Please explain John McCain to me.

[elshiva]

What's this campaign all about? :shrug:

[ghostsofgiants]

1. Alienating as many people as possible?

[elshiva]

3. Maybe.

[pokerfan]

43. Fear and hatred

[Whoa_Nelly]

2. hmmmmm...

[stuntcat]

4. Senility.. that's all

so not much to understand! :shrug: It's the people pushing/backing him up that are the real Question.. that's some crazy shit going on there.

[flvegan]

5. It's about putting another corrupt rich older white guy in the White House.

[elshiva]

8. DING! DING! DING! We have a winner.

:toast: :applause:

[ThomCat]

53. Yes. He feels entitled. It's his turn.

There is supposed to be a show-election and an opponent he can easily defeat, and a rigged election he is guaranteed to win, and then he expects to rule for a while. Then, he gets to step down and go on speaking tour vacations, and sit on the boards of organizations and people give him a lot of money for doing nothing.

That's just the way life is supposed to go for a select few, and John McCain is determined to make it work that way for him to prove that he's part of that elite.

[Lil Missy]

6. Ego. He wants the Title, Obama wants the job.

[AlCzervik]

7. I'll hafta get back to ya on that, Katie.

[Danger Mouse]

9. It's about the hokey pokey.

Since that's what it's ALL about.

[Orsino]

10. It's his TURN, dammit!

Just as it was Dole's turn in '96. When you reach a certain age as a Republican in Congress, you get to be president. I think it's in the Constitution.

[kedrys]

11. Pissing everybody off, you betcha!

Seems to be working so far. :P

[LeftyMom]

12. We owe him. You see, he's been in politics a long time and hasn't died. So it's his turn.

This whole campaign is his extended tantrum about Obama cutting ahead of his rightful place in line.

[leeroysphitz]

13. I don't know but I can tell you this:

His VP pick isn't scary at ALL...





:rofl:

[elshiva]

15. May I ride the snake?

;) :evilgrin:

[leeroysphitz]

20. Did you bring a saddle?

:)

[elshiva]

22. Yes, I did.

I'm always prepared. ;) May I ride it? Please?

[leeroysphitz]

25. definitely...

All aboard!

[elshiva]

27. Thank you. Riding your snake.

:bounce: :bounce: OHHH! ;) :evilgrin:

[leeroysphitz]

28. Aaah.

:evilgrin:

[elshiva]

31. What a big snake you have.

AHH! OOOOH! YES YES! ;) :evilgrin:

[leeroysphitz]

33. My anaconda don't want none if you ain't got buns hon. :)

LOL :)

[elshiva]

34. I've got the buns, all right.

;) :evilgrin:

[Shiver]

56. This dialogue

Is both slightly disturbing and arousing at the same time... :P

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. He's a MAVERICK!!

[billyskank]

55. If he was really a maverick, he'd try running an honest campaign.

Now THAT would really surprise people.

[Deep13]

16. It's about maverichy, maverickness maverickly applied..err...

...you know what? I've got no fucking idea.

[cwydro]

17. In what respect, elshiva?

Hmmm?

[Aristus]

18. A weird, twisted do-over of his 2000 primary campaign.

He's furious about how he got screwed out of the nomination by the Connecticut Cowboy, who also used wealth and privilege to become a bad jet pilot, but didn't have the decency to get shot down over Vietnam and be tortured for five years. This time, by courting the trogs who supported the Clown Prince last time, he managed to win the nomination. Sadly, McCain is not the man he was in 2000 (and I wouldn't have voted for him then, either...) and now that he has the nom, he doesn't know what to DO with it! He's bitter and frustrated that the last eight years were probably also the last eight years of his life in which he could have been a measurably effective President. He's done.

We still have to battle it out with the "Obama's an Ay-rab" psycho hose-beasts right up until Election Day. But I think it's safe to say McCain is done. Just done. I'm almost sorry to assert my belief that he'll live the rest of his life filled with rage and regret...

[elshiva]

23. Good points.

:hug:

[elshiva]

24. Dupe

[Bravo Zulu]

19. Hate!

yoobetcha?

[reyd reid reed]

21. Some things just defy explanation...

:scared:

[Chovexani]

26. He wore an onion on his belt

It was the style at the time.

[leeroysphitz]

29. Classic.

[elshiva]

30. Dear, dear Chovexani! That is the funniest response so far.

:rofl: :toast: How are you?

[Chovexani]

36. I'm good. Better looking at some Faith/Buffy.

:evilgrin:

I'm putting together my Halloween costume...going as a dark elf (again). :hi:

[elshiva]

39. That's wonderful. A dark elf?

Dark as in evil? Do you have any weapons?




