Amid a speech on Washington’s self-inflicted debt crisis, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said Wednesday that the tea party’s political strategy is essentially bogus and plays into Democrats’ hands, and urged tea party Republicans to support House Speaker John Boehner’s plan to extend the debt limit for another nine months. Describing the tea party’s strategy to force a rewrite of the Constitution by triggering a default, he concluded that their thinking was along the lines of something from “Lord of the Rings.” “And the tea party hobbits could return to Middle Earth having defeated Mordor,” he said. “This is the kind of crack political thinking that turned Sharon Angle and Christine O’Donnell into GOP Senate nominees. The reality is, the debt limit will be raised one way or another.” This video is from C-SPAN 2, broadcast Wednesday, July 27, 2011, as snipped by Mediaite.

A tweet from Senator Rand Paul to Senator Juan McAmnesty
One lives in a hole the other under a bridge with the difference being what?
Hobbits drink tea, but you and McCain are stuck with D&R Kool-Aid.
Platitudes are all you have. You certainly don't have anything approaching an intellect. Do you pay your bills or are you a deadbeat? My guess is that you're on some sort of fixed income because of you own sense of entitlement but don't want anyone else to "get" there's as you do yours...
Do you pay your bills .... blah blah, troll bait Good to see that I struck a nerve regarding your close kinship with Juan McInsane. You're not getting one iota of personal info out of me. I've seen you in action with Badeye. You're a vicious, data scrounging, liberal jack booted thug. REQUEST DENIED!

If you see that, you're blind. And since you refused to answer whether or not you pay your bills, the answer is obviously "no" and you're a deadbeat.
lmao. Only on the internet. IN the RW he's just a ass that can't keep a job because of his attitude. Gee, surprise, surprise, surprise.

To those referring to "Tea Party hobbits." I'd rather be a hobbit than a troll.
