McCain vs. the Tea Party
...Mr. McCain accused conservatives of abandoning reason by opposing the House Republican leader’s plan to resolve the debt crisis.

Mr. McCain mocked Tea Party-allied Republicans in the House for believing — wrongly, he said — that President Obama and Democrats will get the blame for a default if Republicans refuse to increase the nation’s debt ceiling.

By that flawed logic, “Democrats would have no choice but to pass a balanced budget amendment and reform entitlements and the Tea Party Hobbits could return to Middle Earth,” he said, quoting a Wall Street Journal editorial.

“This is the kind of crack political thinking that turned Sharron Angle and Christine O’Donnell into G.O.P. nominees,” he jeered, referring to two losing Tea Party candidates for the Senate in 2010.

4. I don't think he cares, he is getting old and probably will not
run again. He still has about 5 years left

3. "...Tea Party Hobbits could return to Middle Earth..."
BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I'm givin' the old guy some credit for this. The teapers damn near destroyed his reelection chances. He hates them and that is friggin' awesome.

And, this:

“This is the kind of crack political thinking that turned Sharron Angle and Christine O’Donnell into G.O.P. nominees,”

7. Yeah, there was that.
He's matured in his old age. Either that or Cindy and Meaghan refuse to feed him if he acts like an asshole.
