1. I'm really glad the MSM is acknowledging this latest gaffe.
I hope it comes down on him, although I must admit, personally I think it was a pretty innocuous comment. But I still want to use it against him! :7 :hi:

8. Is it really necessary to puke on me twice?
I understand you felt strongly enough to essentially tell me I'm wrong, and to puke on me -- but twice? I get it -- we don't agree. I'm a horrible person -- :shrug:

14. Yes. I think killing is warranted for everyone who poses a terrorist threat
to our great nation. That's why I'm a democrat. :eyes:

Appreciate your puke, too - nice to know I can't express my opinion (even though it may be wrong) without others dissing me.

6. You know, I'd agree with you except for the fact that McCain may
soon have the power (and might have a political incentive) to actually attack and kill Iranians.

That makes it, you know, less innocuous.

11. He was very flippant about killing people. That shows an inner mindset that belies
anything else he might say.

19. We've had seven and one-half years of off the cuff remarks
Yo, Blair!
Sorry, I don't really need a president to come and sit in the pub with me and tell off colour jokes.
Maybe we need someone for a bit of time who can restore a bit of dignity to the office.

16. That's an excellent point. In fact, look at what Chuck Todd said about Obama...

3. Chuck Todd: This makes you want to have John McCain over for dinner.
As long you've never had an Iranian friend, I guess. Or common human sympathy.

4. It doesn't matter to me whether the US likes him...
What matters to me is if he will be an effective diplomat. And if he keeps having these senior moments where he blurts out whatever nonsense is on his mind, he won't be taken seriously internationally.

9. Republicans love to joke about killing people or people dying. It is just bizarre but
consistent.

15. Impotence, maybe?
Nope, guess not. Or at least it hasn't worked yet.

17. That John!
He is just HILARIOUS!

He's the kinda guy I'd want to invite to dinner! My kids would get a kick outta those "kill people who don't look and act like us" jokes. He's JUST like the average guy....who tells jokes about killing others indiscriminately. Ha ha ha!

Just what we need in the White House! Another average guy (with multiple homes) you can sit down and have a beer with....before the lynching. That worked out great the last time, didn't it?
