| Oh damn, did I say that out loud? |
"I promise you that we will be united against any Supreme Court nominee that Hillary Clinton, if she were president, would put up," McCain said. "I promise you. This is where we need the majority."
This was said during an interview on 1210 WPHT Philadelphia radio, and later the Senator's office tried to walk the statement back:
"Senator McCain believes you can only judge people by their record and Hillary Clinton has a clear record of supporting liberal judicial nominees," communications director Rachael Dean told TPM in a statement. "That being said, Senator McCain will, of course, thoroughly examine the record of any Supreme Court nominee put before the Senate and vote for or against that individual based on their qualifications as he has done throughout his career."
Yeah you know I tend to think that what McCain said in this unguarded moment is probably a lot closer to the truth then that prepared statement issued by his office to save his ass.
Remember the Republicans have been blocking the confirmation of Merrick Garland since way back in February, and clearly have no intention of EVER letting a Democrat choose another Supreme Court justice.
In other words they have no intention of DOING THEIR DAMN JOBS. Not now and not once Hillary becomes out next President.
Just another reminder of why it is so very important for the Democrats to regain control of the Senate.
Oh, and Fuck John McCain!
And the Republicans, who have steadfastly refused to cooperate with the Democrats, have now reaped what they have sown. So much for their "strategy" after losing the last 2 presidential elections. They are the party of Obstruction and have been reduced to having a "base" that is so base that it supports a total asshat like Donald Trump for the party's presidential nominee. Lots of luck gang of old white men. Let's just hope that in addition to the presidency that you lose the Senate and maybe the House if we get lucky because that's the only damned way that the country can move forward. Maybe now the Republican Party (the party of Lincoln LOL) will learn their lesson. Or else you can all just join the yahoos watching Trump TV.
ReplyDeleteMcCain is having a very hard Senate run he will whistle dixie to get votes, but, that doesn't excuse him. Hillary Clinton has DEFENDED him against Trump, HE is he ASSHOLE who BROUGHT up the crime family Palin which in turn is ALT RIGHT=Trump, Beerfart and the rest of the scum! How dare he! And AZ central has endorsed Hillary but also him. I do hope he loses his Senate and becomes a nobody! Fuck You McCain
DeleteThere are Republicans that are also tired of these asshats taking their paychecks and not doing their jobs. They are also tired of the obstruction and want Merrick Garland either confirmed or denied but at least getting a hearing.
DeleteThey aren't going to vote for Trump in the hope the obstructionism will stop.
Instead, they will vote out their congresspeople who aren't doing their jobs despite a yearly salary most of these people will never hope to see.
I hope this little soundbite is McCain's downfall. Go ahead and try to walk it back. You're done, old man, and Arizona is going to vote BLUE.
John McCain did you thoroughly vet that retard Sarah Palin? Go ahead and admit you didn't. We already know.
ReplyDeleteMcCain vetted Trey Gowdy.
DeleteOriginal "woody" Bill Kristol that pushed her, and now can't stand her. I saw right through her RNC introduction, and how I found Gryph!

ReplyDeleteKeith Olbermann: ‘Dracula’-like Kellyanne Conway would rather destroy Clinton than elect Trump
ReplyDeleteSome of Donald Trump’s chief advisors appear to be more interested in damaging their longtime nemesis, Hillary Clinton, than getting the Republican presidential nominee elected.
In his latest video posted on GQ, Keith Olbermann demonstrated the links between Trump’s presidential campaign and the so-called right-wing conspiracy that tried — and failed — to bring down Bill and Hillary Clinton in the 1990s.
“While certainly they want to defeat Hillary, relitigating the Bill Clinton legacy for the 4,000th time and beating her up and beating him up is almost as satisfying,” Olbermann said.
Olbermann recalled conservative commentator Laura Ingraham, who he was dating at the time, explaining what he needed to know in 1998 about the “vast right-wing conspiracy” working to bring down President Bill Clinton.
Ingraham showed him a fax machine, where rumors and allegations were disseminated and then injected into the media conversation by Matt Drudge.
She explained there were only about a dozen conspirators involved, including pollster and opposition researcher Kellyanne Fitzpatrick and disgraced political investigator David Bossie.
Fitzpatrick went on to marry attorney George Conway, who had represented Paula Jones in her lawsuit against Bill Clinton, and Bossie became the director of the conservative Citizens United activist group.
They now serve as Trump’s campaign manager and deputy campaign manager — and Olbermann suspects the real estate developer and former reality TV star might be something of a victim in their ongoing efforts to destroy the Clintons.

