The Republican Party had a little internal power struggle that actually is really quite pathetic. Seems blowhard Rush Limbaugh thinks RNC chair Michael Steele is a traitor because he is trying to steer a more moderate course. Rush wants Steele to join in his expressions of hope that America's recovery fails because he doesn't want Obama to look good. Steele responded by saying he, not Rush, was the head of the Republican Party and that no one should wish America fails. This simple statement sent Rush and his fanatics into spasms of red-faced rage, some of it becoming outright racism (as discussed in this Daily Kos diary chronicling some of the more virulent Republican racism levelled at Obama and Steele). In the end, Steele, the actual guy with a leadership position in the Republican Party and the guy who is trying to be moderate, surrendered and grovelled at Limbaugh's feet. So the Republican Party remains the party that wishes for America to fail.

John McCain was out of the torturous grip of the North Vietnamese for approximately one year when Congress passed Public Law 93-531 in 1974. Public Law 93-531 was called the Relocation Act, and was falsely justified by what "Peabody Coal Company's public relations and lobbying firms" falsely constructed  as the "Hopi-Navajo land dispute." This "range war" was not true. What was true, was lawyer John Boyden with the assimilated Hopi Tribal Council.

Boyden formed a Hopi Tribal Council that consisted of several First Mesa Hopi who had been converted to Mormonism, based on an election in which about 10 percent of the Hopis on the reservation voted. The newly elected Tribal Council then hired Boyden as their lawyer.

John Boyden with his assimilated Hopi Tribal Council wanted Peabody Coal to strip mine Black Mesa after the natural resources had been discovered. More than 10,000 Navajo and 100 Hopi did not want Black Mesa stripped.

While most pundits, and wanna-be pundits,  keep acting like paparazzis in this era of TMZ politics over none issues, the big stories are going under the rug never to see the sun. One such issue is that of Big Mountain, where over 10,000 Navajos are facing a modern day  Trail of Tears. This forced-relocation is the work of a horrific "Indian Agent",  one John McCain.

Senator McCain introduced and amended legislation (S1973-1 and S.1003) which he claimed were justified by what has turned out to be a non-existent range war between the Dineh (mainly consisting of grandfathers and grandmothers in their 70's living on farmlands that had belonged to their tribe since 1500 AD) and the Hopi (the 3-5 individuals rapidly assembled to assist Peabody Western Group by Senator McCain, Congressman Owens and John Boyden).
