In a surprising rebuke to the warriors who fought for him through tough times, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Sunday sided with President-elect Barack Obama and scolded the Republican National Committee for fanning the Illinois corruption scandal.
On ABC’s “This Week,” host George Stephanopoulos asked: “The chairman of the Republican National Committee, Mike Duncan, has been highly critical of the way President- elect Obama has dealt with this.
"He's had a statement every single day, saying that the Obama team should reveal all contacts they've had with Governor [Rod] Blagojevich. He says that Obama's promise of transparency to the American people is now being tested. Do you agree with that?”
McCain replied: “I think that the Obama campaign should and will give all information necessary. You know, in all due respect to the Republican National Committee and anybody — right now, I think we should try to be working constructively together, not only on an issue such as this, but on the economy stimulus package, reforms that are necessary. And so, I don't know all the details of the relationship between President-elect Obama's campaign or his people and the governor of Illinois, but I have some confidence that all the information will come out. It always does, it seems to me.”

You should never have a POW (especially long-term) for a President. McMainiac is messed up...
Not only does he scold the GOP, he doesn’t want anything to do with the Obama birth certificate issue, either... LOL.. (that’s no surprise...).
Like what?
Give him a chaaaance.
He's just setting us up for his next duty: John "Filibuster Buster" McCain
I think his body has been taken over by Jimmah Cotter. Quick, look for the pods!
McCain can continue to lap Obama’s spit. I hope the good Arizonans send Mac packin’!
Amen to that, I don’t want to hear that man’s opinion on anything.
What?
How bout that big guy with a flattop.
Well, he’s old enough we probably won’t have to put up with him much longer. AND....he introduced Palin to the national stage.
This is a good example of why McCain lost the election. Again.....I do not believe that the Republican Party wanted the White House during these times. They turned Americans over to the socialists.
Guess we should have gone with the Magic Underwear guy.
McCain is an idiot.

There you go rabscuttle, McLame will keep you very busy the next 4 years with this sort of crapola.
Not that big a deal. McCain is just saying wait until all the details (facts) come out. Problem is we will need Republicans pushing this issue to get to the bottom of the cesspool.
Our primaries were flawed. Democrats and Indies had a vote, and Conservatives split up their vote on 5 candidates.
He is posturing for his pet amnesty for the illegals.
Gawd John, just shut up.
sorry Mac. you aren’t the front man for the GOP any more.
You have been replaced by a Woman named Sarah. She gets it.
Considering the lame campaign the GOP ran, and running this loser McCain, it seems the Republican party had no intention of winning.