Faith: "Kiss me, Buffy! You know you want to."

[Chovexani]

41. They're evil dominatrix elves that live underground, from D&D

Among other places. :)

This was my outfit from last year:



This time I'm tweaking it a bit and styling the wig some, since you couldn't really see my pointy ears too well. I've also got a whip made out of rubber snakes. :D

[elshiva]

42. You are so beautiful and sexy.

:loveya: Where are you in that picture? :hug:

The last time I got dressed up for Halloween was in college for a History project. I dressed up as St. Clare of Assisi, with a brown habit. She was the first Franciscan nun and they wear brown and sandals.

I wish I still had that costume because I'd restyle it to be a fighting nun with a double-bladed axe.
:)

[Chovexani]

44. Aww, thanks!

:blush:

That was at the Arizona Witches Ball last year, at some godsforsaken hotel in Phoenix. The hilarious part was there was a wedding reception going on, the same night. Very conservative Republican crowd too. :rofl: I had so many creepy Young Republican types hitting on me, it was gross.

And your idea sounds amazingly awesome. Axe wielding nuns FTW! :hug:

[elshiva]

45. You are welcome.

Witches Ball sounds like fun. Sorry about the Republicans. Did they try to save you from the satanic grip of witchcraft and bring you to Jesus? ;)

:hug: Yes, axe wielding nuns fighting off the Huns. :)

[Jamastiene]

58. Yowza!

Sex-eee! Me likey. :D

[Neshanic]

32. I never saw that. OMG, I am crying laughing.

[Chovexani]

37. Be sure to watch the other vids

They're just as hilarious. :D

[krispos42]

52. That always makes me laugh!

:rofl:

[Rhiannon12866]

35. IMHO, John McCain was a viable candidate in 2000 and should have had the nomination,

but Bush* stole it from him, just as he stole the election from Gore, with "dirty tricks," like the phone campaign in SC.

Back then, I kind of admired him, since he seemed to take on the administration more than the Democrats did. But that was eight years ago. Since then he has learned that if he had any chance of becoming the Republican nominee, he'd have to do a 180, and has supported Bush* every chance he gets.

I didn't understand it at first, either, but that's how it was explained to me. He's willing to cast aside everything he previously thought and believed for the chance to become president. Unfortunately, age has caught up with him, and he has made one bad decision after another, gets confused, and is obviously no longer even up to the job of being the nominee.

I blame Bush* and his minions for McCain's downfall. McCain says he forgives Bush* for 2000, saw him say this on Larry King, I think, but he had to say this to get what he wanted. I don't forgive Bush*, and neither should he.

That's just the way I see it, my friend. And age hasn't improved his temperament, which is going to cost him this win too...:shrug:

[elshiva]

40. Yes, McCain admitted that he voted 90% of the time for

Bush. Some maverick. :eyes:

[Rhiannon12866]

57. He only did this to curry favor with BFEE. I don't think even he knows what he believes anymore.

Their candidate of preference was Mittens.:eyes:

[ferrferr]

38. Douchebaggery and lies. I think that sums it up.

[bluesbassman]

46. It's all about this happening to us if he takes the oath of office.

[elshiva]

47. I guess that guy represents America.

:scared:

[bluesbassman]

48. Every last one of us I'm afraid.

:mad:

[saras]

49. Kicking the country in the nuts

Personally I think they're just laughing at us. Granted that McCain's liberalism was fake, he had people going for a little while. Imagine what it must be like to be him and have this be the last political move of your life. I think they're just dragging him through the mud for daring to rebel, even a little bit, in the first place.

But mainly they're making America the laughingstock of the world. Even the poorest of third-world nations won't take McCain seriously unless he bombs something big, and even then he's not a leader, he's an idiot with a gun. And you know what happens to an idiot with a gun when they take his gun away...

And what do the "serious" politicians and diplomats of the world think of Palin as VP?

Elvis Costello's song "Tramp The Dirt Down" tells the story nicely from a British perspective.

[madeline_con]

50. He was a POW dammit!

You've just GOT to vote for him!

[krispos42]

51. Obama's preacherman is crazier and hates America more than McCain's preacherman

Oh, and bein' all mavericky.
















Mavrick, you betcha! ;-)

[old mark]

54. He wanted to win at any cost, but he is such a nasty little shit

even those who should be his supporters hate him.
Personally he is a repellant, juvenile little man who takes no responsibility for an wrong, and is furious when others don't give him the respect he feels is his due.

He would be a worse president that even W, and even people high in his party are realising that.

It is about ego, power, and a little mental illness.

And maybe a tiny dick.
