I felt terrible voting for him, mainly because I was hoping he would die during his first week in office.
Add Roy Blunt (Missouri) to the list of Republican traitors. He’ll be up for re-election eventually!
A sign that there is hope.
"Nature smiles at the union of freedom and equality in our utopias. For freedom and equality are sworn and everlasting enemies, and when one prevails the other dies. Leave men free, and their natural inequalities will multiply almost geometrically, as in England and America in the nineteenth century under laissez-faire. To check the growth of inequality, liberty must be sacrificed, as in Russia after 1917. Even when repressed, inequality grows; only the man who is below the average in economic ability desires equality; those who are conscious of superior ability desire freedom, and in the end superior ability has its way."-- Will Durant
“we are dividing the Republican Party rather than attacking Democrats.”.......
Words directly from the guy who blatenty attacked Cruz following the 21 hours speech.
“John Boy”, tell me once again who the RINO’s are fighting
McShamey jumped the shark oh so long ago.
The man deserves nothing save opprobrium.
We don't need that or him. Send him home with a lifetime supply of Depends instead of lifetime health insurance and a pension and be rid of him.
Errr, no McCain, you moron. YOU are dividing the party by lying and attacking your own party.
McCain should just join the Democrat Party and shut his cake-hole.
I was sitting there the other night listening to McCain on the floor of the Senate say something to the effect of: “we lost and are in the minority, that is why we shouldn’t and can’t oppose this in the manner Mr. Cruz suggests.” I wished more than anything I could have somehow gotten two minutes on the Senate floor to reply as follows:
Mr. McCain, you were shot down over Vietnam and captured by the enemy. At that moment, it could be said that you LOST. You were in a foreign country that you had attacked and it could be said that you sir were in the minority. Did that mean then sir that you had no right to resist your Vietnamese captors? Did that mean the right thing to do would have been simply to cooperate or find common ground with the enemy since you lost? No sir, instead you withstood torture (despite having “lost”) to stand on your principles in the face of certain defeat each time you were tortured.
Perhaps the situation now is not of the same magnitude. Nobody (as far as we know) is threatening you with great bodily harm. As far as I can see the only thing you are threatened with is a loss of approval from the DC class and its constituents. But they already turned on you and abandoned you once. Why would you want their approval now? Regardless Mr. McCain, is it really that hard for you to stand on your principles as you did when you were under much more difficult circumstances?
Perhaps sir the reason for your conduct is that you have NO principles and are lost. If that is the case, then you owe it to your constituents to resign and allow someone into that office who has principles (on one side or the other as chosen by the voters). At this point, you clearly represent whatever it takes to preserve your place in DC. But make no mistake sir, outside of the environs of DC you are regarded at best as a useful idiot for the statists and at worse part and parcel of the statists.
Finally, you sir decried that part of the reason Obamacare passed is that we lost in 2008. As a gentle reminder, you were at the top of the ticket in that year and thus, own that loss. Do you not now have some responsibility for cleaning up your mess? If you truly oppose Obamacare and by your admission are responsible for its passage, should you not do more?
I think you are right.
Partisanship: Not rolling over on command
F~ck McCain. Being a POW doesn’t excuse his voting record.
“Every day, I come closer to the realization that the crazy old fart would have been an even worse president than Obama.”
That’s a tough call but I may have to agree!
“we are dividing the Republican Party rather than attacking Democrats.”
Yup, that’s exactly what YOU are doing Senator Sh**head.
Must scare the bejesus out of Juan McLaim... its open season on RINOs....
Thanks for putting in the whole Durant quote. I couldn’t find it in the few minutes I looked.
Durant doesn’t pass judgment, does he? He just says that’s the way it is, huh?
My main point was that I don’t mind arguing, and stalemates among our politicians. What we don’t don’t want is killing or economic damage, but the current arguing is over what is the best way to improve our economy and maintain our freedoms. Perhaps the best way is a compromise, but that has to be banged out.
I also remember Durant saying that all great civilizations were built on a strong moral foundation and they all declined as morality declined.
So John, partisanship is a bad thing? Do you think there is more bipartisanship between God and Satan?
