John McCain is ready for a new fight.

"I have decided to run for re-election," the Arizona senator told NBC News in an exclusive interview revealing his plans to pursue a sixth term on Capitol Hill. "I'm ready. I am more than ready. In some ways, I am eager."

McCain is currently 78 years old but will be 80 by Election Day in 2016. He defended his vitality, saying that he is "just getting started" when it comes to his Senate career.

"I say watch me," he said. "Take a look. Take a look at my 18 hour days. Take a look at the hearings we have. Take a look at my legislative accomplishments."

With a smile, McCain also cited the longevity of his mother, Roberta. "I am happy to tell you my mother is 103 years old and she is doing well," he said.

1. The teabaggers will primary him again

Leading John to say some of the most offensive, vile stuff we've ever heard to save his job.

Fuck you, McGramps.

2. he just wants to outlast obama nt

3. There's got to be a strong Democrat in Arizona who can present a legit challenge to this overstayer.

Like Raúl Grijalva. Or Kyrsten Sinema.

4. I'd love to see

Rep. Raul Grijalva move up to the Senate. I had signed a petition and wrote letters to the Obama camp to appoint him as Sec. of Interior back in '08.

Don't know much about the other. What I do know is that McGrumps needs to go, one way or another, he's senile and needs to be put out to pasture. His lapdwag Lindsey wouldn't know what to do without him, that could count as two gone with one retirement.

7. The guy is senile now, for God's sake.

8. Of course he's running again. If he leaves the range of a camera or spotlight he'll die.

That's the curse the witch put on him many years ago.

9. Take a look at the hearings we have

10. Pull out all the stops to defeat this horrible person. Change that seat to blue! nt

11. McCain is afraid to retire

There was a line in the Game Change movie where McCain stated that his father and grandfather both died shortly after retiring and that he was not going to retire. McCain still believes thisl

The man is getting senile and it is time for him to retire.

12. Sealed

He is afraid that someone would useal his medical and military records if he is not there to stop them. If everyone knew the TRUTH about this lumpy little toad, he would not appear EVERY Sunday on the bobble head, bash Obama TV shows. Choosing PayMe as his VP should have opened people's eyes. He does not want the JOB as President, just the prestige.

13. LOL, love 'lumpy little toad'.

May have to steal

17. McCain is a liar, a cheat, and psycho

McCain in a story told by Zalin Grant in a blog called Pyhia Press talks about McCain, and shows a distinguishing intuitive axiom about McCain not telling the truth about his injuries or following instructions.

If McCain followed instructions to avoid a SAM missile McCain likely would not have been a prisoner of war.

Moreover, by his own admission, then, McCain failed to follow instructions in combat. He failed to use the proper procedure he had been taught for ejecting. As a result, he injured himself critically, breaking both arms and his right leg.

McCain is a liar, a cheat, and psycho, he belongs in a court martial along with Bergdahl.

14. As a native Arizonan...

Have you no decency sir?

[bullwinkle428]

15. What happened to those "18 hour days" when he admitted to signing that ridiculous

Cotton letter to Iran in a huge rush without actually reading it?

[ChazInAz]

16. No

What will it take to rid us of this nasty excuse for a human being? The only time he leaves his Phoenix bubble to come down here to Tucson is when he hits up local businessmen and land developers for bribes. The citizenry? He can't be bothered with the likes of us.
Come on, Arizona Democratic Party: give us some viable candidates and stand behind them when they run!
