John McCain Slams Stupid Tea Party “Hobbits” From Middle Earth (Video)

Sen. John McCain blasted stupid tea party hobbits today in a scathing speech on the senate floor. The former GOP presidential nominee added, “This is the same kind of crack political thinking that turned Sharron Angle and Christine O’Donnell into GOP nominees.”

Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) leveled a middle-earth ‘sting’ to GOP lawmakers who do not back Rep. John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) debt ceiling proposal by referencing the ‘Lord Of The Rings’ trilogy from a WSJ editorial.

CNN reported on McCain’s speech.

He said he fully supports a balanced budget amendment. But he thundered that current political realities make passing one in the near future near impossible.

“What is really amazing is that some (Senate) members are believing that we can pass a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution in this body with its present representation – and that is foolish,” McCain said.

“That is worse than foolish,” he continued. “That is deceiving many of our constituents.”

“To hold out and say we won’t agree to raising the debt limit until we pass a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, it’s unfair, it’s bizarre,” McCain added. “And maybe some people who have only been in this body for six or seven months or so really believe that. Others know better.”

McCain did not mention which senators he was referring to. But also on Wednesday, Sens. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, Mike Lee of Utah and Rand Paul of Kentucky, tea party boosters, joined many tea party activists who rallied on Capitol Hill demanding passage of the “Cut, Cap and Balance” plan. Among other things, that proposal would cut total spending by $111 billion for fiscal year 2012 and require a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution that would cap total annual spending at 18 percent.

McCain talked about Boehner’s plan and quoted the Wall St. Journal piece, which said: “The question now is whether House Republicans are going to help Mr. Boehner achieve significant progress, or in the name of the unachievable, hand Mr. Obama a victory.”

It is UTTERLY hard to believe that the GOP actually thought that this decrepit individual was the best that that party had to offer as president in 2008.

I knew Dole was terrible, but this guy, . . .

Yes, well, it was “unfair” and “bizarre,” Senator, when the GOP ran you as its candidate. Small wonder we lost the election.

McCain should just shut up and go away. Cant the man retire and live out his days in silence.

So what if it doesnt get passed. Make the damn Senate vote on it and let the voters decide if they should stay in.

Dinosaurs like McCain need to go if he is too afriad to actually vote on something that people care about.

Robin commented:

Let’s all ask him about the Savings and Loan scandal again. If I remember correctly, McCain has already cost the country and it’s citizens billions of dollars. He has no honor, so he really has nothing to lose anyway. He wants to be “remembered”. Just ignore him. That will hurt him a lot more than anything else. That is the only thing “attention whores” understand.

a former dem commented:

Why is passing a balanced buget amendent wrong? I don’t understand this…. of course it won’t solve the problem immediately, but this is at the root of the problem.

BTW, Mccain didn’t say this, he was reading the WSJ article.

Tell me once more, you Airizonans, why you elected this doddering old fool over JD Hayworth. There is no way Hayworth would have aligned himself with the rotten RINO faction.

There is NO way that Sharron Angle could ever be as bad as Dingey Harry.

And Christine O’Donnell was a million times better than Chris Coons.

Those seats would have made a huge difference, even if the Party of Rats had a senate majority.
#12 July 27, 2011 at 8:10 pm
Charlie commented:

I guess he doesn’t need any Tea Party support for another 6 years.

I mean it was Tea Party support that helped McCain get reelected. Think what chances Sharron Angle and Christine O’Donnell would have had with just a little Rino support. It’s crap like this that makes for want for a split. If we don’t get your help, then you don’t get ours. It’s not that difficult to understand.

Funny how McCain changes once he wins reelection. He wouldn’t have dared show his colors before last November.

Whether or not you agree with Speaker Boehner, the TEA party gave Boehner is Speakership by helping the GOP get its 63 new seats. They also helped add new GOP seats in the Senate.

This was pure grandstanding to win favor with this “colleagues.”

I don’t know why he didn’t join the Democratic Party years ago when he was reaching across the aisle to Ted “Swimmer” Kennedy.

I don’t know why everyone just can’t support Boehner. He is carrying the ball.
Unfortunately, Bachmann and Demint are making themselves look bad. Remember, they are both Presidential wannabees

As for me, they should invoke the 25th amendment remove the Usurper and let Boehner finish Obama’s term.

Fen commented:

The spending cuts are a mirage. They are all in the out-years of the 10 year plan. The next congress is not bound by them and will rescind the cuts. This congress needs to cut its own spending, and not by a measly 3%.

