Amid a speech on Washington’s self-inflicted debt crisis, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said Wednesday that the tea party’s political strategy is essentially bogus and plays into Democrats’ hands, and urged tea party Republicans to support House Speaker John Boehner’s plan to extend the debt limit for another nine months. Describing the tea party’s strategy to force a rewrite of the Constitution by triggering a default, he concluded that their thinking was along the lines of something from “Lord of the Rings.” “And the tea party hobbits could return to Middle Earth having defeated Mordor,” he said. “This is the kind of crack political thinking that turned Sharon Angle and Christine O’Donnell into GOP Senate nominees. The reality is, the debt limit will be raised one way or another.” This video is from C-SPAN 2, broadcast Wednesday, July 27, 2011, as snipped by Mediaite.

To: FrankR McCain never misses an opportunity to side with the enemy. Obama is the single best President I have ever seen in my lifetime, says McCain. Of course, he would say the same thing if Kermit the Frog or Rosie O’Donnell was President. The man is a pathological butt licker to whomever is in power. (sometimes I wonder if he even knows what he is saying....or, even where or who he is, for that matter. The man needs retirement. 10 posted on Thursday, July 28, 2011 07:07:22 by 240B (he is doing everything he said he wouldn't and not doing what he said he would) To: kittymyrib McCain is clearly senile ~ and under the Svengali like control of his chubby daughter. 12 posted on Thursday, July 28, 2011 07:10:20 by muawiyah To: Nachum McCain is an idiot! Republicans to blame? Tea party to blame? Give me a break! We’ve been warning the big spenders that a day of reckoning will come. We warned them against big spending. We warned them against stealing from our grandchildren. When Obama came into office the US had at least four trillion dollars in borrowing power. He burned through it like there was no tomorrow. Now it’s gone and he wants to burn more? And what do we have to show for it? Nothing! The day of reckoning has arrived. To hell with Obama! To hell with McCain! Time to put Obama in receivership, though a straitjacket would be preferable. The man is a certified lunatic and McCain is no better. From this point forward the Republican House should make Obama come hat in hand for every damn dollar he wants to spend! No blank checks! The House should tightly control the spending, period! Obama has proven he can’t be trusted with a credit card. 21 posted on Thursday, July 28, 2011 07:42:20 by Jim Robinson (Rebellion is brewing!! Impeach the corrupt Marxist bastard!!)
We laugh at you. You have a party/movement filled with traitors. I guess that means the party and ideology in question is not viable or much liked or workable or no one would betray it......

Do you ever respond with anything even remotely resembling interesting?
. I guess that it's OK to be a "fantasy racist"? I guess that these "fantasy racists" forget the in Tolkien's morality tale, it was a HOBBIT who SAVED the entire middle Earth? So what person who supports SAVING CONSTITUTIONAL AMERICA would be offended at being called a HOBBIT? I'm SURE that the tea partee movement would WELCOME ALL AMERICAN HOBBITS, just as it welcomes ALL AMERICANS NOW who love and support traditional CONSTITUTIONAL government, and individual LIBERTY. So ... This attempt to slur and insult the tea partee just shows how vile and STOOPID the enemies of AMERICA and AMERICANS really are. So ........ FUCK you libTURD FILTH. I'm PROUD to be a "HOBBIT"! And you filth had better understand one thing, we HOBBITS are on a quest for CONSTITUTIONAL government and we will NOT fail. "The GIANT awakes!" FTW!
