11. Yeah, there's that, but...
...it would be a HUGE political win for Obama, and DADT can wait until 2012 when a Republican is back in the White House.

That's my hunch, anyway.

2. You are correct, sir
But that still doesn't disqualify him from bein' on the Sunday talk shows every frickin' weekend. Honestly, I don't know that the hosts are thinking by having this man on practically every week. Is it just lazy producers? Do they book McCain when they can't get anyone else, or when they realize come Thursday afternoon that they haven't booked a guest and McCain reliably picks up his phone, ready to go every time they call?

McCain has had a remarkable career in that he's done practically nothing, doesn't sponsor any legislation, and has no record of achievements. For all the time he's warmed a chair in the Senate, you might as well have just had a cardboard cut-out occupying the same space.

3. He is a great example of why we need an age limit
on elected office, and also just adding this one in there but the supreme court also needs an age limit.

4. He hates America ... no ... really ,,,, !!!
I think he does.

Here's my view ... he spends all that time in a POW camp and the US government does not come and rescue him. That has to piss him off in a huge way.

He survives ... and he goes into government ... spends years there, years in the Senate ... and in 2000 runs for President. He loses to Bush the Coward. McCain is pissed. But ... he knows he will get another shot ... so he waits.

In 2008 he wins the GOP primary ... and America is one election away from making up for having left him in that F&%King camp. He DESERVES this ... he EARNED IT. America can make amends to him by electing him President.

But suddenly, this black guy comes out of no where and STEALS the Presidency that should have been McCains!!!!!

SNAP ... whatever was holding him together between 2000-2008 is GONE ... his anger is no longer going to be contained.

6. He wasn't even born here.
Say what you want about "US Soil" in other countries, but the man was born in Panama.

10. Oh I know ... and during the General, I used to post THIS on right wing sites ...
Edited on Fri Dec-03-10 03:34 PM by JoePhilly
What I would post is between the line ...

-----------------
Of course we all know that John McCain was born on a military base in Panama. But some are questioning the official account.

Some say that John McCain's comprehensive immigration reform stance is based on a personal debt that he feels to the Latin American people.

Some have alleged that on the day McCain was born, his mother had left the base and went into town to do some shopping. At some point, she stopped in a local cafe where she had often stopped for lunch on other occasions.

Suddenly, she went into labor, and the cafe workers scrambled to help her. The baby was coming so fast that they had no option but to deliver the baby in the back of the cafe. The workers nicknamed the baby "El Guapo".

The owner of the cafe allowed "El Guapo" and his mother to spend the night in their home, which was attached to the cafe.

The next day, the cafe owner and a few of his workers took "El Guapo" and his mother back to the US military base.

The doctors at the base were unsure what to do. Was "El Guapo" an American citizen or not. They took "El Guapo" and his mother to the base hospital and completed the birth certificate AS IF the birth had taken place right then on the base, and NOT in a local cafe.

This account has not been confirmed at this time ... but it is concerning that the McCain campaign has yet to refute this a account.
---------------------------

The responses to this were hilarious ..
