Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is continuing to criticize his fellow Republicans for their filibuster of incoming CIA Director John O. Brennan over drone policy. In an interview with the Huffington Post, McCain referred to Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) as

Call McLames office and leave a message saying how he needs to shut up and retire. He’s a liberal. He’s no longer a RINO. He’s a full blown liberal.

They had better NOT.

He is irrelevant and they are above him.

Paul immediately shot back yesterday, and he showed he is equally unafraid to defend himself against this nut as he is unafraid to go to Holder.

McCain is over and the quicher someone uses the hook, if they must, to get him off the stage, the better for us, him and everyone but the media and the socialists he’s been supporting his whole career.

Inherent trust in government = liberal

The country’s founding principles were based on an inherent distrust of government.

The Old Guard is literally old. The RINOs seem to have an average age of around 75. Elders are to be respected for their wisdom, and the RINOs have none. Cruz, Paul, Rubio, and/or Lee need to smack John McCain, PUBLICLY.

The Revolution has begun within the GOP time to sweep away the old guard.....Rand isn’t perfect, but he is the breath of fresh air the party needs.

Hey McCain. No wonder you are the minority party. Who wants to be you?

They do not like it. And what it will take to overcome is for these gentlemen, statesmen, to NOT allow pity nor fear of reprisal to stop them.

And that’s what we have.

So, McCain is done. It’s all over but the screaming while he gets dragged out by his ankles. Metaphorically speaking, of course

McCain was Obama’s actual running mate in 2008.

...in retrospect I'm glad [McCain] lost to Obama.

I agree. At least we know where Obama stands and can harden our face to him. McCain is the Enemy Within the Gates.

McCain would have gotten us into WWIII, he wanted us to fight the Russkies in Kosovo.

McCain is culpable for the mess we have now, for failing to ever really attack Obama on the most vital issues in his 2008 campaign.

Hard to believe Sarah Palin helped McCain fight off a primary challenge. What was she thinking?

I think hussein must have had Mcidjit injected with crazy stuff during their dinner meeting the other night. Only explanation I have.

But I also think that when, you know, it’s always the wacko birds on right and left that get the media megaphone.”

McCain thinks that he is being moral with his middle of the road eclectic pragmatic politics, but it is actually an example of lack of integrity.In a moral context, such as protecting freedom and the Constitution, extremism on the side of the good is not wacko, but is a virtue and a duty. The abstract conceptual framework of the good cannot be compromised. Every time a concession is make by the good to the evil, the evil benefits in the short run and the long run.

John adores barry. Always has. I don’t think he ever wanted or intended to be the president. He’s bewitched by barry.

John is the jane fonda of the senate.
A traitor to the republican party.
A shame on the good state of Arizona.
