I see what’s happening here. When Reid goes to change things and invoke the “Nuclear Option” McCain will then blame the Tea Party upstarts for causing it
God McCain sounds like a Democrat! He should change his party affiliation already. Don’t get me wrong, I salute his service and really think he went through hell as a POW.
However, that was then. This is now. McCain needs to go. Who does the Tea Party have in Arizona that can give him a run for his (wife’s) money?
That is exactly right, McCain is giving Reid cover.
McConnell is such a weak “leader” he probably doesn’t mind either. I don’t think McCain would be this far off the reservation again without some tacit approval from McConnell.
McConnell wants the Reid conference deal but doesn’t want to get his hands dirty in an election year. He probably doesn’t even mind the nuclear option because then the Dems can get everything they want through the senate in straight party line votes. No tough votes for the GOP Senators to take at that point.
These guys are sickening. Boehner & McConnell. Laurel and Hardy. Same old milquetoast loser strategy snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
