Sen. John McCain (R-Sunday Shows) expressed bewilderment on CBS' "Face the Nation" that GOP Sens. Cruz, Lee and Paul would filibuster gun control legislation. “I don’t understand it,” McCain said. “The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” With all due respect to Sen. McCain, that is almost completely backward.
The purpose of the US Senate is not to be some federal debating society. It is not tasked with taking the great issues of the day and giving its "august" members a platform for their musings on policy. The public does not look to the Senate for guidance in its deliberations on the issues.
The Senate's first, and only, task is to uphold the Constitution. Originally, the Senate was designed to act as the states' check on an encroaching federal government. Senators were appointed by state legislatures to be their voice in Washington. The House was designed to be the voice of the people. Sadly, those days are long gone.

They’ve committed treason. Trial and public execution.
I was listening to some Friday shows this morning and I thought that I heard them mention his net worth is $180+ million. However, I bing’ed it and it looks like his net worth is listed as anywhere from $10M-40M. Either way, how on earth does any politician gain such a net worth on such low wages....
....hmmm, the cesspool is making it evident why he and his ilk would fight so hard against the few Representatives that the Tea Party has put in place. He, and his ilk, fear losing their power to enrich themselves!
That’s because YOU ARE AN IDIOT JUAN
The last major piece o’ crap you gave us was “McCain-Feingold”
You are a democrat infiltrator, I think
McCain only gets token opposition from the Democrats. Hayworth tried to beat him in the primary, but the media filled the airwaves with diatribes that even many Freepers here bought into. They had him described as a lunatic one day and a crook the next, while McCain ran these elder statesman type ads.
I don't know anybody down here who voted for McCain, but you know how that goes.
Well Juan, it’s like this. There’s this thing called The Bill of Rights...
To remove McCain’s asshat would be to remove McCain. Logic to this wet squib is like Prep-H to a hemorrhoid.
bandleader~ : “ .. We have not got a ”Democracy”;we have(instead)a”Representative Republic”.
This means that our representatives listen to what We,The People want done and get it done!”
True That !!
.. and that is exactly what McLame doesn’t understand.
He votes like the ‘ Power Elite’ (!)..
and NOT as a representative of the people, ..
and the lobbyist monies assure his continued misrepresentation of the electorate.

BINGO !!!
And we here in MN have a CAIR muzlim commie pig Keith Ellison in the House and a liberal radical dumb-ass buffoon clown Al Franken in the Senate.... sigh.
I feel your pain. Levin and Stabenow are goose-stepping Obamabots just waiting for the next set of marching orders from the man himself...will of the people be damned.
I think McCains view since his POTUS bid loss is if you can’t beat em join em!
“...McCain: ‘I Don’t Understand’ Filibustering Gun Control...”
No, Juan...of course you wouldn’t understand... Because it means NOT giving in to the other side.
We need to give the worthless bastard back to the gooks!
Sadly, if legislatures still appointed senators AZ would probably keep him in.
Dear John:
STFU!
^I type that so much I need to write a MACRO!!!!
” McCain was falling all over himself praising Schumer his amnesty partner. “
McCain got most of his money from the pro-amnesty, wealthy Republican (Chamber of Commerce)whores. These people are every bit as evil as Schumer. Their deep pockets are the reason we can’t get rid of other RINO amnesty whores, like Lindsay Graham, and others.
A Pox on all Arizona Republicans who voted to re-elect this jackass. I prayed to get rid of McLame and Lindsey Gramnesty and my prayers were not answered.
Not that it really matters. We are pretty much screwed with or without them.
McCain’s a fool.
I’ll bet the puffed up elitist goes to Vietnam and expresses amazement about how ‘nice’ the people are... It never occurs to people like McCain that if he was dependent and helpless many of those ‘nice’ people wouldn’t be so nice... They’d have him back in a cage in a second.
It’s the same for Undocumented Democrats. They commit a criminal act by breaking into our country and they’ll keep breaking the laws. They established who they were when they crossed the border illegally.
BUT they’ll kiss McCain’s butt.
Undocumented Democrats won’t harass his wealthy family - they won’t take his job - the street gangs they form won’t be after his grand-kids... Because John McCain’s an effing elitist like Schumer. If these ‘two peas in a pod’ elitist want illegals here - lets move them next to their families and friends. Let them be inclusive for a while...
And NO this is not prejudice against Mexicans. If these idiots puffed up fools think we need more Brown People - fine. Send the illegals home and let in an equal number of Mexicans who followed the rules and stayed in line to get here. Those types won’t be preying on the rest of us. They won’t start out as criminals...
You’re a fool John McCain...
