McCain To Fox News: No, The Shutdown Is The GOP's Fault
TPM ^

Posted on 10/11/2013 9:54:23 AM PDT by Arthurio

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) channeled his inner-maverick Friday during an appearance on Fox News Channel, repeatedly reminding the conservative network that the government shutdown was brought about by the quixotic effort to halt the Affordable Care Act.

When anchor Martha MacCallum asked him about the White House's handling of the suspension of death benefits to military families, McCain said that while the administration deserves blame it was a GOP-induced shutdown that caused the problem in the first place.

Actually, she was already a rising star in 2008. What McLame did was
wreck her career by bringing her to national attention prematurely, and allowing the idiots in his campaign to mismanage her message.

This has probably been reported already but McCain’s phone lines are totally full and not taking any messages. Been that way since he started attacking Cruz.

McCain is the poster child for what is wrong in Washington. He and his ilk are the cause of the mess.

Notice how the dems always seem to have one of the GOPe waiting in the wings to go against his own party. They don’t even have to say a word. They just let their hand picked GOPe traitor do all the work for them. First it was traitor Rubio and now the perennial traitorous pick, McCain.

And if for some reason they can’t go to their first choice, like McCain back in 2010 being up for re-election, they have a second choice such as Linda Graham step up and do all their dirty deeds. Miss Grahamnesty has been quiet of late because she is up for re-election this time.

Pretty apparent there really isn't a difference in the Democrat's and GOP.....they just enjoy putting on the show to engage us for a time and then back to their buddy times on our Nichol.

I would be pitched off FR if I were to say anything about McCain right now because of language.

Civil language is not enough to describe him anymore.

No matter how bad Obama is, I think the election of McCain may have been worse. He would done pretty much what Obama has done and Republicans would have had two failed Presidents in a row (three, if you think about Bush Sr’s time in office).

There can be absolutely no questioning the fact that within the aged hierarchy of the Republican Party there be traitors to the principles of liberty.
Was there anywhere near this much resistance when the communists took over the Democratic Party?
McCain, besides being a very stupid man, is generally wrong on every issue including who he blames for the shutdown.
Yes. I loathe and despise John McCain.

RNC called me last night and i told them the same thing.
I said if the GOP caves on 0bamacare and debt limit then never call me again because my money is going to Ted Cruz and the Allen West Guardian Fund. (like it already does)
