McCain Flips Out Near Senate Floor:
It has often been reported that Sen. John McCain has a hair trigger temper, especially if he is questioned or challenged by his colleagues in the senate. The man has proved those reports to be true.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. and Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, launched into a shouting match during a Thursday Capitol Hill meeting, where reportedly the presidential candidate dropped the "F” word and more.
According to reports in both the Washington and New York Posts, Cornyn apparently got under McCain’s skin when he brought up the issue about the number of judicial appeals that illegal immigrants could receive.
McCain accused Cornyn of purposely raising petty objections to a compromise Immigration Bill being hammered out between Senate Republicans and Democrats and the White House. This Bill was sponsored by Sen. Ted Kennedy (D), whom McCain consistently votes with.
"This is chickens--- s%#t," McCain screamed at Cornyn, according to the news reports. "You've always been against this bill, and you're just trying to derail it." I can only surmise that Republicrat McCain feels that all Republicans should march in lock step with him.
Cornyn then accused McCain of being too occupied campaigning for president to take part in the negotiations the way he was supposed to. "Wait a second here," Cornyn said to McCain. "I've been sitting in here for all of these negotiations and you just parachute in here on the last day. You're out of line."
McCain retorted by saying: "F%#k you! I know more about this than anyone else in the room."
The shouting match started by McCain is reported to have taken place in front of a bipartisan group of senators and aides who had gathered in the meeting room.
This temper flare may reopen the can-of-worms that is McCain's "anger-management problem."
The truth is McCain, who has missed 42 votes this year, hasn't been intimately involved in the comprehensive immigration reform debate for months. Personally, I don’t like the idea that when our elected senators, want to run for the presidency, should receive their full pay when they are spending more time chasing votes and campaign contributions then they are doing the job for which they were elected.
If McCain is unable to control his temper, does he sound like the kind of man we need in the White House? I think NOT.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich Speaks Out Against the Senate Compromise on an Immigration Bill:
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich called the Senate compromise on immigration reform a citizenship "giveaway." Gingrich also criticized the federal government's inability to track the illegal immigrants already in the country, who are believed to number 12 million, and quipped that shipping companies would do a better job.
On Thursday, Gingrich was on Sean Hannity's radio program and stated: "I am so much in opposition to this bill that I want to make it very clear: If I were president, I would veto this bill. I think it's that bad. And I would challenge everybody currently running for president to indicate whether they would sign or veto this bill - nothing in between."
"This is a terrible sellout of American security," Gingrich concluded.
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!
Dozens of students at three Sacramento, California area public schools were suspended for taking a stand against a pro-homosexual event – called the “Day of Silence”, that was observed nationwide in April.
In the Sacramento area, some estimated 3,000 to 4,000 students chose to stay home instead of being confronted with the pro-homosexual message on the “Day of Silence”, while nearly 50 students who did attend school that day, wore clothing and distributed literature highlighting the dangers of homosexuality. Some of these students were sent home, some were suspended, and some were ordered to attend “Saturday school.”
According to Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute (PJI), “
Dacus believes that the suspension of the students who chose to counter the homosexual message was a violation of the Constitution of the
Dacus says that attorneys for the PJI are working to have the suspensions rescinded. He says if that does not happen, legal action will be taken and this case could possibly end up before the U.S. Supreme Court.
