McCain visits Obama team in Arizona to thank them for support on gun bill
The Washington Examiner ^ | April 24, 2013 | Joel Gehrke

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., had a warm meeting with Obama for America Organizing for Action volunteers in Arizona, as the senator and the members of President Obama’s former campaign apparatus thanked each other for their alliance in support of Obama’s desired gun legislation.

“The speakers commended Senator McCain for showing leadership on this issue, and made it clear that we’re still hopeful that, with his help and support, we will get a bipartisan law to protect our country and our local community,” OFA’s Erin Kelly wrote in a blog post today. “We were shocked and excited to see Senator McCain himself, who had been driving by his office on his way home and had seen the thank-you signs. The senator had pulled over to the side of the road to thank his constituents for our support.”

Organizing for Action is the Obama campaign rebranded as a nonprofit, officially nonpartisan advocacy group. A studious Senate maverick, McCain’s visit won’t endear him to the grassroots base in his own party. The OFA post provoked a mixed response among liberal activists....

Any way to get Sheriff Arpaio to arrest McQueeg?

Charge him with impersonating a sentient being.

McCain has always been a shill for “The Divine One.”

I really can count on one hand the elected officials that I have even a hint of hope in, Cruz is one for now, and all others could cease breathing and we’d be no worse for wear.

Amazing how they side with the leftists in the Democrat party against their own GOP base and get away with it.

What GOP base. Most of the base are idiots.

According to the left wing zealots we have in politics.......
We’re not supposed to judge all Muslims by the acts of a few “crazies”.
But the acts of a few American “crazies” is enough to judge all Americans who own guns!

John McCain possesses a boundless sense of entitlement exacerbated by his successful planting - and subsequent ferocious tending - of the "maverick" and "war hero" memes. Whatever psychological problems the guy may have, he is neither senile nor stupid.

He is, however, a rather virulent statist of the first order... which is probably why Spooky Dude has dropped a coin or two in Johnny's cup now and then.

Just had a weird thought. McCain couldn’t get elected president as a Republican so maybe now he’s considering becoming a dem just in time for the next election when even the dems would like a more conservative (looking) puppet at the helm. McCain has shown he will play ball after all.

McCain’s approval rating in Arizona is below 20%, with both parties agreeing that he is a defective unit. However, with his wife’s money, anyone who runs against him will be so dragged through the mud that few still dare. He is mean, vicious and cruel to those that oppose him, and he has a vicious temper.

Tragically, only the grim reaper will be able to scrape him out of that senate seat.
