McCain’s moderate stance on illegal immigrants??? His stance is out of touch with close to 80% of the American people

[CzarNicky]

If the Republicans wanted to play “Ode to Joy” they’d get a call from someone claiming to be Beethoven to knock it off.

[Slump Tester]

Playing Abba would be more reason not to vote for this a-hole.

[G8 Diplomat]

At first, cursory glance at the title, I was wondering when Mahmud Abbas decided to run for president.

[AIM-54]

Theme songs.

It makes me wonder. How long can such an unserious nation last?

[Alter Kaker]

"SLICHA???"

[Fido969]

“Take a Chance on Me” as a campaign song?

Sheese.

[JRochelle]

Fernando or Chiquitita would be more appropriate for McCain.

Gimme Gimme Gimme a Man After Midnight, for Hillary.

I Have a Dream or We’re all Following the Pied Piper, for Obama.

[oblomov]

Maybe Ides of March can tour with him. All the kids love the funk-rock sound of “Vehicle”.

[CzarNicky]

What’s next John, the Pina Colada song?

The only thing worse than having an affair with John McCain would be realizing I was married to him while having an affair with him.

Weird Al has a song called “you’re sort of everything I ever wanted.” Maybe McCain can use that. Switch the gender and make it about voting instead of romance, and conservatives could relate in their feelings about McCain:

“Oh, I couldn’t live a single day without you
Actually, on second thought, well, I suppose I could
Anyway, what I’m trying to say is, honey, you’re the greatest
Well, at any rate, I guess you’re...pretty good

Now, it seems to me I’m relatively lucky
I know I probably couldn’t ask for too much more
I honestly can say you’re an above-average lady
You’re almost just what I’ve been looking for

You’re sort of everything I ever wanted
You’re not perfect, but I love you anyhow
You’re the woman that I’ve always dreamed of
Well, not really...but you’re good enough for now

You’re pretty close to what I’ve always hoped for
That’s why my love for you is fairly strong
And I swear I’m never gonna leave you, darlin’
At least ‘til something better comes along

‘Cause you’re sort of everything I ever wanted
You’re not perfect, but I love you anyhow
You’re the woman that I’ve always dreamed of
Well, not really...but you’re good enough for now
No, not really...but you’re good enough for now”

[FR Class of 1998]

Maybe he can get something appropriate from Led Zeppelin.

[MBB1984]

If McCain selects Graham or Crist as his running mate, the appropriate song for them would be “Dancing Queen.”

That's the media's definition of moderate.

[puroresu]

How about Waterloo?

[iowamark]

His daughter Meghan posts regular playlists on her blog. He should let her handle the music:

[holymoly]

he opted against playing the 1977 hit "Take a Chance on Me"

John McCain prefers "Everybody Loves A Clown", by Gary Lewis and the Playboys.

"They all laugh when they say me coming,
But you don’t laugh; you just go home running.

Everybody loves a clown, so why can’t you?
A clown has feelings too."

[isrul]

Maybe the Abba song, "Fernando" would be more appropriate. Or maybe their tome to the UN "I Have a Dream". That's a tune any moderate could love. Or "The Winner Takes it All"; a song appropriate for "me too" Republicans day after election.

No I'm not a fan. But those gals were so yummy looking.
