For example, during the push to get Tea Partiers to compromise (which is political speak for check your convictions at the door) and support Boehner 3.0, an angry John McCain took to the Senate floor and referred to Tea Party conservatives in the House as hobbits...
Not to put too fine a point on it, John, but the Hobbits were the sturdy working class that saved the day by throwing the evil Ring of Power into the fire, ending the hopes of domination by the Dark Lord and restoring the rights and freedoms of man...
F*&% you, John.
Don't forget that they were able to do so because they cared more for doing the right thing than they desired the power the Ring offered to them.
