I'm sorry for McCain. I was one of those who first voted for him back when he got his start all those elections ago.

It's clear the man is more than a bit off now and it's due to one of a few possibilities:

Either something a) age related mental degeneration or illness or b) flare up of latent damage, possibly stemming from his crashing planes, getting shot down and/or prison abuse or c) he is owned through blackmail or some other coercion or d) he truly is on the other team, but still calls himself a republican.

I realize that Senate seniority often brings advantages for the state that sent him or her, but this one is well beyond its "Discard by _____" date.

Again, my apologies for being among those who initially helped get him started. Every action has consequences and that bit of karma has come back around.

Senators Paul, Cruz, Lee, and Rubio are just what our founders had in mind when they first spoke out for Liberty!

As a high school teacher of history and government, how great it was to have my students come to me on their own to speak of “filibuster”, the 5th and 14th amendments, “due process”, and their relation to presidential power. They were truly excited to have witnessed a real filibuster, having just studied it.

McCain and Graham are all wet in their petty attacks on Rand Paul. They tried to confound his concerns over due process rights for American citizens on American soil with “enemy combatants” waging terroristic war on the United States abroad. These are two distinct scenarios. The question only arose because our own Justice Department issued a policy paper stating their power to act in just this fashion. Absent probable cause of an iminent act of war, lighting off a nuke for example, American citizens are entitled to due process. McCain and Graham attacked the new Tea Party conservatives with a venom they would never unleash on any Democrat. Indeed, they sat at supper with the most radical lefist ever to occupy the White House, while Senator Paul quoted the U.S. Constitution on the Senate floor. The lines of battle could not be more clearly drawn.

I made my call to his office. He always seems secure and no one on the right ever challenges him. Maybe it’s time to vote for the rat..there’s no difference.

I used to give McCain a pass because of his service, but no more. As far as I’m concerned, he, Graham and the rest of those jerks who voted for Brennan are traitors.

I found out that Limpy Gramnesty , the effeminate, from stupid south Carolina in behind in his reelection next year!! The wonderful Representative Wilson you yelled out “YOU LIE” at the state of the union to that idiot omammy is whipping Gramnesty like a red headed step child!! I ask all freepers to give big bucks to Wilson. It is all on wikipedia!!
As for McAmnesty. Just ignore him until he leaves our party like Arlen Spectacle in Pennsylvania. He is an omammy suck up real bad and wants to invade any country he can think of. Truth is he was a complicit “prisoner” of war in Vietnam and spilled his guts to the commie bastards and got real special treatment— so good ,in fact. They wanted to release him first. He knew that this would expose him real bad as a collaborator so he fell back in the crowd so no one would know he was a coward collaborator!! Check it out— absolutely true, in my opinion.

Funny how an Admirals son got into flight school and was a terrible pilot and is now a war hero.

I am just saying...

McCain and Linda are just throwing a tantrum because their little mixer with obama got upstaged by Rand Paul.
Does anyone know or care what they discussed? No one in the media is talking about it.

So sad to be ignored.

(sniff)
