McCain wants Kerry to stop looking ahead

[wicket]

Oh SHUT UP McCain :eyes:

http://news.bostonherald.com/politics/view.bg?articleid=81928

Straight-talking Sen. John McCain wants his friend Sen. John Kerry to ice his ``obvious'' desire to run for president again and focus on his day job. ``It's pretty obvious, the way he's acting, he'd like to try it again,'' the Arizona Republican said of a 2008 Kerry bid.

``I'd advise him to be the best senator he could be and put those ambitions aside for a while.'' McCain said he ``absolutely'' wants to be president himself but will focus on the Senate and ``wait a couple years'' to decide on a 2008 run.

Assessing Kerry's odds in the June issue of Men's Journal, McCain said, ``I think it would be difficult for John, for the same reason it's hard for all candidates who don't succeed.''

He said he spurned Kerry's overtures last year to become his running mate. While the position ``was never officially offered,'' McCain said they discussed it during ``three chats'' despite his being ``not interested from the beginning.'' Asked why Kerry continued to pursue him, McCain said, ``You'll have to ask him that.'' McCain, who campaigned for President Bush last year, praised GOP efforts but added, ``I also don't think Kerry ran a very good race . . . At the Democratic convention, I can't tell you anything they did besides say, `Reporting for duty.' ''

[rocktivity]

1. Rocknation wants McCain to take a flying leap!

:headbang:
rocknation

[DemBeans]

42. here's my favorite part...

"I think it would be difficult for John, for the same reason it's hard for all candidates who don't succeed."

Wasn't McCain himself a candidate who didn't succeed in 2000? It's amazing how quickly they can rewrite their own histories, while using the same history against someone else.

A whore of the highest magnitude...disgusting.

[hatrack]

2. Go hug the Chimp, asshole!

Fuck you, John.

On edit: John McCain, that is!

[harpo]

69. yeah fuck you piece of shit McCain...go hug your war mongerer!!!

[Art_from_Ark]

73. You mean, like this?

[NoPasaran]

3. Thanks for the free advice, John

Isn't there some bottomless pit you can fall into?

[catnhatnh]

4. Yep, I'm lookin' ahead...

...but that DEMOCRATIC fella ought to quit it....

[emulatorloo]

5. Kerry is working his butt off in the Senate; McCain is kissing Bush's butt

in the Senate.

Somebody tell McCain to take his own advice.

[insane_cratic_gal]

58. But, but McCain is addressing the serious

steroid issue in baseball!!!!

[mod mom]

65. Why doesn't McCain, Chairman of Indian Affairs, go after Delay for his

part in bilking Native Americans in Texas out of 82 million?

[sniffa]

6. Lemme get this straight

kerry is attacked for having done nothing in his senate career (not true, but we can't expect the media to do its job).

now that he's making noise in the senate, mccain wants him to be quiet.

fuck him. how dare he!?

[Bouncy Ball]

7. Oh my God, he's such a liar.

Why am I even slightly surprised to see him lying?

First of all, if McCain IS looking at a run in 2008, he is NOT waiting on the sidelines for a couple of years. I can guarantee you he is doing a LOT of preparation for that.

Secondly, this whole thing reads like a catty girl fight. McCain sounds supremely jealous of Kerry.

And third, this whole Kerry asking him to be his running mate stuff is a bunch of crap. McCain sounds like he has a MAJOR case of sour grapes! :rofl:

Hey McCain, kiss all our asses, ok? Go get over yourself.

[NYC Liberal]

8. A Republican giving a Dem campaign advice?

I'm sure McCain has the best of intentions for his potential opponent :eyes:

[WI_DEM]

9. it seems to me he has been tending to his day job

or perhaps McCain hasn't been noticing with all the self serving interviews and fund raisers he has been attending.

[Robworld]

10. I never understood why people hold McCain in such high regards

The 2004 elections proved that he is just another party line toting politician.

http://www.dumdumgoestothecircus.com/

[bunkerbuster1]

45. Only two reasons I can think of

1) He (alone) was willing to harshly criticize the religious right's influence in the Republican party during his 2000 primary run; and

2) He made a decent show of being outraged at the way GA Sen. Max Cleland was treated by the reThug machine in 2002.

