McCain To Piers: When I Buck GOP Leadership I’m A Maverick, Slamming Rand I’m ‘An Angry Old Man’
Mediaite ^ | March 8, 2013 | Josh Feldman

John McCain has gotten quite a bit of attention after he took to the Senate floor on Thursday to publicly rebuke (which is actually sugercoating it) a member of his own party, Rand Paul, for holding a 13-hour filibuster on the issue of drone strikes. McCain talked with Piers Morgan tonight about his objections to Paul, and observed that when he speaks his mind against GOP leadership he’s considered a brave maverick, but when he rebuts the filibuster of one junior senator he’s suddenly the “angry old man” who’s out of touch with reality.

McCain explained to Morgan that he thinks it’s completely ridiculous to assume the United States would just decide to kill a citizen on American soil, saying “it’s not the world of reality.” He said that in the grand scope of U.S. foreign policy, there are more pressing issues to deal with than the hypothetical offered up by Paul...

Where is Sarah on this?

Are you kidding?????? In 2010 she back stabbed JD Hayworth in the AZ Sen. primary by going on FOX and appearing right next to McCain, claiming he was what the tea party was all about. She then gave him a ROUSING endorsement.

If McCain’s Facebook page was a FR thread; there would be loads of ‘Comment Removed by Moderator’ posts...brutal stuff...and well-deserved.

It took the CIA more than 20 years to admit they gave Frank Olsen LSD. They will never admit that they intended to kill him.

And the family is suing

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/27/us/family-of-frank-olson-man-drugged-by-cia-plans-suit.html?_r=0

Not much detail out there about where the lawsuit stands now.

CIA has offed more than one citizen on US Soil.

William Colby another likely candidate.

He and his twin are welcomed on the establishmedia when he trashes Republicans. Not so for the Repubs he trashes.

“According to the lawsuit filed by Frank’s sons, Eric and Nils Olson, “The circumstances surrounding the death mirrored those detailed in an assassination manual that, upon information and belief, the CIA had drafted that same year.””

The Olson family was given $750,000 to get them to not sue back in the 70’s. I would say there is a lot that the government doesn’t want to see the light of day about Frank Olson.

He went on a Bad Acid Trip because of drugs given to him by the CIA .He could have jumped out the window on a Bad Acid Trip. Or he could have been hit on the head before he jumped as a forsenic scientist indicated.

Whatever the case, CIA doesn’t want documents about Frank Olson in the public view.

Olsons probably get another payout or get offed.

Hey McLame, you can give it up now.

You're simply a Progressive who happens to be a Republican and all of America knows it now.

McCain should just go away. He is for the other side, he is way past his prime, and the media and Dems will mine him for all he is worth. In my opinion, he is the widowed uncle going insane that we must endure until something changes. We can do that, but the media and Dems are like the 40 year old ‘meth tart’ who comes around the widowed uncle and gives him attention. That makes for big trouble and they will exploit it to the hilt.

I don't feel sorry for that fag lover. They all deserve one another, IMO.

He shouldn’t be discussing this at all it’s not his issue and the other senators have duties to represent their constituents. How hard is that for him to get?

Plus he’s just wrong.

McCain talked with Piers Morgan tonight

Wow, there's a conversation. Two liberals, three brain cells between them. They had to pass the odd one back and forth to form a coherent thought.

I have always felt sorry for her because he lied about his age and marital status the night they met. She was a naive college kid...or just out of. He had already been to VN. He went after her family's money. I credit him for most of the problems she has had. I wouldn't be surprised if she hasn't been emotionally abused their entire marriage.

I don't think anybody deserves John McCain.

I stick with my opinion and you keep yours!

Stupid. When you buck the leadership you do it from the left. Go away.

A lot can be said about Ron Paul, it could fill several books. One thing for sure, he sure raised a good kid!

And I might make the observation...he’s leaving better offspring than McCain or Graham have produced!

“McCain explained to Morgan that he thinks it’s completely ridiculous to assume the United States would just decide to kill a citizen on American soil, saying “it’s not the world of reality”

If they will leave you to die in Benghazi they will drone you in Amerika.

Pretty sad that McStain has to defend himself on Piers Morgan.
