I can't help feeling a bit bad for McCain, as much as I dislike him.

[Danger Mouse]

It must suck to be controlled by the fundies that you hate with a burning passion. Can't even run the campaign the way you want to...saddled with a nitwit that you can barely stand to be around.
I guess this is karma. Watching him now is painful. I just want him to take a vacation and get some rest. It's almost cruel. It's like the repukes are taking advantage of him.

1. I have the smallest violin in the world - right here.

Cry me a river.:toast:

[Danger Mouse]

3. Lol, I don't expect many to agree with me.

it's just an impulsive feeling.
i have no sympathy for the republican party...using a senile old man like that.

[opihimoimoi]

2. If ya sleep with dogs ya get fleas....If ya sleep with Fundies...ya get Fantasy

The man is clearly delusional

[Danger Mouse]

4. In over his head and confused...definitely.

[vaberella]

5. Toast a White Russian to him and send him a prayer of thanks. n/t

[kwenu]

6. Yuck! I don't feel the slightest bit bad for him. McCain shouldn't be president.

[Danger Mouse]

11. He shouldn't be president. He should be retiring.

Taking it easy. Enjoying his millions of dollars.

[lapfog_1]

7. You know... I have a feeling...

Maybe the fundies (as rumored, Dobson) DID hold a gun to his head and demand a "Christian values" pick (and Palin was number one on that list)... and McCain put a call in to Rove and asked him about it... and Rove came back (after some quick checking) and told him "Listen John, here is what we do... you pick Palin and she will self destruct in less than a week, then you pick Ridge and BLAME the democrats for the loss of Palin... you'll pick up some sympathy votes from women voters and some from the fundie base... and still get the pick you want."

Diabolical.

[lligrd]

8. Yeah, He'd Of Been Better Off Going WIth His Heart

and picking LIEberman. Wonder if Joe will give him a second chance?

[Danger Mouse]

13. Joe is all about second chances.

[Cheap_Trick]

9. FUCK FIVE PLANE MCCAIN

He willingly sold his soul for one last desperate grab for power.

He's just one sorry sack of shit now.

The sooner he crawls back under his rock, the sooner this country can start getting back on the right track.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

10. He didn't have to be controlled. He chose to be controlled.

He could have decided that he really did want to be a "maverick". Instead, he chose to toe the party line. He chose to cave. He wanted to be the presidential pick...he got it.

[Danger Mouse]

12. Oh, I understand that. I still feel bad for him.

It's pitiful to watch.
He was better than this, once upon a time.

[WinkyDink]

14. Poor baby! He bought a ticket to ride.

[WinkyDink]

15. Remedy: Remember Wife #1.

[sandnsea]

16. After what he did to John Kerry, this is pure joy

And I love that John McCain knows he's being out-classed while he destroys his own campaign.

[saltpoint]

17. McCain has been on a lot of news shows on Sunday mornings

for years.

He may have become accustomed to his own celebrity and inevitability as a presidential personality, when all along he was just an ordinary guy with the same limitations as a lot of other people and in fact, no where near presidential timber.

He's in the high-powered lane now where the things coming at him aren't the softball lobs he gets from the Sunday news show pundits. And he can't cut it.

If he's running his own show, he's not doing very well.

If someone else is, he looks like a chump.

Advantage Obama.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

26. But now he is running away from the media, turning CNN down Monday, etc. . . nt

[saltpoint]

27. It's not that he's running, exactly. It's just that it takes TIME

for his staff to count up all his houses.

He told the media a couple weeks ago he'd have his staff get back to the on how many hosues he owns.

I heard they're almost done counting...

[Hekate]

18. It is painful, yet I wonder what the price of his soul was? Because he sold it. Looking at him...

... makes me shudder.

While I don't have the frothing hatred for McCain that some here do, I also have no sympathy. Our country is at an historical tipping point -- that MFer and his new best friend could still actually be installed in the White House if fate runs against us. We had a coup d'etat in 2000 and it is not over yet. I hope that between now and November every form of bad luck imaginable happens to McCain and Palin and the entire cabal.

It is not over yet. That is both the bad news and the good news.

19. Instead of providing sound counsel to Bush, he ate cake while NOLA drowned.

I feel not a bit bad for this horrible excuse for a human being.

He made these decisions. He put himself in this position. He had the opportunity to take his party in a different direction. Instead, he chose to sell his soul for the curse of power.

[Greg K]

20. I liked McCain in 2000

When he stood up to Falwell and the religious right. I might not have agreed with him on everything, but I could have lived with him as President.

After he sold his soul to Rove in 2004, I can't say I felt any more sympathy for the guy.

Now he's just pathetic and needs to go retire. This is his last shot at the brass ring and he knows it, but it's just not going to happen.

[TXDemGal]

21. Can't say I share your feelings

McCain can take his well-deserved vacation after the first week of November. It should be a lovely Thanksgiving at the McCain houses!

[TheKentuckian]

22. It's hard to have sympathy for a sellout

John McCain took a dump on his maverick label and has become the biggest cheerleader for all the things he once opposed. Not political hedging or a reluctant placement onto the table but a born again dyed in the wool cheerleader.

McCain sucks and is no patriot, at least anymore. He's pulled a Benedict Arnold for lesser reasons. He's a chump.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

23. I can't help thinking his days are numbered

And the number is lower than he thinks.

He is a tired old Trojan horse being used to smuggle in a cold-blooded, theocracy-loving puppet of the Christian right. Will they wait for him to die, or help him go home to Jesus?

We won't be doing just ourselves a favor by keeping him out of the White House. We'll be doing him one, too.

[demobabe]

24. NO NO NO NO NO

This man is one of the Keating Five. He will steal ALL your money from your pockets if he has a chance. He will push the red button on a whim. You let this snake up and he will bite you. It isn't cruel. He's getting payback for all Bush has done and gotten away with on top of it. Not cruel or painful at all. They've put us through horrid pain these last eight years.

[JVS]

25. To paraphrase Midlo: Fuck him, and his little dog too.

[billyoc]

28. I agree. It makes me ill to see the way that he's being treat--

Oh, man, I couldn't even type the whole thing! :rofl:

Reap the whirlwind, motherfucker.

[everything-bolt-up]

29. Poor McCain't. He can't even pick his own VP. Bwahahahahaha