That's about it. When he, a POW who was tortured, said nothing to stop Alberto Gonzolez's appointment, what little respect I ever had for McCain trickled to next to nothing.

[autorank]

11. From the guy who let Bush slander his wife and child. What a man!

[displacedtexan]

12. McCain can bite my ass!

Beware the cuddly-looking snakes in the grass!

[still_one]

13. mccain, go kiss bush's ass, and stay away from the democrats

see if you can take more bribes from keating

let * insult your wife and child in the 2000 campaign, then support him in 2004

you are an insignificant insect who helped propell this administration to where it is today

you are so much for sending more troops to iraq, i think you should be the first to go you idiot

[AlCzervik]

14. I wish McCain would stop kissing Bush's ass

but thats not gonna happen. McCain, worry about yourself.

[Gyre]

15. chimpy punked him in 2000

and I guess he fell in love. But that would be consistant with his military background where when you get fucked by a "superior" you're programmed to say "thank you sir, may I have another?"

Too bad McCain's such a lame little twit. Some of us thought he was actually a man for a very short while.

Gyre

[freedom_to_read]

Bo Herald is an utter crap rag

[Mass]

16. He agrees with some DUers on that as far as I can see

Why are they protesting?

[ohtransplant]

17. Sounds like the race is on!

While McCain has his hands tied by his undying (enforced) allegiance to *, JK works his tail off in the Senate and puts forth his agenda as "President in exile". Would you like cheese with that whine Senator McCain?

This could be a preview to 2008.

[wicket]

21. McCain is trying to clear the field for himself

All that matters to McCain is McCain.

[librechik]

23. McCain isn't running for president, so stop saying that!

:rofl:

[wicket]

24. LOL!

:D

[Mass]

26. Of course, he is\nt

[blm]

18. JK's following through on his reforms while McCain kisses Bush ass for

Bush's blessings when McCain runs again.

I'd rather have Kerry following up on his campaign wishes for the working class and the poor in this country as much as he can from the Senate for the next four years, and NOT act like McCain who kisses Bushass for four years and can't seem to find his soul anymore.

News flash for McCain: You will not find your soul up George Bush's ass, so I advise you crawl out of there. You REALLY SMELL.

[NNN0LHI]

19. NNN0LHI wants McCain to eat shit and STFU n/t

[Roland99]

20. Screw Mr. Bi-Polar Poster Child

Kerry's been doing one helluva job here of late! I've been very impressed with his actions as Senator.

[carnie_sf]

22. McCain is such a whore

[kath]

37. he is the epitome of the word whore. What a total fucking asshole. And

yet, people here thought he would be a good running mate for JK, and I've heard Dems say they would vote for McCain himself for Pres. What the fuckity-fuck?!?! The man's quite conservative, and a major-league opportunistic whore. Makes me sick...

[carnie_sf]

55. But kath

tell us how you really feel.

[dandrhesse]

25. John McCain is an idiot sell-out. I think his should think about being a

Senator with a shred of conscience before he worrying about anything that anyone else is doing. The gall of him to say anything about Kerry tells you all you need to know, obviously he has an ego as big as the great outdoors. What a slime ball.:puke:

[bumblebee1]

68. An ego as big as the great outdoors?

How about an ego as big as the Grand Canyon. Incidentally, the Grand Canyon is in McCain's backyard.

[redqueen]

27. Um, hello pot? This is kettle... you are black. Repeat... you are black.

UnfrickinREAL this guy!

Yeah, run again, you loser. I wanna see the next contender rake your family over the coals then watch you kiss their rings later on, too.

You spineless coward... hard to believe you were ever the man you once were. Wonder how it feels to have sunk so very low.

Has Kerry denied McCain's claims about these 'chats'?

[Rainscents]

28. Didn't McCain voted down vet's bill recently and Kerry voted for it???

McCain need to take a good look at his own work before opening his fat mouth!!!

[bunny planet]

29. Mind your own business Mr. Poodle and go back to humping Georgie's

leg.

