OMG!. John McCain is on the Senate floor

[in_cog_ni_to]

and said the Dems are fighting the Condiliar nomination "BECAUSE OF LINGERING BITTERNESS OVER THE LOST ELECTION." What a bastard!

[babylonsister]

1. What happened to him?

I know he wants to run in '08, but why did his morals fly out the window?

[robbedvoter]

4. Ugh...morals? Please explain.

:shrug:

[babylonsister]

16. Prior to '04, I liked him.

He defended vets and wouldn't take any guff from the Repugs even though he was one. All this in spite of the shit the blivet and co. put him through about his adopted daughter. He seemed to me to speak his mind and didn't let any party affiliations get in the way. But he's done a massive 180, and not for the better.

[0007]

43. Does this explain it?



[knight_of_the_star]

48. Is that a real photo?

For some reason that looks fake to me

[Stand and Fight]

49. Yes...

It's from the New York Times. If you check the properties for the picture you will see that it is posted there...

[0007]

52. Sure is!

[liberal N proud]

15. He has been a bush patsy ever since bush smeared him in the

2000 primaries.

[1monster]

20. He hasn't had any for years and years... A lot of people just bought into

his P.R.

I remember reading in Newsweek, years ago, that there was a vote coming up in the Senate that he felt was very fiscally irresponsible and bad for the country. However, President Clinton felt the same way and was campaigning against it.

John McCain called it a Hobson's Choice as to whether vote his conscience and his convictions which would give Clinton a win or to vote as the Republican Party wanted him to vote.

He voted against his conscience and his convictions because he just could see his way clear to giving a win to Clinton.

No morals, no integrity.

[Kahuna]

42. Right. I can't believe that people bought into a campaign slogan...

"Straight Talk Express," my eye. McCain talks out of both side of his snake mouth. He always hs.

[FULL_METAL_HAT]

44. Brainwashing ... there is no other explanation...

Seriously, considering how valuable his 'support' is to **, despite his seemingly 'reasoned' perspective, it would make sense that some form of long-term intensive psy-ops have worked on his already tortured soul (pardon the pun).

_IF_ there were such techniques, do you think that ** & co. would HESITATE FOR A SECOND to use it?

Just on their lack of moral and ethical limits, I would not be surprised if history from the far future examines the political mind control used in our age now...

/me tightens hat against mind-control-rays! lol

2. Nooo! The sainted McCain? Kerry's prospective VP?

I am afraid I will soon lose some of the humongous respect I have for him

[in_cog_ni_to]

10. yeah. Can you remember

the "love" that was oozing out of DU posters for McCain? The "perfect" VP? Man-O-Man.....:eyes: :puke: The media wasted WEEKS on that friggin', nutty story.

He was a bastard BEFORE the election and he's still a bastard!

[robbedvoter]

25. The story turned out to be true though

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6407226/site/newsweek /
The "Outlandish" McCain Offer. Kerry's courtship of
Senator John McCain to be his running mate was
longer-standing and more intense than previously
reported. As far back as August 2003, Kerry had taken
McCain to breakfast to sound him out to run on a unity
ticket. McCain batted away the idea as not serious,
but Kerry, after he wrapped up the nomination in
March, went back after McCain a half-dozen more times.
"To show just how sincere he was, he made an
outlandish offer," Newsweek's Thomas reports. "If
McCain said yes he would expand the role of vice
president to include secretary of Defense and the
overall control of foreign policy. McCain exclaimed,
'You're out of your mind. I don't even know if it's
constitutional, and it certainly wouldn't sell.'"
Kerry was thwarted and furious. "Why the f--- didn't
he take it? After what the Bush people did to him...'"

[KoKo]

31. I can't believe that this story is true in the way Thomas

says. Kerry would have to be nuts to have pursued McCain the way this article reads. MSNBC/Newsweek.... At least I hope it's a huge exaggeration.

[robbedvoter]

35. Too many details. Will Pitt was confirming it on DU AT THE TIME

I thought he was imagining things, but truth has a way of coming to light after the fact. I think is very revealing in light of today's remarks. The more you grovel, the more they kick you in the face (will work for mcCain too)

[NewYorkerfromMass]

39. I don't believe it either

I know the essentials are that Kerry asked him "to consider" the possibility. These details of power sharing and restructuring of the office and the quotes are just so much garnish and embellishment and are absolute hearsay.

[robbedvoter]

46. Do you believe Colon Bowell as SOS? nah.....why would ya?

So far, only the party with Adolph is uncontested.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Hey, McCain?

Bite me.

[hiley]

5. I am so

fucking tired of those guys basically telling us to "get over it, you lost". Just because bush is still in the WH doesn't mean everyone should bow down.:wtf:


McCain should be ashamed of himself after the way bush and co treated him back in 2000. what a kiss up !

[blm]

6. I'll bet he needs ambien to sleep at night. He's been horrid since BushInc

got their hooks into him.

I'll bet they're dangling their campaign machine in front of all these Senators who plan to run in 2008. "Do what we say for the next 3 years, and we'll take your side."

[in_cog_ni_to]

12. "Do what we say and we'll put our evoting machines to work for you."

No doubt that crap is going on.

