The IRS documents released by the government watchdog group on April 9 revealed that the senator, along with Senator Carl Levin, pressured the agency to go after political nonprofits which turned out to be overwhelmingly conservative non-profits..
A May 1, 2013, email exchange between Lois Lerner and other top IRS staffers revealed that 11 days prior to Lerners admission in a ABA meeting that the IRS had inappropriately targeted conservative groups, she met with select top staffers from the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee in a marathon meeting to discuss concerns raised by both Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) that the IRS was not reining in political advocacy groups in response to the Supreme Courts Citizens United decision. Senator McCain had been the chief sponsor of the McCain-Feingold Act and called the Citizens United decision, which overturned portions of the Act, one of the worst decisions I have ever seen. Among those attending the meeting were key aides to the committee minority ranking member, John McCain.

John McCain has finally gone sheepshit crazy. It has been in the works a long time, but now he’s over the edge and is never coming back.
So long, John. We won’t miss you.
Juan McCain Lois Lerner no difference.
See my tagline.
I’ve regretted some votes in my life. But the vote for McCain is my biggest regret. I will never again be a rino voter.
If a true conservative third party was created the rinos like McCain would lose and they’d all be gone in one election.
McCain gets the Mexican vote.
John McCain—the original Manchurian Candidate.
It’s way past time to designate McCain a traitor and implement persona-non-grata.
He was a horrible pilot, too. Two crashes and shot down because he didn’t follow the flight plan.
I don’t consider what he did as service to our country. He was where he was because of who his daddy was.
I could not vote for McCain. I voted for Bob Barr.
I do regret holding my nose for Romney.
I didn`t think McCain could sink any lower.

“He was a horrible pilot, too. Two crashes and shot down because he didnt follow the flight plan.

Don’t forget McCain graduated 5th from the bottom (894th) in his Naval Academy class. I’ll bet this included inflated mercy grades from profs who knew his dad and grandpa (both admirals).
My retired military officer dad feels the same as you, that McCain was incompetent and reckless, and should have been washed out from the very start. He was completely floated by his granddad and father’s achievements.
John McCain, you are a corrupt bag of excrement.
He crashed a plane while in training in Corpus Christi, Texas. That would wash out any pilot without connections.
I’ll always believe he got special treatment in the POW camp, too. Remember his acceptance speech? He said “They broke me.” He was admitting he sang. His fellow POWs called him “The canary”. Many former POWs hate his guts. Including the one who worked for Perot’s campaign.
McCain is a certified RINO traitor. De-elect the prig!
John McCain, public outrage, background knives in our backs.
Arizona is among the most conservative states, I don’t understand how McCain keeps being re-elected or why a viable Republican primary challenger never emerged. All I can think of is that the McCain camp must be really good at getting out the vote in the barrios.
I think the McStain $$ machine is all-powerful over ANY newbie who tries to come onto the scene.
TX has the same problemo with Cornpone Cornyn. It took the tool Kay Bailey to retire, and/or for a Ted Cruz to go for the seat/up against establishment, to seat a conservative.
Shame on AZ and TX for allowing these liberals to continue to be elected.
That's probably a big part of it. The political machine supporting establishment candidates can basically black out all upstart challengers by guaranteeing that they have no access to friendly media outlets or sources of funding. Still, Tea Party candidates have unseated establishment GOP incumbents in states that are much less conservative than AZ, so that tells us that the establishment fights harder to keep McCain than it has for other liberal Republicans.
