Best Freeper reactions to McCain reconsidering re-election

Click at your own risk

We should have given in to Hanoi’s demands and paid what they demanded to keep him.


Actually, this is GREAT NEWS!!!
Him and Christie, and the rest of the RINOS, can then SPLIT the RINO VOTE, and all the real conservatives can galvanize behind the real "conservative" PEOPLE'S candidate...TED CRUZ - 2016!


(Uhh, where are your natural-born citizen concerns now?)

I would LOVE to hear the phone call in 2016 when he calls up Sarah Palin again and says :
“Hi Sarah, this is John, long time no see. Hey I been needing to ask you another favor, I got this primary challenger whose a real pain, could ya help me out with your old ‘common sense real conservative’ speech again? I loved you at the war memorial BTW, saw it on the news. I couldnt join you cos I was tied up in the Senate at the time working on....... well never mind that....”

LOL

“John who??”


Maybe we’d better pray and start asking the Lord to bring someone with integrity into the race to oppose him. Don’t see anyone right now...


Straight outta the Rick Perry playbook.

I’m seriously thinking of sending money to his Democrat opponent if we can’t stop Mr. McCain in the primary.


Ever notice the communists never seem to want to retire. They work until they die, never having enjoyed the (ill-gotten) millions they’ve acquired over the years.

Look at all the old foggies who won’t quit - David Letterman, the late Ted Kennedy, Bob Scheiffer (CBS News), Arlen Spector, etc.

You can avoid hell only so long, Juan.


The Tea Party needs to be loud and clear, not to McCain, but to his cronies and backers that if McCain runs again, they will fully support a Democrat who runs against him. And they must mean it.

Seriously, a first term Democrat would be better than this saboteur and enemy among us. It would even be worth losing a senate seat to see him forced to retire.

He has been rebuked by the AZ Republican party, and he just shrugged it off. He is perhaps the biggest remaining obstacle to the conservative agenda, and if he remains in the senate he will use every foul trick he knows to destroy conservatism.

As soon as he announces, the Tea Party must announce they will fully support whatever candidate the Democrats put forward. Their greed is such that they will take up the offer.

It will be useless to run a Republican primary candidate against him, because he will ruin the life of whoever stands against him. He will ruin their business, he will hurt their family, as ruthlessly as he can.

So it will be a choice between him or a Democrat. And the Democrat can do less harm.

Talk about a word losing all meaning. I guess to them it simply means someone they don't like at some point or another.

2. Freepers think communists "work until they die?"

Didn't they always insist communists never work and expect everything for free?

Then, again, why am I expecting consistency from idiots? Never mind.

6. Freepers galvanize behind one candidate? That's a laugh

Or rather they can, but it'll be a different candidate every week, like last time. Like the old saw goes, the problem with far-right politics is that everybody wants to be fuhrer.

I'm assuming the vast majority of them voted FOR McCain/Failin' in 2008 ... but now suddenly he's a communist with no integrity?

My head hurts.

Must be a group hate site or something.


j/k. You'd think I wasn't joking though, right?
