Sen. McCain: I ‘don’t understand’ Sen. Reid’s repeated attacks against me (He's 'confused')

McCain is the last man in America who still thinks that being a US Senator is some sort of gentlemanly and nobile occupation.

How a 4 term senator could still be so naive is both puzzing and sad.

[NormsRevenge]

Thanks!!! .. and good question indeed.

Reid said he “couldn’t stand” McCain and labeled his campaign tactics “scummy.”

Hell has officially frozen over, I actually agree with Reid on not just one but two points. I can't stand McCain AND I think the way he runs as a conservative but stabs us in the back once elected, is pretty scummy.

You don’t need to understand them John Boy!.....Either blast the hell out of them or get out of the way!!!

McCain said, “It’s very confusing because he was very personal in his attacks on me during the [2008 presidential] campaign, and then occasionally he’ll stand up on the floor of the Senate and say, ‘Oh, this good guy McCain.’ I don’t understand this. I don’t understand it.”

McCain, This should be absolutely clear to you, it's exactly how you treat fellow Republicans and Conservatives every day.

So where’s the world’s saddest song?

McCain ran the worst campaign for federal office I have ever seen, with the exception of Rick Lazio’s run against Hillary.The day after he named Palin the momentum swung completely in his direction and he blew it with the worst decision ever,suspending the campaign. If he’s bitter about losing, he should be talkng to the guy he sees in the mirror when shaving.

“We have to convince these independent voters out there that we did learn our lesson about spending and we will be fiscally responsible,” he said. “You’ll notice that the approval ratings of Republicans hasn’t shot up. You’ll notice that the voter registrations for Republicans haven’t dramatically increased. So we still have a real sales job to do.”

Yes, you do. Funny how McCain suddenly finds wisdom before a re-election campaign. Too bad his wisdom lasts about as long as the snow that fell last night and was melted and gone by sunrise this morning. I hope he enjoys retirement.

Two old farts soon to be retired by their constituents

Why don’t you like me?

Juan McCain only knows how to fight against conservatives.

McCain is the Democrats lap dog and toy poodle.

[DoughtyOne]

Yep, 27 years and he’s still the Democrat he always was.

[ontap]

McCain thinks since he has thrown conservative under the bus so many times that Reid and his ilk have great respect for him......wrong!!!!! They like him about as much as we do!!

[hometoroost]

John, let me explain. Harry is a scorpion and no matter how nicely he asks you to give him a ride in a “bipartisan” manner he will always sting you half-way across the stream. It’s what he is, it’s what he does. If you and the rest of the RINOs understood that we wouldn’t be in this mess.

[ElPatriota]

Oh COME ON! Harry... you too?... You KNOW I would help if I could but right now my a** is on the line... and so .. you know...

[DoughtyOne]

As if MeCain being confused was something new.

[Interesting Times]

Perhaps Reid and the Dems were misled by McCain's recent campaign speeches into thinking that John is no longer on their side.

Note that McCain's feelings are hurt when he's critized by a Democrat. When he's criticized by conservatives, his usual response is contempt.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

News Flash!....John McCain is confused!

[A Strict Constructionist]

“They like him about as much as we do!!”

Traitors are never trusted by either side.

[AppyPappy]

I’ll have to be honest with you, John. It’s your Negro dialect. He doesn’t like it when you talk street.
