McCain Tweets: ‘Sorry Mr. President,’ My Son’s Dog ‘Not On The Menu’

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) weighed in Thursday on the presidential race’s latest dogfight — about dog meat.

In response to the running controversy about Mitt Romney having once taken his dog for a long family trip in 1983 by tying the dog’s carrier to the top of a car, some conservatives have highlighted a quote from President Obama’s memoirs, in which he briefly discussed his boyhood experience of having been fed dog meat by his stepfather in Indonesia.

McCain, whom Obama defeated in 2008, has now posted this message on Twitter, linking to a slideshow of various politicians’ pet dogs over the years:

@SenJohnMcCain

Good pic of my son Jimmy's bulldog, Apollo - I'm sorry Mr. President, he's not on the menu! politi.co/HVhK9Z

Classy. Having McCain on the campaign trail is good news for Rmoney. I hope he helps to pick Rmoney's running mate.

1. Maybe ole John can be Mitt's sidekick and veep.

[hlthe2b]

2. What an absolute ass. n/t

[Politicalboi]

3. Still stupid Johnny?

You just can't make this shit up. Go ahead and move with this story. I wonder how many dogs Johnny ate while "captive" in those whore houses, I mean prisons.

[russspeakeasy]

26. "captive" ? Johnny is a lying sack of shit.

I guess if you say it enough, it becomes true...

[liberal N proud]

4. The GOP is acting like a bunch of 12 year old boys.

[Xyzse]

5. Regarding this

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=553385

In a prior topic, it was discussed that one of Mitt's friends killed a dog for eating, while insinuating that it was due to drunkenness and just plain douchery.

Where, I considered eating dog due to culture was fine.
It is different when you are a child fed something to being a grown man doing something to be a jack@ss.

I liked the 2000 McCain, he became ridiculous circa 2006.

[Little Star]

6. I never cared for McCain but since he lost..

to President Obama he is worse than I ever remember him being. It seems now that he knows he'll never have a chance at the presidency he's showing his true colors.

I use to think he was just a phony with all that moderate crap. I never understood how people couldn't see how phony he was. Now he doesn't even fake being moderate anymore. He's a piece of shit! Ugh!

[CBGLuthier]

7. at least President Obama never blew up an aircraft carrier

and killed 134 men.


So long as we are casting dispersion upon youthful "indiscretions."

[former9thward]

12. Just because McCain makes a stupid tweet doesn't mean we have to make up history.

McCain never "blew up an aircraft carrier and killed 134 men." The rocket was fired from a plane across the deck from McCain and struck the plane parked next to him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_USS_Forrestal_fire

[CBGLuthier]

14. Yeah that was the official explanation

Hell of a lot of other men say otherwise.

[former9thward]

25. Then you will link to those "hell of a lot of other men" won't you?

[Lawlbringer]

8. How can they even really make it into an issue?

Being fed something as a child is different from if he ordered it served last week, then shot the White House chef if they protested.

Romney was an adult and making his own informed decision.

[fishwax]

32. it's pathetic

One incident is the story of a 6-year-old kid in an unfamiliar environment. The other is the story of an adult inflicting trauma on a dog. These are supposed to be comparable somehow?

[sadbear]

9. I don't think republicans want what a 6-year-old does to be fair game.

I'm sure a great deal of republican politicians were animal torturers in their youths.

[Dawson Leery]

10. Vietcong/Keating 5 McCain is well past his due date.

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Huh McCain surely has no leg to stand

I am sure he was fed some things he did not want to ask what it was as a POW... Yup, that might have included rat and dog

And I would blame him for it as much as a six year old, aka none at all.

[Bluerthanblue]

19. ha!! you make a great point-

well done.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

13. Classy. Very statesman-like. Keep up the good work, Senator.

[spanone]

15. he brought in palin because she was his intellectual superior

[TlalocW]

16. Still bitter, old man?

Soon your political career will be over, and any good vibes from you (POW, so-called maverick) will be overshadowed by your bitterness over losing the presidency by making stupid comments like these, doing everything you can to keep DADT alive even when the military told you they wanted to abandon it, etc.

[cbdo2007]

18. and what did he eat as a POW for 5 years????

Should make for some nice jokes.

[Rex]

20. McCain the Epic Failure should know when to speak up and

when to shut up. Evidently he still needs to learn a thing or two.

[libinnyandia]

21. McCain needs to get a life. He would be much better off spending time golfing

rather than tweeting, even if Romney thinks playing golf is a waste of time.

[rufus dog]

22. No dog is on the menu John, but your sorry ass is!

And you got served in the last election.

[KamaAina]

23. Oh go get Chinese food, loser

[GoCubsGo]

24. So, he is likening Romney's decision-making skills...

...to that of a 9-year-old boy? Interesting. But, par for the course from the guy who thought Sarah Palin was the best choice for a Vice Presidential candidate.

[DefenseLawyer]

27. See, He's a FOREIGNER! Get it?

He eats dogs and worships Allah. Very Subtle. Stay classy San Diego.

[Release The Hounds]

28. And that is funny....how?

[Angry Dragon]

29. another idiot heard from

little johnney is just a bitter old man

[Warren DeMontague]

30. If republicans don't want people eating dog

They should stop trying to destroy Medicare and social security.

[fishwax]

31. Wow. What an ass.

[Lawlbringer]

33. Your son's dog isn't

but what about your daughter's kittycat?


I hate to be so lewd, but as much of a right wing dolt Meghan is, she is so freaking hot lol
