John McCain, labelled the architect of the 14 Senator Compromise on judicial nominees, is trying to broker another deal. This time, it involves an up or down vote on John Bolton at the start of next month. This time, the Democrats want access to some documents.
Senator John McCain of Arizona, signaled his support on Friday for a compromise in which the White House might allow Senate leaders access to highly classified documents in return for a final vote early next month on Mr. Bolton's nomination as United Nations ambassador.
The conciliatory signal from Mr. McCain came as Senate leaders traded blame over who was responsible for the miscalculation that led to Mr. Bolton's nomination being blocked Thursday. But the White House showed no sign that the Bush administration might change course.
Do you smell it? Yep, McCain is giving away everything for nothing again...His last deal worked oh so well in returning
"I think that we can resolve this over the recess and get this thing done and get John Bolton to work," he said. "I'm sorry there is going to be a delay."
Mr. McCain was among 53 Republicans left stunned by the Democratic move, which foiled a Republican-led effort to bring the nomination to a final roll-call vote.
Yes, and while we are at it, Emperor McCain Palpatine will give HillRod the keys to the White House, Harry Reid the nuclear launch codes, and Barney Frank control of the military...in return we get a free happy meal at McDonald's, but only if we smile while we take it up the yin yang....
Emperor Palpatine McCain, you wouldn't be stunned by the Democratic move if you actually paid attention to the crap they have been pulling on judges, instead of throwing those judges and the will of the American People under the bus. Maybe if you did less "brokering" for the cameras and actually stood for principle, then maybe you would be worth a damn as a Senator.
Mr. McCain's comments on Friday suggested that he might once again see himself as playing a broker's role, though he did not say what he believed a compromise might entail.
Yes, all hail the Savior of the Republic, John Palpatine McCain! Friggin arrogant synchopant!
On Thursday afternoon, both sides agree, Mr. Reid and other Democrats warned Republicans that critics of Mr. Bolton had made headway and could potentially block a vote.
Yes, so much for a new start...so much for doing the right thing, right Darth Lindsey Graham? You totally arrogant jerks! You gave away the barn for a smoke and mirrors agreement, thinking you had accomplished so much....Who looks like a loser and a dolt now, McCain?
Keep on doing this, and you won't be able to run for dog catcher, much less President, that is, unless you become a Democrat. Right now, you are a much better weapon for them than any fake memos. Thanks for nothing, Emperor Goiter Palpatine McCain.
