McCain Says He Won't Drop Out [unless he gets a fatal disease]

Sen. John McCain said Friday that only "contracting a fatal disease" will cause him to drop out of the presidential race before the primaries begin, as he vowed to take his campaign directly to the voters of New Hampshire and other early-voting states as a means of compensating for his financial difficulties.

McCain, R-Ariz., told reporters after a speech in Concord, N.H., that he will concentrate more on town-hall meetings and bus-tour campaigning to connect with voters. He vowed to fix the fund-raising woes that have left him with just $2 million in his campaign account, but suggested that money won't be the determining factor in New Hampshire or elsewhere.

"We'll win the same way we almost win in 2000," McCain said. "They know me [in New Hampshire]. They will not go through any other prism but the direct contact I will have with the people of New Hampshire and South Carolina and Iowa, and we'll win."

He doesn’t have to drop out, because the conservative base will do this for him, thanks to his record of subterfuge and deceit. Go home McCain, your sad act is over.

What’s the lump on the side of his face? Is that a Fatal Disease?

Yes, and it's caused by a lifetime of lying and sucking up to liberals. The contaminants he sucked from Ted Kennedy's butt hole were the final blow.

Uh, is he trying to tell us something about his health, without actually coming out and saying it?

You know, McCain could always set up PACs to run negative ads against the other candidates...

Oh, wait. Scratch that.

I would say that it is fatal to his wanting to be president. He's just so over and has been for so long!

I’m no McCain fan but at least he’s not in denial. He admitted his stand on the Immigration “Shamnesty” Bill hurt him badly.

The greatest consolation I have in all of this is that it must be breaking the heart of his lover, Lindsey Graham.

John, you may be an elitist but you are going to die like the rest of us are going to some day.

Thank you for your service for it is greatly appreciated however focus on an agenda for the betterment of our sovereign country and talk less about personal concerns.

Trust me, it will help you with your present directive politically. ; )

Isn’t an overwhelming attraction to T.V. lights and microphones, fatal?
