How I Work

John McCain
U.S. Senator (R-Arizona)

EXCERPT

You lose battles in politics. I do get good and angry. Really angry! By God, I'm not going to let them beat me again. I don't like to lose. After the 2000 race for the presidential nomination, I spent at least ten days -- and in many ways it was the most wonderful experience of my life -- wallowing in self-pity. It was really fun. Freeing.

Then I just woke up and said it was time to get over this. The people you represent don't want you this way. You're still their Senator. And besides, America doesn't like sore losers. I also don't hold grudges. It's a waste of time. What's the point? Frankly, the sweetest revenge is success.

McCain isn't playing with a full deck.

He doesn't have both oars in the water.

He's about three bricks shy of a load.

And he got this horrible bill passed.

What does that say about our reps who voted for his bill?

The people you supposedly "represent" here in AZ want you out of office!!

He will lose AZ in '08 if he runs for president.

We blew our chance in '04 to oust him, because no one who had half a name ran against him. We are cursed, like he's "our Kennedy."

Dear FReepers: On behalf of Arizona, WE'RE SORRY, USA!