Is there any conservative candidate or congresscritter talking about that?

“both of the competing proposals take the easy way out by assuming savings primarily in the “out years,” the last of the ten years ostensibly covered by the budget plans. But this year’s Congress has no control over what a future Congress decides to spend years hence. “Cuts” in another Congress’s budget are entirely illusory. They will not materialize. The only spending cuts that have any significance are the ones over which this Congress has control, that is, the cuts that occur in the next one to two years. Beyond that, any budget document is a fantasy.”

One of my favorite talk show hosts is a guy out of Houston, Michael Berry (you can listen to him on the internet). He made a point today that is well worth taking note of; at no time in most of our lives have we seen everyday Americans as involved in their government as we are now. People are waking up, they are paying attention to what is going on in Washington, D.C. and they are demanding that the government be returned to its rightful owner, the people. The left, and McLame, are complaining about the TEA Party because THE SYSTEM IS WORKING the way it was orignially designed to work, government by the rule of the people.

$11 @ LaDue Pundit:

Very Good question. Why did Arizona Elect this Democrat McCain, to another Senate Term????

Answer: It does seem impossible, that such a Conservative state of Arizona, would elect this Liberal idiot McCain, to another term, but I think a strange mix of conditions have allowed it.

Naivete. Naivete. Naivete. There is a large population of very old age Retirement community in Arizona, and this, coupled with his public relations machine, that won’t let anyone forget about McLame being a “War Hero”, is part of it.

I am so Pro Military, and it is amazing to me that a so-called War Hero could be so Anti-American. McLame gives our military heros a bad name in my opinion.

McCain got in with with combination of a very naive Retirement age population, that don’t understand what the term “RINO” means. When he tells them that he is a Republican…they believe him….why would he lie to them…he is a “War Hero”. I think the rest of it is naive Independents voting for him, and him getting lucky and keeping enough of the Republicans that have voted for him in the past, based on his seniority.

What I would like to know is why does Fox News have this Liberal Idiot McCain on so many of their shows???? Fox News knows what the word RINO means, and they know he isn’t a Republican at heart.

John McCain has truly gotten reelected in Arizona, by deliberately misleading Arizonans, and pretending to be a Republican just to get elected, and then ramming his wishy washy Democrat ways down our throats, once he is safely in power. Look at his dunce of a liberal daughter, who also calls herself a Republican, and his wife, who is also liberal. I guesss decieving people, for power, runs in the family.

I agree that reelecting McCain, to another term in the Senate, is one of the biggest mistakes of the 2010 elections.

It seems that McCain hoarded POTUS campaign funds for his Senate run. He spent $21 MILLION in a PRIMARY!! to knock out the Republican JD Hayworth whose campaign warchest was about $3 MILLION. That’s what, outspent Hayworth 7 to 1?

So, a number of McCain supporters openly bragged that McCain was planning on using funds donated to him by Republicans to defeat Obama, instead to defeat another Republican challenger.

Remember McCain’s campaign snarling to Palin that they couldn’t afford to campaign in states like Michigan? Given what he had in hand to run his Senate primary afterwards, McCain was socking money away for his Senate race. They then turned on the frustrated and perplexed Palin accusing her of not being a “team player” for wondering out loud why they were giving up Michigan without a fight.

WHat a swell! Using GOP money to knock out Republicans! McCain’s in a class of his own. It’s a poor choice for him to evoke the Hobbits. Smeagol was a Hobbit cousin once before he became the obsessed and nasty Gollum.

See, this is why McCain is so loved by the base . . . he rarely passes up a chance to insult anyone more conservative than he is. The trait may have cost him the Presidency.

He is right about the BBA, though. It’s not a bad idea, but the idea you can solve an immediate problem by demanding 2/3 votes in House and Senate is just out there. And ratification by the states usually takes years. So tying it to the current crisis makes no sense at all.

From a Senator who worked hand in glove with Kerry to recognize Hanoi and can think that this behavior is typical of McCain. My question is why Arizona elected this turd?

How does it feel, Tea Partiers, to be a complete joke even within your own party?

And the funniest punchline is the hairy-palmed and hairy-footed crew that actually reads Hoft’s trash.

“What is really amazing is that some (Senate) members are believing that we can pass a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution in this body with its present representation – and that is foolish,” McCain said…….

Which is why we are working hard to rid our government of corrupt, self serving criminals like you and your cronies McLame. I wonder which would have really been worse, OBumbler or Mclame….

