Tempers Flare and McCain is There

Everyone loses their temper now and again.


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 the Washington Post and the New York Post, Cornyn apparently got the former POW’s attention when he raised the issue about the number of judicial appeals that illegal immigrants could receive.

In a meeting room just off the Senate floor, McCain opined that Cornyn was purposely raising petty objections to a compromise plan then being hammered out between Senate Republicans and Democrats and the White House.

"This is chickens--- stuff," McCain fired at Cornyn, according to the news reports. "You've always been against this bill, and you're just trying to derail it."

Not to be outdone, Cornyn accused McCain of being too occupied campaigning for president to take part in the negotiations.

"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."

"F--- you! I know more about this than anyone else in the room," McCain reportedly rejoined.

Not everyone is running for President of the United States though. John McCain has a history of going off the deep end; of having swear outs and temper tantrums. Is this the man who can lead our country? I don't think so. John McCain is also the man who gives the Democrats what they want, even when this isn't best for America. Politics over national security is how this man remains so popular among liberals. He does have good and sound ideas but he would trade these in a minute to win the label of being bipartisan. No thank you. America first, Mr. McCain.
