As compiled by myself… I’m sure you have some of your own. Just a little friendly jab on this Super Tuesday!

10. “The first thing that I would do is call in John Kerry, Bob Kerrey, Joe Biden, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Henry Kissinger, Dick Lugar, Chuck Hagel, and several others and say, ‘We’ve got to get foreign policy, national security issues back on track.’” -When asked the first thing he would do if elected President, 3/00

9. “The issue of economics is not something I’ve understood as well as I should. I’ve got Greenspan’s book.” -12/18/07

8. “It’s not social issues I care about.” -2/3/08

7. “F*ck you! This is chickensh*t stuff.” -to fellow GOP Senator John Cornyn on the Senate floor during an argument about McCain’s amnesty bill, 5/19/07

6. “No, I’m calling you a f*cking jerk.” -to fellow GOP Senator Chuck Grassley, when Grassley asked “Are you calling me stupid?”, 2/21/00

5. “[C]ertainly in the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade, which would then force X number of women in America to undergo illegal and dangerous operations.” -8/24/99, and repeated three other times during the campaign

4. “John Kerry is a very close friend of mine. We’ve been friends for years. Obviously, I would entertain it.” -When asked if he would entertain being Kerry’s VP if asked, 3/10/04

3. “By the way, I think the fence is least effective. But I’ll build the goddamned fence if they want it.” -2/07

2. “I am sure that Senator Clinton would make a good President. I have no doubt that Senator Clinton would make a good President.” -2/20/05

1. “I would rather have a clean government than one where quote First Amendment rights are being respected, that has become corrupt. If I had my choice, I’d rather have the clean government.” -4/29/06

And, a bonus one for free:

“Only an a**hole would put together a budget like this… I wouldn’t call you an a**hole unless you really were an a**hole.” -to Budget Committee Chairman and fellow GOP Senator Pete Domenici in a Senate budget hearing.

I might add a couple more:

“John Kerry is not weak on defense”
“Alito wears conservatism on his sleeve”

The guy is unstable. I’d be concerned if I wasn’t certain that Hillary will beat him like an old tired drum.

Now I’ve got one more thing to resent John McBackstab for: for forcing me to vote for Romney, against my strong preferences.

I am seriously depressed about our choices this year. It looks like Romney is the lesser of two evils, but not by much.

Of course, by the time I get to vote (Texas), the nomination will already be decided. I'd vote in the democRat primary, but can't decide which of them is the lesser evil.

"“I would rather have a clean government than one where quote First Amendment rights are being respected..."

WHY is anyone voting for him?

Foul I can live with...no problem. Patton was foul a lot at times. It's the stupid and resulting hateful part that appears to run clean through to the bone the man. Definitely a distinct character of the liberal elitist mindset.

Sold his soul to the devil already?

John McCain - he knows better than Thomas Jefferson and James Madison and all those other old fogey Founding Fathers!

What other parts of the Constitution does Senator McCain think are worthless?
