McCain's meltdown over DADT and Hate Crimes
by Joe Sudbay (DC) on 8/05/2010 06:50:00 PM

Remember that unstable John McCain we all grew to know during the 2008 campaign. Well, he was back with a vengeance today on the Senate floor screaming "Get off my lawn, you damn gays":

And, he's wrong about hate crimes. There was no secrecy around it. In fact, there were two recent Senate votes amending hate crimes to the Defense Authorization bill. In 2007, the hate crimes amendment broke the filibuster by vote of 60 - 39 (McCain was absent.) In 2009, the hate crimes amendment broke the filibuster by a vote of 63 - 28. McCain was there. The debate lasted a couple hours, not weeks. Clearly, McCain is easily confused, especially when he's being homophobic.

This is just an early indicator of what the battle will be like in the Senate to pass the compromise DADT repeal bill. It's going to get ugly

1. Essentially what he's saying is that security is worth more than liberty.

Paraphrasing... How dare they focus on hate crimes when defense spending is still not dealt with.

3. Thanks for the summary, I really cannot watch this man after the

disastrous Presidential campaign he ran. I never want to be forced to listen to him again... what a genuine sellout.

2. blah blah blah

That's what sounded like to me after a few seconds

4. Just think...we ALMOST had that old fart in the White House....

...with his runner-up beauty queen, empty-headed, half-governor of "see-Russia-through-my-kitchen-window".

Jesus...we are a nation of morons. Luckily, they aren't the majority...yet.

5. I am so glad we didn't have

This "angry old man" as our President. One could imagine the mess we would be in. Having a "cool head" is what's needed in these times. Obama certainly fits that description.

6. I'll say it again, the easiest way to defeat these loons

is to simply play their own words from the past along with their hypocritical, sell-out-to-the-tea-baggers words now, and show them for what they really are!
