[mike-zed]

Absolutely sickening. Our nominee, though I will hold my nose and vote for him, disgusts me.

[Abbeville Conservative]

Please John, just STFU!!! I can’t believe I sent this guy money. If not for Sarah.....

[Maelstorm]

He is way too nice but he isn’t running against Al Gore. I’d tap Gore too. Not in a nice way though.

[pissant]

McCain is determined to commit suicide

[Defiant]

Vote for McCain, Hope for Palin

[reagan_fanatic]

I’m starting to wonder if McCain is entirely stable.

[RichInOC]

I have great respect for Al. He’s smarter than Joe Biden.

[TheLawyerFormerlyKnownAsAl]

“I have great respect for Al Gore,” McCain said.

Upon hearing that, Gore observed “He’s even dumber than I’ve thought.”

[presently no screen name]

Don’t get it - he has a great chance on winning because of Sarah - and now he, again, speaks so highly of those ‘across the aisle’.

I’d love to hear what great respect he has for Bush and Cheney. His kiss up is nauseating. Moreso, for a man who claims to have drank too much ice tea as a cover for him speaking truth.

[I_Like_Spam]

McCain seems like he is trying to lose.

The crazy part is that due to the weakness of the Democrat nominee, he just might not succeed.

[tuckrdout]

He is trying to lose. That is all I can figure out.

[TheWasteLand]

Hey John, you’re not helping...

[xDGx]

He is fishing for votes.

That’s what you do in a close election, especially when you are courting Hillary voters who may have a soft spot for Gore.

[TADSLOS]

Too bad McCain doesn’t have any respect for conservatives. I guess he’s fresh out.

[bmwcyle]

To all the McCain supports here. John is an idiot.

[nhwingut]

Firing up the base.

[jersey117]

I’m thinking it’s part of the game. He’s trying to win the independents so that he actually has a shot at this.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

I have great respect for Al Gore.

Just one more reason why I have less and less for you, John.

[stockpirate]

I like what John said Monday on Fox & Friends about why congress needs to pass the bailout bill against the voters wishes.

He said that voters don’t understand the issues as they are too complex. But we understand the issues and know what is the right course.

If McCain keeps moving to the left he will lose the base, Sarah or no Sarah.

I lost respect for him when he voted for the bailout.

[Pan_Yan]

The base that is so excited about Governor Palin is slowly being forced to remember who else is on the ticket, and I'm sure that getdrunkandvote4mccain.com is getting a lot more hits.

[saganite]

McAIN IS A FREAKIN’ IDIOT!!!

His cabinet will consist of Cuomo, Gore and Lieberman among others? I could almost stomach Lieberman but somebody needs to tell John to STFU!!!

[ncalburt]

Give the non stop nit picking a ten minute REST !
What is hs supposed to say, “i hate HIM” !

the over top crying and carrying on about saying something nice by McCain is toxic level now.

Your the same MCCain haters that SCREAM about him having a wild temper too !

[anton]

McKook strikes again.

[Perdogg]

First of all, this story does not have the correct title of the article.

Secondly, all of the McCain haters just seem to have just glossed over this part:

“McCain said the financial crisis would not alter his campaign promises to keep taxes low or to balance the federal budget by 2013.

“We can balance it by 2013 if we get our economy going again and don’t take measures which will harm our economy,” he said. “It depends on whether we have the will to do so or not and restraint of spending is a huge aspect of this.”

The Arizona senator, who often talks about the importance of a strong dollar, said he would do what he could to bolster the U.S. currency but declined to speculate about intervention.

“The first step that has to be taken is obviously we have to stop mortgaging our economy to China ... and asking them to finance our debt,” he said.”

[weegee]

I have no respect for Al Gore Junior. From the PMRC to his back stabbing of Dan Quayle to his defense of Bill Clinton to his claims of no controlling legal authority and a weak bladder to “everything that is down is up” to “I invented the internet” to this whole myth of man made global warming...

I want this foolish college dropout stoner defamed as Senator Joseph McCarthy was wrongfully discredited.

[uglybiker]

I have great respect for Algore, too!

Anybody who can say all the stupid sh*t he does and keep a straight face oughtta be able to clean up at high-stakes poker!

[AuntB]

Some of the people McCain ‘respects’ really bothers me...Kennedy...Clinton....now Gore? The only person in this race who doesn’t live in a politically controlled bubble is Sarah Palin. Or at least she was if they haven’t ruined her already.

[indthkr]

John McCain is trying to build a "big tent" by reaching out (maybe way-out in ALGORE's case) in a statesman-like approach. It's pretty hard to watch him take the shots without throwing any.

