This doddering old senile fool tells an opponent of this new wetback bill.. F-u-c-k You.

This finishes him as a serious contender for the GOP nomination. Not that he had a chance at it anyway, But his dementia will not allow him to see the obvious and he will plug on continuing to make a fool of himself.....

Yeah this guy is nuts. I hate him and hope he encourages armed rebellion.

I didn't read every article, but which one are you talking about concerning McCain? It seemed largely to be about Craig. ??
Gore_Lost
Many people don't realize that McCain was in the stall on the other side of Craig.

He doesn't seem to be going away. I think he is sticking around in the debates and such because of some of the softer, uneven stances of some of the front runners. It makes it easy for him to "look good."

THE

MCCAIN WAY
ATTACK REPUBLICANS
A Top 10 List…


Defending His Amnesty Bill, Sen. McCain Lost His Temper And “Screamed, ‘F*ck You!’ At Texas Sen. John Cornyn” (R-TX). “Presidential hopeful John McCain - who has been dogged for years by questions about his volcanic temper - erupted in an angry, profanity-laced tirade at a fellow Republican senator, sources told The Post yesterday. In a heated dispute over immigration-law overhaul, McCain screamed, ‘F— you!’ at Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who had been raising concerns about the legislation. ‘This is chickens—stuff,’ McCain snapped at Cornyn, according to several people in the room off the Senate floor Thursday. ‘You’ve always been against this bill, and you’re just trying to derail it.’” (Charles Hurt, “Raising McCain,” New York Post, 5/19/07)
In 2000, Sen. McCain Ran An Attack Ad Comparing Then-Gov. George W. Bush To Bill Clinton. SEN. MCCAIN: “I guess it was bound to happen. Governor Bush’s campaign is getting desperate, with a negative ad about me. The fact is, I’ll use the surplus money to fix Social Security, cut your taxes and pay down the debt. Governor Bush uses all of the surplus for tax cuts, with not one new penny for Social Security or the debt. His ad twists the truth like Clinton. We’re all pretty tired of that. As president, I’ll be conservative and always tell you the truth. No matter what.” (McCain 2000, Campaign Ad, 2/9/00; www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHoXkCprdL4)
Sen. McCain Repeatedly Called Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) An “A**hole”, Causing A Fellow GOP Senator To Say, “I Didn’t Want This Guy Anywhere Near A Trigger.” “Why can’t McCain win the votes of his own colleagues? To explain, a Republican senator tells this story: at a GOP meeting last fall, McCain erupted out of the blue at the respected Budget Committee chairman, Pete Domenici, saying, ‘Only an a–hole would put together a budget like this.’ Offended, Domenici stood up and gave a dignified, restrained speech about how in all his years in the Senate, through many heated debates, no one had ever called him that. Another senator might have taken the moment to check his temper. But McCain went on: ‘I wouldn’t call you an a–hole unless you really were an a–hole.’ The Republican senator witnessing the scene had considered supporting McCain for president, but changed his mind. ‘I decided,’ the senator told Newsweek, ‘I didn’t want this guy anywhere near a trigger.’” (Evan Thomas, et al., “Senator Hothead,” Newsweek, 2/21/00)
Sen. McCain Had A Heated Exchange With Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) And Called Him A “F*cking Jerk.” “Senators are not used to having their intelligence or integrity challenged by another senator. ‘Are you calling me stupid?’ Sen. Chuck Grassley once inquired during a debate with McCain over the fate of the Vietnam MIAs, according to a source who was present. ‘No,’ replied McCain, ‘I’m calling you a f—ing jerk!’ (Grassley and McCain had no comment.)” (Evan Thomas, et al., “Senator Hothead,” Newsweek, 2/21/00)
In 1995, Sen. McCain Had A “Scuffle” With 92-Year-Old Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-SC) On The Senate Floor. “In January 1995, McCain was midway through an opening statement at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing when chairman Strom Thurmond asked, ‘Is the senator about through?’ McCain glared at Thurmond, thanked him for his ‘courtesy’ (translation: buzz off), and continued on. McCain later confronted Thurmond on the Senate floor. A scuffle ensued, and the two didn’t part friends.” (Harry Jaffe, “Senator Hothead,” The Washingtonian, 2/97)
Sen. McCain Accused Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Of The “Most Egregious Incident” Of Corruption He Had Seen In The Senate. “It escalated when McCain reiterated the charges Oct. 10 in a cross-examination, calling McConnell’s actions the ‘most egregious incident’ demonstrating the appearance of corruption he has ever seen in his Senate career.” (Amy Keller, “Attacks Escalate In Depositions,” Roll Call, 10/21/02)
Sen. McCain Attacked Christian Leaders And Republicans In A Blistering Speech During The 2000 Campaign. MCCAIN: “Unfortunately, Governor Bush is a Pat Robertson Republican who will lose to Al Gore. … The political tactics of division and slander are not our values… They are corrupting influences on religion and politics, and those who practice them in the name of religion or in the name of the Republican Party or in the name of America shame our faith, our party and our country. Neither party should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of American politics and the agents of intolerance, whether they be Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton on the left, or Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell on the right.” (Sen. John McCain, Remarks,

