Under what circumstances might you pity John McCain?

[DFW]

I have one:

[benddem]

1. he might be better off

or at least * could provide his cheat cards...cause gok mcLame isn't doing so well.

[World Citizen]

maybe...

if he was waterboarded...... I'm not sure

[me b zola]

17. Nope.

I gave him wide berth because he was tortured and stood up to the bush* administration to oppose torture--until he sought his party's nomination. The fact that McCain reversed on such a huge issue that not many Americans have been subjected to because he seeks power, I would not shed a tear for him if he found himself in similar circumstances again.

[Labors of Hercules]

2. I already pity him,

But if he wins the Presidency, I will hate him with the ferocity of a thousand grizzly bears.

[still_one]

3. none, he made his bed let him sleep in it. /by

[philosophie_en_rose]

4. I would pity him for any personal tragedies.

I would be sorry for him, if he or his family were physically ill or something similar happened. I have zero pity for anything else.

[polichick]

5. It's easy to pity him now...

What an out-of-control ego he must have, or a desperate need to prove himself ~ or some other driving pathology!

The man has NO VISION, NO IDEAS, NO EMPATHY for his fellow Americans ~ WTF is he running for???

[ClassWarrior]

6. If that alien in his cheek bursts forth in public.

That'd be embarrassing.

NGU.

[DFW]

8. It would blow said alien's cover

So far it gets away with speaking for him, and no one has noticed up to now.

[ClassWarrior]

26. Yeah, but if it sneezed or something...

After all, it WAS the common cold that brought down the Martians in "War of the Worlds." (Sorry if I just spoiled the ending for anyone...)

NGU.

[BrklynLiberal]

7. I pity his first wife...because of what he did to her.

[DFW]

10. I hear you on that one!

Much as it was not my intention to inject a serious note into this thread,
for that alone, women should be avoiding him like the plague.

[zbdent]

9. if only the voters who truly believed in BushCain's policies would vote for him ...

and the resulting landslide was confirmed at 11:05pm EST ... making the 1984 Mondale loss look close ...

[L0oniX]

11. - 0 -

[senseandsensibility]

12. Under all circumstances

but then, I'm a bleeding heart liberal.

[billyoc]

13. He is one of my mortal enemies and he would not think twice about killing me for money.

There are no circumstances under which I could pity him.

[scheming daemons]

14. I pity how the GOP will treat him after he loses the election...

Talk about your pariahs.

They don't like him already, and are just pretending to in order to beat Obama.


But if and when Obama defeats him, they'll tear his skin off.

[mrs_p]

15. i pity him

when he does things that makes him look like he has dementia - reminds me too much of when my gramps' (the best man i've ever known) alzheimer's was obvious. that said, if he won the election, my pity stick would be very short.

[RT Atlanta]

16. If his wife ditched him...

for a young beer heir 17 years her junior....

No wait, I think I would laugh instead.

[LWolf]

18. Under any circumstance that I would pity any other human being. nt

[Overseas]

19. No. No pity for John Sidney McCain III with his seven homes. /eom

[mtnester]

20. On jugement day, as I do ALL of them wingnuts

I feel sorry for their utter surprise when told "sorry, no admittance for YOU"

[Imagevision]

21. Absolutely none!

[City Lights]

22. I'm drawing a blank...nt

[Midlodemocrat]

23. If he lost a child or grandchild.

That's probably it.

[Orangepeel]

24. Politically, not even if he loses all 50 states. I'd have pity due to any personal tragedy.

unless and until he tried to use it for political gain.

[Avalux]

25. No circumstances. He deserves whatever he gets.

I had a conversation with my dad about McCain's time as a POW. My dad stated that just because McCain was a POW and endured pain and suffering - doesn't mean he is a good person.

[Neshanic]

27. If flying monkeys nested in a palm tree and shit all over his lawn.

[anonymous171]

28. When the media abandons him.

In other words, never.

[Orsino]

29. Back when he was a POW.

Since then, perhaps, as he has had to deal with PTSD and the most horrible spectacle of all: watching himself sell off little bits of his soul to the highest bidders. If there's still a conscience in there, or if there ever was one, it is/was in agony.

[TankLV]

30. when he was POW - nothing since then. Sorry...no not sorry...

he's always been a fucking piece of shit...

[ecstatic]

31. If he shits on himself during Obama's inauguration?

Can't think of much else...

[DFW]

32. What, you think he won't be prepared?

What do you think diapers are for, anyway?

[nc4bo]

33. I've been thinking about this since the thread was posted and I've come to the conclusion....

that there are no circumstances where I would feel mcSame is worthy of my pity.

Sorry.

[DFW]

34. The OP was idle curiosity at best

The pic meant never having to say you're sorry..........

(sort of a catchy phrase--I should use it in a book or something)

[CitizenLeft]

35. barring any tragedy...

...none whatsoever.

[TexasObserver]

36. I pity the fool ...

... who has to change his diaper at 3 AM.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

37. When he is the fool.

Which is often.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

38. Maybe if he fell off the podium into the crowd like Bob Dole did

when he was supposed to address an audience in Chico, California in the 1996 election. I felt bad for Bob Dole when that happened, although I have to admit that I laughed a lot, too.

[quakerboy]

39. Already do.

PTSD is a terrible problem to have. So is any form of cancer. So is republicanism.
