John McCain on No GOP Endorsement: 'Lindsey Graham Was My Man'(Not paraphrasing)

Sen. John McCain said Friday that he was not endorsing anyone for the Republican presidential nomination because "Lindsey Graham was my man."

"I'm staying out of this," the Arizona senator and 2008 GOP presidential candidate, told Neil Cavuto on Fox News. Graham, the South Carolina senator, dropped out of the race in December. Asked again about an endorsement, McCain responded: "No, I'm not going to. I like too many of them, to be honest with you."

McCain was questioned about his endorsement because New Hampshire holds its primaries on Tueday. The senator won primary races in the Granite State in 2000, against Texas Gov. George W. Bush, and in 2008.

The senator is featured in a new ad attacking front-runner Donald Trump released this week by Our Principles PAC, which supports rival Jeb Bush.

Amid a bevy of negative comments by Trump since his campaign began last June, the ad includes the developer's bashing of McCain's service during the Vietnam War.

The senator was captured by the Viet Cong and held for nearly six years, including two years in solitary confinement.

Remember the fury when an episode of 'Medium' told the story of a US Senator who had developed a taste for human flesh, while a prisoner of war in Vietnam?

It would be hard to muster that level of outrage now.

He’s thinking if he endorses anyone, he might lose a potential vote in his own reelection attempt. He knows he’s on razor thin ice with his constituents.

This way wherever he goes in the state, he can lie his ass off about who he ‘secretly’ likes based on targeted polling.

Sen. John McCain should marry Sen. Lindsey Graham. They would be a power couple on the DC champagne and caviar circuit. The could hug and kiss and slobber of each other. Both of these slime are disgusting creatures that deserve each other.

McCain has been an embarrassment since the Keating Five.

Maybe they could just ride off into the sunset together and never be heard from again.

Wish you had stayed out of the Senate.

It is really too bad for America that the North Vietnamese ever released this incompetent fool.

Keating Five? Keating Five? What’s that? All the time the old sob was running around the country challenging everybody else’s ethics, he never mentioned Lincoln S&L, his Keating Five bros, or said these words: “I know personally how money corrupts the process, because I was one of those who for many years was on the take!”

That admission would have moved the discussion forward in a positive way. But, when you are an old sob with no ethics like Juan Mac, that just doesn’t get done!

I liked the old "don't ask don't tell" policy better.
