I was just reading the lineup of the Sunday shows, and while our (WI) Senator Dumbass was on one program, none of them had John McCain on it!

Conservatives Are Now Flipping Out At John McCain And Lindsay Graham
QUOTE:
Just hours after Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) slammed Sen. Rand Paul on the Senate floor, conservatives are turning on the Republican Party's "old bulls."
In a floor speech this morning, McCain accused Paul of using the filibuster to "fire up impressionable libertarian kids." Graham claimed Paul was ignoring national security threats, using a ludicrous chart to illustrate his point,
"It was embarrassing," a senior Republican Senate aide told Business Insider. "It definitely looked like two guys whose time has passed. They are behind history, and they are the only people in the room who don't know it yet."
By Thursday afternoon, conservative grassroots group FreedomWorks was already asking supporters to sign a petition demanding McCain apologize to Paul.

Watching him on This Week is painful. Others around the table are coming right out and saying his 'facts are wrong.' I honestly had no idea he was that bad.
