McCain Adds Another Dubious Honor To His RINO Trophy Case
UPI

Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) picked up the most illustrious of the many trophies he’s been collecting for his RINO mantle over the weekend, receiving a formal censure by the Arizona Republican Party for a voting record that betrays conservative values.

The official condemnation represents the latest in a series of scoldings the Senator has received from Republicans in Arizona. Republicans in his home county of Maricopa formally censured McCain on for similar reasons earlier this month on an overwhelmingly lopsided vote. But Saturdays’ censure vote, coming via the State Republican Party, marks the broadest reprimand McCain has yet received.

The resolution describes McCain’s voting record as “disastrous and harmful” and castigates the Senator for his recent positions on immigration reform, the funding of Obamacare and 2nd Amendment issues, among other offenses. The resolution concludes that McCain’s brand of “conservatism” has forced the Arizona Republican Party to “no longer support, campaign for or endorse John McCain as our U.S. Senator.”

The censure, which passed on a voice vote, carries no repercussions other than to draw a public line between party conservatives and McCain. But that sort of bad publicity can become its own quite tangible form of punishment.

Establishment GOP lawmakers quickly closed ranks to protect McCain following the vote. Former Arizona Republican Senator John Kyl evoked McCain’s own Tea Party-bashing language by telling The Arizona Republic the censure was “wacky.”

“To say that John McCain doesn’t work with Republicans, doesn’t have a conservative voting record — that’s just baloney,” said Kyl. “I served with him in the Senate for 18 years, 26 years all together, and we didn’t always vote alike, but his record is very conservative. It’s just wacky to say otherwise.”

And lets not forget that the establishment republicans chose this RINO to run for president. It was John McCain who first gave us Obama. Lindsey Graham is second in line for the honor.

I cannot stand Juan McCain. I had such a hard time actually checking his name on the ballot, but of course BHO was the other choice, so I was finally able to do it.

I refuse to ever check the box when he is running any other time. I just leave it blank, and no one ever seems to run against his lame ass.

Two words, TERM LIMITS

Two words, TERM LIMITS

We have term limits. It's called the ballot box. I think that every job should have term limits. Regardless of how well you are doing in your job, I think that your employer should be required to replace you every four years. In that way someone will have to learn how to do the job that you are already good at, no matter how long it takes them to learn. Then, in four years that guy can be replaced by the next idiot that comes through the door and the company can start training him. Now does that sounds like a real plan? Why don't we just vote out the bad politicians and keep the ones who are doing us some good. Of course that would require that we take an interest in politics and get off of our dead asses and vote. I guess that would be asking too, much.

I dont have much interest but I pay attention to politics and I've voted in every election that I was eligible to vote in. Look where it's gotten me.

By next election the 47% will be the 68 % and will continue to get worse.

Forgive thee if I come across and downtrodden.

John McCain will always be a war hero IMO. But that doesn't mean you have to like his politics. Maybe he should've quit while he was ahead.

To me the biggest difference between MCain and Ovomit, Pelosi and Reid is that the latter don't pretend to be what they are not. I'm a Vietnam vet. His is no hero to me.

I'm sorry the government put you through that for their own warped agenda. I agree the worst person is the one that claims to be on your side, but is in fact the enemy.

That is Juan McCain. I'd spit in his face given the chance.

Don't worry Bawanna, pretty soon the government is going to run you out of money and then they'll really be screwed. (I always try to look at the bright side.)

Me too neither, Deadeye.
