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.

mcCain is no maverick, never has been.

He is not even a RINO — he is a RAT in a GOP suit.

The MSM stills makes a big deal out of presenting “moderate Republican John McCain”’s positions as the way the GOP should go. He’s a quisling.

Ever hear any protests from the GOP-e when John McCain does this stuff? That's why I decided that any party willing to put up with - if not endorse - his crap wasn't a party worth belonging to.

He is a cross between McBeth and Ground Hog’s day.

The Press only calls him for commentary because it may be a different day, they can count on Backstabbing Johnny to do what he’s best at. Grab a long knife, find the first Conservative around and stick it right between the shoulder blades.

The voters of Arizona won’t let you kick him out. They love him.

Not exactly true. McCain scores with the liberal college crowds and the Phoenix and Tucson inner city liberals who somehow think that they will not be eaten at the Marxist picnic. The collars around Tucson, Phoenix and Flagstaff are pretty conservative as are the out lands. However, if you look to see how the political districts have been gerrymandered its not hard to see why we get the results we do. ie: my congressional district is about one/half mile wide and snakes from just north of Tucson to Flagstaff over two hundred miles north. Gerrymandered to guarantee a democrat victory? Nah!!!

Exactly. By the same token, the MSM chooses our presidential candidates... they chose McCain for us, and they chose Romney. They are already working to insure that Christie will be our next candidate.

The media is the enemy of freedom-loving people in this country.

Wrong, many true conservatives here want him gone and are horrified by his behavior.

“It’s a problem that he is working against the party that is hurting us. He is working against Americans. It’s like a Daisy chain up there, Obama bends over and Harry Reid sticks his head in ,Pelosi sticks her head in Harry’s, then Hoyer sticks his head in Pelosi’s, then John McCain sticks his head in Hoyer’s, then it goes on with Graham, McConnell, Hatch , Chuck the schmuck on and on, until half the Congress is stuck together head to rectum like a train.”

Hahahaha! You must have seen the same picture that I saw on FB this morning. Will post in in the next post....

Newscorp (fox, wsj) put out a bogus poll yesterday, with NBC, about poor public opinion of GOP ( oversampled gov workers, 800 respondents) then they put McCain on to repeat the message