RedBeard commented:

This abominable display of ridiculous accusations, coming from the man who ran such a lousy campaign that he virtually handed the White House to Obama, is outrageous.

McCain has an honorable military record, and for that he deserves respect. But that goes only so far. His thoroughly dishonorable, confused, rudderless, and often stupidly bombastic service in the Senate is a separate matter entirely.

It’s far past time for Senator McCain to go home and tend the rabbits.

Dear Senator

Lesson learned.

Thank you for your service. Now retire.

My comments to Sauraman Mccain (McCain.Senate.Gov)

Mr. McCain – Why do you bash Sharron Angle and Christine O’Donnell with such virulent hatred? You sir are no conservative. Why don’t you just make it official and join the Democrap party? Thank you for handing the election to Obama on a silver platter in 2008, we could not have had a worse candidate in the GOP. I’m sure you’re enjoying the wrecking ball that’s been taken to our country as much as the rest of us are, but at this point, I don’t know who would have been worse. Only you could have made conservatives stay home in droves, but I’m glad we get these glimpses of your true colors from time to time. Perhaps you should go back to Mordor, you filthy filthy Senator……MY PRECIOUS!!!!

John,JOHN,Johnny.

Your cute, you really are but that being said, you are part of the problem, not part of the solution.
Your take on the Tea Party people or any other people for that matter means nothing.People sent those Tea Party people into office within the Republican party to fight you more so than the Democrats.Your failing leadership composed within your stale statesmanship is the primary reason that the country is in the shape it is today.
Your a dinosaur John and hopefully, within the next couple of election cycles, leaders like you will become near extinct within the halls of Congress so we can get the country back into working order.

Good luck to you John, enjoy the next few years in the Senate wrangling with the cavalry that is sure to come in the form of more Tea Party people.You will recognize them easily, they are the ones with principle and backbone, they stand out in your presence.

Wish he would spend his energy going after Reid who tabled CCB, do you really think Joe Manchin, former ov WV will vote no on CCB?

Hey, Indy, don’t for a second let a person like McCain put doubt in your mind about Tea Party people.
Like I said, the Tea Party people’s biggest fight is among the elitist old guard Republicans who will take up a position against the TP members at the drop of a dime on any issue.McCain types know who their biggest threat is and it isn’t their friends across the aisle.

Someone please, please put a feed bag on this old warhorse and lead him to the green pastures he so deserves. Arizona, you should be ashamed of yourselves for hitching this old nag back up for another pull at the plow. He is part of the circular firing squad called the same old, same old GOP. Oh Lord save us from things that go bump and boo in the night! When someone who should know patriots when he sees them, this old f@rt criticizes the Tea Party folks who are more American in what they stand for than any Marxist-Progressive-Demonrat ever could be. I am surprised he didn’t explode with the “T” word like Liberals he is so fond of reaching across the isle to touch. God, what a waste of good space! Retire John! Your better days are behind you… and take your children with you.

I’m generally with the tea party, and I dislike Straight-talkin’ Johnny. However, I believe a balanced-budget amendment is wrongheaded, even if it could be achieved. (It can’t.)

A piece by a law prof in a recent WSJ pointed out that such an amendemnt would paralyze the country by putting one spending bill after another into the courts. And when one thinks about it, he is probably right. Whether it be free speech, gun rights, due process, etc., the articles and amendments of the Constitution are constantly being challenged. A balanced-budget amendment, no matter how plainly written, would be no exeption.

Scott Ragland commented:

Sent this to my US Sen. from, (I Thank GOD For), TEXAS, John Cornyn, in reply to a fundraising email during the 2010 election campaign.
Sorry for the all caps ‘yelling’, it was a reaction to the sheer gall of the RINOs in asking for money under such circumstances.

It seems more appropriate here and now:
Sen. McCain,
You, and your ‘collegial’ cronies in office, had better get the message:

NO DONATION$ TO RINOs such as yourself, Orrin Hatch, Scott Brown, Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, nor to any Senator who feels that ‘collegiality’ or ‘friendship’ or ‘concensus’ or ‘reaching across the aisle’ with DemObots is meaningful, let alone important, on ANYTHING AT ALL!!

You and your ‘friends’ are sent there to PROTECT me from foreign invaders, INCLUDING the invasion of Illegal Immigrant SCUM. Next, from the Gummint, and lastly, from infiltrators, parasites, and other deviants such as ANY and ALL Public Employee unions at every level of Gummint, and to fight tooth and nail in doing so.

