he has not come off any way but angry, sour grape get even with used to was every since he lost to the Pres. i don't think he picked Palin i think the party picked her to boost his dying effort he agreed out of desperation not her abilities. think he got sucked in to the perceived hoopla from angry republican rhetoric and hitched his wagon now IMO with regret he phases in and out of good guy to right wing haterThe mother of a young man killed in the Aurora, Colo. movie theater massacre told TPM on Thursday she was appalled at the way Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) handled her question about an assault weapons ban at a town hall event in Phoenix.
“I was very surprised that a senator, who has been in office for over 30 years, would address a grieving mother, who just lost her son exactly seven months prior — yesterday was the 20th, I lost my son on 7-20-2012 — to tell me that I needed ‘some straight talk,’” Caren Teves said by phone.
At Wednesday’s town hall, Teves told McCain that her son, Alex, was killed in the massacre, and she urged the senator to support a ban on assault weapons. McCain responded: “I can tell you right now you need some straight talk. That assault weapons ban will not pass the Congress of the United States.”
that statement alone is more than enough for reasonable voters to not vote republican 2014 & 2016 and on. telling a voter the reason you are here and your lost means nothing, whats next 50 cal. machine guns on all cars after 2016? it's your call.
