McCain calls the Tea Party "hobbits"

Washington (CNN) - On the same day that House Speaker John Boehner told Republicans to "Get your asses in line" and support his debt ceiling proposal, Sen. John McCain also blasted fellow Republicans.

In a Senate floor speech laced with sarcasm and stings, the Arizona Republican aimed especially harsh fire at the tea party Wednesday.

McCain said the movement is "foolish" to think a balanced budget amendment could pass before the August 2 deadline. At one point, McCain read from an op-ed in Wednesday's Wall Street Journal. That article referred to activists as "tea party hobbits" – the little people who inhabit Middle-earth in the Lord of the Rings series.

McCain – 2008's Republican presidential nominee – also blasted as "bizarre" an idea supported by current GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, though McCain did not mention her by name.

McCain--unknowingly--couldn't have given the Tea Party in this country a BETTER COMPLIMENT.

After all in the epic--"Lord of the Rings"--the only people who could be TRUSTED with the RING--aka the National Treasury--were HOBBITS.
 
McShame lost in 2010 because was too liberal.

Were he to run in 2012 he'd lose either because he has become more liberal or he has become senile.

Oh, wait, those are the same!


um, he didn't lose in 2010....didn't you know that?

Thank you, I've corrected it.

Problem was I've been so busy trying to forget what The New Messiah has done with our (former) nation between then and now. After all, we're no longer a nation, merely a wholly-owned subsidiary. Problem is we're not sure who's snapping the whip; George Soros? China?