Virginia Beach, VA, 2/28/00)
Sen. McCain Attacked Vice President Cheney. MCCAIN: “The president listened too much to the Vice President . . . Of course, the president bears the ultimate responsibility, but he was very badly served by both the Vice President and, most of all, the Secretary of Defense.” (Roger Simon, “McCain Bashes Cheney Over Iraq Policy,” The Politico, 1/24/07)
Celebrating His First Senate Election In 1986, Sen. McCain Screamed At And Harassed A Young Republican Volunteer. “It was election night 1986, and John McCain had just been elected to the U.S. Senate for the first time. Even so, he was not in a good mood. McCain was yelling at the top of his lungs and poking the chest of a young Republican volunteer who had set up a lectern that was too tall for the 5-foot-9 politician to be seen to advantage, according to a witness to the outburst. ‘Here this poor guy is thinking he has done a good job, and he gets a new butt ripped because McCain didn’t look good on television,’ Jon Hinz told a reporter Thursday. At the time, Hinz was executive director of the Arizona Republican Party. … Hinz said McCain’s treatment of the young campaign worker in 1986 troubled him for years. ‘There were an awful lot of people in the room,’ Hinz recalled. ‘You’d have to stick cotton in your ears not to hear it. He (McCain) was screaming at him, and he was red in the face. It wasn’t right, and I was very upset at him.’” (Kris Mayes and Charles Kelly, “Stories Surface On Senator’s Demeanor,” The Arizona

Republic, 11/5/99)
Sen. McCain “Publicly Abused” Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL). “[McCain] noted his propensity for passion but insisted that he doesn’t ‘insult anybody or fly off the handle or anything like that.’ This is, quite simply, hogwash. McCain often insults people and flies off the handle…. There have been the many times McCain has called reporters ‘liars’ and ‘idiots’ when they have had the audacity to ask him unpleasant, but pertinent, questions. McCain once… publicly abused Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama.” (Editorial, “There’s Something About McCain,” The Austin American-Statesman, 1/24/07)

Hi, Bob. Good to see you.

Among the bunch, I guess I'm hoping for Romney since my two guys (Guililani and Thompson) dropped out. Gag! What a choice..........on either side of the fence. God help us. Please. dry.gif

McCain will probably win against Obama in a general election once the ditto-heads get over themselves. ph34r.gif

Da Carl Rove analysis,

Huck A Fin BEE, needs 83% of ALL remaining delegates to win the Nomination, An't go'in happen. period!

Romney wisely realized he needed 61% if ALL remaining Delgates to win the nomination, he was smart enough to know it was not going to happen, thus highly unlikely his delegates will go to the Mormon desplicer Bible thumper, Huck-A-Fin-Bee.

Thus, like it not, John's the man!

Henceforth paraphrasing in my own tonal vision, he, in essences said, the Alternative to John the so called blasphemer, is BILLHARY'S NANNY-WORD of retreat, tax and spend, or OBAMA-LAMA WORLD, somewhere between Micheal Jackson's Ship wreak, NEVERLAND and CHIRAC-VILLE'S DE-NIAL, adrift in stormy seas, with the crew abandoning ship before the voyage is nary on the way, at the slightest heave oh. Thus adrift, leaving one and all, to man up on his own, in that glorious DREAM WORLD in and of the panic ship OBAMA-"FAIRY"-TELLS.


That is all!!

Now who is exactly the party of change and moral integrity and are they not worried about McCain?

Smear or Be Smeared?

February 8, 2008

The DNC plans "unlimited" spending against McCain; some of its claims are misleading.

Obama v. McCain: Setting the Tone…..obama is right for change...i believe that he will lead this country in the right path instead of jus wat he wants to do.i believe that he listens to the people an goes off of wat we need vs. wat we want.i believe we are headed tward the depression AGAIN and if i'm correct Barack Obama will not only get us out but lead us far away from ever getting in contact with it again.

Very well written post. 020.gif

Perhaps you should get your English teacher to proof-read your posts prior to posting them.

Your use of the English language is as bad as your logic in supporting Obama.
TheAvenger
Well, Obongo is not capable of getting his head out of a barrel of banana's. How would he be capable of getting our country out of a depression? Second of all, very little the president can do will affect if we go into a depression or not. The executive branch is the weakest of all three. Thus, the power he has to stimulate, or retract the economy will be very minimum. You believe he listens to the people? Anyone running for president will listen. Now, there is a difference between listening, and doing. I listen to your subtle little rant about how obongo is our savior. Yet, I am ignoring it. Just like Obongo is ignoring the American people, and pretending to care to get his sorry ##### in the white house.

sundaeGURL
oops sorry guys its just my opinion, glad that i hear from you but on the second thought The word "change" is just a word. Either candidate would constitute a change. For ex: we are all part in our families, yet we all do not have share the same beliefs nor are we identically same. McCain was a democrat not so long ago. Another great ex: when we need someone with true experience due we reach out for someone whom we know nothing about or how they work? We should want the best experienced person to do the job, his name is McCain.
chuckd
I recently received an e-mail concerning the alleged experience of Obama. I haven't had the time or patience to check it out with Snopes but it went something like this:

From the time that Obama was elected to play the role of a US Senator from Illinois until the time he decided he was capable of being the most powerful person on the face of this earth and announced his candidacy for President, the US Senate had been in session a grand total of 143 days. Before that he was a political hack in Illinois.

Now that is a sparkling resume to put forward to become President.

I wouldn't hire the guy to be one of my Contract Administrators with no more experience than that.

Your last post was much more readable. Thank you.

Have you changed from Obama to McCain?
TheAvenger
Is it just me or did I help someone see the light? laugh.gif laugh.gif Don't get me wrong, McCain is not my savior. But, he has way more experience then Obama. The lesser of two evils is what we are getting at this election. It appears a repeat of the Carter years is showing its ugly head currently. One may hope the democrats will stop blocking drilling, but the chances of that are similar to a pig growing wings and flying.

More experience being a toady and reliving his racist days as a prisoner of the gooks (his words). It is time for McCain to fade away. The dead are more experienced too, if you get my drift, fascist.

chuckd, I hope you can do better than that, yourself. Ad hominem attacks on grammar are weaker than telling some guy that his mother still dresses him funny.

However, sundaegurl, chuckd is right. You did not make very strong points in favor of Obama.
