I’ve always like John McCain. He’s the original reason I became interested in politics, and admire and respect his service to our country. But dude…seriously? Let me take you back to September of 2008, when we were in the midst of the mother of all financial calamities. John McCain suspended his Presidential campaign to head [...]

McCain to GOP: You FAIL!
Posted: February 20, 2009 by John Brodigan in Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: GOP, internet, mccain, meghan mccain
“I used to categorize many of the advisers in my father’s campaign into one of two groups: those that “respected” the Internet and those who didn’t.” – Meghan McCain When Meghan McCain launched “McCainBlogette.com” with a few of her friends, I thought it was a great idea. It was mainly non-political outside of the fact [...]
John McCain is a Cranky Poopy Pants

I had written a blog post a few weeks ago called “You Can’t Spell Bi-Partisan without ‘B.S.’,” and this definitely follows along with that. Apparently liberals are upset with John McCain because he isn’t being as mad-bipartisan as they want him to be. McCain disagreed with a piece of legislation, and actually had the audacity [...]
McCain Finds His Niz-uts

Am I the only one who finds it odd that John McCain seems to be running harder for Senate re-election than he did for President? Yes, while the Senate debates the crap sandwich known as the Great Fiscal Suicide Act of 2009, where we win some and lose some, former Presidential candidate John McCain seems [...]
Fiscal Suicide: Mac is Back?

Everybody’s watching you now… Everybody waits for you now… All eyes are going to be on John McCain…pretty much anytime he says anything. Besides scanning his words for any hidden messages aboot Sarah Palin, everyone wants to know where he’s going to stand on issues, will he stand with the D’s or the R’s, what [...]
Say Good-bye to Sarah Palin

Last December 1st, I wrote a blog post called “Enough Sarah Palin Already.” I had figured that after a couple of interviews, she would go back to Alaska to decompress, and come back with a barn burner of a speech at CPAC 2009 next month. As for me, I don’t vote in Alaska and never [...]
Maverick Back in the Saddle
Posted: January 8, 2009 by John Brodigan in Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: mccain
John McCain returned to Washington on Tuesday and picked up right where he left off. He told Senate Republicans they need to dial down the illegal immigration rhetoric, held one of those bi-partisan press conferences that everyone loves so much (Claire McCaskill, D-MO, said she was, “…tickled pink to be here on stage with him”), [...]
The Best of the Best of 2008

We had Sarah Palin and Barack Obama. We had John McCain and Joe Biden. There was Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton, Rick Warren and Jeremiah Wright. There were bailouts, bank bailouts, auto bailouts, bloggers who live in their parent’s bailouts and more. There was even a hoax or two. 2008 was a wacky year, and [...]
I Blame McCain
Posted: December 23, 2008 by John Brodigan in Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: bailout, mccain
I get a lot of regurgitation from the nutroots thoughtful dissent questioning how I can be against the $17.4B auto bailout but not against the $700B bank bailout. Why do I hate the middle class? Why do I…place Michael Moore/MSNBC/HuffPo talking point here? Settle down now, Beavis. Why I may not have been blogging two [...]
What if McCain Opposed the Bailout?
Posted: December 15, 2008 by John Brodigan in Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: 2008, bailout, mccain, mitt romney, Rudy Giuliani
One of the lingering questions concerning the 2008 election is what would have happened if John McCain had opposed the bailout. Many of the R’s who voted for it the first time only did so on his lead…what if he lead them the other way? Craig Shirley had an interesting take: Had McCain opposed the [...]

“But before our old soldier fades away, it is worth acknowledging that McCain ran a valiant race against impossible odds. He will be — he should be — remembered as the most worthy presidential nominee ever to be denied the prize.” – Charles Krauthammer Watching John McCain’s concession speech was a sad end to a [...]
