John McCain Will Run for Re-election to the Senate in 2016

By Kelly O'Donnell
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.

(86,308 posts)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.

(144,890 posts)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.
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.

(750 posts)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.

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!
