Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), fresh off his disappointing bid for the White House, returned to a familiar role in the Senate on Wednesday, shaking up his own party and reaching across the aisle to Democrats.

McWho?
Rumor has it there was a blue dress involved.
No word on stains...
I got the same email asking for money. I replied back and said I wouldn’t contribute to them because of the way McCain acted after the election.. Maybe he will get the message.
No, Bush, McCain and the Republican leadership killed McCain's chances when they decided they didn't need to listen to fellow Republicans and conservatives, and that they would just ram amnesty down our throats.
How many years did we tell them: "Secure the borders first". I know it's it four words, still you'd think they were capable of understanding such a complicated idea.
If Bush and the Republican leadership had proved their seriousness by actually securing our borders for six to twelve months, then, I believe, the country would have allowed a guest worker plan and perhaps a little amnesty.
But they weren't interested in a win/win plan that would please their voting base and Hispanics, they went with the lose/lose plan, and to no ones surprise, they lost.
Coming Up... The only way to make it worse, in these days of razor thin election margins, would be to now allow the Democrats to give, and take credit for the amnesty of twenty million new Democrat voters. If so, the Republican Party ceases to exist as a political force.
What clueless morons. It was McCain (and Bush) pandering to illegal alien Hispanics that drained away votes from these groups most aggrieved by the illegal alien invasion that threatens their way of life and livelihood and drains enormous shares of their tax dollars.
McCain so turned off the conservative base AND the conservative Democrats with his stupid amnesty (and blocking judges and inhibiting campaign contributions) that nobody save party insiders and flunkies even wanted to work for him or get out the vote.
Whereas Obama people were in neighborhoods four times before the election getting votes, McCain's campaign couldn't even get volunteers to answer the phone or give money.
Republicans will continue to lose big if they follow their elite leaders down the McCain/Rove/Bush path of amnesty and bailouts. While McCain shuttles between his eight mansions in gated communities where illegal aliens would be shot on sight if they showed up, the voters who dissed him live with the wreakage of the McCain/Rove amnesty brigade.
ONCE A RINO ALWAYS A RINO!!!
I don’t think this guy ever wanted to win.
Time for him to become chief salesman for erectional disfunction drugs like Bob Dole!!! Sheeesh!!!
Love the rhinoceros-with-McAin’s-face graphic! LOL
I’d just add that I think that the many folks castigating McCain for working with the Rats may be missing a larger point. McCain along with many Republicans and almost all Rats serve and are largely funded bycorporate interests that support heavy immigration so as to depress wages as low as possible. The greater Rat support is attributable to their having an additional motive: heavy immigration also means more votes for them. Still, though, the treacherous open-borders RINOs are pursuing their self-interest. Even if they lose their seats because of an influx of immigrant voters, their corporate masters will put them on a private dole by getting them an easy gig as a lobbyist, or at some worthless thinktank.
Brilliant! An old guy who is indistinguishable from his "good friends" in the Democratic party! That'll get the youth vote fired up! Way to go, GOP/RNC!
I despise this old fool. Always have. Sick SOB
