERICK John McCain" ended with the 2008 election........We've never heard that moniker since........
RIGHT ON! This also is what 95% of the (R)s have & will continue to do.
Same point made when McCain was the candidate. Conservatives should have stayed home in large numbers in the general election. In the primary, they should not support a candidate just because the candidate that truly represents conservative politics is viewed as not electable.
There will be no effect conservative movement until it lays down the gauntlet. That is withholding a vote for the likes of McCain.
So having a Socialist like Obama in the White House is preferable to a RINO?
I’m sorry, but I just don’t follow your logic...
No, because conservatives did not make a stand, we have Obama in the White House. The GOP put up an unelectable candidate because it did not feel it needed to take in conservatives.
Not only is McCain a shill for the libs, he relishes sticking conservatives in the back.
Here is a more concise answer....
