Oh fuck! AHAHAHAHA! McCain called himself a proud liberal Republican!

[originalpckelly]

:rofl:

Isn't that like him giving himself the kiss of death or something? :P

1. It was a priceless moment. What will Rush and Sean have to say?

:rofl:

[originalpckelly]

5. I don't know, but now I do know he's officially too old.

This is worse than Perot's running mate, Admiral Stockdale saying, "Who am I? Why am I here?"

[liberal N proud]

2. That is in itself an oxymoron

Coming from a moron.

liberal & republican, not possible.

[ramapo]

31. More like an obsolete phrase

There were once upon a time liberal Republicans, Clifford Case of NJ, Jacob Javits or NY, John Lindsey, NYC Mayor are three that come to mind

[Ordr]

3. Ouch.

Smooth one, McCain.

[originalpckelly]

7. Yep...

this old bird needs to be taken off the shelf, he's past his date!

[Lasher]

4. Actually it's true if you take the term literally.

Today's Republicans are fiscal liberals.

[skipos]

6. No, they are fiscally irresponsible.

There is a difference.

[Lasher]

12. Same thing in this case.

Liberal tax cuts for rich cronies, liberal deficit spending. Conservatives are supposed to conserve something. I can't think of anything good this bunch has conserved.

[skipos]

24. They have tried to conserve their own asses

and they even suck at that.

[Lasher]

25. You got that right

But I said 'anything good' and their asses are no good. And you know what, they suck at everything.

All ya gotta do is look at the numbers and be smarter than a rock. But there are still many who do not meet that qualification. Amazing, how people don't just laugh Junior off the podium when he says something like, "The economy is booming because the tax cuts are working."

[Jack Rabbit]

8. Senator, I knew Nelson Rockefeller. Rocky was a friend of mine.

And Senator, you're no Nelson Rockefeller.

[originalpckelly]

9. Senator, I knew dirt. Dirt was a friend of mine.

And Senator, you're older than dirt!

[Jack Rabbit]

20. Are you addressing McCain or me?

Either one of us is older than dirt.

[originalpckelly]

21. Are you running for President?

:P

[Jack Rabbit]

29. Not this year

[rox63]

10. I honestly can't wait to see him on a debate stage with our nominee

The contrast will be amazing. :wow:

[Eurobabe]

11. "I am a conservative liberal Republican" BWAHAHAA!!!

Hey John, your freudian slip is showing.

[YOY]

13. ...

[MADem]

14. Eh, don't be so sure this is a BAD thing.

Sounds like nudge, nudge, wink wink to me.

"Psssst....all you GOP types who aren't worried about Jesus, could give a shit about war, and are just worried about YOUR MONEY...I'm the LIBERAL guy for you, in that I will be liberal in ensuring that you aren't overtaxed, you keep your capital gains, and the rich get rich, and the poor get poorer...."

It's a way of assuring the non-fundy, non-warmonging, simply greedy GOP types that he'll not be to the Right of Attila the Hun. He'll keep that war going to keep those corporate stockholders happy, he'll keep our military-industrial complex humming,

Porgie Bush played the same "I'm an Idiot" self-deprecating game, and it didn't hurt him.

[orleans]

15. his brain was fucking up on him--i'm not kidding. he also said this:

"i will conduct a respectful debate. now, it will be dis-spirited; it will be spirited. because there are stark differences. i am a proud, conservative liberal republi... conservative republican."

yeah, let's make him president so we can have two mental defective presidents 12 years in a row!

[originalpckelly]

16. Yes, I forgot, there will be dispirited debate my friends, and it will be sublime!

[Ganja Ninja]

17. Sounds like his age is catching up with him. n/t

[originalpckelly]

19. Catching up? It sounds like his age tackled him!

:P

[Ganja Ninja]

22. One might even call him "Reaganesque".

:crazy:

[Orsino]

18. No such thing.

Liberals are an endangered species on the Democratic side of the aisle. There are none among the Republicans. None.

This is just the usual politician's trick of trying to be all things to all people.

[RandomKoolzip]

23. Not that I like John McCain or aything, but...

I'd like to think we could talk about the man without recourse to ageism or mean-spirited digs at Alzheimer's sufferers.

Having said that, McCain fuckin' sucks.

[Virginia Dare]

27. I love old people..

my Dad is a little older than McCain, and I love him dearly, but I sure don't think he's capable of being President, he's way past that.

[kentuck]

26. Man! Did he just step on his dick or what??

At his first attempt to attack Hillary and Obama as dreaded "liberals", he screws it up and calls himself a "liberal".. :rofl:

[Virginia Dare]

28. He's not a very smooth bullshitter at all...

I predict he'll be making lots of these gaffes in the months to come.

[Mountainman]

30. He is making the wing nut radio hosts increasingly irrelevant.

They sit at they mikes and rant and rave and no one gives a shit anymore!

[LynneSin]

32. If he's a liberal republican I'm next month's playboy centerfold

:eyes:
