Interesting little story on McCain in today's NY Post (for example, he eats Raisin Bran for breakfast):


ON THE TRAIL: Septuagenarian presidential candidate John McCain joins son Jack for a 30-mile, two-day hike in the Grand Canyon last summer.

“he eats Raisin Bran for breakfast”

I would have guessed Grape Nuts.

Sympathy for The Devil

That was my first thought too!!
The lyrics are an amazingly good fit:

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for long, long years
Stole many man's soul and faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made

I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste

Like I’ve said. You try to interject a positive story and there’s people like you who trash the man to make your point.

I don’t really understand your thought process. You equate Obama with Hillary and McCain as if there is no difference. I think we have a disconnect here...but that’s just my opinion.

We saw some trailers for the new Battlestar Gallactica and decided John McCain needs an eye-patch.

"Everything's fine," McCain told reporters during a news conference. "Like most Americans, I go see my doctor fairly frequently."

BWahahahahahahahahaha, if THIS doesn't show how out of touch he is, nothing will.

I avoid doctors like the plague and so does everyone else in my family.

[SouthernBoyupNorth]

Personally its going to take a lot to convince me hes worth a fart in a wind storm. I will watch and listen. If he fails to convince me he and the republican party can go spit. They wont collect anything but "bush bucks" from me.

[nikos1121]

Yeah, you’re right. Americans can’t afford to see their doctor and avoid them like the plague.

[Just another Joe]

Americans can’t afford to see their doctor

Your words, not mine.

Hi, I'm a John, I mean my name is John. I'm a liberal conservative, I mean a conservative liberal. I mean

My first thought was:

It was twenty years ago today,
Pilot McCain taught the band to play
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile.
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years,
Pilot McCain's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

McCain is still an active member of the US Senate. If he truly wants to “frame the issues for the November election”, he could do it on the Senate floor with legislation he authors that present his positions.

[backtothestreets]

Yeah, as a Senate leader on global warming legislation and carbon credit scams, he is going to challenge the Democratic candidate for one of their constituencies. Al Gore will be comfortable with any of the three leading candidates. Most of America will not.

From McCain's speech on Energy Policy: "I have proposed a bipartisan plan to address the problem of climate change and stimulate the development and use of advanced technologies. It is a market-based approach that would set reasonable caps on carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions, and provide industries with tradable credits."

[gathersnomoss]

He is going to Clinton along and hope that the liberals “stand behind him” and back him 100%. This only about sex. Sex and corruption, abuse of public trust, and possibly funds.

If I were a New Yorker I would demand his resignation.

I don’t really understand your thought process. You equate Obama with Hillary and McCain as if there is no difference. I think we have a disconnect here...but that’s just my opinion.

You're right. We do have a disconnect. Can you think of one positive reason to vote for John McCain, other than that he MAY be (marginally) not quite as bad as Hillary or Obama?

The guy is wrong on practically every issue that matters, has no understanding of economics, has jumped on the global warming bandwagon, doesn't even remotely understand the issue of illegal immigration, is completely unable to grasp, let alone argue, a principled position on any issue, has basically made clear that he is not going to appoint strict constructionist judges, and would rather die than directly criticize a mainstream Democrat position.

Oh, did I mention that he really hasn't demonstrated that he's all that bright, or that he has any strength as a strategic thinker. Not to mention that he has ZERO executive experience and is therefore by definition unqualified to hold, let alone carry out the responsibilies of, the highest executive office in the US government.

Other than that he's swell.

So OK, maybe he wouldn't quite be the disaster that Hillary or Obama will be. But please don't try to persuade me that he has any serious qualities to recommend him for the office of the Presidency.

Every American family will pay another $2,000 annually thanks to McCain and his dopey carbon credit scam. Just what this country needs - billions stolen to redistribute to european socialists and third world dictators.

Now we will see a recession.

[calcowgirl]

Those $5000 tax credits for healthcare are also gonna hit the pocketbook—and not of those receiving the benefit.

What if the ticket is McCain/Romney?

[SIDENET]

Hi, I’m John McCain. Let’s let bygones be bygones......you nativist piece of crap. LOL

Now, that was funny!

[Maceman]

What if the ticket is McCain/Romney?

If I lived in an important state like Florida, I'd hold my nose and vote for him.

But since I live in Massachusetts, which will go Democrat anyway, it really doesn't matter who I vote for, or even whether I vote at all, in the presidential race.

So I while I will definitely vote for whoever ends up running against John Kerry in the Senate race, I won't be voting for McCain no matter who he runs with.

And by the way, he won't be running with Romney, bet on that.
