1. Yea, McCain's 15 minutes have come and gone.

How adolescent......Anyone who votes for Arnold is in that catagory!

[VermontDem2004]

[DEM FAN]

[mac56]

7. Same here.

Any scrap of credibility he may have had is now gone.

[sangh0]

10. Why would anyone think McCain had any principles?

He's a Republican for chrissakes!

[leesa]

34. No shit! This asshole has been lockstep with Bush all the way!

[Myra]

45. Good point sangh0

The two are irreconcilable.

[Loyal]

21. Mine too

:(

[are_we_united_yet]

42. me too

[RobertSeattle]

3. Nothing like Party Over Principal

Those that GOP together, GrOPe together.

[underpants]

5. Way to be a stand up inedependent guy Senator

What time is that bandwagon leaving anyway?

[Catherine Vincent]

9. That's a good slogan. You should have bumper stickers printed!

[dArKeR]

46. It's 'Open Tit Season' on women is CA. That's what McImmoral is supporting

[dfong63]

6. did anyone ask McCain whether he condoned groping?

[Dr Fate]

35. He spoke out about Clinton's CONSENSUAL relationships...

...and even voted for all 3 articles of Impeachment- what a hypocrite...

[revcarol]

11. Has McCain suddenly become a resident of California?

Arizona, you have lucked out!! Now you can elect a Democrat instead of a warmonger.

[realFedUp]

12. Well, at least they are defining themselves

pretty damn clearly.
I guess we can thank Arnold for this.

[incapsulated]

13. *sigh*

How disappointing. He didn't have to, for the "team". He's not from CA, nobody cares what he thinks. Well, it's not the first time he's pissed me off royally.

Why you do dis johnny?

:cry:

[LevChernyi]

14. actually..

McCain is the kiss of death to the base. They think he is a commie liberal. I expect McClintock to get a bump out of this.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

15. Manchurian candidate endorser?

good god the man's finally lost his marbles. :crazy:

[xxqqqzme]

16. well mayB McCain

can get steroid boy 2 run 4 governor in AZ - get him the hell out of CA.

[atreides1]

31. No Thanks

You guys in CA can keep him, we have enough pecker headed Rethugs here
in AZ. I would personally like to see both McCain and Kyle along with all the Rethug Representatives find themselves a new job where they would really have to work.

Oh well, we can dream.

[FARAFIELD]

17. i read mcains statement

He said he hopes to have a powerful ALLY in Lamenegger? sheesh! Besides who the hell thinks Ahnold is independent since he was seen kissing the ass of simon, and issa et al.

[Loyal]

22. Arnold is

a Republican thug, being touted as a moderate.

[GreenGreenLimaBean]

18. John finally moves to the Dark Side

"Feel the Anger John, Its making you strong, good, now feel the hate"

McCain can now go fuck himself.

[FARAFIELD]

19. one more thought

Im starting to have a real growing respect for Venturas governer campaign. He ran as an independent and didnt seek endorsements. lamenegger would accept anyones endorsement at this point if he felt it would get him a vote. THe sight and sounds of him clapping for ISSA were enough to make me wretch.

[Loyal]

20. Ew

I liked McCain, somewhat. I don't anymore.

[madmax]

23. I've lost all respect for Sen. McCain

[Flying_Pig]

24. So the rat's really show their true colors......

Something happened to McCain last year. I think PNAC got to him, or something. Regardless, now he can be hated by both the right, and the left. John won't have any friends left soon, and I'll bet he retires at the end of this term.

[davidinalameda]

25. and some on here wanted McCain as Dean's VP

:freak:

[truthisfreedom]

26. McCain has very poor judgement, apparently.

if the gropernor gets in, it's just going to be one big circus.

[last_texas_dem]

27. My opinion of McCain tumbles lower and lower everytime he opens his mouth

First, he ends up supporting * after the disgusting smear campaign *'s boys ran against him in the 2000 primary in South Carolina.

Then he comes across like an abrasive warmonger (probably w/ little effort on his part) during the debates over the Iraq resolution. I found his condescending rhetoric towards Byrd particularly disgusting.

Now he's endorsing the Grope-inator for Governor.

