Anyone claiming McCain is good for the Senate is a stupid idiot — or another lobbyist-owned legislator like he is.
The History of the Filibuster
Binder notes that the filibuster was not part of the original design of the Senate and the creation of the cloture rule was not a statement of the Senate’s love for supermajority rules, but rather the product of hard-nose bargaining with an obstructive minority.

ABout being an Idiot, Mr McCrazy should check his mirror.!!
Stuart Varney just reported that McConnell just invoked.
Yet again, McCain opines on a subject he knows well - idiots. From first-hand, personal experience I might add.
Lends further credence to the rumor that he and Graham are working a back-room deal with the Democrats on Gorsuch.
Correction: Anyone Claiming McCain Good for the Senate is a ‘stupid idiot’
No McCain. Your Democrat party rammed Obamacare down our throats without a single Republican vote. Payback’s a bitch eh?
McCain, you moron, since when did you or the Senate respect the traditions of institutions?
Look what you’ve done to the traditional institution of marriage.
“That after 200 years, at least 100 years of this tradition, where the Senate has functioned pretty well, they think it would be a good idea to blow it up.”
John, you worthless turd, define “functioned pretty well!” Because from my perspective, if the Senate were to be shut down today, the whole legislative process would “function,” whereas now it doesn’t!
“That after 200 years, at least 100 years of this tradition, where the Senate has functioned pretty well”
**************
He evidently thinks that ever increasing government intrusion, the steady erosion of personal liberties, massive public debt, endless wars, a broken immigration system, professional politicians, and many other national problems are functioning pretty well. Political elites like the self-congratulatory McCain just want to pat themselves on the back for the “great job” they’re doing.
The reality is that the senate has been a party to moving the country FURTHER away from the vision and principles of the Founding Fathers.
Said by the ace at being a stupid idiot!
McCain has earned the title of “Lion of the Senate” now that Ted Kennedy is gone. What people don’t say is what it actually means. It means they’ve been there so long you must ignore them because they have lost their minds.
John “Bilbo” McCain.
Hey McHanoi Rat,
Anyone who thinks collaborating with the enemy AGAIN, siding with the other party, and fighting the confirmation of an emminently qualified judge to the SCOTUS is good for the Country is abjectly evil. That’s YOU!
McQueeg is a traitor; has been since vietnam.
“Stupid idiot”? McCain is projecting again.
Will someone PLEASE remove all the mirrors from this fool’s house? He keeps talking to them! Only stupid idiot I see in his vicinity is HIM.
Takes one to know one...
It’s hard to believe that I once voted for this man for president. It was a blessing in disguise that he lost.
