Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is continuing to criticize his fellow Republicans for their filibuster of incoming CIA Director John O. Brennan over drone policy. In an interview with the Huffington Post, McCain referred to Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) as

And just to beat a dead horse, did Paul, Rubio or Cruz bother or even think to criticize McCain’s stupid dinner with Obama? They could have but they showed the proper respect for their fellow senator.

McCain is just outrageously wrong here. Embarrassingly so..

Note he is talking not about substance, but about who gets the most attention. Pathetic.

why is he doing this? he rarely criticizes the libs

Job security. Mr. McCain wants to stay on the Gravy Train and the only way to do that is to perpetually kiss-butt the Liberals/Dems.

McCain has been a symptom of the illness that rages throughout Washington infecting the political elites. I’m certain they look upon Congress as a one party club and woe be unto them who rock the boat!

Arizonans unite! Get this RINO out of Washington!

I think McCain is working for the democrats. He knows he can do more damage working from the inside, and he’s not the only one doing that. At this point I think he and his rino “friends” should just leave; go over the dark side where they belong. They won’t be missed.

Mass exposure of these hacks are the only thing positive about Obama being in power.

May the Tea Party get energized, for this is their moment to take it to the next level…

“Wacko Bird” is a good description of McLame himself. He must be projecting. He said these three Tea Partiers didn’t reflect the mainstream GOP. Well, he’s correct in that regard, but then the mainstream GOP no longer represents the American conservatives. People sometimes forget that McPain is a closet DemoRat. I wonder why McPain didn’t just jump to the DemoRat party in 2001, when he came close to doing so and had the chance or become John Kerry’s vice presidential running mate in 2004 when Kerry asked him to. He might just as well have become a DemoRat. Because it sure is hard to tell that he is a Republican anymore. He needs to retire before he embarrasses his own party any worse than he already has. Old horses must go eventually. Put him out to pasture, Arizona. Please.

AND while McCain will not even allow the use of Obama’s middle name, McCain allowed Colin Powell to accuse him of being an anti Muslim racist!

“They were elected, nobody believes that there was a corrupt election, anything else,”

Nice McCain. And you just eat beef, nobody believes you eat puppies, anything else.

DemonRATS win in obviously corrupt elections with proven vote fraud and McCain can't wait to embrace them. Republicans win in very honest elections and McCain smears them with innuendo.

He’s really going to freak out as he realizes he is history

I think this is the crux of the problem. The Tea Party elected members are young and effective. They show how sclerotic the old guard really are. McCain goes out to dinner with the O; Rand Paul holds a 13 hour fillibuster that simply mesmerizes the nation. Add to that, Ted Cruz really taking it to the (obviously) affirmative action Holder, during questioning before a Senate committee. I almost felt sorry for him; but, I really enjoyed watching Cruz work.

New blood threatening the old order, and they don't like it.

McCain is EVERY BIT the enemy of America, as much as Obama is.

In 2008, we were given a choice.

One one hand, we could vote for bitter, nearly-insane lyng marxist idealogue, and a murdering friend of the Police State and tyrannical oppression.

Or, we could vote for Obama.

JohnnyMac either has shifted to, or has always had, the leftist humanist worldview,

from which he concludes that you can “trust government”.

The founders based this country on the inherent DISTRUST of government.

John McCain and Lindsey Graham are now playing the roles of Cinderella’s ugly, nasty, bitter sisters. The new kids, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, have moved into the spotlight and might...gasp...provide results beneficial to liberty and our founding principles. That makes John and Lindsey just so bitchy. Don’t the new kids know that John and Lindsey live for media attention? How inconsiderate.

BTW, that song used to be on you tube and all over the web. Story was that McCain managed to get most of anything adverse to him removed...and guess what, I can’t find it anywhere except on my blog now.

McCain has forgotten Reagan’s 11th Commandment: Thou shall not speak evil against another Republican. He is making a mistake that a rookie politician wouldn’t make—but he thinks he is entitled by his long tenure.

If the people of a particular state have elected McCain, so be it—until someone can beat him. As people age and forget their constituencies at home they are removed by younger candidates with non-beltway ideas. It happened to Lugar.

Meanwhile, before he is brought onto the Sunday shows to demonize the new Tea Party breed of Republicans, some party elders should take him aside and remind him that we are all in this together.
