My thoughts exactly!

[jllundqu]

As a citizen of Arizona.... I apologize ahead of time to the world. His deep money and name brand will keep him in office as long as he wants, literally. No one can take him on because most people here in AZ are idiots who believe what Fox news tells them.

[AuH20]

A long unnatural life as senator making the life of others miserable. This is getting Shakespearean.

[surf]

I was really hoping it was for President (of the Surprise Hills AZ retirement community Homeowners Association)

[ILUVRP]

i'm in az and the people here keep voting for this clown .

[morfeeis]

As a resident of AZ i can tell you this right now.
1: i will vote for anyone else upto and including a communist monkey in a space suit with an i love Obama hat on before i would vote for McCain
2: the people of AZ will give him another term.

[brushfire]

Just about had it with "That one"... but I guess if the citizens of AZ dont address the problem, time eventually will.

McCain is a very good ally for us on the domestic fronts. Even though I disagree with his policies 95% of the time, he helps undercut the reactionary wing (Cruz, Paul, Walker) of the GOP. So McCain 2016!!!

[Ronin Truth]

Take a nap John, you had your shot.

[Natural Citizen]

Grrrrr. Time cannot move fast enough. :cool:

[Aspie Minarcho-Capitalist]

YES!! More corporate bailouts, more state-monopolistic corporate fascism, more "free trade" agreements, more unfathomable government spending, more imperialism, more corrupt social welfare redistribution to big business and CEO'S, more drug wars, more globalism, more military Keynesianism, more supranationalism, more over-abundant interventionism, more burdensome taxes for earned income, more illegal wars, more trickle down effects, more incapacitating regulations, more unconstitutionality, more Orwellian nanny statism, more infringements on the Bill of Rights, more bureaucratic agencies, more illegal immigration...can't wait! :rolleyes:

[JakeH]

Maybe the good Lord will help us out with this one.

[Acala]

As a resident of Arizona, I am so sorry. He makes me ill.

What could possibly go wrong?

The fact that you would support a man who lusts after the death of countless innocent people overseas says a great deal about your character.

[heavenlyboy34]

The good thing is that if McShame wins the nomination, potential voters for Rand can rally behind Vermin Supreme. :D

I hope that was a joke.

Paul and Cruz are two bright spots in congress for me, they are the only people trying to slow down this train wreck.

[Thor]

Take a nap John, you had your shot.

Dirt nap...

[erowe1]

Is there any possible way, any way at all, that he could be convinced to run for president again?

Even if that's highly unlikely, its probability must be higher than any other thing that could keep him from staying in the Senate, besides his inevitably impending incapacitation due to age.

I doubt that you disagree with his policies very much at all. You are blinded by the letter after his name.

[cindy25]

one benefit is he will have to campaign in AZ instead of helping Graham

John McCain is the real world General Ripper of the Senate. (Dr. Strangelove)

Consider the source. Not a joke. There are people who actually think like that. Astonishing as that may be to rational persons. :(

[erowe1]

I don't see that as a benefit. Graham will probably not make it past the Iowa Straw Poll. But if he does, then the better he performs, the better it is for Rand.

That's true, he will draw the Jebbulytes and the Hawky-er Huckleberries.

[libertarianMoney]

I wouldn't be too worried. He got so brutalized during his last election, I can't even imagine him being a serious contender. No sane person would vote for...

Okay... I take that back. I think I'm too worried :(

[Unknownuser]

He also officially endorsed Lindsey Grahm for president yesterday even though Grahm hasn't officially come out. What a dick.

I don't know if Graham will ever officially "come out"

[Todd]

my thoughts exactly. I doubt many Democrats like him have the full capacity to understand just how close guys like McCain, Graham, Clinton, Obama and Warren really are in political philosophy. .

[mrsat_98]
