Did you see McCain on TODAY show?

[donco6]

He was totally justifying Caribou Barbie's use of "reload" and setting target sites on battleground states (including Colorado). Disgusting jerk.

[livetohike]

1. He's so loyal to Palin and he is being used. I almost feel

sorry for him, except that he is a jerk.

[donco6]

9. My more apolitical partner was even yelling at him.

He was just talking about how "that rhetoric has been used during my entire career" making it sound like there's nothing different today from any other time in history. Well, I haven't been around as long as him, but *I* certainly don't remember a time that's been this bad.

[babylonsister]

11. I don't think that's the case; he's loyal to himself, and sees his

chances of reelection swirling down the drain unless he takes the party line that there's just nothing to see here! :grr:

[livetohike]

16. I haven't heard him criticize Palin yet

and that's showing restraint. I wish McCain's senate seat would go to a Dem. I know, wishful thinking.

[Raschel]

24. Yep. She's campaigning for him so he's trying to downplay her hate mongering.

[havocmom]

15. Nope, he is loyal to John McCain, and he is struggling in a state with a high loon to sane ratio

Considering the crap GOP at state level has been pulling, he knows he needs to move to the right of Attila the Hun to even stay in his senate race.

[livetohike]

20. Do you think he will throw Palin under the bus once he wins

his senate race? I don't know, I think he will continue to support her because otherwise, it makes his decision making skills look pathetic.

[havocmom]

27. I think he will do whatever his wife's uber rich friends tell him to do

If they still see uses for Palin and the stalker army, they will tell him to make nice.

The one comfort I take is that his oh-so-obvious lust has got to annoy the crap out of his wife. But he does what he does for John McCain, and the rich tell him how that's going to work.

[RKP5637]

2. I can't stand to watch/listen to this jerk. He's a boring old fart always

whining and whining. I hope he is defeated, at least we won't have to listen to his pathetic droning.

[lunatica]

4. I agree. He's tiresome and boring now

[deacon]

3. He needs an emergency call to the nuthouse to pick him up. n/t

[RKP5637]

8. Can we please include Michele Bachmann too! n/t

[deacon]

14. It seems the lines are very busy. GOP nut overload. n/t

[jmowreader]

21. Only if we put her in a different funny farm

It would be convenient to put Bachmann, McCain, Palin, Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Dick Armey and all the rest in the same place--you could either stick them in a special place in the Badlands where they'd have to run across the desert, or on an old Navy ship anchored off Cape Hatteras so they'd have to swim the most heavily shark-infested waters in America to get back to the mainland. But insanity is cumulative, and eventually it would seep back and infect the rest of us.

[cilla4progress]

31. I think he's following Reagan

right down the Alzheimer's road, sadly.

[madokie]

5. He is not an honorable man

after being captured by the Vietcong he sang like a song bird even though he was aware of the harm he was doing to his fellow prisoners. He only wanted relief for himself, the hell with the others. John mcCain can kiss this 'nam vets ass.

I have as hard of a time reading or watching or listening to him as I do the dick and or w

[spanone]

6. chuck todd said there has always been 'military refernces' in politics

defending the 'crosshairs'

[goclark]

29. Chuck Todd is a Rethug through and through

I watched him this morning ~ his tone regarding anything Republican is a smiley face, anything Democratic is evil to this scum bag.

He loves to give his Poll Numbers a Rethug spin ~ every time.

[Lost4words]

7. He was on CNBC as well, he was saying he loved war

or something to that effect, the interviewer, Karl ?, called him on his do nothing statements. I was plesently surprised!

these pukes are acting like whiney spoiled children.

[AngryOldDem]

10. Yes, I did.

Mr. McCain needs a brief tutorial in the difference between denotation and connotation as they concern words. When you use the word "target" in conjunction with crosshairs, it's pretty damned clear what the meaning/intent is. Also, when you have someone very fond of tossing around hunting metaphors (Palin) using words like "reload," it's also pretty damned clear what the meaning/intent is.

And then he says this kind of stuff has been around since he entered politics.

What particularly disgusted me was his smirk when Ann Curry was talking about the gas pipeline incident.

[catbyte]

13. Yes--McCain YOU are sleazy

What an indescribable piece of excrement he is. That rictus grin of his just gives me the creeps. I really hope he loses his primary.

:puke:

Anishnabe in MI

[Raschel]

25. Rictis grin!!!

:rofl:

[pink-o]

12. Did no one in the MSM get the memo?? McCain LOST the election!

I don't remember the "liberal" media giving this kind of airtime to Al Gore or John Kerry after they lost. And fer fuck's sake Carl PorkyPig Rove was even on MSNBC yesterday in a 15 minute long interview. (know because I was on the treadmill and forced to look that way since the screen was right in front of me). All this coverage makes me sick! These ass hats are LOSERS. They should be crawling back in their holes by now

If a Republican whines and pontificates in the forest and the MSM isn't there to mike him and hang on his every lie does he make a sound?

(edited because I know neither Gore nor Kerry lost their elections. Just writing on the Iphone and tryig to save my thumbs!)

[SoFlaJet]

17. I'm just sick of him

at this point it really doesn't even matter if JD Hayworth ends up the senator from Arizona since McCain has become a bitter and useless old man with NO principle. I would like to see him gone from the senate.

[rurallib]

18. I think he still believes he can nail her.

[barbiegeek]

19. He wants her... Nasty EWWW

[Spazito]

22. McCain will justify whatever Palin does because to do otherwise...

would be an admission he was WRONG in selecting the twit and that would never do.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

30. yes.

He brought her to the dance.

[Inspired]

23. He's running for office and pandering to the primary voters in Arizona,

He's a disingenuous jerk.

[hatrack]

26. It's it was McCain, shouldn't it have been the Yesterday Show?

:shrug:

[yellowcanine]

28. McCain apparently did not learn from his campaign meltdown in 2008 when the "Obama is a Muslim" lady

embarrassed him on national TV at a campaign rally. He deserves whatever political bad karma he gets.

[donco6]

32. I think Curry did a decent job at pressing him on it.

He was getting pissed at her. But all the while, kept that stupid smirk on his face. Bleccch!
