3. He's been on talk shows every week for over a decade
So yeah he is. McCain is a major fame chaser, he never met a camera he didn't like. He badly burns inside at the thought of being a celebrity, which is the irony of his criticism of Obama last summer.

7. LOL!

Yes because we sure as hell don't want a celebrity (Reagan, Arnold, Fred Thomson) running the show.

8. no kidding
It's true though. McCain shows up in Vietnam documentaries, he has had several bios and other books ghostwritten for him and been on tour and various talk shows to promote them. Andrew Sullivan says he hangs out with only the most elite Beltway journalists. He's hosted SNL, done cameos on 24 and in "The Wedding Crashers." He tries to rub elbows with famous people all the time, like he had Ann Hathaway and her con artist ex-boyfriend hanging out with him a few years ago. McCain is one of the least serious politicians out there, a total glory hound.

9. So are you disparaging the great workers of our country?
Because that's who making was talking about when he said that. Really. Seriously he was. And he's didn't just say it as a last ditch attempt to back off of his saying something completely idiotic. You Evergreen Emerald, are a communist. :rofl:

11. Agreed...
during the course of the campaign, he became to me every bit as despicable a Bush, and showed me that a president, he would have been every bit as incompetent and manipulated by those around him. He should be an embarrassment to the people of Arizona.

15. "an embarrassment to the people of Arizona"
He is. So is Kyl. At least to those of us living outside Maricopa County. Just heard a great proposal:

If a U.S. Senator votes against the stimulus bill, their state should lose half the funding from the bill. If both U.S. Senators from one state vote against the bill (like here in Az.), the state loses its entire allocation from the legislation.

18. Wow, imagine that...
There are consequences for your vote. Why didn't someone think of that sooner?

12. Why would he back it...
He has his sugar-momma and just wants to get her more tax cuts.

14. He's pretty pathetic.
:crazy: He's like every guy whose whole life is devoted to overcoming the inadequacy of not being as successful as his father.

16. What a bumbling idiot. Just think.....this idiot could have been our leader......
HOLY SHIT!!

What an ass wipe. Does he even hear himself talk in circles? "worried about passing this debt on to our children and grandchildren...??" Are you f*cking kidding me? What a dumb ass hole.

I am so disgusted with listening to any of these repug/fascist scum bags. They talk the party line...they talk about "lowering taxes". Does this make any f*cking sense?? If you continue to spend, you continue to borrow....doesn't at SOME POINT, it make sense to ask the wealthy to give up their f*cking tax windfalls from the monkey's administration? "Rape and plunder."...the repug mantra.

17. that's why I mentioned dodging a bullet
This guy would have been so frightening as president. Not to mention who would have been waiting in the wings if you passed away. Good lord. As bad as things are and as much as I think the stimulus bill could be improved at least we don't have McCain as president and Phil Gramm or John Thain at Treasury overseeing our "recovery." We'd be done for.

19. Oh yeah, the American people said "Fuck You, Mr. Voice of the opposition"
This guy makes me sick. He will be the opposition before hearing any position and then justify why he is opposed to it afterwards. This is the same guy who said that the fundamentals of the economy are strong, he also had the circus of Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin as his "Best of Breed" representing the country. He is being as much of an obstructionist as he can, throwing an "angry grampy" temper tantrum because the country rejected him in droves. He spent the last 8 years causing the problem and is pretending to be shocked that we are not looking to him to solve it.

20. "Waaaah! Look at me!
Me maverick! Me leader of responsible center! Me America!"

Shup, McPutz. We have a big enough Senate majority now that we don't need to appease you and your ilk to get a bill through.

23. I won't watch the video. Can't stand to look at him.
Or listen to his anti-American proposals. Every time I do see him here or on some other stupid interview piece, he always seems to have a wad of something in his face. Is that chewing tobacco? What the hell is he sucking on? Just look at the side of his face--on right.
