Jeezus!! Commit this McCainiac idiot! That's what's done when one of the common people threatens suicide.

(On second thought... you know what's best for YOU, John. Do what you gotta do.)

[Monkeyman]

2. John John don't worry we won;t take you as a POW or torture you

[agincourt]

3. Good riddance,

"Maverick" can call Jeff Gannon for moral support.

saying that. It would be so good to use it in ads against him in 2008, esp. if the dems win.

[Webster Green]

5. Works for me!

I'm series!

[NanceGreggs]

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

That'd make both parties happy.


:D(D) :D(R)

[Kurovski]

14. What a stupid thing to say.

Especially considering how close he is to Bush, the "suicider".

[DeadManInc]

15. That would be the first favor he done this country.

[MrCoffee]

19. The melodrama of these fuckers is getting ridiculous.

I keep hearing that if the house gets taken back our taxes are going to go up. If the dems take back the house, our economy's gonna crash...BLAH BLAH BLAH! Hello. If we retake the house, and they keep the senate, we can't do anything. They can't do anything either. They forget that the president is one of the most partisan president ever. The whole lot sickens me.

Lyrics to the song 'Suicide is Painless'

Through early morning fog I see

visions of the things to be

the pains that are withheld for me

I realize and I can see...

:

that suicide is painless

It brings on many changes

and I can take or leave it if I please.

I try to find a way to make

all our little joys relate

without that ever-present hate

but now I know that it's too late, and...



The game of life is hard to play

I'm gonna lose it anyway

The losing card I'll someday lay

so this is all I have to say.



The only way to win is cheat

And lay it down before I'm beat

and to another give my seat

for that's the only painless feat.



The sword of time will pierce our skins

It doesn't hurt when it begins

But as it works its way on in

The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...



A brave man once requested me

to answer questions that are key

is it to be or not to be

and I replied 'oh why ask me?'



'Cause suicide is painless

it brings on many changes

and I can take or leave it if I please.

...and you can do the same thing if you please.

[Philosoraptor]

21. don't be a suicide chump and make threats, just do it.

[9119495]

22. Death before Democracy. Interesting take.

Maybe McCain lacks the intestinal fortitude, but we managed to survive a republican takeover of the White House (the man was not elected), and the senate since 2001. Too bad he isn't tougher than we are.

[Art_from_Ark]

39. Partick Henry-- "Give me liberty, or give me death!"

John McCain-- "Give me one-party rule, or give me death!"

:banghead:

[spanone]

23. So, does Hillary get an hour tomorrow night?

25. That oughta help with democratic GOTV efforts. n/t

[kevinbgoode]

26. GOOD

eom

[ccpup]

27. Kinda stupid, if you ask me.

How in the H-E-double hockey sticks is he now supposed to convince people (should he run in 2008) that he's a bipartisan kinda guy who can work with the other side across the aisle? The Dems will just run this "joke" 24-7! Pretty stupid thing to say, if you ask me.

[glitch]

28. Everybody donate to the DSCC! nt

[Strelnikov_]

29. Promise? n/t

[Cameron27]

30. I despise that man

Liar, hypocrit....precious snowflake, just melt and get it over with.

[Burried News]

32. Be sure to use a dull knife McCain. nt

[Lefty48197]

.

[survivor999]

34. Good!!

One down.

[dave502d]

35. I will buy the rope. n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

41. DUers should mail McCain bundles of rope! Thousands of bundles of rope.

Think he'll get the message?

[kestrel91316]

36. Can we hold you to your promise, John???

[Jacobin]

37. Here's hoping that for once, he's a man of his word.

:bounce:

[in_cog_ni_to]

38. GOOD! We should be so lucky!

:woohoo::woohoo: Good riddance!

[Richard Steele]

40. Well, there's the prize in the frickin' CrackerJacks!

Why not, Mr McCain? After all, you've already
committed POLITICAL suicide:

[MazeRat7]

42. See ya... don't make a mess. (n/t)

[Sugar Smack]

43. OK, this is one of the FUNNIEST threads I've EVER seen, based

on everyone's response to that asinine comment.

Anyway, go for it, John. Whatever. :toast:

[Hubert Flottz]

44. He wouldn't be the first Reich winger to take that way out of a bind

Easier than facing the music for his part in wrecking the Rule Of Law in America.



After all, he helped Bush craft the Final Solution to the Gitmo Problem...

[mmonk]

45. Trying to get my hopes up?

[TahitiNut]

46. Have a lottery for the rights to pay for the bullet and RAISE MILLIONS!

:evilgrin:

[Imagevision]

47. I hope McCain is a man of his word...

[Swamp Rat]

48. Hope Springs Eternal!

Jeebus, I hope he's a man of his word! :bounce:

[Cleita]

49. Oh sure he will!

:sarcasm:

However, if he feels he has to fall on his sword, I am for freedom of choice. It's democratic, not republican, and no one should interfere.

[Golden Raisin]

50. How very "presidential" of him.

Just the kind of reasoned, calm, thoughtful, bipartisan, healing response we want in our leaders.

[bklyncowgirl]

51. Hey John, I got me an over right here. Care to put your head in it.!

Or are you more a drive off the bridge kind of guy?

[The Gunslinger]

52. Vote Vote Vote !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mentalsolstice]

54. Cut vertical, not horizontal. n/t

[bluedeminredstate]

55. Outrageous!

He's saying death is preferable to Democratic control of the Senate. If a Democrat said that he would be gutted on every
cable talk-fest until the pundits' tongues bled. I am pissed and I hope this will be thrown back at him with great force by the Dems.

:mad:

[ecstatic]

56. He can kiss a presidential run goodbye

I hope someone has the audio/video.

First off, suiciders go straight to hell, according to evangelicals.

Secondly, if he is too suicidal to handle a majority Dem congress then he doesn't have what it takes to run this country. Would he commit suicide if a nuke went off in this country (far more *devastating* than a Dem majority :sarcasm:)?

[blue4barb]

57. Let's DU it! n/t

[Nabia2004]

58. Sounds like he did "sell his soul"

[AnnieBW]

60. Straight Talk Express!

I've got your Straight Talk Express right here, baby!

[johnnyrocket]

66. ....apparently right off a cliff.

[NightOwwl]

61. Wassa matter Johnny?

Are you scared of the big bad Democrats?

[johnnyrocket]

62. Don't jump John!! There's more to life than...

...being an lacky idiot for the GOP.

[VeggieTart]

63. Paging Dr. Kevorkian!!!!

Maybe he'll make an exception.

McCain really has entered the jabberwocky lately, hasn't he? Maybe Michael Moore should try to get him committed to a St. Elizabeth's.

[FrenchieCat]

64. I dare ya, McCain.......

In fact, I double dare ya!

[AngryOldDem]

65. What a stupid thing to say

It's like what a lovestruck teenage girl says when a boy dumps her.

Such theatrics. Has it really come to this, John?
