John McCain: GOP Has To ‘Give Americans A Reason To Be For Us’
Apparently now that he has defeated dogged opponent J.D. Hayworth in the senate primary it is safe for the old John McCain to raise his head again. McCain popped up on Fox News Sunday this morning and essentially told Chris Wallace that if the GOP intends to make permanent inroads in the midterms this fall it needs to be something other than the party of No.
Said McCain:
The question is, how well do we do. And I think then we get down to…I believe, the Republicans have to come up with a contract for, with, of, whatever you want to call it, with America. And I think a balanced budget amendment to the constitution has to be a part of it. Elimination of earmarking and pork barrel spending. Repeal and replace ObamaCare. We have to have a short list of promises we’ll make the American people. And keep it….we’ve got to give Americans a reason to be for us rather than just be against the Democrats and the President.
And just like the McCain hits the nail on the head of the essential weakness of the GOP. It will be interesting to see who falls in line behind him on this and how quickly. McCain also says he thinks the Tea Partiers are an “interesting addition” and he later notes that the approval ratings for the Republicans are just as bad as they are for Democrats.
