John McCain: The 11th Commandment

Sen. John McCain on Thursday called for divided Republicans to unite in the aftermath of the contentious shutdown and debt ceiling fight.
The Arizona Republican told CNN that although Republicans must continue to debate a number of issues splitting the party, “at the end of the day we’ve got to come together.”
“There’s going to be a fight in our party. There’s a fight in our party,” McCain said on “New Day.” “And that has to be waged. And it’s been there before. It’s also about internationalists versus isolationists. There’s debates that are going to go on in our party. And it’s probably healthy for us to have that debate. But at the end of the day we’ve got to come together.”
“Some place along the line we forgot Ronald Reagan’s 11th commandment,” he added. “You know what it was? Don’t speak ill of your fellow Republicans. We’ve done way too much of that.”
McCain also predicted that during the next fight the government would not be shut down as “people have been too traumatized.”
“We’re not going to shutdown the government again,” he said. “I guarantee it.”
The lesson of this shutdown and the subsequent deal, McCain said, will hopefully be “stop this foolish childishness.”
“The president won,” he said. “I give him credit. He won. But he should have negotiated more earlier and we could have prevented some of this pain.”
And there is no question that “everybody suffered in this,” the senator said.
“One thing that politicians want, it’s approval,” McCain added. “The American people spoke loud and clear. They disapprove of what we’re doing. So we’ve got to stop this childishness.”

Except the old coot ignores the fact this was to stop liberal Republicans like McCain from trashing conservative Republicans... like Ted Cruz.

He sure does.
For some reason he fancies himself the leader of the GOP - loser that he was... I guess he thinks losing was winning or something.

Because the Obama media elected him leader. They know that whenever they go to him for a comment they can be sure he will run down Conservatives and Tea Partiers, so they go to him.

Hannity has really been going after him on his radio program the last couple of days, I have to assume on his Fox show not so much???

Yes, he does. And this why McCain's hatred of Cruz is visceral and abrasive.

I just wish he didn't have control over Flake... talk about a disappointment... and I saw it coming, Flake was never his own person in congress, I knew he wouldn't be in the senate.
