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.”

Everybody knows that his sympathies lie with the libs so he ought to join them officially.
We need this rat out of our party. He threw the election by pi***ng all over his base, has had his underlings diss his own VP candidate, and now coddles the enemy.
This man should be booed, heckled, and shunned at all GOP events. He is a disgrace.
Strong on the border and spending....
That is the truth, if it weren’t for Sarah Palin, this dude would have been Mondale Redux.
Well, it’s obvious to me now that of the two Democrats who ran in the general election, the right one won.
Now, I hope we can get over little things like being a Mormon and start looking at more qualified candidates. I mean given the state of affairs, Wall Street, Detroit, The Global Economy...who wouldn’t feel better with Mitt Romney coming on board in six weeks?
Hopefully only two, after the good citizens of Arizona remove him from office in 2010.
Just kissing up to the msm AGAIN. Lot of good that did him and our country.
McCain can kiss my rear end.
God how I regret holding my nose and voting for this turd.
The GOP should EXPELL the POS from the party.
Senator McCain:
Thank you for your heroic service to our Nation.
However, since your election to Congress, you have done more harm than good.
Please, for the sake the generations of Americans that follow, STFU and GO AWAY!
I wonder how long it will be before Juan publicly blames Sarah for his loss.
I'm sure that he's probably already done so in private.
An idiot and a traitor...
At this level of responsability idiocy is dangerous
Makes me wonder what deals McCain has made with 0.
I think the guy above nailed it. We often confused Mccain personally and his politics. Mccain is a good person, but he’s an idiot. Alot like Bush.
They’re good as friends, but you’ll never want them leading you
Looks like ol’ John has once again cross the isle but this time he stayed. The election really didn’t matter as even if McCain had won the democrats still would have won.
Guys like McLame fasten themselves onto the body politic like some deranged tick that refuses to detach themselves.
McLame ain’t going nowhere in 2010...for worse or better..
I cannot believe that Huckster Gantry and his disciples cornered me into voting for McQueeg.
LOL. Let's see how long the mods let this stay.
The election is over and McLame is over!
Who is listening to him?......
