Is John McCain Freaking Kidding Me?

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 back to Washington DC to get in the mix. This is where TARP (aka the ban bailout came to play), something that most of us thought was a bad idea and wanted Congress to slow down and do it right.

McCain could have opposed the plan which would have been what Sen. McCain would have done, not to mention give the Republican Party a chance to break from George Bush. He could have taken to the floor of the Senate and made famous the cats who were porking it up, as he had been saying he was going to do. Instead, he did nothing, said nothing, and snuck out of town.

So when I read this

McCain to GOP: You FAIL!

“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 that her old man was running for President, and focused mainly on the behind the scenes of a Presidential campaign. It was different, and I had originally thought that if the McCain Campaign was going to follow suit (albeit more politically), we might have a shot.

Of course we know how that ended, which was the colossal FAIL that was the seventy or so paid Obama staffers working on the web as opposed to the FOUR working on the McCain campaign. Apparently this frustrated the future ex-Mrs. Brodigan.com as well, and she took to the cyber-pages of The Daily Beast to vent…

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 to publicly express that he disagreed with that piece of legislation.

Apparently it’s too much for some to handle. So sayeth Sam Stein

Democrats are growing increasingly frustrated with the brash political attacks Sen. John McCain has launched against Barack Obama in the weeks since the new president took office. No one expected the Arizona Republican to be a legislative ally for this administration. But it was widely assumed that Obama’s overtures to McCain in the weeks after the election would dull some of the hard feelings between the two. Now, they are realizing, it has not.

Are you people fucking kidding me? Continue reading

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 to be stepping up as one of the lead opponents of the bill. J-Mac was the first to speak out against it on the Sunday morning show, his PAC has launched a petition opposing the current bill, and today he took to the floor of the Senate to say how the bill stinks on ice.

So sayeth Sarah Palin’s former running mate…

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 he will fight for, etc. Essentially, what Maverick will we get?

According to the man on “Fox News Sunday,” he’s at least standing with us against the 2009 Fiscal Suicide Act. So sayeth Gov. Palin’s former running mate…

“There should be an end point to all of this spending.say two years…The plan was written by the Democratic majority in the House primarily. So yeah, I think there has to be major rewrites, if we want to stimulate the economy,” McCain said. “I am opposed to most of provisions in the bill. As it stands now. I would not support it.”

“We need serious negotiations. We’re losing sight of what the stimulus is all about and that is job creation.”

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 thought she’d be running in 2012 (nor do I think Bobby Jindal will either), so I was ready for everyone to move on.

Instead, there have been interviews in magazines, TV interviews, interviews for a documentary, more infighting between the McCain and Palin camps, the media making a big deal out of nothing, Meghan McCain saying Sarah Palin is the only thing she won’t talk aboot, and so on.

As a matter of fact, had it not been for the Inauguration, I’m sure there would be a big to do over John McCain’s most recent less than ringing endorsement
