McCain Proves Yet Again Why He Lost in 2008
Failed presidential nominee, John McCain, decided now was the time to put on boxing gloves and take on a member of his own party, Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA).
“As the senator may know, I came to the floor a couple of days ago and made that comment, and the senator from illinois and I are in agreement, point number one. you can prioritize — I think the senator and every economist I know literally would agree. You can prioritize for awhile where you want what remaining money is left, but the message you send to the world, not just our markets but to the world, that the United States of America is going to default on its debts is a totally unacceptable scenario and beneath a great nation. We are in agreement. Number one: passage through the United States Senate of a balanced budget amendment to the constitution of the United States, as i said before, is not fair to the American people because, because the terrible obstructionists on this side of the aisle, the terrible people, their flawed philosophical views about the future of america is not going to allow to us get 20 additional votes from your side, assuming that you get all 47 since it requires 67 votes to pass a balanced budget amendment to the constitution. so i think it was not only wrong assessment … I think it’s not fair to the american people to say we can pass a balanced budget amendment to the constitution through the Senate at this time.”
Like many others, I did not vote for John McCain in 2008 and hope his words will convince the GOP to nix his nomination for the bicameral joint budget committee. Do we really need a boxer or politician on our side who roots for the competition to win? I nominate Senator Pat Toomey to take his place.

Juan McAmnesty was rammed down our throats by the Republican Establishment. According to Sean Hannity, his first choice for a running mate was Joe Lieberman. He only chose Sarah Palin to try to get the Conservative base to support him. Then, as we all saw, he fought her more than he fought Obummer.
McCain, it’s long past time for you to retire.
Yeah, those markets have really been reassured by the moderate fiscal path in the debt deal. Near record plunge in the last week.
