Sen. John McCain, prominent among the Washington ranks who have questioned former Sen. Chuck Hagel’s suitability for the top Defense Department post, said Sunday he will not exert his power to block Hagel’s nomination.

Each senator has the power to prevent a nomination from advancing to the floor, and one of McCain’s close colleagues, Sen. Lindsey Graham, has suggested he would put President Barack Obama’s nominee to lead the CIA on hold while awaiting answers on the U.S. Consulate attack in September in Benghazi, Libya.

IMO, McLame needs a few million calls to his sewer hole in DC.

Replace him with a lab mouse.
The lab mouse would actually accomplish something and be less annoying.

Wow, that McCain is one courageous fighter! He really knows how to take a stand on principle!

Wet spaghetti has more stiffness than McCain.

“I wanna be one of the Cool Kids. How do I be one of the Cool Kids?!”
That is the mentality of Rinos in a nutshell.
And why they sell us out to play paddy cake with the Dems at every chance they get, as you said.

Our typical government.Just another of the many reasons why I’m done participating in the fraudulent voting process. Whatever they say they will do different when they get to D.C.

Hagel is one of the boy’s, one of the fraternity—of course McLame will not block him.

Not only that McLame will go out of his way to help the traitor John Kerry be SOS.

Arizona voters should have done us all a favor last election and gotten rid of the thoroughly Brainwashed and now senile McLame.

Then why bother saying anything at all, McCain? If you have nothing substantive to offer, STFU.

Gee I am shocked. Now you know why you were not elected Presient McPanzy. Every time this old loon opens his mouth he makes his ignorant daughter a bit smarter.
