McCain needs to be openly repudiated by the Tea Party. He is dying to give Obama the victories he needs--an amnesty would be one--for his 2012 re-election bid. McCain loves to be the center of attention; he's an egomaniac who hides his love of celebrity and power behind his reputation as a "maverick" and as the Republican Always Willing To Cooperate. I hate, in light of the man's honorable military history, to use the word "collaborator," but, politically, that's exactly what he's become.
