With the candidacy of Senator McCain, the Republican Party has moved one step farther down the road of extinction. Don't get me wrong, I think that McCain is a very principled and distinguished Senator; however, with his support for the outrageously flawed EERA of 2008, he abandoned his principles for a political advantage. This is the mark of a beltway politico, not the action of a statesman. Even though it may have caused some pain in the short term, a "no vote" by Senator McCain would have allowed him to maintain his career long stance against political pork. His support for such a flawed and pork-ridden bill put him back into the camp of Obama, Dodd, and Speaker Pelosi and her liberal crew in the House.
Supporting this unbelievable piece of ill-written legislation, McCain showed that he did not have what it takes to stand his ground nor be the maverick his most recent actions have showed him to be. McCain should have made the correct decision to fight against this bill for a better one. Nothing required this time line of action except the fear-mongering White House and financial media: both of which has a vested interested in getting the bill passed.
Senator McCain: know this act of political cowardice is not becoming a man of your stature or integrity. Why didn't you have the "gromba" to stand your historical hatred of pork. Too bad, sir.