[Neshanic]

30. Kerry and McCain should just get married and get over it.

Geeez. They morph into one and the other like some bad Sci-Fi movie.

They have some love/hate thing and should just hook up and shut up.

McCain could still get a bit o' monkey on the side.

[Mass]

31. Happy to see one honest person here.

[wicket]

40. huh?

So does that mean the rest of us are dishonest?

[Mass]

41. not all but some yes

There is nothing here that some people on DU have not said, so in all logic there should be people here agreeing with McCain. Obviously there are none.

[emulatorloo]

47. Half the time DU whines that Dems aren't doing anything to oppose Bush

the other half they whine because Kerry won't stop doing things . . . .

[BlueIris]

32. Never thought I'd post this, but: Please shut up, Senator McCain.

GodDAMN. Now, we really ARE in an alternate reality. And a pile of my respect for McCain is gone. Gonna miss that.

[Strawman]

33. f*** McCain

like he's not even worse. Like Kerry's courtship of him was even comparable to his embrace of the very people who personally attacked him and his family and resorted to race baiting to defeat him.

I'm so sick of these ambitious cocksucker politicians. I'd love to see a truly reluctant person of integrity be drafted by the people to lead us out of this shithole of a farce that calls itself politics. What's Jimmy Carter doing these days? I'm sure we'll get some phony trying to play that part in 2008.

[JI7]

34. McCain is such a fucking whore

whether Kerry runs for President is something the Democratic Party will decide.

but McCain has made clear he does not like KErry and that KErry is not his friend.and he agreed with the swift boat vet attacks on Kerry. so it's clear he is just being an asshole here. he is no friend of Kerry's . in fact he hates Kerry.

and Kerry is focusing on the Senate. if he would remove his head from Bush's ass he might see it.

[SangamonTaylor]

35. 11 million children without health care in the U.S.

THAT is what Senator Kerry is working on!

Too bad no one is listening...

[confludemocrat]

36. McCain, because you let Bush ream your arsehole in '00...

You're in no position to offer any advice on running a campaign, fuckwad.
That's the line he's taking despite reality: a shitstorm of lies--not distortions--was what Kerry didn't deal well with and neither did McCain in 2000, so there he sits offering a critique like the goddamn hypocrite he is.

[MisterP]

38. Senator Steve Martin!

[leesa]

39. Do these people EVER stop thinking about their careers?

[wildwww2]

43. McCain can go Cheney himself. And then hug a stupid chimp for an encore.

Peace
Wildman
Al Gore is My President

[napi21]

44. You may hate McCain, but he's right on this one.

The majority of people on all sisdes think it's CRAZY to be talking about an election that's 3 1/2 years away! Sure, there are those of us who are so discouraged by the results of 2004, the only bright spot for us is to look forward to when we can change things, but we really are in the minority.

I would think the best thing any potential candidate could do now is to enhance his/her accomplishments now to be able to brag about the good things they were responsible for when it is finally campaign time.

[ginnyinWI]

50. Kerry is not speaking about it

All he will ever say about 2008 is, "It is way too early to think about it. I'm focused on the 2006 elections."

Meanwhile, he is a whirling dervish in the Senate these days, doing the work of the people.

[karynnj]

57. Right KERRY is not talking about 2008

McCain is - disparaging both Kerry running in 2008, and implicitly the work he is doing in the Senate now. As you say, Kerry is a whirling dervish in the Senate now. (So, if this were honestly good ole friendly advise all McCain would have to do is look around on the floor of the Senate - Kerry's real tall and would be easy to find.)

[wishlist]

74. McCain sounds like he is jealous and trying to spoil Kerry's efforts

Sounds to me like McCain is jealous over Kerry's maintaining a positive high profile pushing various programs since the election. McCain has put himself in an unenviable position of being despised by the RW for straddling the fence and not toeing the RW line and being despised by moderates for his RW pandering and sucking up to Bush during the election.