[Goldeneye]

7. We should send him something nice.

Maybe some dead flowers?

[Rush1184]

8. And they say we Flip-Flop

[hector459]

9. OK, so that's the reason. So what? they have a right to be bitter.

Does that make what they are saying untrue? Does that make the lies that this administration told "true?"

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

11. This is a man whose wife and daughter should disown him considering

the assassination job the ** Cartel pulled on them.

The man has no moral compass.

[CWebster]

14. He has been clipped--neutered. nt

[hector459]

13. Some should stand up and say, "Yes we are bitter!!" We are bitter

because of 1400 soldiers who didn't have to die! We are bitter because of the state that this country is in right now and the mortgaging of our children's future. Yes, we are bitter because of the outright blatant disregard for our Constitution!" Take their fire and turn it against them.

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. I hope Boxer and Byrd were listening.

Hopefully they will say something.

[onehandle]

18. Our soldiers that Condi and company killed mean nothing to him.

McCain is an opportunistic whore. Always has been.

[in_cog_ni_to]

19. I agree. The kicker for me was when

the chimp kissed him on the head and McCain hugged him like a baby. Disgusting.

[JI7]

21. does McCain criticize Rumsfeld because he is bitter over not being

asked to serve as sec of defense ?

[dbt]

22. Slight correction, Senator. That would be the lingering bitterness

over THREE STOLEN ELECTIONS. You're goddam right I'm bitter. Suck me.

:freak:
dbt

[rman]

23. it's because Condi is a torture apologist (amongst other reasons)

Condi denies the Abu-Graib thing is torture.

The only reason why she can do that is because the * admin has redefined torture (thanks to Gonzalez) so that what most people would think is torture, officially isn't torture according to the Bush administration.

In the words of Paul Krugman: "They are careful to phrase the things they say so that it is literally true, just misleading."

[itcfish1]

24. Didn't Know

that any democrat lost to Condisleeza

[robbedvoter]

26. Bingo! (or to W for that matter)

[opihimoimoi]

27. Wow, the colors of the Pugs come out so blaringly///McCain is a Pain

[mdmc]

28. why else would they fight condi- they supported the war

McCain is right on. The dems are disgusting.

[DrGonzoLives]

29. Preparing to run in 2008

Trying to solidify his standing amongst the more right-wing of the party.

[LittleClarkie]

30. I wonder if Kerry and McCain are speaking right now

McCain is being more partisan than usual, it seems.

But then maybe he's always this way.

I wonder how much the way McCain has been acting is bugging Kerry, or is the friendship McCain tried to distance himself from above their jobs as Senator.

Is McCain still "weary" of Kerry mentioning their friendship, I wonder?

Putz.

[Cocoa]

32. pathetic

I'll say to him what he said to Bush, "you should be ashamed."

[Supersedeas]

37. maybe all of his votes against Boy George were b/c of lingering bitterness

All better now...apparently

[adigal]

33. What happened is he is starting his run

for '08. Becoming a real right wing nut - will probably be a religious nut soon too. His wife will be seen with charismatic groups and stuff.

Selling his soul and they STILL are going to kick him in the teeth in '08.

HEEHEE!!!

[ernstbass]

34. I don't know how this man can look in the mirror

and have one shred of self respect. He allowed chimpie to destroy his character in 2000 ans he was chimpie's whore in 2004. He sickens me.

[Fla Dem]

36. He is such a tool. n/t

[Padraig18]

38. Some here thought Sen. Slug would be a good VP nominee, last year

:eyes:

[Generator]

40. My God I'm feeling smug

I said McCain was rotten.

I said I don't trust the Clintons.

I said Kerry is an honorable man.

Street sense-I tell you.

I'd still take Kerry over any of these slime.

Oh and Dean the much maligned warrior truth teller-he is too precious to lose.

Seperation party anyone?

[flpoljunkie]

41. Obviously advise and consent are just words for McCain, who is obviously

running already for '08. McCain and today's GOP deserve each other. The man has no integrity--yet he is still a darling of the media.

McCain never met a war he did not want to fight. I would never vote for him under any circumstances!

[Albert Einstein]

45. We should support all black prostitutes who let 3000 people die.

Why would anyone oppose Bush's mistress? If someone you loved died because of her, you'd support her too, right?

[The Doctor.]

47. No, no... it has nothing to do with the fact that she's incompetent....

Doesn't the title 'National Security Advisor' come with a job description that has something to do with 'national security'?

Call me crazy, but didn't some planes fly into some buildings on her watch?

[martymar64]

50. Fuck McCain!

He's chosen sides with the Neo Con murderers and DEserves every bit of misfortune that comes his way. They should have killed him back at the Hanoi Hilton for bombing civilians in North Vietnam. Fuck him in his puckered old anus!!!

[LittleClarkie]

53. Not without protection

But you can go to Hades for that Hanoi Hilton crack. That's just wrong.

[NightTrain]

51. Here's a new entry for Harper's Index....

3.4: Ounces of George W. Bush's fecal matter on John McCain's nose.

[zulchzulu]

54. McAin't has now completely lost it in my book

He's like a dog that pisses on your pillow that stops long enough for you to think maybe he stopped his stupid habit.

Then he pisses on your pillow again.

Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
