Dems Fed Up With McCain: "Angry Old Defeated Candidate"

Dems Fed Up With McCain: "Angry Old Defeated Candidate" (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/15/dems-growing-angry-with-m_n_167062.html)

"Democrats are growing increasingly frustrated with the brash political attacks Sen. John McCain has launched against Barack Obama in the weeks since the new president took office. No one expected the Arizona Republican to be a legislative ally for this administration. But it was widely assumed that Obama's overtures to McCain in the weeks after the election would dull some of the hard feelings between the two. Now, they are realizing, it has not.

"He is bitter and really angry," Bob Shrum said of McCain in an interview on Friday. "He is angry at the press, which he thinks is unfair. He is angry at Obama and angry at the voters. He has gone from being an angry old candidate to being an angry old defeated candidate."

Indeed, during the debate over the economic stimulus package it was McCain, as often as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who spearheaded the opposition. The Arizona Republican denounced the proposal as pure pork on the Senate floor and introduced an alternative measure compromised nearly entirely of tax cuts."

So, the fact that he was trying to get the Senate to consider doing something to stimulate the economy, as opposed to pretending they were doing something to stimulate the economy, is somehow an indication that he is angry at the press, the voters and Obama?

Anyway, good for him. Frankly, I can't think of a better endorsement of a politician's agenda, than the reality that it makes the aforementioned parties 'frustrated'. His incessant efforts to make Democrats happy over the last decade played as large a role as anything in his recent loss. Maybe he's finally decided that it doesn't do him any good to placate idiocy. :shrug: The fact that he EVER had the stomach to do so makes him hard to respect.

Makes me happy I voted for him!

Why on earth would-(look there's Obama, omygodohmygod my legs are tingling)- he think that?

I sure have a belly full of McCain.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day and that is about McCains record.

Hey! Finally McCain and I have something in common because I'm angry at all those bastards, too!
