is the one on the media's mind. "Now that you have lost is the wait time shorter at your tire swing?

John McCain is up for re-election in 2010.

I wonder how the 50 State Strategy was in effecting Arizona?

McCain's campaign.
McCain's brain.
McCain's integrity.
McCain's honesty.

We can only conclude that McCain enjoyed being shafted so much by the Bush Administration that he'll do anything for Rush bin Limbaugh the GOP. Anything. Lick your shoes, Mr. Limbaugh? Kiss your arse, Mr. Limbaugh?

Hey Senator, why aren't you capturing Bin Laden?

You've already said you're the only one who know how, and you've already admitted that economics isn't exactly a strong point of yours.

So why don't you go and do something you claim you are good at, and stop doing things you claim you are bad at? In fact, why don't you just go?

...would be for Johnny to round up all of his friends (Georgie, Dickie, Sarah, etc. ) and take them to spend a year or two at a lovely
Arizona sanitarium (i.e., a place where one recovers one's sanity)!!!

if McCain had won, there would be no 'stimulus debate'. most likely he'd be passing a $2T tax cut exclusively for people making $200,000,000 per year or more, and trying to get the SCOTUS to ban the word 'stimulate' outright.

Many Dems are like GOPers in many respects.

the truth is !the republicans didnt intend to win the presidential election ! come on folks wise up, had they wished to win with thier candidate it wouldnt have been by running john mccain and sarah palin or with a clown like joe the plumber, and they wasted very little money pushing thier throw away candidate for the highest office in the land! once again the repigs stuck one in you and you loved it!

That is the ONLY explanation for Sarah Palin: they needed a plausible candidate (McCumstain) and a plausible reason for his failure to win (Palin) to sustain the illusion that they were serious...but of course it was a sham...

Their plan all along was to leave the whole mess on the Dims' plate, clusterfuck the legislative process to ensure that Obama & the Dims failure, and position themselves (what other choice would there be?) for 2010 aaqnd 2012.

But I lay around all night worrying how John McCain is doing.

Is he cheerful? Is his wife still rich? Does he remember where all his homes are? Has he made up with Vicki?

I worry, I know. But damn it, we're talking about something important. We're talking about John McCain!

Thanks for that touching update, Bob. Good to see you've hung onto your priorities.

i thought obama showed great class in how he handled his HUGE win over mr. civilian bomber. which made mccain's complete lack of class all the more apparent in his GOP-hypocritical opportunism

John McCain is now, has been for 20 years or longer nothing more than a bitter, hate filled, loser. He resembles his party and that is why he and not Rush should be the standard bearer of the Grumpy Old Party! This old fossil has no worth or new ideas. And guess what? Yes, once again he totally mirrors his party!

Republicans are practicing forms of demagoguery and guerrilla obstructionism that are intended to destabilize our economy for purposes of political exploitation. Republicans AREN’T making a sincere effort to stop the bleeding their incompetent leadership and failed policies created. Instead, they are using conflicting economic theories as a smokescreen to conceal their real agenda, which is to undermine President Obama and cause him to fail. Republicans are professing their disgraceful political whoring had nothing to do with the banking, real estate, stock market and employment failures that resulted. Republicans are shamelessly trying to block the success of Democratic governance, which is a concerted effort to further damage America, rather than undo or fix its problems. Republicans are offering up subjective controversial arguments they know no one can agree on in order to disrupt and deny constructive change. They want political gridlock for strictly PARTISAN POLITICAL purposes. That’s how they gained power and that’s how they’re trying to retain it. I don’t see them as being the loyal opposition. I see them as an ENEMY WITHIN whose political ambitions have distorted their moral and ethical standards to the point that treachery and betrayal are their preferred weapons of choice. It’s one thing for Republicans to stand up for their conservative beliefs; it’s another thing entirely to deliberately sabotage our government because a successful America would not be vulnerable to the fears and hatreds that created and sustained Republican extremism.

because they have no ideas, they know they are the cause of the economy failing, and they think that it is so bad, any plan, no matter what will fail and they can take credit for being against it.

exactly , the right dirty hand washes the left dirty hand! it certainly is a dog and pony show , like i said good cop bad cop!

Do you know what I think really fuels these kinds of statements? Our politicians seem to think they're *leaders*, rather than representatives. They refer to themselves as "leaders" all the time.

McCain isn't giving any thought whatsoever to the will of the populace-- he's just serving his own personal ideology (and that of his major donors, of course). And why not? I mean, if you think you're a "leader" rather than a representative, why would you bother listening to the peons? You dictate to them, you don't listen to them.

If McCain had won the election he would be shafting the country and making preparations to attack Iran. He also called the stimulus package 'generational theft'. Now isn't that just the pot calling the kettle black. When Bush passed the TARP Plan it was just hunky dory. Now when Obama wants to do basically the same thing, but this time for the country and not the Fat-Cats...it's 'generational theft'. According to some poll, while President Obamas' popularity continues to soar, three out of four people disapprove of the Stimulus Plan. Sounds like Republican propaganda to me. When are these ass hat Republicans going to get out of the way and let Obama do his job? The President his trying his damnedest to make this as bipartisan as possible but they continue to make this an 'us against them' issue, and they wonder why people no longer trust them. The Republicans want Obama to fail and the country also, just so they can say, "ha...we told you so". They want the country to stay divided because that's all they know thanks to Dick & George.

If this nasty old jerk were Prez he would be bombing innocent Iranians the same way he murdered those dangerous, terrorist rice farmers in Vietnam. "I'll fight, fight, fight, and I will make them famous and you will know their names." Fuck you, loser.

Senator John McCain says he, along with other Republicans, were expecting a much smaller stimulus package. He says that it will be a problem for future generations, yet it could help millions of people find jobs right now. He even concedes that this stimulus question is one more about timing than anything else, but he still will not back the stimulus bill.

Maybe it's just me, but if this country ends up passing the proposed stimulus package now, and millions of people find jobs, won't that help later on when spending becomes important again? A smaller package does not seem helpful at all--it seems more like an attempt at the same idea. An attempt that, with its lesser spending, could ultimately fail. Then, no one will be spending at all. Does anyone else see this conflict?

Obama should come out and call him on this because if the shoe was on the other foot that's exactly what McCain and the RNC would be doing.
