Hilariously infuriating, or infuriatingly hilarious?
YOU’RE ONE OF US!!!!
Make sure you have an empty stomach before you watch.
These days? He’s helping kill Cornyn’s border security amendments and pushing a phony-baloney new “border security” travesty designed to provide political cover and get a filibuster-proof majority to grant legalization now.
YOU’RE ONE OF US!!!!!

Rodney King's Spirit (ae12ec) — 6/20/2013 @ 8:20 pmCountryEgo FirstHonesty doesn’t matter to him. I think he’s a sociopath (as is Obama).
Now they’re totally different and I don’t think McCain would have been as corrupt, but neither care about consistency, they’re all about expediency. No wonder they became highest-level politicians!
Former Conservative (6e026c) — 6/20/2013 @ 8:34 pmMy only quibble, Steve, is that I don’t think he cares about being honest to leftists as such, he just happens to agree with them a lot (except maybe in military matters where he wants to invade everyone all the time; an effect of war trauma?).
But we agree about his sociopathy. The fact that he can attempt to use several tens of millions of people whom he disagrees with on most things to elevate himself to great power does not speak well of him.
Former Conservative (6e026c) — 6/20/2013 @ 9:17 pmThere is no question that McCain is a tough guy. History proves it.
He is not a tough politician. History proves it.
So, salute one and be disgusted with the other. Don’t forget the one you salute. He deserves it.
Ag80 (eb6ffa) — 6/20/2013 @ 9:20 pmMcCain is, always was, always will be a complete disgrace. He deserved jail for the Keating Five stuff. For everything since, he deserves unrelenting scorn.
Kevin Stafford (1d1b9e) — 6/20/2013 @ 9:21 pmI think he’s a totally tough politician, Ag80, I just think he’s lying a lot.
He doesn’t bend to leftist pressures: he lies to rightists. He resists their pressures “admirably”.
Former Conservative (6e026c) — 6/20/2013 @ 9:38 pmok, I’m back. You know that taste you get in your mouth right before you vomit? Writing about John McCain earlier did that. But nothing came of it. Hopefully this will turn the trick cuz I need to lose weight. So on to:
I didn’t mean to imply McCain kept his word to Kennedy because they were fellow leftists. Indeed, I didn’t mean to imply McCain has any ideological principles to sell.
When you think about it what Kennedy did at and after Chappaquiddick was pretty damned sociopathic (Ms. Kopechne remains unavailable for comment). Maybe there was a meeting of the minds. A Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, so to speak.
Steve57 (ab2b34) — 6/20/2013 @ 9:43 pmWith all due respect to John F. Kennedy who said this…
…he didn’t have the misfortune of living long enough to be forced to learn of John McCain’s existence.
Me? I’m kicking myself in the desire to find out in what way, how, I ever associated myself with an association that once associated with John McCain.
I have no good answers.
All I can say in my defense is that had I known then what I know know now I never would have joined the Navy. Perhaps a more reputable maritime force like the auxiliary wing of the Daughters of the American Revolution or the cast or crew of “Baywatch.”

happyfeet (8ce051) — 6/20/2013 @ 10:02 pmHa ha. You and me both.
Former Conservative (6e026c) — 6/20/2013 @ 10:04 pmAll I can say in my defense is that had I known then what I know know now I never would have joined the Navy.
I can’t imagine the situation described below has gotten any better over the past 11 months. However, perhaps all the ongoing PC silencing of enlistees or military chaplains who aren’t sufficiently pro-GLBT enough for the upper brass, or who aren’t kind enough to those guilty of “workplace violence” (how ya doing, Nidal Hasan?) may have turned things around. Then, too, the wonders of the NSA and other government agencies, the beauty of Benghazi, the touching side of the Boston bombers, Russia and the FBI, and the warm fuzzies created by people like Snowden, must be having a soothing effect.
America’s chickens are coming home to roost, and we (ie, the electorate in general) are all to blame.
Mark (4db773) — 6/20/2013 @ 10:27 pmOh, I misread. Not the navy, no. Just rooting for the GOP in ’08.
As terrible and tyrannical as Obama is, McCain was the other choice. That is sad.
Former Conservative (6e026c) — 6/20/2013 @ 10:30 pmMy Dad was a Commander in the U.S. Navy, and came close to attaining the rank of Captain.
I think I knew him well enough to know he would have held Sen. McCain in contempt.
Patterico (9c670f) — 6/20/2013 @ 10:48 pmThat’s it exactly. There’s no reason for someone so infinitely flexible on actual policies to be in power. He’s not on a mission to shape this country in whatever way he thinks is right, or he wouldn’t be able to pull 180s all the time. How many RINOs are like that? I can respect a sincere liberal democrat a lot more than I can respect an insincere RINO. Granted, not all liberal democrats are sincere, to say the least, and not all RINOs are cynical.
I recall how frustrated I was in 2008 when the GOP decided that our answer to Hillary or Obama was John Mccain. The GOP’s message was not that turning left was wrong, but to differ as to the degree we should turn. In 2012 it doubled down. If you are a conservative, it’s a frustrating political climate.
Dustin (e5e0b7) — 6/20/2013 @ 11:29 pm#15 I like that because if your remember Barack was “Hope and Change” while John was “Country First”
And sadly if McCain really felt that he would put Country First above Obama then he was required to fight dirty in 2008. Instead he told his campaign staff to back off all the ugliness in Barack’s background.
If McCain had run Obama corrupt using Rezcko 24 by 7 and then backdrop 20 years in Church with “God Damn America” —– he would have won. Same can be said for Romney.
But as with ALL RINO they are more concerned over their Cocktail Party status above all, EGO First.
Rodney King's Spirit (ae12ec) — 6/21/2013 @ 7:16 amEverytime McCain’s face appears on my TV, I change the channel. If NSA isn’t monitoring my satellite feed, I expect that Direct TV is, so I’m confident the data is being collected and possibly analyzed for pattern recognition, at least for commercial applications.
If inquiring minds look beyond ways for selling soap and for political implications, an unmistakable pattern should be relatively easy to spot once they realize the abrupt channel switching isn’t just mindless surfing. The common element indicates a deep visceral abhorrence for the insulting prattle of corrupt politicians, other two-faced liars, and leftist spin meisters.
I won’t listen to it, watch it on mute, or allow it in my home.
ropelight (d5a0bb) — 6/21/2013 @ 9:30 amMcCain is a walking talking argument for term limits. Clear he has nothing else in his life except to feed his ego with daily TV appearances. As awful as Obama has been,at least he has some coherent philosophy, even if it is cradlew to grave socialism. There’s no such coherence to McCain other than belligerence to whom ever he perceives as the enemy at any given moment. You can respect and honor his service and sacrifice and still view his current actions as disrgaceful.
Bugg (ba4ca9) — 6/21/2013 @ 10:54 amPatterico: McCain is helping kill Cornyn’s border security amendments and pushing a phony-baloney new “border security” travesty
Cornyn’s plan is just as much phony baloney as the other. Cornyn can’t argue his plan will “work” and the Corker one won’t. He and others are just arguing that until it works, nothing should happen in the way of amnesty.
But he has no argument that it will work, except maybe the idea that then people on the other side of the issue would want the border control to work.