If the first idiotic behavior he exhibited was just him being a good party man, and the second was just him acting upon principles, can there be ANY justification for him throwing his support behind that idiot blowhard "Ahh-nuld"? McCain doesn't even live in Cal-i-for-ni-a, durnit! He had no obligation to throw his support behind the-Sex-Fiend-Who-Would-be-Governor, so apparently his admiration for this idiot is just straight from his heart. How precious...

[joycep]

28. My mouth is wide-open

I have been so angry about the way Bush treated him but it looks like they are two of a kind!

[punpirate]

29. I think this has got a lot to do with...

... the fact that Pete Wilson is running his campaign. McCain sees _him_ as the political brains behind Schwarzenegger, and most of the Repugs loved Wilson, whose policies, I recall, were to cut essentials to the bone, and with regard to taxes, favor businesses over individuals. Classic fiscal arch-conservative, sort of like McCain.

Cheers.

[Dr Fate]

30. McCain voted for all 3 articles of Impeachment when it was Clinton...

Of yeah- it was "the Lie" ABOUT "the sex", not just "the sex" by itself...

[Unknown Known]

32. McCain jumped the shark a long time ago

This POS voted against the Harken amendment for workers' overtime.

Can we all please get past this guy? Who cares what John McCain thinks:mad:

[joanski01]

40. McCain also voted against

the Biden/Chafee amendment to take the $87 billion for the Iraq war and rebuilding from the $687 billion tax cut for the rich. Actually, six Democratic Senators voted against the amendment.

[Boomer]

33. Last nail in the coffin

My former regard for McCain has been steadily deteriorating over the course of the last two years. This pretty much ends even the whisper of respect that I still held for him. Obviously his ethics are restricted to a very narrow window about campaign finance and don't encompass other more general areas of human behavior.

--Boomer

[RaRa]

38. Ditto

The very little respect I had for him is completely gone. A true whore. A sad day.

[peacetalksforall]

36. Non-person or just another right winger, maybe not in on the cabal

his words hold no meaning

[whathappened]

37. what happened to this man

he has been in the treches and has been a pow , why is he being so kind to these ring wing nuts who belittled him well he an for jr. job , i just can't get this thru my think skull , whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[goforit]

39. Then why didn't McCain endorse Clinton and Monica Lewinski?

Hmmmmmm.......

It is only OK for Repugs to break the moral code!!!!

F*Cking jerks!!!

[gauguin57]

41. well ...

It's the end of the world.

[2cents]

43. Geez - that's sad.

He prostrated himself before one fool and now he's carrying the water for another.

And to think he could have been a contender--very sad.

[The_Casual_Observer]

44. McCain is a hollow suit

He is an image without an ounce of substance just like Like AS.

Suffers brain damage I would guess, again just like AS

[mushroomhead]

47. McCain goes his own way, like always. n/t

[Democat]

48. His own way like all of the other hypocritical right wingers?

How exactly is blindly following the right wing hypocrites going his own way?

[roguevalley]

49. I'll probably get slapped for this but McCain doesn't respect women

either.

Remember, he was in the can in Nam for years and the wife selflessly raised very good kids alone. He comes home, she gets hurt and basically loses her looks -to HIM, not me- and he has an affair on the side with current wife.

She is rich, attractive and so he comes to the wife and divorces her, the one who was steadfast all the years he was in the klink. He goes and has this bigger life- the one he knew he wouldn't have as easily without rich wife and her important political family- so he dumps this woman who spent and may still spend time walking on crutches. During the campaign for prez, she held her tongue and didn't tell everyone what a total dick he was because she loves her children more than she must hate him.

He's a classless ass hole in my opinion because on the most basic level, to the one who should matter the most he failed for his own selfish reasons. He cheated on his wife. What is it to him backing
a squeeze box like Arnold?

He's been a dick for a very, very long time, my friends. A long, long, long, long time. His first wife is a good woman who deserved better. God bless her.

[laylah]

50. Well,

there goes my respect for him out the window!

[0007]

51. That's it!

Your fired Mr. McCain.

This man is a complete half-wit.

[cosmicdot]

52. for me, just further confirms the real McCain

[dbt]

53. Jesus Harold Christ, McCain!

Have you no shame, sir?
