Am I the only one who thinks McCain is a little creepy??
The scary smile and laugh gives my wife the creeps.

His laugh is like some nutty scary guy.

I cannot wait to see Obama tear him up in a face to face!

3. there's a very stalker esque quality to him.
I'm not seeing the "charm" that reporters speak so highly of.

10. I think they're seeing that "charm" through a booze infused filter. nt

Tucker Carlson (ugh) once said that the McCain campaign always provides reporters with plenty of free booze.

6. And those odd little pauses, when he says something and then before he remembers to smile,
and then when he does smile, it's like, click, on comes this big cheesy smile, and then, click, smile off.

VERY weird!

7. Creepy in a scary, evil, neocon sort of way.
Except that this man is even stupider than Bush. Seriously.

11. Yes, you are.
I don't think he's a little creepy - I think he's A LOT CREEPY!

And his voice is like nails going down a chalkboard while Roseanne Barr sings opera and Fran Drescher laughs.

. . . oh yeah!" yada, yada . . . .

21. -snort- Today someone asked him why Viagra was covered and
birth control wasn't.... He looked at the ceiling, hemmed & hawed and finally said he had no answer for that (hadn't studied it or something like that) My FIRST thought was that no one had told him what to say to that one yet...

39. Imagine....
if that was his blank stare, silence, deer in the headlights, confused and stumbeling reaction to a simple fairness question about viagra and birth control, then imagine the 3am crisis telephone call reaction....if he were president. Now that is a truly creepy scenario.

47. they are yucky. the weird thing is he really is a "dead" candidate, too.
there is no way he can win. it's hard for him to come up for air, let alone get air time. Obama is hittin' it every day.

The false scripted laugh, the grimace that is supposed to look like a smile. Scary stuff.

27. This isn't nice.. But his voice reminds me of a dirty old man..
And yeah, that laugh you mentioned is pretty gross too.

But that voice.

ACK!!! Just like one of them >>

And forgive me if I've sinned for saying this...

...but dirty old man is what it sounds like.

Ok, I'll go into the penalty box now for two minutes because that comment was so mean.

Bad Larissa. Bad, Bad, BAD!!! Shame on me. (but it's true)

28. He's been drugged into submission, so he doesn't get angry or blurt
things out. Sometimes it fails, of course--but usually, it results in vacant stares, time-delayed reactions and responses, and facial expressions that do not coincide with his words.

29. Reminds me of Bill Kristol.
Are they related? Check their DNA. Both are equally unintelligent.

Seeing either one of them forcing smiles is :puke:able.

being in a box for 6 years, getting tortured and eating bugs, has to fuck you up in some way.

And I don't mean in a good way.

45. Jokes
When he jokes, it is definitely uncomfortable. But that usually has to do with the fact that he is joking about killing people half the time.

Otherwise, I don't find his appearance that creepy. His interest in continuing neocon foreign policy and calling our battle against "militant Islam" a transcendental struggle is very very troubling. No one would call the ethnic cleansing in Serbia and our intervention, our effort to contain Militant Christianity.

48. He's aged fifteen years in six months... he's losing his marbles
bet he doesn't make it to November...

creepy? Probably, since his incarceration... he's used his victim status to justify his pre-sixties misogyny and machismo... self indulgence and abusiveness...

On the other hand...I think all the harping on the age thing is creepy beyond words. I'm not without a sense of humor but McCain isn't the only thing getting old... these fuckin' age jokes need to go.

Despite all the liberal posturing... the fact is, we're a nation of self-unconscious, youth worshipping, vain, shallow, materialistic, pop culture consumers...

Hitler youth...

50. My Ditto Head Cousin Does Not Like Him
During the primaries I asked her who she was going to vote for. She didn't know yet, but it wouldn't be McCain. She said she shook his hand at a Republican function and it was like shaking a limp fish. He gives me the creeps also - he's going to blow (I pray) before the election. His wife's eyes are so cold looking. They're not an attractive couple at all.
