This week marked an earthquake of a seismic movement within the Republican ranks and the results has been mostly positive. However, as a result of Rand Paul standing up for our Constitutional rights, he shone the light around the Washington insiders and one man in particular looks exposed for all his political pride. That man is John McCain. He is an old, bitter white man who lost a Presidential election back in 08 and now sees his power slipping away and REFUSES to embrace and encourage THE RIGHT THING which is WHAT REPRESENTS AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Whatever happened to people quitting their day jobs before running for president? Then if your wax wings melt you can slink off into darkness like a good boy. At least Al Gore has been merely a freelance nuisance since 2000. Even Bob Dole knew when to quit, for liberty’s sake!
Yet McCain struts around like anyone still cares, and Kerry rose a few notches. Imagine still having to hear about Romney a decade from now. Blech!
I think where he really jumped the shark was in 2008. The financial crisis was just breaking. It seems as if there was a closed door meeting in Washington wherein he spoke eloquently and in a commanding fashion while at the same meeting Obozo was exposed as being the empty suit that we all know that he is.
Then somehow - all of a sudden - 2 things happened
- McCain decided to suspend his campaign on the eve of one the presidential debates.
- Revisionists came along and rewrote the history of that meeting so that it was McCain who was in the corner sucking his thumb and it was Obozo who “took charge”.
Arguably the 2008 election was decided over those couple of days.
From that moment on McCain has been Obozo’s water boy. Some would argue it happened long before but for me this was the clear demarcation point.
One of the best opinions I have ever read!
“the Ulsterman Report as it brought out an excellent article called “Out with the Old And in with the New”.”
Oh I think he should stick around. As long as he continues to behave like the RINO’s very own Elmer Fudd, he is being very helpful in hastening the demise of ‘country club’ Republicans once and for all.
How can legislator's exempt themselves and their staffs from, say the obamacare "tax"?
No question about it.
He’s a hell of a lot better than Democrats—he does many things right.
Great lyrics! Thanks, AuntB!
The guy who wrote and performed it was really good, too. It was on you tube, now I can’t find it, but McCain is pretty good at getting things, shall we say...rearranged...on google searches, etc.
[snip]John McCain - the WORST Senator money can buy!
Heres another thing...he has purchased relevant keywords on the net, so no matter what youre looking for you get his campaign websites.
The Search For A Candidate (from the pres primary, 2008)
McCains people say that every dollar they spend on online search advertising brings in three or four bucks.
The national polls dont reflect it, but in one sense John McCain is the clear front runner in the presidential race: he leads in search-engine ads. When you type McCains name into Google, alongside or above the standard search results youll always get a text ada sponsored linkthat leads you to a Web site soliciting campaign contributions for the Arizona senator. What happens when you type Giuliani into Google? You get a paid link to the former New York mayors site. But you also get a McCain ad.
The other obvious search words involve search terms people use when researching specific issues. Here again, McCain is busy; his people say that at various times theyve bought 10,000 different words. Giuliani pops up with flat tax and illegal immigrant. But when I tried universal health care, nothing from any candidate came up. Vary it a little by typing health care reform and you get a paid link to John McCain

Well shuttin-up ain't one of them.
Like what? Break Reagan's 11th Commandment?
I don't like how he attacks those in his own party more than he's ever attacked any dim.
He needs to just join the Dim party...then he won't have to work so hard to reach across the aisle.
I completely agree with you about him attacking people in his own party—kinda like I see here on FR all the time. Actually, McCain probably likes more fellow Republicans than most Freepers. Most Freepers just hate all of them to the point, they’d rather have Democrats and many times on FR it was stated that Obama was more desirable than Romney. That’s dumb.
