Oh, the campaign season is in high gear and in the gutter as Republican presidential candidates Sen. John "F--- You" McCain (R-Ariz) and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney had it out over the "comprehensive immigration reform" bill scam.
Because Mr. Romney dared to question and express opposition to major components of the scam, Sen "F--- You" McCain had this lovely quip:
"Maybe I should wait a couple of weeks and see if it changes, since its changed in less than a year. Maybe his solution would be to get out his small varmint gun and drive those Guatemalans off his lawn or something."
To update the short hand of Sen. "F--- You" McCain, he is referencing that Mr. Romney has changed from supporting the current scam bill in the senate to opposing it because it is not strong enough on border enforcement, employer sanctions and amnesty. Mr. Romney has not changed his position, it has been that for quite a while. The reference to the small varmint gun is due to Mr. Romney trying, albeit too hard, to appeal to gun-owner voters and saying he is a lifelong hunter when he really is not. The Guatemalan reference is due to the company that Mr. Romney used for gardening allegedly had Guatemalan illegals working for it.
Hmm, while Mr. Romney voiced opposition to the scam bill on the merits, Sen "F--- You" McCain went to unbecoming personal attacks on Mr. Romney. Of course he did not address the legitimate concerns of Mr. Romney, just went for the cheap shot. Mr. Romney did have a good response:
"I have respect for Sen. McCain, and I guess it shows that even when he's wrong, he's amusing."
Short, not offensive and to the point. But the bigger problem is with Sen. "F--- You" McCain is that he has not shown the ability to defend the scam bill on the merits. As he told Texas Sen. John Cornyn, "F--- You! I know more about this legislation than any of you here." All Sen. Cornyn was trying to say is that while Sen. "F--- You" McCain was busy for the past five weeks campaigning, he was not around to do the heavy lifting dumped on his fellow Arizona Sen. John Kyl to get this abysmal compromise that, does not really address the issues that people like Sen. Cornyn and Mr. Romney are bringing up.
A lot of people are speculating that Sen. "F--- You" McCain's anger is coming up is due to the fact that, while he tries to fight the good fight for the GOP nod, because of this he is going to be finished even before a vote is cast early next year. I concur. Sen. "F--- You" McCain is probably thinking to himself "I am going to lose to these guys? I can't believe it! They should just give me the nomination by acclamation for all I have done!"
For the record, all his fingerprints are on things that matter most to Republican primary voters such as the "Gang of 14" that scuttled many of the Bush administrations choices for federal judges so a deal could be worked out. Also, his continuous drivel about treating terrorist suspects like signatories to the Geneva Convention on POWs and now, this cherry on top-the "comprehensive immigration bill" scam.
It is too bad because Sen. "F--- You" McCain is a great American and most of the time a good conservative Republican senator. But when he goes down this road, it is very bad and shows the American people a side that I do not think they want in their leader.
Hopefully, Sen. "F--- You" McCain can actually defend the questions that many Republicans, and some Democrats, have on this legislation.
