See I dont need a lot of Republicans to help me. And thats why I so admire John McCain. John McCain and I came to the House together 31 years ago. We came to the Senate together at the same time. He and I have fought over the years but were also very very good, good friends. And he broke away from the pack.
He said, in effect, we have to get some things done. So he doesnt control the Republican caucus but he controls probably 10 people there. Thats all I needed.
And we were able to get a lot of things done. We nominated scores, we confirmed scores of nominees. And because of him we were able to get immigration reform done. Weve been able to do some things.
But its because of John McCain breaking away from this ideological anarchy-driven Tea Party that has so much control over Republicans in Congress.

But its because of John McCain breaking away from this ideological anarchy-driven Tea Party that has so much control over Republicans in Congress. The problem isn't the Tea Party. The real problem is that corrupt Congress has broken away from its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

hile I respect John McCains service, he is acting like an enemy of the base of the Republican Party._
_——_-—————————————
Screw his service! I’m tired of hearing about it. He’s trying to destroy the country he served. The NVA screwed the US by letting this POS walk.If you have a problem with that too bad. He’s a cancer on this country and how long he served doesn’t change that fact. I’m sick of people giving this clown any recognition for anything he did.

He now has become the enemy of the Constitution he swore to uphold.

The Bastard is throwing the Constitution out of the window for political gains for the RATs,
his service means crap! He's a traitor to the USA, and the Constitution, and the party.

Dingy Harry is an evil, lying bastid. The anarchists are the progressives, not the TEA party. Occupy are the anarchists. The TEA party didn't print the name of legal gun owners, a liberal dishrag did. The 400+ filibusters are the result of his lawless majority.

...but he controls probably 10 people there.In a representative democracy, no senator should control another. This is why we need to eliminate the committee system that creates these dictators.
