…is the new John McCain.
What make him think that anyone needed a new John McCain? Hasn’t he noticed that it took someone other than him or John McCain to defeat the Democrats? Or maybe neither of them really cared about defeating the Democrats?

Justin Amash has proven to be quite a disappointment to this libertarian.
One more thing, J-Am, where are your libertarian principles regarding illegal surveillance on American citizens? On Illegal FISA warrants, national security letters, human intelligence assets being placed around a political campaign by the unelected political bureaucracy? The jack-booted fedgov strong-arming people to plead to process crimes? U cool with that bro, because TRUMP?
I’d like to see someone confront him along those lines.
Scumbag though McCain was, you can sort of see–from his point of view, anyway–why he stabbed the party in the back so many times after being passed over for the Presidential nomination back in 2000[1]. Well, I mean, if you were kinda crooked like he was.
The question is, what’s going on in Romney’s past that would make him do the same?
[1] I don’t know how true this is, but it’s something I’ve heard more than once before.
Romney just wants to appear respectable but he forgets how the media treated him and that they would turn on him in a heartbeat.
The stupid thing is that he experienced the game first hand but doesn’t bother to think that maybe the media and the Democrats tag team against other politicians and that just maybe what the media says isn’t entirely accurate.
There’s also a mini-McCain in the House in the form of my own congresscritter, Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA). He’s all about reaching across the aisle to Solve Problems and Get Things Done.