Yep, there were a handful of bleached blond GOP women all obsessed with the Clintons, and their spewing was constant. Coulter, of course, was one, as was the now-deceased (9/11) Barbara Olson.
DeleteTerra Jole on DWTS reminds me of Trig Palin.
ReplyDeleteThey want to control the Supreme Court so they can control a woman's right to choose to use birth control, have a baby even if it would kill her to do it. What next, womens right to vote. Evil old man!
ReplyDeleteWell, if you've been listening to Trump and his supporters, they wouldn't mind rescinding the 1st amendment and muzzling/controlling the media and rescinding the 19th amendment because they don't want to risk another woman possibly winning the Oval Office because women have the right to vote. I'm sure repealing the 13th amendment will following quickly behind. After all, those minorities might vote for a Democrat and we can't gerrymander, suppress voter registration, and intimidate voters on election day forever.
DeleteYep, you heard him. Trump is looking to make the U.S. into Germany in the 30s. Camps for Muslims, rounded up humanely of course. A big honkin' wall. Gold plated even. Maybe even "Trump Youth" mandatory after school clubs to make sure our children are indoctrinated properly so they vote correctly.
John McCain, is that the stupid S.O.B. that Donald Trump said wasn't a hero because he was caught and John McCain still endorsed Trump? That John McCain?
ReplyDeleteThat's the one.
DeleteThe one Trump wouldn't endorse for the longest time.
The one that said publicly that he’ll back the nominee. In a private recording obtained by Politico, however, he frets that Trump endangers his reelection effort, while his former top aide Mark Salter is backing Clinton. (May 5, 2016)
The one that released a scorching statement criticizing Trump for his comments about Gold Star parents Khizr and Ghazala Khan, but he did not revoke his support. (August 1, 2016) (And still he wouldn't unendorse him.)
No, it took Trump's potty mouth for McCain to finally grow a backbone. Although it's probably the fact that Trump's statements were damaging to McCain's re-election bid that really convinced him to withdraw his endorsement. (October 8, 2016)
The one that opened the door to a Trump run by bringing Sarah Palin to national attention because he was too lazy to vet properly or just jerked off when he saw her picture.
He's another ME FIRST, then the party, then the country fucking Republican.
I so hope Trump destroys McCain's type of the Republican Party. Let them go off with their Teabagger bastards. This will either purify the party or destroy it. Either way the Democrats are going to be in the oval office for a while.
Little lumpy Johnny is the one who called his wife "cu*t" on the bus full of reporters. Everyone was shocked. Very telling moment. He is a time bomb waiting to go off. Watch his video of the hearings on PO's where he calls the sister of a missing pilot "bitch" and "F this and that" Shocked everyone into silence as he stormed out. Amazing he has not had a heart attack long ago. Vile, creepy, racist, jealous, entitled LITTLE fraud.

DeleteHave you no self respect left Mr John McCain/Palin? What supreme court justices Sarah suggests do you support? (obviously a hypothetical question since she sank your battleship and burned any chance in politics for herself). Ask the smart one if you're stuck ( Dirty Sexy Politics) Megan McCain/Palin.
ReplyDeleteTell us something that we don't already know, Johnnie Boy, you've never been about the people you were sworn to serve, only your personal ambition. I will NEVER forgive you for infesting Palin on this country. EVER.
ReplyDeletelol She doesn't even affect anything. Things would be a whole lot worse. At least shes inspired lots of GOOD youth to get involved and not be sheep to stupid people in DC.
Delete5:49 PM: "Inspiring GOOD youth to get involved"? what "youth" are we talking about exactly? Her own? To quote the infestation herself "In what way, Charlie?" LOL.

