This guy could crash planes in the darndest places he wasn't supposed to be. Thankfully, he did have the drinking, hell-raising and partying part of the flying thing down pretty well, though. Although it's a darn shame he got shot down in his A4, I claim the commies inadvertently saved us a fortune in the planes John would have otherwise wrecked.
He was an ACE, though. With 5 planes downed ... all ours. Whateva!
“A staunch conservative”? Does John McCain really think Arizona’s voters are stupid enough to believe this bald-faced lie??? I would be laughing my assets off if he weren’t deluded enough to believe his own spin.
Thanks AuntB.
I’m done with RINOs. They’re either purged from the party, or I am.
No tolerance for those who consort with the enemy and call it “reaching across the aisle”.
Too much is at stake.
I can't quite get to where you are but I understand what you are saying. Just like BamBamKennedy I do not think lord McCain writes his own material. Somebody really needs to do an intervention and tell him the wheel has turned and it is time for him to gooooo.
Hey John, how do you defend something that doesn’t exist?
No good would have come from a McCain presidency, especially with a democrat supermajority. It would have been a nightmare. And he’d be waving the US flag to get us to fall in line behind all his socialist deals with democrats, all while unemployment and the debt rose with Republicans continuing to get blamed .
It would've cut off the GOP Congressional minority at the knees.
Aside from his pet projects ("pork"), McCain would've gone along with every Democrat initiative in the interest of "bi-partisanship". And the GOP minority would've been reduced to standing helplessly on the sidelines.
Recall that he voted for TARP. And cap & trade was one of McCain's campaign issues.
Sure, we'd be better off than having to endure Obama's malevolent reign. But the Republican party may not have survived.
What conservativism?
But BamBamKennedy won and everything is still the fault of George Bush. Theoretically I do not disagree with you but to utter the words comes very hard.
You cannot have missed it. Yes, Democrats still blame Bush and will forever but mostly everyone else has forgot about Bush and are pointing fingers at Obama. In fact, the democrats are attacking one another. They are questioning their selection of Obama in 2008 primary.
How about the Tea parties??? Who would they protest under President McCain?
RE :” Theoretically I do not disagree with you but to utter the words comes very hard.”
Then don't say it if it's hard for you, just forget about 2008 and focus on taking down democrats.
” Senator McJerk, how will you determine when the border is secure? Exactly who or what decides?
Senator McJerk, once the border is secure, what will you do with the illegal aliens who are already here?”
Exactly.
Not only did he support and vote for TARP but a couple weeks later after negative news reports came out and the polls showed it very unpopular McCain tried to come out as critical of TARP as if he was against it.
FNC Neil Cavuto (Your World) ripped him for his phoniness before the election, told his his spokesman on the show :”The time for addressing those concerns was before his vote not after.”This is a reason Cavuto is my favorite on FNC. He is not a party first man .
Good post, SOL!
Didn't lord McCain promise to 'name names' of the evil doers on Wall Street? A promise which he never kept. But he did turn the GOP 'big tent' into a TARP.
Look, I was for TARP the way it was explained. Then the funds weren’t spent as soon as they were available, and it immediately became clear that we’d been lied to. Gotta have it today or else, and then they got it and didn’t spend it.
Okay, I was suckered. I’ll admit it and take my lumps for being one.
When McCain says that, he fails to mention he was briefed on all that was taking place. He had inside information the general public didn’t. He voted for the damned thing anyway. And now he claims he was misled.
Isn’t this supposed to be the guy whose been there a long time and knows all the ropes? Of course he is.
He’s just an opportunist ass, who is a consummate Leftist. And he never takes ownership for anything he has done.
BTW, your comments about Cavuto were good. I agree. He’s not timid about calling our elected officials on stuff. That’s what the media is supposed to do, even if they are Leftists.
There is no 'only'. If Obama is the disease, McCain was not the cure.
McCain could have been worse:
McCain on Sunday’s [Aug 23, 2009] “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” said he missed Kennedy on the Hill and called his absence a huge loss for health care negotiations in Congress.
“No person in that institution is indispensable, but Ted Kennedy comes as close to being indispensable as any individual I’ve ever known in the Senate because he had a unique way of sitting down with the parties at a table and making the right concessions, which really are the essence of successful negotiations,” McCain said Sunday.

Not me, At the time I saw it would be taken as a moral precedent for the federal government taking over all businesses in emergency conditions, and I was right. On MSNBC now they are saying, “If the government can take over banks to bailout rich bankers; why can't it take over BP for this emergency?”.
I also knew Obama would be president and he would get the money. Many here lived in the delusion that McCain would win and TARP could save him.
