If, if, if...

If we had a man in the oval office, Syria and Libya wouldn’t even be in the news.

And debating socialist health care was also a great idea. Yeah. Even though our side won the debate, the crooked scumbags cheated and forced the change anyway. We need to filibuster these crooks from now until eternity.

And we also won the AGW debate and look what that got us. Truth, honesty, integrity, none of that applies anymore to DC.

He would have been just as bad as Obama. They work for the same master.

The only reason I pulled the lever for this SOB in 2008 was because of his running mate.

Headline should read, “I just don’t understand the GOP grass roots demanding a filibuster!”

I think he would have been worse.

The Republican leadership would have done 100% of what he wanted to do. And in all too many instances, he’s a stunt double for Obama.

At least with Obama, they once in a while make a pretense of objecting.

When is the last time we saw a group of current Republican office holders take McCain to task for his treachery? Never is the answer. He actually gives them cover to adopt and push liberal agenda.

McCain has been and will continue to be a blight on this nation. If we only knew the full measure of the damage he has done to this nation...

“Sen. McCain: I ‘don’t understand’...”

He should have stopped right there and then we could at least say he told the truth ONE TIME! Old Fool!

This one is for Terry Anderson.

FLUSH the JOHN - McCain’s Got to Go!
Introduced on the Terry Anderson Show March, 2010
http://towncriernews.blogspot.com/search?q=flush+the+john

FLUSH THE JOHN!

Johnny and Teddy were Senators
On opposite sides of the aisle
They got together and drafted a bill
Guaranteed to make illegals smile
Amnesty was their game – and they had no shame

Johnny and Senator Feingold
Gave campaign finance a try
But then the highest court in the land
Said the 1st amendment must apply
Gotta play by the rules – now Johnny looks like a fool

Johnny and Mr. Obama
They both agree Gitmo should close
But bringing terrorists into the USA
Is a plan that we oppose
No, they don’t belong – and Johnny’s got it all wrong

Now Johnny and Senator Lieberman
Got together on cap and trade
Anemic hands across the aisle
Gonna send the country to its grave
It’s time to let him know – old Johnny’s gotta go

Johnny believes Global Warming
Limousine Liberals and all
Congressional junkets to Copenhagen
Everybody’s havin’ a ball
Just ask Al Gore - Johnny knows the score

S & L Man Charlie Keating
He came to Johnny one day
Said “the government boys are sniffing around
How much to make ‘em go away?”
Did Johnny take a bribe to join the Keating 5?

Now fast-forward 20 years later
Banks are in trouble again
Johnny says, “Let’s bail ‘em out
It’s just a trillion – or maybe ten.
Let’s put some wind in their sails – ‘cause they’re too big to fail.”

We know there’s oil in Alaska
Drilling won’t cause any harm
But Johnny agrees with the tree-hugging geeks
Gas is gonna cost a leg and an arm
Johnny why can’t you see what’s good for you and me?

Now everyone knows about ACORN
They get lots of taxpayers’ dough
Prostitution rings and voter fraud
And home loans to any old schmoe
No matter ACORN’s crimes – Johnny thinks they’re just fine

We’re tired of hearin’ your flip-flops
We’re tired of hearin’ your lies
You may think we’re all dummies but you can’t
Pull the wool over our eyes
You’re career’s hit a snag - so start packin’ your bags

‘Cause Johnny, you’ve worn out your welcome
It’s time to bid DC goodbye
Go write a book or learn to cook
And eat a little humble pie
Just ask Sheriff Joe – he says you gotta go

Yeah, go Johnny, go – it’s time to hit the road.
Good-bye

"Sen. McCain: I ‘don’t understand’ GOP threats to filibuster Senate gun bill ..."

...... The Useful Idiot Pawns used by the Socialist Left rarely, if ever, understand anything about Conservatism and the necessity for its existence.

This is the problem. Sarah will NEVER stab him because he picked her for VP. She's stuck. Someone else will have to do it. The Tea Party MUST run an alternative, but Sarah, I'm sure, will stay out of the fray.

Maybe even Cruz will have to campaign in AZ. for an alternative.

This should also be a warning for The establishment. You run McCain and he loses, then turn around and run Romney for an embarrassing loss with 8% unemployment. Being middle of the road mush is not what attracts voters to your cause. We need bold conservatives to win back the presidency and the Senate.

one of the world’s greatest deliberative bodies

A bunch of "amish" yoots tweeting to decide where to assemble as a flash mod is more impressive.

McCain never misses an opportunity to mug for the press and screw conservatives. That prick is way past his sell-by date.

I think McCain knows exactly what he is doing. He would support a national data base for gun ownership registry. Then the government will know who has what. He has done so much damage by not defending the constitution. He should just retire. Arizona, please replace him. He may turn out to be one of the most disliked republican politicians ever.
