U.S. Sen. John McCain says the Arizona Republican Party’s censure of him over the weekend may just motivate him to run for a sixth term. […]

… McCain tells The Associated Press he has a strong conservative voting record and led the fight in the Senate against Obama’s health care plan. He blames the censure on uninformed “extremist” party elements. …

Recalling him is unconstitutional.

The fact that McCain allowed himself to be photographed with George Soros AFTER being censured pretty much tells you that this guy is totally out of touch with those that vote for him.

Do you think the Censure vote was meant to “bully” him? The main purpose of the vote was to strip him of any funding from the State Party.

Sure, give a big government RINO more power than he deserves. (Medicare part D, cap & trade, individual mandate, Freddie Mac, DOE, TARP, ad nauseam.) Just because he has the will doesn’t mean he deserves the power.

The only way to get “big money” out of politics is to get “big ramifications” out of government. As long as Big Government can destroy business on a whim, those businesses are going to pump money in, either for relief, or to destroy their competition.

Like any liberal, McQueeg is all-in on the government side, which is why that law is misguided.

What happened in the GOP to go from McCain for President to McCain who is censured? ????

I sent a donation to their campaign specifically because Palin was on the ticket.

As an Arizonan, I am very sorry you did that. McQueeg didn't spend your money to defeat Obastard, but rather to defeat the Primary challenger he had two years later. He went into that race with a world-record sized warchest, left over from '08.

As for Sarah Palin, she just lost me.

Mighty good question. It started when he endorsed Obastard two weeks before the election, throwing the race. He followed that act by saving a big piece of the donations to the Presidential campaign in order to destroy a Primary challenger from the right. It's noteworthy the Censure came from the floor of the annual Convention, and not from the leadership who tried to stop it.

And the big money stayed in politics and it is helping RINOs stay elected because they are voting for the things that the big money wants like amnesty, extension of H1B programs, government takeover of health care, etc.

Thanks. It seems you are posting that the GOP did not change, McCain fell off the platform.

Correct. Make no mistake, the GOPe is still at war with us. Chinless and Bonehead still want us gone. This was a floor fight, and it’s very telling that McQueeg lost it. This response from him is pure petulance. A tiny, tiny man indeed.

May? LMAO

This prick didn’t fool me from day one, of his promise not to run again. He can’t break away from the power he wields in Washington. He’s bell of both balls back there.

He’s the prince of the Left, and the prince of the Right. Even our favorite “Conservatives” can’t help but canonize the guy in public.

You do have to feel sorry for him though, losing Ted Kennedy at that time in his life.

Well, at least he still has Soros, Obama, and Kerry in his corner...

The question that always comes to mind with her and him, is what else does she just not get?

RE :”The question that always comes to mind with her and him, is what else does she just not get?”

This post says she is lying in her defense of Mccain, that she really is just saying this because she is grateful that he made her the most powerful political woman in the country.

The Real Reason Sarah Palin Defended John McCain( Yahoo Voices ^ | January 28, 2014 | )

Most powerful! That really sounds more important than getting rid of McCain doesn't it?

She praised him, and said he was a conservative, even though they differed on a few issues.

He needs to be renounced as the lying traitor he is, not praised for actions he did 30 years ago, which he has been living off ever since.

Palin sold out the Tea Party movement by praising one of it's worse enemies.

How long as McCain been selling out Conservatives?

Stop living in the world of delusion.

He is a liar and a fraud and needs to be regarded as such.

We need to stop walking on egg shells around the guy and let him know exactly the contempt we hold for him.

It was an attempt to shut down free speech.
