McCain: Hillary Would Be Good President

#11  Well, she would.

Of Canada. Or Sweden. Or Frogistan.

#10  But he was a POW! And it wasn't his Zunni! And he didn't take any money. So there.

#9  The only reason McCain got elected in the first place, and keeps getting elected, is that the AZ Republican party won't give a *dime* to any candidate--they have to pay their own way. And McCain's wife is loaded, much like you know who. As to him being a Republican: he would be a Leninist-Trotskyite if it would get him elected.

#8  On the other hand, the Hillery care that wasn't was actually less harmfull than the McCain-Feingolg that was.

#7  This is much ado about nothing. McCain was just being polite. "Senatorial courtesy" is a good thing. It means nothing at all.

#6  The problem is that we can't make it with just a 'good' president. Events demand we have, from a historical perspective, a great president. A good care taker who does no harm is insufficient and dangerous in the long run in the contemporary environment.

#5  Senatorial courtesy. They all fawn all over each other because they know that once a century one of them actually does get elected president. But otherwise what they say is irrelevant.

#4  Scrappleface was my first thought, too.

Although sometimes I wonder whether we're too hard on people who do genuinely try to reach out to the other side of the aisle - are we any different than the Democrats who censure those who reach out to the Republicans?

And then I read some of McCain's lunatic quotes, here and other places, and I wonder why I ever wondered in the first place. It's not the reaching-out that's the problem, it's their judgement and common sense - or lack thereof.

#3  Lol, AzCat! Well, no one ever suggested he wouldn't go out a vicious, arrogant, self-centered, bitter old fool. I guess this seals the silly notion that he ever gave a rat's ass for the men and women in the US Military. Wotta Prick.

#2  Sounds more like the death knell of McCain's White House aspirations to me. The media will continue to fawn but methinks that comment alone sealed his political fate once and for all (if there was any doubt left).
