John McCain can kiss my ass.

So John McCain blows up at the tea baggers today and the MSM and some of the DC Democratic establishments thinks we need to stand and applaud? Pardon my working-class French, but that jackass helped unleash them on the country by nominating the grifter from the meth capitol of Alaska. And by doing so, he send the signal loud and clear that Republicans should promote the nutcases who want to demolish the country as we know it and replace with something out of their understanding of the Bible or some crappy textbook they read at home or their private religious schools.

Keep your mouth shut, McCain. You did this to us.

1. Agreed. He helped create the monster, now he wants to do damage control. -nt

[Major Hogwash]

4. McCain is like Dr Frankenstein and now he has lost control of his monster

Because his monster is more popular that he is!!

And that is a very scary idea!

2. indeed -- cheap theatrics can't undo the damage done

3. you can't blame it all on McCain, and his speaking out can only help to do the right thing

far more than if he would just shut up.

5. I got no use for the man.

6. He helped open Pandora's lockbox, and was surprised by what he saw inside.

It was even further to the right than he ever imagined. The horror.

I saw it as an indicator. The schism in this country is not as far right as it appears.

7. I think it's great he's gettin snippity with them.

It doesn't mean jack shit in the grand scheme of things, but I'm happier when he's fighting them than when he's joining them.

:shrug:

Again, I can't imagine anyone thinks all of a sudden people are going to like McCain. It's just nice to see him realizing just how crazy the teabaggers are. That's a lesson I want every Repuke to learn and learn well. I think there's an element of political expediency in it as well. Distancing himself from the teabaggery should he wind up in the Presidential race in 2012.

9. McCain led the way by unleashing Palin. You betcha, John!

Glad McCain is speaking out, but he should accept some responsibility for what is happening.