ReplyDelete"Senator McCain will, of course, thoroughly examine the record of any Supreme Court nominee put before the Senate and vote for or against that individual based on their qualifications as he has done throughout his career."
ReplyDeleteStill waiting on Merrick Garland.
I still think as soon as Hillary is elected they are going to move fast to approve of Merrick Garland because they'll believe he is more moderate and acceptable than anyone they think Hillary will appoint. Plus they will want to fill that seat so she won't get a chance.
Anyone know why Ed Shultz left msnbc? And now on RT, Russian tv?
ReplyDeleteI would love nothing better than a belated birthday present of both John McCain and Darrell Issa DEFEATED in their bids for re-election. That would be marvelous.

DeleteThere are two people with the same name on here. Both use the name Sharon. My comment was the referencing the pasty old white guys holdin the power. Just an FYI
DeleteMcCain's like, "Hey, wanna smell my finger?"
ReplyDeleteFucking 'Party First' asshole.
ReplyDeleteThroughout his life, always. Flying air combat missions, despite him being a high value prisoner due to his dad, while admirable, was idiotic and arrogant, potentially endangering fellow sailors and aviators and fellow POWs. Specifically disregarding mission plans that were in place for all so as to mitigate the inherent dangers of his and other's duties.
Won't even bother going into the whole Keating 5 scandal as it is only his penultimate fuckup - the wailing Wendigo of Wasilla.
His judgement is shit, he is an arrogant asshole who never learned a goddamned thing. I wish him a retirement as soon as possible.
If not for his father and grandfather being high ranking naval officers, this little creep would not be where he is today. He was 895th out of a class of 899 at the naval academy. Still, because of his relatives, he was allowed to fly. Destroyed a few multi million $$$ planes, and was never disciplined for that. Was named "Songbird" in captivity, because he gave up secrets. Vile, entitled shell of a "man". He would have lost the election even without PayMe. Anyone with a brain sees him for what he is (just like tRump)
DeleteNo reason for me to ever allow for a smidgen of respect when it comes to McCain. I can now call him, simply, a pig. I cannot allow his time as a POW to be a reason not to call him out for his lack of more intelligence and inability to be more articulate after so many years in the Senate, and for not being able to admit a mistake (no matter what, he has to hold onto a silly notion of what being true to his party entails, like not admitting that Palin was a bomb), and for being a flip flopper who flips and flops however he needs to in order to hold onto a senate seat because he never was fit and able for any other kind of job. As Trump would say, he's a loser.
ReplyDeleteRepublicans: the party of not doing nothing.
ReplyDeleteIt's just so inspirational.
McCain just might not be around to even vote for a supreme court justice when Hillary takes over. From what I see, the Republican Party is imploding. They have no one to blame but themselves. They have done nothing but block Obama for 7 years; and they did very little the 8 years before. There should be term limits. Why should we have to keep these ya-hoos until they die or too senile to even know what is going on.
ReplyDeleteTrump is not going away on November 9 - he will just be starting to spew his hatred on the Republican Party and Hillary and do everything to bring them down and screw them over. After all, that seems to be the "Trump way of doing business."
Trumps people are so angry they say they are not going to vote for any of the Republicans that aren't endorsing Trump. Today a bunch of Trump people in Paul Ryan's own home town were chanting "Paul Ryan Sucks!"
http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-paul-ryan-sucks-rally-2016-10
Got to agree with the "Paul Ryan Sucks" group. They do not get many things correct, but this one time they did. The media will STILL give the big orange yam plenty of TV time, to help their ratings. Despicable as the rotten repubs. Hillary has the "democratic" failing - TOO INTELLIGENT. The gop hates smart people, look at all 16 of the candidates THEY thought should be fit for the presidency!!
DeleteTime to start a petition against those fuckers -McCain, McConnell and the rest of those pompous pigs who've lived in luxury off our taxes. Time to send them packing. We need to demand a Supreme Court justice be appointed with or without those losers - this is OUR country - OUR govt - OUR voices.
