“Senator John McCain unilaterally negotiated with the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to secure Republican votes necessary to pass a number of controversial Presidential nominees,” the resolution, which passed the official GOP body in the state by a 24-13 vote with four abstentions on Tuesday evening, reads.

The resolution notes that President Obama nominated “Gina McCarthy for head of the Environmental Protection Agency, an environmental bureaucrat who supports anti-job/consumer policies,” “Richard Corday to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFRB), an unaccountable, unconstitutional agency created by the Dodd-Frank legislation,” and “Thomas Perez as Labor Secretary who has a known record for abusing power as Maryland’s Labor Secretary, handing political appointments to Big-Labor bedfellows.”

It argues that McCain “provided the votes necessary for the confirmation of the above nominees,” and his “’deal’ was nothing more than capitulation to the Senate Majority Leader, giving him everything he asked for.”

McCain is a political insurgent working on behalf of the democratic party, and he always has been...

So in hindsight would it have made much of a difference who won in 2008?

Seems McCain isn't much different.

When are people going to realize that we have a one party system.

And the color is green.

Yes. The Affordable Health Care Act would not have been passed under a McCain administration. People may not realize it yet, but this was a landmark piece of legislation with ramifications at least as great as the Social Security Act of 1935.

In terms of foreign policy, McCain would have been more deliberate, but with similar and equally disastrous results.

Illegal immigration would be one big, disappointing ditto.

SCOTUS is the one place where conservatives might have made some real gains under McCain with a right leaning Court for decades. One thing is for sure, he could not have done worse than Kagan or Sotomayor.

So when can we expect AZ to vote that fossilized RINO out of office.

Is it wrong to just be digging in and waiting on bankruptcy and the following austerity?

AHCA was bad. I'm not convinced that we wouldn't have gotten something very similar considering the congress that we had...and McCain is very much a symbolic no vote kind of guy as opposed to a fight it tooth and nail type. At least he voted against the MMA.

I firmly believe that on the vast majority of issues, the past five Republicans to receive the nomination are simply Democrat light. They don't actually differ on policy, rather they differ in the implementation of said policy or the degree to which we should pursue it.

His is in for another 3 years on this term, and my guess is that he will retire instead of running for re-election since he is already 77 years old.

They'll never do it, he's 77 with several years left on his latest term, likely he'll retire at the end of the term, however it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he chose to run for re-election yet again.

I entertain no doubts, he would easily get himself re-elected if he chooses to run again...The man is an obscenity, a genuine reprobate...

Career politicians usually stay in as long as they can, Chappaquiddick Ted comes to mind as does gun grabbing Fienswine.
