Michelle Malkin offers a warning to the stupid party this morning:

With all due respect to McCain’s past noble war service, it’s time to head to the pasture. As the Supreme Court ruled on Thursday, he was wrong on the constitutionality of the free-speech-stifling McCain-Feingold campaign finance regulations. He was wrong to side with the junk-science global warming activists in pushing onerous carbon caps on America. He was on the wrong side of every Chicken Little-driven bailout. He was wrong in opposing enhanced CIA interrogation methods that have saved countless American lives and averted jihadi plots. And he was spectacularly wrong in teaming with the open-borders lobby to push a dangerous illegal alien amnesty.
As I have said lots and lots and lots of times, neither the Democratic nor the Republican leadership have a good handle on Tea Partiers. The Dems are not even on the same planet.
At least some folks on the right have a glimmer of understanding about Tea Partiers and their discontents. John McCain is not among their number.
The Supreme Court just axed a huge piece of the McCain Feingold Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act. (Huzzah! BCRA delenda est!)
To my lasting disappointment, John McCain was the GOP alternative in the 2008 presidential election. The result: a year of Prez B Cool tripping over his own feet while throwing people under the bus.
I really want the rising tide of conservative GOP Congressional and gubernatorial candidates to sweep into office, shifting the ground that candidates will run on during the 2012 presidential election..
I really really really want the GOP to dig up somebody worthwhile for the 2012 presidential election. John McCain is not that somebody.
Right now, the GOP merely disappoints. If Republican leadership wants to earn white hot fury, they’ll “succumb to McCain Regression Syndrome.”