After the other guy has thrown everything he has, the question is whether McCain can become Rocky Balboa.....

[bayliving]

Take solice that Sarah is only one heartbeat away from being president if they get elected.

I was not going to vote this year but have changed my mind and now will vote for Sarah Palin.

I think that McCain knows this and is using her to keep us true conservatives in line while he goes after the soft center.

I don't like it but I understand.

[screaminsunshine]

Ku Ku...Ku Ku....Ku Ku’’’

[cubreporter]

Glad to know he does...but I sure don’t. Hope McCain is not gonna turn out to be another Dubya who plays nice all the time and gets slapped down. I wish it was the other way around on the ticket as Palin/McCain.

[TADSLOS]

You would think that he would keep his stupid pie hole shut on the day his CONSERVATIVE running mate is making an all out effort to save his sorry ass.

[maggief]

FGS! Take off the velvet gloves!

[snarkytart]

MCCAIN, PLEASE BE QUIET! YOU ARE LOSING YOUR BASE WITH THIS SH*T!

[Interesting Times]

Hey, what's not to respect?

[Iron Munro]

There are only two reasons any conservative would even think about voting for McCain.

1 - Sarah Palin
2 - He’s not Barack Obama

[Huskrrrr]

DOH!!

[samtheman]

What planet is he from?

What language does he read?

Has he been imprisoned for the past 20 years?

How can he be so oblivious to what’s going on?

[Doogle]

McWuss could've have this all wrapped up a month ago. A strong military If he had addressed the oil... drill here drill now and pay less (which 75% of the American citizen wants) Close the borders and deport illegals (which 70% of what the American citizen wants) Started naming names in the fanniefreddie fiasco BEFORE the meltdown!..(he always claims he fights corruption...this was lay-ed out for him...any FReeper could have pointed out the scumbags responsible for it and had the proof to use it. As soon as he was the Republican candidate he should have stopped all this bipartisan BS! AND ATTACKED....

[evangmlw]

The exact reason he is losing! A refusal to speak and expose the truth. Perhaps he doesn’t know the truth? You cannot respect those who are out to destroy you.

[Ptarmigan]

McCain is really unsettling. Something really bothers me about him.

[FunkyZero]

To me, it doesn't matter now. McCain lost my vote when he voted for this pig bailout bill. I never much liked him to begin with, but he was my alternative. He just proved to me he doesn't have the stones and I am sure as hell not going to reward him with a vote for what he just did to us.

Taxation without representation is the story here, 85% of the public wanted that bill to die and burn. The sob's voted it in anyway. McCain just killed himself off I think.

[fullchroma]

McCain wants too much to be liked. Dangerous quality (but I’ll unhappily vote for him anyway.)

[Doogle]

Rush mentioned a few days ago that Algore lost a bundle when Lehman bit it. Any FReepers know if Algore uses a corporation name to buy and sell shares in Lehman?...it would be interested to see if he “cashed in “ before the collapse......(shuuuush insider....shuuuush...well it could be....)

[Nik Naym]

I am begining to think the man is an idiot.

I am voting for Sarah Palin, and that is the only reason this guy will benefit from my vote.

Good Lord, is this really the best we can do?

[newnhdad]

I can’t believe this is the same guy that used to land jets on carriers.
Gore?

[The Fop]

I hate to say it, but Hillary has more balls than McCain. She fought to the bitter end. She wasn’t afraid to say that she appealed to White voters. She didn’t care that people called her a shameful opportunist when she was throwing back shots of Crown Royal.

And am I the only who is convinced that it was a Hillary supporter way high up at ABC News who decided to air those Rev. Wright videos? I’d bet my life on it. It’s only because of Hillary that the American people got to see those videos. She left no fingerprints, but she was behind it, no question.

There was only so much she could do, seeing as she was appealing to Democrats. But if she were the Republican nominee, believe you me, she would leave no unused bullets in her guns. As opposed to McCain, who will leave warehouses full of stockpiles of WMDs that he should have been detonating against Obama over the past month.

[WorkingClassFilth]

He is what he is - a compromiser with little regard for personal freedom or national integrity. Palin is his perfect camouflage.

[BufordP]

ping

[rabscuttle385]

He said he would involve former Vice President Al Gore in efforts to address the issue. "I would tap him, I would tap people who have been involved in these issues for many years." McCain noted that he disagreed with the Nobel Peace Prize winner about nuclear energy but added, "I have great respect for Al Gore."

This is sickening.
