Grandma to McCain: "You have no excuse"

McCain In The Middle
Left And Right Question His Independence, Loyalty
April 12, 2006
By DAVID LIGHTMAN, Washington Bureau Chief CONCORD, N.H. --

When Jean Diamond asked Sen. John McCain a polite but tough question about federal spending last weekend, McCain turned churlish.

"I'm not getting anything I really need and my grandchildren are getting saddled with $9 trillion in debt," said Diamond, a Keene retiree. "Why should I vote Republican?"

Because, McCain replied, Democrats have also voted to increase federal spending.

"Maybe," the Arizona Republican suggested, "you should vote for the vegetarians."

Diamond was not amused by McCain's sarcasm. "Republicans are in charge of three Houses," she snapped back. "You have no excuse."

McCain shook his head. "Yes, ma'am," he said, peering at the 500 people gathered at the town meeting. "I knew we should have cut this thing off."

1. Another GOP stooge who refuses to face the music...

"Yeah, we were in charge...but why didn't the minority party stop us, then?"

2. Good for her!!

McCain is another rethuglican who refuses to take responsibility for the actions of his party.

I used to have respect for McCain because of his experience in Vietnam, but no more. He is a piece of shit just like Bush.

9. Another one wakes up.

It's like chalk on a blackboard when I hear a Democrat express admiration of that POS McCain.

[TayTay]

3. What an arsehole.

He can't even answer the woman's question without getting all snarky and defensive. Saying that you wish your audience never had the chance to ask questions in the first place is not exactly the 'Straight Talk Express' anymore.

I think McCain is starting to grate on voters who liked him before.

[tyedyeto]

4. So ashamed that he is my elected Senator ...

:hangs head in shame:

[madfloridian]

5. He is making a lot of people angry.

He is really pandering to Bush.

[Disturbed]

6. McLame's charm is waring off.

He is a hyporcrite and a jerk. He is starting to show what he really is.

17. Grandma agrees with you

[graywarrior]

7. He's gonna crash & burn, hopefully.

[Island Blue]

8. Oh snap!

Go Granny, Go! McCain is an asshole. The sooner people realize that, the better off we'll all be.

[Booster]

10. McCain is a swarmy little man. I find it kind of odd that we haven't

seen Mrs. McCain anywhere; I know she's been sick and this swarmy little man should be home with her in my opinion, but McCain's always put his agenda before his family as far as I'm concerned. He should have demanded a fist fight with Bush for what they put McCain's wife through. Swarmy, I tell ya. He just plain gives me the creeps.

16. I wonder if Kerry's even talking to him anymore

Is McCain worse than he used to be, or has he always been this bad?

[stepnw1f]

11. Buh Bye McCain

You will never be President and deservedly so.

[cookiebird]

19. Ohio

has seen a bit of the McCain "magic"--sucking up to the RW crowd he seems to think will win the governor-ship. Serious yuck.

[killbotfactory]

12. All aboard the straight talk express!!!

What a piece of shit McCain is.

13. I wonder if this a GOP plot to get rid of McCain?

:tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat:

[quiet.american]

14. "You need people like McCain &Joe Lieberman, people who know the middle."

Uh...'nuff said. :eyes:

[Flying Dream Blues]

18. Lie-berman creeps me out even worse than McCain, if that's possible. nt
