want some help with that, mother fucker?

DES MOINES, Iowa (Reuters) - Arizona Sen. John McCain, a likely Republican presidential contender in 2008, joked on Wednesday he would "commit suicide" if Democrats win the Senate in November.

McCain, on a visit to Iowa to campaign for Republican congressional candidates, was asked his reaction to a potential Democratic takeover of the Senate in the November 7 elections.

"I think I'd just commit suicide," McCain told reporters, to accompanying laughter from Republicans standing with him. "I don't want to face that eventuality because I don't think it's going to happen."

1. Now THERE'S a bi-partisan mentality in action!

:sarcasm:

Wasn't he also part of that Gang of 14 armtwisters?

2. This Congress has been DREADFUL

And read this story to find out how: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/12055360/cover_story_time_to_go_inside_the_worst_congress_ever

McCain is part of it, although not the most egregious part of it. He's still cooperated fully with this travesty.

If I thought any of those old boys were serious, I'd contribute toward the purchase of their guns.

3. more evidence of his unstableness

even if he is joking. If he does, the Democratic governor of AZ can pick his replacement!

8. I'm not studied in the art of psychology

but I do believe McCain is at least a little mentally unstable. I have every respect for the man for his military service but he seems to have the early signs of Alzheimer's. I don't make light of this, my father had it, died from it. He should retire and enjoy the rest of his life removed from the cancer which he and his party has made today's Washington DC.

[whistle]

4. Actually MaCain can take that option right now

[havocmom]

5. Is that a threat or a promise, McCain?

The junta has the goods on you, don't they boy? Ya got of a leettle to easy in that Keating Five thing. Somebody pulled some strings and now those strings have ya by the balls, don't they McCain?

Such a waste. Must be worse than being a POW, being a prisoner of your own past and the cheney junta.

6. I am sure a lot of these whores would want to do that

if real investigations were ever done on their role in this huge mess and the books were opened on them....

McCain is really disgusting....what a whore...

7. What's do they see in this suckup...

everytime Chris Matthews says something about him he acts as though he is superman or something and I have noticed lately that some republicons have started naming him along with their so called accomplishments. They are so busy thinking that they know who is going to be the president as though the people have no say.
