As much as I don’t like John McCain’s collaboration with Progressives on issues, there is no doubt he is a Patriot. However, his patriotism blinds him to the evil and ruthless nature of the Progressives. The Leftist media sang his praises for years, until he won the GOP nomination. Then they turned on him and destroyed him in merciless fashion. McCain under pressure from our former Treasury Secretary and Goldman Sachs crony Hank Paulson, supported the TARP bill. Under attacks from JD Hayworth, he is now claiming he was misled.
Under growing pressure from conservatives and “tea party” activists, Sen. John McCain of Arizona is having to defend his record of supporting the government’s massive bailout of the financial system.
In response to criticism from opponents seeking to defeat him in the Aug. 24 Republican primary, the four-term senator says he was misled by then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. McCain said the pair assured him that the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program would focus on what was seen as the cause of the financial crisis, the housing meltdown.

Personally, I feel this is a flimsy excuse on McCain’s part. Years in Washington have made him embrace Progressivism. His idol is not Ronald Reagan, but Progressive Republican Teddy Roosevelt. It was Teddy who began to mainstream the Progressive Ideology that has been a cancer onto this nation. McCain is just saying this because he’s under pressure from JD Hayworth’s candidacy. Make no mistake, John McCain is a Progressive Republican. Before anyone says he’s tough on National Security, let us also not forget he was a cheerleader of the Bombing of Serbia on behalf of the Saudis/KLA/AL-Qaeda. This opened the door for Islamic expansion into Europe and was a huge win for Islamo-Imperialism by neutering the last Christian resistance in Europe.
I respect John McCain’s service, but I have no respect for his Progressive ideas. He needs to go away, along with the whole GOP elite.
Update: Mitt Romney shows his Elitist colors by endorsing McCain.
Update II: Michelle Malkin calls out John McCain and his support of Progressive ideas.
