McCain is handling Lybia situation well, and isn't doing Mitt any favors

From CNN's front page online:

[Updated at 5:36 p.m. ET] U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, referring to last year's revolt of Libyans against Moammar Gadhafi, said on the Senate floor Wednesday that Libyans "rose up last year to free themselves from exactly the kinds of murderers and terrorists who killed our American citizens yesterday in Benghazi."

"Their enemies are our enemies," McCain said.


Notice he isn't suggesting Islam is an anti-American value, or that we should strike against Lybia, or whatever Romney seemed to be hoping for. Romney has lost it. The rats are jumping ship.

Romney has finally reached that limit with many of the GOP. McCain never liked him anyway, but he hates president Obama even more because he beat him in the last election. Now even McCain has to stop trying to make excuses for Romney's constant stupidity!

Romney is toast, and he still has lots of time to make an even bigger ass of himself before the elections, and I am pretty sure he will since he is pretty damned good at that! The more he opens his mouth the worse it gets. The debates will show us the real Romney, and it won't be good for him or the GOP!
