Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is continuing to criticize his fellow Republicans for their filibuster of incoming CIA Director John O. Brennan over drone policy. In an interview with the Huffington Post, McCain referred to Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) as “wackos.”
“They were elected, nobody believes that there was a corrupt election, anything else,” McCain said. “But I also think that when, you know, it’s always the wacko birds on right and left that get the media megaphone.”
Asked to clarify, McCain said he was referencing “Rand Paul, Cruz, Amash, whoever.”
McCain and Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) took strong exception to the filibuster, saying they support the possible use of drones to prevent terrorist attacks anywhere in the world. Some Republicans have privately worried that the high-profile stand, while garnering a lot of positive attention, will ultimately be bad for the party.
“You know, I think he’s just on the wrong side of history, and on the wrong side of this argument, really,” Paul responded in a radio interview with former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee Friday afternoon. He said he respected McCain’s service and record, but that that experience didn’t mean his colleague was always right: “I treat Sen. McCain with respect. I don’t think I always get the same in return.”

People like McCain and his ilk, don't live in perpetual fear of terrorist. They live in perpetual fear of loosing their power base. They are corrupted to the point, that our Constitution has no meaning to them anymore.

I'd say so! WOW. John McCain is seriously over due to retire.
Sen McCain .. I appreciate what you did for your country in the past,
but now you are now hurting it more than helping. Please retire. Thank you.

McCain should just shut up before he loses even more of his base.
I regret giving him my support.
Part of me thinks that McCain may be one of the reasons the GOP never supported Ron paul.
If you arent establishment GOP- then you are a danger and a threat to them.
McCain- shut your trap. You are making people hate you.

That sounds like they think it would be perfectly fine and necessary for the use of American drones in places such as London, Toronto, Bejing, Moscow .....
Anywhere in the world????

Y'all think John McCain is the insane one.
Not the daydreaming Dictator, wearing the wig.
Or the TRIAL LAWYER funded by Paul, who has no idea how any of this works.
No not them,
John McCain is the crazy one that doesn't understand
true posturing... I mean patriotism.
