McCain doesn’t speak for anyone I know.

Bump! I hear you but we have to keep trying to get their attention, keep blasting them.

That graphic is sadly right on the mark and powerful.

Whatever the issue is, you can always be sure John McCain is standing there on the wrong side, stabbing us in the back.

McCain always seems to be the key POS in any backstabbing of Constitutional governance in this republic. Soros sure gets his money’s worth out of him.

I’m no fan of McCain and not making excuses but I believe his A-4 was hit by a missile from an aircraft to his rear.

McCain is the greaatest saboteur of America since Jane Fonda and John Kerry.

The real trajedy here is....that our system left us with no other choice but him vs. THE most radical candidate in the history of this nation. Not much of a damned choice, IOW. The fix has been in all along.

Of course the fix has been in all along. I distinctly remember reading about McCain flying coach, handling his own bags, and driving rental cars on the campaign trail in the early 2008 primary.

How does someone go from being a wanna-be contender with no organization, and no cash at the beginning of a primary, to being the Republican nominee at the end?

When 2 + 2 = 5, you know you're being hoodwinked.

It was McCain's job all along to graciously 'lose' to the radical Communist, Obama. Even if he had to throw the race to do it.

This makes me want to move to Az, just so I can vote his A@@ out of office and put him into jail.

“It was his A-4 that fired the rocket on the Forrestal’s deck that damned near ended up sinking the carrier.” WRONG the Zuni 5 inch rocket that was fired hit the jet NEXT to MacPain’s, MacPain escaped by going hand over hand and dangling and dropping off of the Re-Fueling rod to safety.

I hate to defend McLame because he’s been a traitor since the day he first took office as a Congressman and worked with Kerry to shut down investigations into POWs. But he actually was a hero that day on the Forrestal. After he escaped his plane he helped another pilot escape the flames IIRC. No easy thing with Jet A fuel blazing up everywhere.

During the last election cycle, I was able to observe Senator McCain up close and personal for over an hour.

Whatever else you might say, Senator McCain is not stupid, nor does he lack energy. He is smart, aware, and effective for what he decides he wants to push.

Unfortunately, this is often the wrong thing and works against us. I am very concerned that he influence his junior Senator, Jeff Flake, who has the possibility of being very good.

McCain, in my opinion, is an old style “progressive”, which means at his core he is a big government nanny state type.

Can't have background checks of US presidential candidates, though.

That would be racist.

McCain is bought and paid for by Soros without any doubt whatsoever.

McCain, Thanks for bring us Palin, now go away.

Palin has a house in Arizona now, she should run for his seat.

Though I depise McCain to my core....I find nothing in the article but supposition he will back background checks...

Of course I have no doubt he would vote for it .....so he can be the media maverick ...again...

If I was mistaken -- as, apparently, I am -- I apologize to all. And to the Senator.

Nonetheless, there remain roughly 47 reasons why I consider him a useless, opportunistic political waste of time.

And, let the record reflect, I voted for his sorry butt -- full well recognizing it was a sorry butt -- in 2008.

Even after he called me -- and everybody else who objected to his "comprehensive immigration reform" -- a "bigoted asshole"...

At bottom, I really do detest the man...