[DesEtoiles]

46. McCain SHUT UP. SHUT UP. SHUT UP-AH.

[demgrrrll]

48. They are worried about his communication via the Internet and do

not want him to establish some kind of government in exile where people are listening and responding to him. Kerry must be making some inroads or they wouldn't trot McCain out to take a jab at him.

[emulatorloo]

49. Very Easy to send Sen McCain a note - MCCAIN WEB CONTACT FORM HERE:

http://mccain.senate.gov/index.cfm?fuseaction=Contact.Home

[Sick_of_Rethuggery]

51. Done:

Senator McCain,

It is really unseemly of you to keep jabbing at Senator Kerry for offering you the Veep spot. Senator Kerry wanted a "Unity" ticket so that he could bring the nation back to sanity after the horrendous divisiveness of your leader(s) -- to take something that was done in such selfless nobility and pervert it into your usual politics-as-war-by-any-means is grotesque.

Stop it right away. You are not half the human being Senator Kerry is (as exemplified by just this one incident), so stop baying at the moon and forfeit what little respect the non-Republican majority of this country has for you.

Sincerely,

[second edition]

52. Thank you for the link!

I wrote a short note to Senator MC Cain. Since when is he an authority on John Kerry and the Democratic party. He didn't even make it past the primaries. What a jerk!!!!

[lancdem]

53. So McCain said he "absolutely" wants to be president

Has he ever said that before?

[wicket]

56. it's the first I've heard of it

He usually waffles on the question.

[marions ghost]

54. Put McCain's engraved plaque over there next to Powell's...

at the Political Potential Squanderers Club... RE :puke:Section

[zulchzulu]

59. Gee John McCain... you still suckin' Chimpy's weeny after all he did to yo

What a shameless tort.

[jbnow]

60. Maybe Kerry is motivated by a future run

but I don't care. He isn't talking about it. He is doing what a good Senator should be doing...speaking out, taking action, following through on things he campaigned on.

He was a good Senator before...but more behind the scenes and you had to work to find out what he was doing as Senator, what he really said about things they used against him. (I agree it was not the best campaign, there was so much more he could have said and said better) He is more public in his actions now. But this is a time we need people speaking out. Would he be a better senator remaining quiet?

I liked McCain in 2000, now he is repulsive to me. Why did he let bush use him, knowing what bush was? He should shut up.

[yorkiemommie1]

61. " I don't think Kerry ran a very good race "

uuuhhhh did you SEE the crowds he drew??? despite the media being full-tilt against him. despite the liars and the sneaks and the rw fundie churches.

" at the Democratic convention, I can't tell you anything they did besides say, " Reporting for duty.'


here's what i remember of the GOP convention: bandaids on fingers and
Zell MILLER!

how does it feel to have sold your soul to the devil, McCain?

and lemme add one thing: there is a fundie bitch who is attacking my Adult daughter and i am making my presence known in her defense ( ie; my daughter is not after your husband who is old enough to be her daddy ) My point, MR. MCCain is that you never defended your LITTLE daughter and wife!

so, you sanctimonius prick, shut the hell up!

67. I Used to Have Some Respect for Senator McCain

but no more. As for the Democratic convention, I felt a heck of lot better listening to President Clinton, Senator Edwards and Senator Kerry then listening to how W saved the world and healed the nation by throwing out the first pitch at a baseball game.

McCain says he 'absolutely' wants to lead country

WASHINGTON - Sen. John McCain says that he "absolutely" wants to be president and that he is qualified for the job but that he is focused on his Senate duties and will "wait a couple of years" to decide about a White House bid in 2008.

"I have the luxury of being able to wait because I don't have to lay any of the groundwork. I don't have to go meet all of the state party chairmen - I've done that before," McCain says in the June issue of Men's Journal magazine, due Tuesday on newsstands.

The Arizona Republican also discusses his battle with melanoma, a potentially fatal form of skin cancer, and describes his health as fine.

"I just came from my dermatologist yesterday with a clean bill of health. I get examined every three months, because once you've had a melanoma, the likelihood of another one is greatly increased," McCain said. "Most normal Americans have to go once a year; I go every three months. And once in awhile, they find something somewhere on my body, and they cut it off."
