John McCain is not one of the heartless creeps that the Tea Party is full of. But he is hardly a hero with a conscience as portrayed by many people here. 

If he had a conscience he would have left the party when it turned hard right recently. All those who oppose the nastiness that has become the soul of the Republican party should form a new party. Let the extremists stand on their own. The extreme right cannot be supported by any person who cares about those less fortunate. Or the hundreds of victims annually of gun violence. Etc., etc.
