I remember not long ago when Republican U.S. Senator John McCain of Arizona was known as a maverick who was not unwilling to stand up against his party to stand for what he believed was right. I remember John McCain the fighter pilot, war hero, and deal maker, but the days of John McCain the [...]

To follow up on my previous posts and Zach’s recent commentary on DADT here we have McCain questioning Admiral Mullen’s leadership in his nasty sniveling way. He has the gall to say “every great leader I’ve known has asked what are your views on this issue”, yet when the people speak and provide their views he denies the validity of the same. [...] It’s sad to see Sen. John McCain, who once said he wasn’t necessarily opposed to repealing the U.S military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy banning gays from serving openly in our nation’s armed forces, reduced to being the U.S. Senate’s cranky bigot: McCain first led the Republican filibuster against the annual defense authorization bill — [...] Though I’ve been a harsh critic of Arizona Sen. John McCain, I have to give him credit for his heartfelt goodbye to Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold, who was defeated by empty suit Ron Johnson in November’s election. For what it’s worth, Sen. McCain is absolutely right – the United States Senate will be a much [...] Watch as Rachel Maddow highlights Sen. John McCain’s flip-flops on any number of issues during his time in public service, flip-flops that have often left McCain at odds with himself: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the [...] They’re for it… they’re against it…. the flip floppery of the McCain duo is beyond the pale. We have Senator John McCain who seems to have selective amnesia and/or early senility impacting his staying true to his prior statements and beliefs on the elimination of DADT. Not long ago he said once the military leadership said DADT should go, he would support doing so. Today he denies his own prior statements. Meanwhile his wife courageously starred in an anti-hate video denouncing the government’s treatment of GLBT people as second class systems, only to denounce her own statements by the end of the week, presumably after prodding and threats from her doddering old husband. [...] While the first item on the state republican agenda is to limit access to the polls for Wisconsinites, the national republicans do not have it so easy. the “tea party” crowd has let it be known they want a ban on all earmarks. The republicans have long talked of an earmark ban, it was even [...] John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Jeff Sessions, Mitch McConnell and all the other lying sack of poop, and unpleasant homophobic geezer Senators in the U.S. Senate should be shamed for their dishonor of the thousands of gay and lesbian soldiers who have served honorably in the U.S. Military and ~14,000 who have been discharged after costly witch hunts. These men don’t understand the term “quote” honor and clearly don’t understand the reality of how this policy is being carried out today. [...] Here’s a link to the Hill’s 50 Wealthiest Legislators in Washington! Somebody there missed Herb Kohl…since the 50th person is at $5.1 million, Senator Kohl should certainly have been on this list. The Milwaukee Bucks alone should put him near the top. Wisconsin didn’t do too badly: #26 Representative Jim Sensenbrenner is the Wisconsin delegation [...] Just for a moment let’s go back in history – back to the 2008 presidential campaign. Do you remember the moment during that campaign, when at a John McCain town hall meeting one woman said she couldn’t trust Obama because “he’s an Arab?” Do you remember McCain’s response? I do, and McCain responded [...] |
