John McCain was on my flight

[Doctor_J]

to Phoenix last week. He's kind of a smallish guy, as I guess most pilots are, the better to fit into fighter cockpits.

He was sitting in coach with a very small entourage. Unfortunately the flight was full, so I wasn't able to get near enough to bend his ear about coming over to the Clark camp. He has so much integrity, I bet he knows deep down that four more years of * may ruin the country for a generation or more. I bet he would endorse Clark.

1. He is a Repug first, integrity be damned. n/t

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

2. He's a politician first and his state is leaning a bit centrist Dem

He's a Repug. Repug and "integrity" are mutually exclusive, for the most part.

Once in a while he can be counted on to buck the bigger fascists. But not all THAT often.

3. Good Thinking...You are right he is rather smallish...

I'm sure he'd endorse as well but then KKKarl would do a push poll and say he molested his daughter or that killed eats babies and ate them. Then the endorsement would be tainted.


Thanks KKKarl, I'm sure you are watching.

4. I have respect for McCain ...

and hearing that he travels coach has strengthened that respect. I was really pulling for him in 2000. I personally didn't think Gore could be beaten by any of the Repukes (which he wasn't).

I would not have voted for McCain, but I certainly would have preferred him over AWOL.

5. He will endorse a republican.

I don't know if it will be Clark, though.

11. that deserves an evil grin

:evilgrin:

[NewYorkerfromMass]

6. There is no way he would endorse Clark

for he is too beholden to the GOP machine. And contemporary Ted Williams (aka the Splendid Splinter) not so short at 6'-3.

7. the lionization of McCain escapes me

Sure, in the 2000 GOP race I wanted him to beat Bush. But that was like watching Celebrity Boxing and rooting for Greg Brady to upset Danny Partridge. McCain's much-lauded integrity is measured against a Bush, for God's sakes. Please, leave the Republicans to praise their own kind.

[bowens43]

Just what we need in the democratic party

another guy who doesn't know what party to support. He clark would be perfect together. I'm sorry, but I won't vote for anyone who hasn't been a dem longer then I have.

8. oops, dupe

[JackRiddler]

9. Oh, geez...

Get McCain to endorse Clark? Why not, they're like twins.

Didn't you have anything more useful to say, like:

HEY McCAIN YOU WERE SO TOUGH CALLING BUSH A COWARD ON SEPT. 11 AND SAYING UA 93 WAS ON ITS WAY TO THE CAPITOL, NOT THE WHITE HOUSE. YOU WERE RIGHT ON BOTH COUNTS! WHY DON'T YOU COME OUT NOW AND SPILL THOSE 9/11 BEANS BUT GOOD? LET'S HAVE THE REAL STORY OF WHAT BUSH KNEW AND WHO WAS REALLY INVOLVED!

[MoonAndSun]

10. McCain is my senator and I do not admire or like him. He allowed

AWOL to take this country to war, even after his experiences in Vietnam. He will always be a repuke first. Everything else is a distant second.

[Spazito]

12. McCain is a repub in every way....

he supports Bush in all important issues, puts up a front on a few that don't really make a difference.

His straight talk is all double talk, imo.

[Timefortruth]

13. He campaigned for Jeb

You don't need to know anything else.

[AP]

14. Correct me if I'm wrong: McCain didn't have much integrity during S&L B.S.

He may have had the sense to hate Bush, and see him as a threat to the American way. But, he's certainly earned his stripes as a conservative Republican.

[RichM]

16. You are falling for a pleasant TV image. McCain didn't even have the

integrity to expose Bush's dirty tricks in the NY and SC primaries in 2000, when HE HIMSELF was the victim of these tricks. He's precisely the same sort of treacherous slimeball as Clinton -- he looks pretty on TV, but sells you out every time, when the chips are down. (Clinton, too, didn't have the guts to expose the VRWC, even when HE HIMSELF was the victim of their filthy tricks.)

[devinsgram]

18. Right on,

he only thinks about covering his own *ss. He could have stopped the idiot-in-chief if he just would have stood up against what they did. I thought he was a pretty good guy till I found out what happened in those primaries, now I have no sympathy for him.

[TexasMexican]

17. McCain is cool

I like McCain.
