He's still p*ssed. He fell for the fiery FOX rhetoric that said Romney would win by a landslide this country has never seen before. McCain doesn't like Romney, but what has his wrinkled old butt in a sling is that Republicans did not take the Senate like FOX and Karl Rove and Dick Morris promised. Quite the opposite, Dems picked up seats. They only have the House through gerrymandering.
So it doesn't matter what he thinks or who he does not approve. He is one example of why Republicans lose and will continue to lose... voters get tired of the nonstop whining and redundant beetching.

the partry more problems than they solve. McCain is one of them, appearing on Faux network every week or two to be "against" something or "opposed to" some other thing, making himself part of the problems and not much of any solutions.
A lie is when someone says a country has atomic bombs when it doesn't. A lie is when they say a country could launch chemical weapons at a moments notice. Now these are lies.
And how do you know that video didn't play at least some role in it? Sounds to me it could have been a motivating factor. But you know what? Who cares. It pisses me off however that republicans may be trying to out another CIA operative. I mean what is with these commies? Whose side are they on?
Poor Mitt was smack down during the debate. Accept it.
I don't agree with a lot of what Obama does including continuing the wars. But it is silly to say that the president is week on terrorism. Just tell that to GW's buddy Bin. Oh that is right. He is dead and fish food. Tell that to all the other terrorists that have been eliminated. Obama unfortunately has killed too many people.
Clinton got impeached because the republicans were on a witch hunt. No values, just a determination to get Clinton on anything. What jokes the republicans are. I think you might be on your way out as it appears you are not willing to get with the program. Shame you dumped your past leaders like Eisenhower and even Nixon. At one time republicans used to respect their past leaders. Now they are just called RINOs. Pathetic, really pathetic.
Clinton was impeached for lying under oath and obstructing justice. There's an excellent behind-the-scenes book called "Catching Our Flag" that reveals what actually happened throughout that ordeal. Clinton signed a deal at the end of his term, admitting what he had done. He was barred from ever practicing law in front of the Supreme Court, and had his law licenses revoked. Doesn't sound like a simple "witch hunt" to me.
Richard Nixon was an extraordinarily intelligent man, but he was always fearful of being taken down by enemies, and that is why I think he helped cover-up Watergate. He eventually took the fall, because everything got out of hand and the party was under pressure to throw him overboard. My point was that he could have saved himself the trouble by just being honest about what happened and the whole thing would have been over within weeks. But he was afraid that news of lowly GOP operatives breaking into Watergate would hurt his re-election campaign (which is interesting, because he was way ahead of his challenger George McGovern, and went on to win in a massive landslide carrying 49 states).

Similarly, Clinton covered up his affair for political purposes by lying under oath in a separate inquiry about sexual harassment, and otherwise trying to cover his tracks. Remember, the woman he was having the affair with basically worked for him. That affects the office of the president. But what was worse was the lying and dodging. He brought it on himself. What is pathetic is the people who make excuses for him and blame Republicans. Do you know who appointed the special prosecutor? Janet Reno, Clinton's Attorney General.
Clinton was impeached because the republicans were nothing but hypocrites. They tried anything to get Bill Clinton and had to settle on Monica because nothing else worked out. Pretty pathetic when the speaker of the house was doing the same thing. Love your hypocrisy.
I agree with you to a large extent on Nixon. He was very paranoid and he was intelligent. Shame today's republican party wouldn't allow him into the party. lol
Fact is the republicans by making Clinton an issue got smashed in the end as his approval ratings soared. Clinton remains the best conservative president we have had in decades. He did what republicans only promised. He balanced the federal budget. Why can't republicans balance anything. First principle of being a conservative.
The difference between Newt's indiscretions and Clinton's was that Newt never lied under oath about it in a sexual harassment case. For a lawyer, that was a pretty dumb thing to do. Clinton thought he could get away with that, and then he tried to cover his tracks. That's obstruction of justice. At the end of his term, he signed an agreement admitting what he'd done, so he wouldn't have to deal with anymore legal inquiries. Newt has tried to amend his ways in his personal life, and even converted to Catholicism. In the end Clinton's legacy did take a hit in one major way: Al Gore lost the presiden...

Newt has tried to amend his ways in his personal life, and even converted to Catholicism. In the end Clinton's legacy did take a hit in one major way: Al Gore lost the presidency in the electoral college. He should have been way ahead considering how popular Clinton was. But Gore distanced himself somewhat from Clinton because he knew the impeachment hurt the administration. So, while Clinton had a high job approval (a result of a good economy), the voters didn't like the dishonesty.
Clinton balanced the budget with the Republicans, including Newt Gingrich. He worked with them to make it happen. Obama doesn't really want to work with the Republicans. He wants to try to embarrass them politically to get what he wants. But this tactic tends not to work in a practical sense. If a deal doesn't happen it will be his fault, and will cripple his 2nd term. And the proof is that this happened before, as described in Bob Woodward's book, The Price of Politics.
Clinton balanced the budget with little republican help. If republicans played any meaningful role, the budget would have stayed balanced after Clinton left. As everyone knows it didn't thanks to the voodoo practiced by republicans.
Republicans are just jokes today as they have no core values except big intrusive government.
You also forget that the person he negotiated with on those budgets was Newt Gingrich, who left the Congress in 1999. He could not have passed the budgets without Republicans, who had control of the House. At least I give Bill Clinton credit for working with the Republicans. You won't even give them credit for working with Clinton. That's how divided we are as a nation. Too many people are unwilling to give credit where it's due.
Clinton was impeached for one reason and that was because he was a democrat. If he was a republican, no way would he have been impeached. Republicans were pissed off that they got their butts kicked. Sexual relations obviously meant sexual intercourse so he didn't lie. Now he wasn't fully truthful and that is why he was debarred.
Yes newtie negotiated but only after Clinton kicked his butt over the closure of the government. More things change the more they stagy the same. We may be going through the same thing as it appears the republicans have not learned anything.
But I can see them doing this as if the democrats are allowed to do what they want, the economy would soon be booming and no one would vote republican.
Alas, an elder curmudgeon
Screw him. We will replace him in 2014 with a Democrat here in AZ anyway.
Arizona has gone PURPLE!! Folks. People like McCain need to wake up to that fact and smell the roses. Bigotry, racism and prejudice just don't cut it any more from the party of the "angry old white men"
