THE APPEASEMENT OF AND BACKSTABBING BY JOHN MCCAIN……..

KGS

This man is a gross embarrassment, and truth be told, the Republican party is full of such-like examples. This goes to further underline the premise of Mark R.Levin’s book, The Liberty Amendments, that the power hub in Washington needs to be circumvented with the states re-exerting their sovereignty and rights and call for a state convention (read = meeting) and amend the constitution.
Doing away with the 17 amendment, which would place the senate back into the hands of state legislatures, to be appointed, to represent their interests at the national level, is in my opinion, one of the greatest steps mentioned in his book. Obamacare would never have been passed, as well as a host of other socialist legislation if senators were duty bound to fulfill the will of their state legislatures.

John McCain Appeases

Daren Jonescu
After twenty-four hours of Ted Cruz acting like a man — a man who sees his country on the brink of expiring — the Democrats have pulled the Senate floor out from under him. And as has become the custom, they have been aided in their bullying by Senator John McCain.


As Charles Schumer was about to scold Cruz for “trampling on the rights of his colleagues,” he interrupted himself to yield the floor to McCain. For a moment, there was confusion over whether the time yielded would be his own or the Republicans’, but the Democrat leadership quickly jumped in to express its pleasure at allowing McCain to speak under any conditions. That is, they knew he was going to do some of their dirty work for them, thus lending credibility to their authoritarianism. And so he did.
McCain began his doddering diatribe by informing Cruz that “elections have consequences,” that in democracies the majority rules, and that a “sizable majority” elected and re-elected Barack Obama, suggesting that Cruz’ efforts displayed a lack of respect for the will of the victorious majority. Of course, this bizarre logic ignored the fact that Cruz also won a majority of votes in his own Senate election, and that the majority who voted for him probably elected him to be something more than a rubber stamp for Democrat policy. McCain seems to have revealed useful information about his own lack of backbone in the Senate, however; apparently he believes it is the role of the minority to express official distaste for the majority’s plans, and then vigorously support those plans anyway. After all, failing to do so would be disrespectful of those who voted for the majority party.
McCain then moved on to address a particular point made by Cruz during his overnight session. Cruz, responding to the establishment pundits who have so viciously attacked and mocked him of late, compared the view that his actions are worthless because ObamaCare is going to be funded anyway to Neville Chamberlain and other British appeasers who resisted calls for forceful action against Hitler on the grounds that he was too powerful to be confronted directly.
McCain expressed mock outrage at this characterization, claiming that Cruz had dishonored all the men who fought and defeated Hitler, including his own grandfather and father. Huh? How does referring to Hitler’s appeasers dishonor his non-appeasers, exactly? Oh yes, this is John McCain — we should not be looking for rationality or factual accuracy here.
