McCain vs. the Tea Party
New York Times ^

Posted on 07/27/2011 11:53:56 AM PDT by Windy City Conservative

Mr. McCain mocked Tea Party-allied Republicans in the House for believing — wrongly, he said — that President Obama and Democrats will get the blame for a default if Republicans refuse to increase the nation’s debt ceiling. By that flawed logic, “Democrats would have no choice but to pass a balanced budget amendment and reform entitlements and the Tea Party Hobbits could return to Middle Earth,” he said, quoting a Wall Street Journal editorial. “This is the kind of crack political thinking that turned Sharron Angle and Christine O’Donnell into G.O.P. nominees,” he jeered, referring to two losing Tea Party candidates for the Senate in 2010.

I believe it is 3 rd party time.

The shall become the third party.

A Candidate that takes the reigns of a new Party can make or break it.

Palin and Cain could be that.

So, about what time do you usually get this pissed off?

I've usually had enough of the *news of the day* right before midnight, got a good jump on it today :^)

Don’t be too hard on his daughter. The poor skank didn’t have much of a chance to turn out well given the parents she has.

I think good old maverick John may have just crossed Sarah Palin’s line.

Now I am convinced that the only reason the rats and rino are going nuts over this is because of their investments are going too tank and they can’t touch them.

My understanding is that their investments are put into a blind trust. The trust manages their investments and the politicos have no say so over what the trust does. Obviously the trust will manage the investments according to guidelines established by the politician.

Actually it's because of wussy panty wastes we have in the GOP that let the Democrats run roughshod over them day in and day out without an effective response. This lazy-assed McCain is a prime example. He criticizes his own party more than he does the Marxists on the other side of the aisle.

John McCain, acting true to form - a nasty, vicious, ill-tempered little characture of a man, vilifying people who disagree with him on a personal level.

Those individuals who helped re-elect this abortive representation of a human being need to do a lot of re-thinking before the next senatorial election.

He's just another Poster Boy for TERM LIMITS.

Actually, we are getting our “third party” wish. The tea party contingent within the Republican party is in the process of taking over the party. All we need to do is add to their numbers and imo, elect Palin president in ‘12. By doing that we will have effectively turned the GOP into the third party we are seeking to build. Simple, huh? :-)

Palin is just trying to be loyal to this despicable individual. It makes a stattement about her intergrity and character.

She is one fine lady and deserved a lot better than she received as co-candidate with this obxnoxious little nematode.

McCain began his military career as the spoiled son of an admiral and a hot-shot pilot who lost several jets to incompetence.

He seems not to have overcome his capture, imprisonment and humiliation or forgiven the nation for his lost decade.

Very sad for him and the U.S.

when, in YOUR opinion, this GOP epiphany will finally occur

Well LaybackLenny, I believe in America. I believe in America's destiny. America's destiny will arrive, when We the People decide. More Americans are awake than ever before, and this is a Great Sign. I will pray the trend continues, for yes, I too am frustrated, but praying God is not frustrated with all of us for having allowed this to happen.

3rd Party Time

Read the history. All a third party would do is ensure the political dominance of the 0 Democrats for a generation or 2. The solution if for the Tea Party movement to keep taking over the levers of power in the GOP and retire worn out old dinosaurs like McCain.

American seem to be wonderfully incapable of realizing their political system is designed to be evolutionary, not revolutionary. They continually assume that because they win one election, they have won the political war. That is no how our system works. It takes several elections, not just an election, to change our political system in any significant fashion
