thank God john mccain is not president.

[spanone]

he's absolutely insane and with the brilliant input from vice-president palin,

we would be in some real deep shit.

his only response is military might.

[CherokeeDem]

1. Scary thougth, isn't it?

Every time some one on this board attacks President Obama I want to remind them, you could have McCain or Romney to deal with what we are facing. I don't agree with everything the President does but I am thankful he's the one making the decisions.

Geez... McCain scares me...

[SummerSnow]

2. A bloodthirsty warmonger

[FSogol]

3. A-men. Was there ever a potential war that didn't give him a war hard-on?

[Jamaal510]

20. The War on Poverty. nt

[FSogol]

23. True, but maybe that's the one that needs war profiteers. We could pay big bonuses whenever the

poverty rate goes down. We already shovel obscene amounts of cash at Raytheon, Lockheed, and others, why not get them working on reducing hunger, homelessness, and poverty?

[1000words]

4. McCain plays the role of attack dog ... it's his thing.

Both sides benefit from it, when it's called upon. Furthermore, the whole "McCain is a blood-thirsty warmonger" framing is comic book oversimplification. Still glad he's not President, but I'm not foolish enough to take his public persona as completely genuine.

[spanone]

9. i take him at face value.

is there a dove hiding in mr mccain?

i don't see any sign of it.

he would be a most dangerous president, imho.

[FSogol]

24. Hardly. He's overly reactionary and borderline unstable. He's still trying to win the Vietnam war

and make his Dad proud. He has a few screws loose.

[bluestate10]

5. I second that. nt

[appleannie1]

6. He would have had us involved in a nuclear war long before now.

[kairos12]

7. We would be ashes.

[Skittles]

8. I would thank the voters

[sheshe2]

10. It's time that he is put out to pasture. nt

[Kablooie]

11. Actually, if we had a totally insane president and the world knew it ...

Putin might have thought twice about challenging us.
So in a way the right could be right in a twisted kind of way.

You'd have to have a verifiable maniac at the helm though.

[Sognefjord]

19. That was kind of the Nixon Theory I thought.

Don't mess with Tricky Dick since he is not altogether all there!

[oldandhappy]

12. AMEN!

[Whisp]

13. Hillary thought McCain was more qualified to be Pres than Obama...

and some may wonder why I think she is a creep.

[pnwmom]

21. Do you have a link for that? n/t

[brooklynboy49]

26. Link you requested

hillarywouldsellchelseadowntherivertobeprez.com

And she loves her daughter.

She's just hungry for power. The more Americans like her, the less I do lol.

[Whisp]

31. Here:

http://voices.yahoo.com/mccain-would-better-president-than-obama-clinton-1054771.html

What is not expected is the acknowledgment that Senator John McCain, a Republican rival and supposed ideological opposite, would be a better president than Senator Barack Obama, a fellow Democrat and supposed ideological equal (more or less). According to Fernando Suarez of CBS News in Forth Worth, Clinton told the reporters: "I think you'll be able to imagine many things Senator McCain will be able to say. He's never been the president, but he will put forth his lifetime of experience. I will put forth my lifetime of experience. Senator Obama will put forth a speech he made in 2002."

The speech she referred to is an anti-war speech Obama made in Chicago before assuming his duties as a U.S. Senator for the state of Illinois.

[pnwmom]

32. Thanks. Yeah, that was a stupid thing for her to say. I guess she thought

what she said in Texas would stay in Texas, and she was trying to make points with the Independents. Dumb.

[Whisp]

35. I think she thought she had it in the bag and could say anything

and not have her dumb statements like that re-visited.

[treestar]

14. Never saw a war he didn't want

McFivePlanes wants to relive the old glory of battle.

[Cha]

15. Instead we got this guy..

thanks spanone~

[undeterred]

16. thank God mitt romney isn't president either

[yortsed snacilbuper]

17. $arah palin would have run his White House just like cheney ran the,

bu$h White House!

[moondust]

18. We'd still be at war in Georgia.

And still in Iraq. And no pullout from Afghanistan. And probably a couple other places.

Maybe he has some big defense contractors pushing him because they need a big new war to feed on.

[Cha]

22. Happy St Patrick's Day from the White House, spanone~

[dembotoz]

29. +1

[riqster]

30. And they need to GOTV this year, so we have more to thank them for!

[jwirr]

33. Amen. We have already had one president who had alzhiemers and his cabinet/vp started us on the

long road to ruin. This guy is off base so far he would probably get us all killed in a nuke war.

[napkinz]

34. war! war! war!
