Sen. John McCain Announces He's Running for 6th Term
ABC News ^ | April 7, 2015

U.S. Sen. John McCain has announced he will run for re-election in 2016.

The Arizona Republican made the announcement to run for a sixth term on Monday in an interview with NBC News.

McCain uses his position as chairman to criticize President Barack Obama on national security.

"I have never been more concerned about the security of this nation because of the feckless leadership of the president of the United States," he said.

McCain, 78, will be 80 by Election Day, but he said his Senate career is "just getting started."

Please Arizona tell me you have someone standing by to beat this idiot. He is WAY past his use by date.

Just returned from visiting family in AZ. My response to this news was “you have got to be kidding.” Sadly, he is a virtual shoo-in.

I wonder if he will roll out Sarah yet again to tell everyone he is a conservative and to vote for him again?

If I were McInsane, the word “feckless” is not one I’d be using to characterize someone else.

Hmmm....so, what he's saying is that sanity is transient and CRAZY goes on forever?

Oh won’t it be grand in the general election with McCain desperately grabbing for the coat tails of “Whacko Bird”?

I don't think so this time.
I visit and travel in AZ and he is not liked at all and openly mocked by numerous business colleagues and my retired relatives.
He can be stopped but the conservatives need a decent champion.
Its a sham the new AG did not run against him.
I think 2016 will be a huge anti DC establishment election cycle.. But ya never know.

I’m pretty sure that when Cruz/Walker is elected president, McCain will become more conservative. People like him tend to go with the flow, or are easily put into their place. A strong republican president will put an end to John “maverick” McCain.

I remember that McCain was a bit of a team player when Reagan was president.

There are still women to rape and enslave?

There are still new Islamic terrorist groups to weaponize?

There is still a NEED for McCain to coverup treason?

It’s time for an expiration date on incumbent Senators.

Yep, he probably supported the amnesty back then as well.

So now we get the tough talking MCLame until November 2016? No thanks.

And John, if you’re worried about our security, why don’t you “build the danged fence?”

Let’s hope Sarah Palin finally refuses to endorse or support this pro-amnesty RINO traitor. Being a POW does NOT give one a lifetime free pass to destroy America.

3 people are thrilled.

John — it keeps him busy.

Cindy — it keeps him busy and out of the house.

Megan — it keeps her relevant — to the media.

“I have never been more concerned about the security of this nation because of the feckless leadership of the president of the United States,” he said.

Says the Senator who also stated, in the middle of the 2008 campaign, that barack obama would make a fine president.
