If he really “doesn’t understand” he must be going senile.

More likely he’s just being an a**hole, as usual.

Earth to Senator McCain... a filibuster is not a measure to END DEBATE... a filibuster is a means of EXTENDING DEBATE. Voting to end a filibuster (otherwise know as Cloture) is a vote to end debate and proceed to a vote.

So, Senator McCain... Here’s your question thrown right back at you... why are YOU trying to end debate? What are YOU afraid of?

He understands damn well.

And he’s going into “Maverick” mode because someone is daring to stand up to his “friends across the aisle”.

And maybe it’s not “Maverick” mode.

Maybe it’s “Useful Idiot” mode. Hard to tell with him anymore. I’m not sure he even knows where his loyalty should be anymore.

McCain hates conservatives.....at least since 2000. He has been out to tweak us ever since. I think he lives for it.

“..McCain hates conservatives...”

yeah...and we queued up to support. I remember making the case to do so out here, much to my everlasting regret.

But the alternative was the assclown we have now....still...

2008 McCain....old man,hated by conservatives, and a lunatic.

2012 Romney...very liberal, very rich, Mormon.

Obama might as well have picked who would run against him.

Any bets that whoever we end up with next time will be even more liberal? Of course, by then the ballots will all be in Spanish, anyway......

Romney was just as bad. Our party won’t back conservatives anymore.

He’s a useful idiot. They are in abundance.

Amazing how many liberals are looking at their medical expenses and saying , “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over?”

Hey John, why not just add another 5,000 pages to the bill and then have McConnell introduce it six hours before the vote and then we’ll see what’s in it after you’ve voted on it.

Sort of leaves us with no alternative than to form a third party, and that gives the Dems a huge advantage

The RNC “RINOplex” knows we have nowhere to go, so that leaves the only solution to be a purging of the entrenched RINOS. Easier said than done.

Can you say Chrissssss Crisssssstie?

Now I may sing a different under the gun, faced with 4 years of Hitlery, Plugs, O'Malley, or Cuomo Jr. (90% of us backed McLame and Glove after all) but here in the cold light of winter I have no intention of voting for that fat clucking traitor if he is the nominee.

He helped Obama win, I believe intentionally so he could run in 2016. Do you remember his keynote address? It was all about him. Between him and Eastwood, what a joke of a convention.

In the unlikely event his boot licking of Obama wasn't intentional then he is too stupid to live let alone be President.

Can't Arizona do any better than that?

In '10 he had like $25 million left that conservatives gave him to beat Com-Urkel. He didn't need to spend it because he wasn't trying to actually win, so he was able to spend something like $20 of that conservative money for each vote it took him to beat a conservative primary challenger. I doubt he'll run again in 2016.
