Can anyone name something that McCain has done since Obama was elected that has disappointed them? As far as I can tell, McCain has been one of the most stridently opposed to Obama’s agenda. If I’m wrong, someone tell me otherwise.

“Can anyone name something that McCain has done since Obama was elected that has disappointed them? As far as I can tell, McCain has been one of the most stridently opposed to Obama’s agenda. If I’m wrong, someone tell me otherwise.”

There are dozens of threads on FR spelling out all the wrong things McCain has done in the last year. He’s the only republican on the news you get to see, so yeah, he looks like the opposition.

One of the worst things he’s done is lie about J.D. Hayworth, or any other conservative that opposes him.

He just introduced some legislation restricting your right to choose what kind of supplements you want to buy.

And he STILL has a bad gambling habit supported by Indian tribe lobbyists who are his campaign managers and all gambling at Indian casinos while he’s head of the Indian affairs committee in the Senate.

And he STILL plans to push amnesty on us.

There’s more if you care to see it.

McCain has been relatively reliable since the election.

However, that's one of his problems.

He was relatively conservative...until he first ran for President in 2000. Over the next eight years, he became increasingly liberal -- seemingly just to poke Bush in the eye. He voted against tax cuts. Remember McCain-Feingold? McCain-Kennedy?

Then, in 2008, he ran for President again. And got even more liberal. He campaigned on global warming. He seemed intent on insulting conservatives at least once daily.

He was defeated. Now, he's running for re-election in Arizona. And he is a conservative, again.

Notice a pattern here?

McCain isn't a conservative. Nor is he a liberal. He is a rank opportunist.

He will say whatever he needs to say to get elected. Then, he will go to Washington and do whatever suits him.

We really don't need this kind of politician anymore.

Well..Bo wouldn’t be sitting where he is now, and neither would our country be on the skids if it weren’t for McCain handing BO the election... so that ends the story of anything McCain might have to say from that point on in my book and al lot of other peoples.
