A member of The Greater Phoenix Tea Party politely Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) to apologize for calling Tea Party members in the House and Senate "hobbits." McCain, who was quoting the Wall Street Journal, made his comments on the Senate floor.
"I am sorry if it was misunderstood. I am not sorry for what I said," McCain said to a heated audience.
"I mean, why should I when it’s the facts," Senator McCain added.

I am not fan of Trumps and have taken heat for it, but we need to be reminded where John McCain stands in the fight and he clear stands with our enemies. Benedict Arnold was one of the greatest and winningest military leaders of the Revolutions, but he cross the line and McCain crossed that same line long ago.

Wacko birds, crazies, hobbits.
Suck it up, folks. He's a 'hero', after all.

And no one would have ever heard of him if his father was not an Admiral. The clown is a fraud.

If the tea party are hobbits, McCain is Lotho Sackville-Baggins, who sided with Saruman and made himself Chief Shirriff.

By the way, it’s not in the movie when the hobbits get back from the war and take back the Shire with swords and a fight. Me thinks McCain outed himself as a commie dem sympathizer with this comment.
To: Kartographer
McCain has been a Democrat in an R jersey for years. He authored the 2006 and 2007 amnesty attempts, threw the 2008 election and came back to form the Gang of Eight with Rubberio in 2013. (There were other Gangs along the way)
I can’t wait for him to be defeated, retire or die.

Only the people of AZ still see something, I know not what, in that silly old coot.

he will not be defeated. He will not retire, so you are left with one choice. If that happens, his widow, South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham is in the wings waiting to fill his shoes.

For a guy who supposedly, oops, I mean, ahem, for a guy who endured daily beatings at the hands Jane Fonda’s friends, he sure seems thin-skinned when it comes to criticism.

He factually believes in hobbits? I know he graduated at the bottom of his class but this is ridiculous.

Fact? Hobbits are characters from a fairy tale. They do not exist in the real world. McLame is scum.
To: Kartographer
This coming from the original Hobbit?
