That make sense, as Former Democrat John McCain is really a Democrat, wearing a Republican tag.

John McCain needed Independents, not Democrats to win and as Progressive as he is, he wasn't going to get it.

McCain is the last guy Republicans want stumping for them.

Well if he's a rino then at least he's a moderate and that's better than 90% of the dems and 90% of the repubs we have running the show now

Not really.
Compromising the Constitution, is not my idea of better than totally assassinating it. It is the same not better, with one being more drawn out and painful, creating serfs.


It is always amusing to see a Progressive, tell the Conservatives who to make their master. It is always another Progressive.

McCain and Flake have both been pretty center along with the Governor Brewer who brought in Medicaid expansion. McCain and Brewer have both slapped down the Arizona Tea Party.

Boehner has started throwing red meat to the base. He's started ranting and raving about unemployed people.

I tend to agree, Bush Jr. & Sr., along with every president since Franklin Pierce, no matter which party they were from or representing.

The big offenders, being Lincoln, Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Nixon, Reagan, Bush Jr. and now Obama.

Trey Gowdy
Reasonable people aren't looking for red meat, and they never WERE looking for red meat. They're looking for truth, regardless of where the truth takes them. As Trey Gowdy said a few months ago, facts aren't partisan.
