With all due respect to Sen McCain You INSULT the American People when you say we don't understand the CLOTURE procedure.. The Democrats CONSTANTLY used the 60 VOTE requirement and now they whine when the Republicans do it.. what a bunch of BAFOONS !! with all due respect

[AU72]

Since 2001 the democrats in the Senate have established the precedent of the 60 vote majority. Let them live with it.

McCain Implosion Schadenfreude

[davidosborne]

Jeff Sessions UP now

[Bahbah]

Hah! You caught that too.

Most of us here understand the procedure quite well. But McCain has never had a very high opinion of the intelligence of the American people.

[Joe Boucher]

“with all due respect”?
Sorry, I lost respect for McCain during the 2000 election cycle and it has gone down hill ever since.

[davidosborne]

I felt PERSONALLY insulted.. the 17yr old PRIVATES that I train understand the way the senate works.. as a matter of fact most IRAQIs understand it too !!

McCain has made his bed with the conservative base and now he has to sleep in it. You can only be the Democrat's pet Republican and a self-absorbed media hound for so long before the damage to your reputation is irreparable.

McCain is hardly the biggest RINO based on his actual voting record but he just isn't a trust worthy ally.

Shows the very deep divide that separates us from the Ivory towered pinheads that such administrators become after a few years of cloistering on K street, now doesn’t it?

And this from a man who publicly stated to the world that we lazy Americans would not pick fruit for 50 dollars an hour. - so we have to import millions of illiterate mexicans.

Call your senators and tell them to Pass the FUNDING.. save the IRAQ DEBATE for later.. or at least another bill... FULLY FUND and FULLY SUPPORT THE SURGE !!!

Sen. Jon Tester (D-Montana) -- UP TO BAT.. CUT AND RUN !! .. barf barf barf barf

Centuries old civil war? get a clue !! The Iraqi people for the most part do not care about Sunni vs Shia-- that is ENEMY/INSURGENT propoganda which you are spouting off.. do US a favor and sit down and go read some intel reports before you speak this garbage

[capt. norm]

I'm wondering how bad things have to get for him to throw in the towel on his presidential run.

Most people would have figured it out by now. But with his ego, he will probably refuse to believe that he is not wanted for the job.

[davidosborne]

What an idiot !! fight the terrorist in Baghdad, but bring the troops home ?? Do these people live in the same world as the rest of us?

[Joe Boucher]

Very astute Mad as heck.
The conservative base is what nominates the republican standard bearer as does the liberal base what nominates the democRAt nominee.
No way McCain passes the smell test to the vast majority of conservatives. Especially after his support for amnesty.
