McCain on Republicans

I think McCain sold out long ago, but he gets this right:

"Hypocrisy, my friends, is the most obvious of political sins — and the people will punish it," said Mr. McCain, Republican of Arizona. "We were elected to reduce the size of government and enlarge the sphere of free and private initiative. We increased the size of government in the false hope that we could bribe the public into keeping us in office.

"We lost our principles and our majority," he said. "And there is no way to recover our majority without recovering our principles first."
