McCain will lose more than the election in November
I wonder if he has considered this . . . by attempting to win this campaign in an unprecedented low fashion, lying over and over and over, no matter how he's called on it, hiding from the press, wildly lashing out at the media, more lying, vile attacks on what more and more people in this country are discovering is a good man, to win this election, John McCain's name will be mud, nothing, nada. Forever. He'll go back to the Senate in disgrace, a broken sad little man. He'll have lost the one thing we all know he holds most dear: his honor.

John McCain, you ARE NOT a good man.

4. He holds the IMAGE of his honor dear
His life and history shows his "honor" has been nothing but a shoddily crafted illusion, willingly believed by an uncritical media and a gullible public.

17. Exactly.
I believed the myth, too, until I educated myself.

Nothing in McSame's history was honorable. Being a POW was something that happened to him, not that he achieved, and he even turned his back on other POW/MIAs and veterans.

He's strictly an opportunist and built his entire life and career around an enhanced "war hero" mythology.

That he turns out to be a nasty, low-life liar now does not really come as a surprise.

5. His has rewritten his own legacy.
From "war hero" and Vietnam POW to the man who ran the slimiest and most racist campaign in the whole history of presidential campaigns since the Civil War.

6. In the meantime, Obama...
has steadily been pounding home specifics on every issue, including his economic plan, day after day, with little or no coverage from the MSM. I'm guessing Obama's speeches will be getting a lot more coverage in the next few days because he is the only real leader this nation has right now.

13. McSame
I have read several books about him, and as far as I can tell, he never had any integrity.

9. McCain has always been a douchebag
He was just able to hide it by appearing to be contrite after the Keating 5 Scandal by introducing meaningless legislation that supposedly reformed government, re-inventing himself as a maverick, and sucking up to the press. He was able to hide his true self longer than most people could, but in the end, his true self emerged.

12. I think you're right on.
As I learn more about that scandal I've come to the same conclusion.

25. LOL
I kept expecting Gollum's face to morph into McShame's.

Someone needs to do that!

14. ...
I wish someone would plant this seed in his mind. It might give him pause next time launches another smear ad. I'm not holding my breath, after all he is a republican.

food for thought though. :hi:

19. He's not a good liar
He doesn't do it as well as most Republican's. I swear, at times, like when he was on The View, he had shame written on his face. I think the way he's running does bother him, unlike the current Liar-In-Chief who's such a natural at it, lies with a smirk and twinkle in his eye.

22. I may catch heat for saying this...
But I do detect remnants of a soul in the shell that is John McCain. Darth Cheney, Rove and Bu$h on the other hand are walking dead as far as I'm concerned.

As far as McCain's romp on The View as well as other shows and at rallies, he needs his wife or Phalin to prop him up and keep him from looking foolish. Poor old man, I hope his impending defeat is quick and painless, i.e. over by 10 p.m. eastern time on the 4th.

BTW, nice topic, I didn't see it that way until today. :hi:

15. I wonder if he's smart enough to realize he was nothing but the repuke's sacrificial lamb this year.
They didn't want to damage the career of an up-and-comer in the party by losing to Obama, so they gave McShit-for-brains his shot to both appease him and to rid themselves of him at the same time. His despicable campaign is just his way of trying to turn the tables on them by winning and thus, in his deluded mind, save his honor, without realizing he's squandered away whatever little honor he had.

20. Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
I mentioned this weeks ago and said McCain was the GOP's booby prize. At the time he didn't realize it but after he was stuck with Palin, the truth came home. He's not even thinking about his career after 11/4 because he thinks the Presidency is already his. He's going to have hell to pay once Obama's declared the winner and he has to face his Party; he and Lieberman both have that in common.

21. True but he'll be denied what he feels is his due: the Presidency & the power that comes with it.
After the election, McCain will be pushed aside for the up & coming Republicans and no one will give McCain a second thought. To save face, I see him 'retiring' with the blessing of his Party.

time around?

28. Multi-term Senators are very difficult to beat
That is why it is so important to go after Sununu and Coleman and why I wish we were going harder after Chamblis.

I suppose Napolitano could run for the seat.

23. the only respect he had was in the press
his peers in the Senate hate him. My senator, Bennett, can not stand the guy and he's a republican. I do not think it is because he is a "maverick" (TM) but because he is a nasty, vindictive man with a bad temper.

26. Since when are people who do those things treated as pariahs in our Congress? If I've
learned anything, it's that you can do the most despicable things imaginable, and you'll be held up as a hero, if you've done them to the right people. "He'll go back to the Senate in disgrace"? Sheeeeeit.

Arizona would not re-elect this fool after his huge defeat in November.
