Discussion: Sen. McCain: 'This Is My Last Term'

Here is one of the alternate selections.

Lieberman was mentioned as a possible Vice Presidential nominee on a McCain ticket.[16][17][18] ABC News reported that Lieberman was McCain’s first choice for Vice President until several days before the selection, when McCain had decided that picking Lieberman would alienate the conservative base of the Republican Party, due to his left-of-center positions on social issues.[19] Lieberman had been mentioned as a possible Secretary of State under a McCain administration.[20]

Again…(and I can’t believe this needs to be pointed out to an adult)

Bombing for military targrts against combatants, even with unintentional collateral damage is not even the same ball park as rounding up civilians because of their religion enslaving them then gassing them to death.

Your comparison was stupid, childish and undercuts any good point you may have buried in your missive.

Lieberman killed Gore. What a “great” idea, you need some of that southern KKK mentality vote, and you pick a Jew for a running mate. Beyond stupid. Jewish gets the NE vote, and Democrats already had that.

I’ve said it more than once in this forum: McCain could have become an effective leader, a “lion of the Senate,” but as the ancients told us, character is destiny. His character --or lack thereof – made him into just another pol voting party over everything that might be decent or humane.

The reason he isn’t is that Arizona law is such that if he dies or resigns before June 1, there’s no special election this year; whoever is appointed stays until 2020. And it also says that the appointee must be of the same party. So as long as he lives another month, he guarantees the seat stays Republican for several more years regardless of the voters’ changes, including possibly electing a D governor.

Phooey to that. That’s just liberal supersitition masking as “being the better person,” which is supposed to prove something about something to the self-satisfied.

He supports an unfit, unqualified, racist birther scumbag: the worst in US history. He voted to put you and your familiy into economic slavery, voted to take away your healthcare (while he’s gettin’ the best treatment), voted to take away your protections from the bank, voted for our unpaid-for Iraqi Expedition based on lies, and for his constituents in Arizona, has not made their lives better in any single way.

Overrated, inflated ego who rode his POW status into a career and let it get attacked and said nothing. He embraced (literally) Bush, embraced (figuratively) the Scumbag, and now he’ll embrace oblivion.

He ain’t the first one taking that final journey, he ain’t the last, and he ain’t getting crocodile tears as if he were.

Ah. Ok. But weren’t the Republicans in the AZ statehouse trying to do something to rig it in their favor recently?

Yes; I forget what, but it failed.
