Why are some of you so giddy over John McCain?

"Do you know why Chelsea Clinton is so ugly? Because Janet Reno is her father." -- John McCain

Do you find this endearing??

How about this......

<When he first ran for Congress in the early 1980s, he referred to the senior community of Leisure World as "Seizure World.">

He isn't the worst repuke out there, but he is a * ass kisser and hugged and supported him on the campaign trail so he is dead to me as far as politics go.

Don't encourage them, I'm not entirely sure what their agenda is...but I think they have one, so just ignore them.

Maybe he'll go away entirely.

I have yet to understand how he gets portrayed as angelic by the media and alot of Dems and Independents.

John McCain lives on The Good Ship Lollipop...the man doesn't seem to be playing with a full deck of cards.

They pump him up as a Moderate...we need to bust him by exposing his voting record, which is very similar to Rick Santorum's and Orrin Hatch's...anti-abortion, anti-Labor Union, anti-gay rights, anti-poor people, anti-middle class people, pro-Gung Ho etc.

We CAN bust him, it should be pretty simple. We can formulate a plan to bust him....constantly have an under-the-radar attack campaign against him...and considering McCain is mentally unstable anyway, it should be VERY easy to make him fall apart COMPLETELY.

I'd soon have him on his knees, crying and screaming for mercy and begging for Momma...oh yes I would.

Remember when Dubya said last year while signing a military spending bill that his Administration never stopped thinking of new ways to harm the American people?? LOL!

I woulda had that out nationally as a campaign commercial if I was John Kerry. Even Moveon.org didn't jump on it!! I was sorely disappointed when they didn't do it.

McCain out...I'd run an under-the-radar campaign and I'd have him squashed like a bug.

McCain is as crazy as a runover dog...sure he was a war hero...but then so was Randy "Democrats should be lined up against a wall and shot" Cunningham. These creeps are the ENEMY and we need to treat them like the ENEMY.

The wedge issues to be used on McCain, are his mental instability coupled with his extreme Right-Wing voting record.

To put it simply, give me a month...and I'd FINISH John McCain political AND personally. I'd have him rendered into a gibbering wreck...and I'd then throw a party and celebrate.

Yep...it's personal now with these creeps.

On Edit: Dammit spelling error.

tell them we want scalps!! I wish I had the money to make that polictical commercial last year. Bush WOULD NOT be Pres.



My hubby is a Brit.. from Sheffield.
:hi:

My Daddy is from Scotland. I've never been to Sheffield, but they make cutlery from there :)

:hi:

IIRC to attack a poster.

the "McCain for Messiah" crowd here is, at best, a microscopic multitude.

Please excuse me whilst ah contemplate going to gnaw one of mah feet off.

Do we NEED ANOTHER John McCain thread? He's a Repuke asshole, why can't we just like IGNORE him and the topic of him? Could we just try that...for once...purty please?

On Edit: Spelling error.

when he said that. says something about the man, that is for sure, that he would make a crack like that to a bunch of adults, about a teenager at the time

Cause she's quite pretty now. Even if she weren't, it's a horrid thing to say.
McCain is nauseating. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw his pasty ass.

Do you have some links to some posts or threads showing this "giddiness?"

Watching a lotta Fauxnews, are we?

And it's over only one particular issue.

but he's dangerous. Lots of Democratic leaning people like him. They think he's independent, which might be true to some degree. However, he is absolutely no liberal

Keating Five Johnny? Puh-LEEEZE...

If I had to pick a Repub, it'd be Dr. Ron Paul, George Voinovich or even John Warner.

the ONLY thing he has done it stand up to Bush on torture. But that does not change his 99.9% of the time Bush ass kissing.

Just watch. They will run "the well-respected" and "maverick" McCain in '08. His "maverick" status will allow him to distance himself from bush's numerous failures. If anyone is wondering why McCain has willingly been eating shit for the past 5 years, this is why. It's all a farce and a sham.

Hard core righties don't like him, though... so they'll need independents and misinformed Dems to get him in office.

