McCain strolls into Dem caucus meeting (democrats erupt in applause)

Sen. John McCain — a Democrat?

There was confusion Wednesday after the Arizona Republican mistakenly strolled into President Obama’s meeting with Senate Democrats at the Capitol.

The room full of Democrats — who happened to be meeting in the same room where the Senate GOP usually holds their weekly policy luncheons — erupted in applause and laughter as the former Republican presidential candidate made his entrance.

As McCain, 76, walked out of the Dem-filled space, reporters pressed him as to why he stepped foot in the room.

Saying he “had to give a speech,” McCain was eyed walking away sporting a big grin.

Obama scheduled Wednesday powwows with House and Senate Democrats just ahead of Congress’ five-week recess.

McCain has emerged as a dealmaker in talks with Democrats, and has had numerous dustups this year with the Tea Party wing of the GOP. At one point he memorably described Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) as “wacko birds.”

The senator on Wednesday joked it would a "difficult choice" for him if Paul and Democrat Hillary Clinton were to face off for the presidency in 2016.

I want to see millions of pictures of John McCain mailed in otherwise empty envelopes to the RNC.

Demented fool didn’t know where he was. He was looking for the men’s room. Oh, well, maybe he did find it.

Why doesn’t Arlen McCain switch parties and be done with it?

Why wouldn’t Juan “Lettuce” McBackstabber not attend his caucus meeting? He’s a Democrat, right?

"The senator on Wednesday joked it would a "difficult choice" for him if Paul and Democrat Hillary Clinton were to face off for the presidency in 2016."

That says it all...

Who knows? Maybe he's threatening to switch in an attempt to keep the new US Senators in line.

That would actually be excellent before the next election. It would have everyone in the US Senate having to say where they're at.

Why does he have an “R” by his name, he lives to be applauded (literally and figuratively) by Dems?

Wrong punctuation there at the end. A simple period would have sufficed.

This means he is going to work with RATS to get their constituency to cross over and vote against TEA in the primaries next year, mark my words.

That’s funny. Fortunately I stopped receiving envelopes from the RNC after I told them I do not support the RINO National Committee.

I blame the voters of AZ more.

Just because he was in the military and says “Reagan” every six years IS NOT A DAMN REASON TO VOTE FOR HIM!

I stopped getting calls and mailings when I called them out for being cowardly c*cksuckers after this last election and asked them not to contact me again unless they had grown a set. Guess they are still waiting for some to appear.

I’ve seen quite a few here say he’ll switch parties, looks like he’s laying the groundwork for it right now.

Good riddance.