You RINOs had better wake up, and start attending to the voices and positions of Tea Party candidates such as Rand Paul and Marco Rubio, along with Sarah Palin; Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, and more such as they who are daily making it more clear that WE the Citizens WILL be no longer in any way dependent on, let alone under the power of, your elitist top-down RINO Party-first power-grubbing and pork-chugging ways, than we will any longer allow the 100 year stranglehold on information and communications of the G- D- communist, atheist, America-haters in the dinosaur/elite media to bottleneck the flow of information to the public.

WAKE UP, START BOLDLY AND CLEARLY DENOUNCING THE FIFTH COLUMN IN THE WHITE HOUSE; THE ELITE/DINOSAUR MEDIA MORONS; THE DEMO-RAT PARTY APPARATCHIKS; NEA; AFSCME; SEIU; UAW; TEAMSTERS, et al, AS WELL AS TRIAL LAWYERS; ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT SCUM OF WHATEVER COLOR, ETHNIC, RELIGIOUS, OR NATIONAL, ORIGIN; AND RACE BAITERS OF ANY COLOR, OR YOU ALSO WILL BE PRIMARIED/VOTED OUT AS SOON AS WE CAN GET YOUR NAME ON A BALLOT!!!!

GET OFF THE BACK OF SMALL BUSINESS AND PRIVATE CITIZENS, AND GET -PUBLICLY- ON THE BACK OF THE STALINIST DUNCE IN THE WHITE HOUSE, ALONG WITH HIS EPA; DOL; NLRB, ETC, AND THE IDIOT RACIST COMMUNIST HEADING UP THE DEPT OF ‘JUSTICE’!

WE, THE PEOPLE, THE -!SOVEREIGN!- CITIZENS OF -!OUR!- NATION, HAVE HAD IT WITH YOUR RINO ‘COLLEGIALITY’ AND ‘MY GOOD FRIEND’-ING WITH TRAITORS AND PORK-BARREL STALINIST DEMOBOTS ‘ACROSS THE AISLE’!

STOP ‘REACHING ACROSS THE AISLE’ TO DemoRats IN EITHER HOUSE, AND START PUBLICLY BASHING THEM AS THEY DO YOU, OR YOU ARE MORE A FOOL THAN SHOWS IN YOUR PANDERING TO MY PATRIOTISM TO GET MY $, WHILE TREATING WE CITIZENS AS YOU WOULD A ‘CHALLENGED’ CHILD!

STOP PANDERING TO CELEBRITY DINOSAUR/ELITE ‘NEWS’ MEDIA PERSONALITIES, AND START PUBLICLY DENOUNCING THEM FOR THE LYING TRAITOROUS MORONICALLY STUPID THUGS THEY ARE!

If I receive ONE more of your pleading, pandering emails before seeing/hearing BOLD, CLEAR AND PUBLIC STATEMENTS ALIGNING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY LEADERSHIP WITH, AND MAKING A CLEAR COMMITMENT TO, BASIC TEA PARTY PRINCIPLES YOU TOO WILL BE GOOONE, GOOONE, GOOONE COME OUR EARLIEST CHANCE TO VOTE/KICK YOUR CORRUPT LYING PANDERING WEASEL-WORDING RINO HIDE BACK TO THE MORAL AND POLITICAL CORRUPTIONS FROM WHENCE ALL YOUR ELITIST ILK SPRING!

To paraphrase Ronaldus Magnus:
JOIN THE AWAKENING OF THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION OR BE LEFT ON THE ‘ASH HEAP OF HISTORY’!

Good day to you, Sir.

I use to keep Hannity loaded with my McCain subject emails and I think he finally gets it. I voted Palin because a vote for B Hussein O was suicidal. I just squinted and did it.

McCain was very bit a sore of loser as Gore. Abu Ghraib and labeling Bush a torturer was among his shining moments. Oh, and yes he did support his good friend Kerry until about 6 months before the election. He couldn’t bring himself to support the Swifties? Geesh……

As many have rightly pointed out the Hobbits were the heros of the story and saved the world from the big and powerful elites who believed they knew better than anyone else. Sound familiar Mr. McCain? We would do worse than listening to our hobbits, such as listening to the Washington insiders who caused these problems and probability of default in the first case. It seems that Sen. McCain is not content to let Jimmy Carter be the only insane auntie in the attic, in US politics.