That is why we must get the word out!!

Here is what happened to me on another thread for saying bad stuff about McCain......

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=1965851&mesg_id=1965916

The BFEE just use McCain like the cheap whore that he is...Junior turns up in McCain's vacinity and McCain IMMEDIATELY puts his kneepads on and goes down as FAST as a two dollar whore.

McCain in 2008 will be 72 and he's already in bad health now, repeated blow-up's on his face of skin cancer.

He ain't going NOWHERE trust me...but I'd still destroy him, because I DETEST him.

Doll and the word Moll. Okay :) Try not to feed it.

will stop overnight. That bloviating doper will pretend as if he never trashed him as he begins to tout McCain as the candidate who will save America from the terrorists and the liberals.
That is their game plan.

Then Bush and company basically pissed all over his reputation. And well after Bush did that, McCain started to suck back up to BushCo. That is when I lost respect...He has no backbone.

:puke:

Low down on Dubya's part on that one.

Leave it to Pubbies to go after your children, even if you are one of them.

Not that McCain is any better, as you saw.

The VietCong were too soft on him. He is a rat bastard, and deserving of the harshest scorn.

John McCain, Hypocrite
by Doug Ireland

John McCain, the media's darling, has found a clever way around his own campaign finance reform law to take big corporate bucks in furtherance of his political ambitions while carrying water for the corporate mammoth providing the dough. But the national press is ignoring the story.


The Associated Press first ran the story of John McCain's odorous but lucrative Senatorial service to the communications giant Cablevision on the afternoon of March 7. But, while some local papers in McCain's home state (like the East Valley Tribune) have run the story, nothing has as yet made it into the print editions of the New York Times, the L.A. Times, the Washington Post, or any of the half-dozen other big city dailies I checked (although, if one searches the hundreds of AP stories available on the Post's website on its Politics page by clicking on "Latest Wire Reports," one can find it there--but how many readers would bother to do that?) One notable exception: the Kansas City Star.


Here's what the AP's investigation found:


McCain repeatedly intervened on behalf of a policy Cablevision favored -- one which "congressional and private studies conclude could make cable more expensive" -- while his chief political adviser, Rick Davis (who's masterminding McCain's probable '08 presidential rerun) solicited $200,000 in contributions from Cablevision to an institute that promotes McCain and pays Davis a $110,000 annual salary.


The Reform Institute was set up to promote McCain and his issues--especially campaign finance reform, embodied in the famous McCain-Feingold law. This Institute is "a tax-exempt group that touts McCain's views and has showcased him at events since his unsuccessful 2000 presidential campaign," and it "often uses the senator's name in press releases and fund-raising letters and includes him at press conferences," the AP says. And, of course, it provides a cushy sinecure with no heavy lifting for McCain's main man, Davis, as he prepares the pontificating Senator's next presidential run. Cablevision's contributions account for a whopping 15% of the Institute's budget.

** I am going to post this for a few months everytime I see McCain's name on DU.

some feel "he'll change"

Sorry-- he won't he's spineless and hypocritical..

Democrats, but, given his history with Bush* (dirty tricks, SC presidential primary 2000) and his harsh criticism of this administration, I just cannot figure out any reason why he continues to support Bush*. He has no reason to, unless he is doing so for party reasons, but that is not only hypocritical, but also defeating, since his own party is turning against Bush*, any of them with any sense or conscience, that is. So I've wondered what was up with McCain, myself. He's done a lot that is good, and has worked well with John Kerry. He must realize what a liability that Bush* really is, so I don't get it, either... :shrug:

I haven't seen it myself but that might explain any liberal's support of him. "Opportunistic Whore," a phrase someone used earlier, really is the best way to describe him. Living in AZ, I just have to laugh at anyone on either side who could take him seriously as a candidate.

I have no respect for him...to suck up to and kiss the arse of Bush after S. Carolina...the man has no principles.

Yes, old Chuck has spoken out against the Iraq war, but he has a 100% rating from the Christian Coalition and 0% for NARAL.
