Heh. He also said the debate would be “dispirited”.

Giving it away too soon, Juan.
Supposed to wait till November 5th.

I wouldn’t call him liberal. I mean, some of his policies could be call idiotic, but not necessarily liberal.
AbaddonsReign on February 28, 2008 at 10:47 PM
CALLING DR FREUD!! AGAIN!!

See, this is what happens when the word “moderate” scares both bleedin’ heart liberals and right wing conservatives. Half of you owe Maverick an apology.

Well…there it is.

Entelechy on February 28, 2008 at 10:58 PM
He’s a moderate Republican. That’s still better than a total left wing Democrat.
Hog Wild on February 28, 2008 at 10:58 PM
Heh McCain might be confused as to what he is but at least he IS something OBAMA.
William Amos on February 28, 2008 at 11:00 PM
Here’s hoping it’s just a cigar.

He’s the last guy I wanted to be the (R) nominee but I’m with him when I imagine Obama running our country.
The Changey Changiness Obama would bring to the Middle East makes me very uneasy.

Big deal.
He’s racked up thousands of miles & hundreds of appearances in the last year, & they found a slip-up. Do you ever err verbally?
jgapinoy on February 28, 2008 at 11:08 PM
He’s a liberal Republican. That’s still better than Nikita Khrushchev.
Close. Truman is still better than a iron curtain shoe banger.

Now all we have to do is pick which liberal globalist we want to be president..candidate A or candidate B.
It’s time for a third party or closer supervision of the electoral process or something…this is pathetic!
SaintOlaf on February 28, 2008 at 11:13 PM
See, I disagree. The moderate republican betrays his principles; the liberal, left-wing Democrat has none.
At least the Democrat behaves as he should.
emailnuevo on February 28, 2008 at 11:14 PM
John McHale; I do hope winning the nomination is not your primary goal which will satisfy your sensitive feelings since you felt so “dispirited” 8 years ago after “W” cleaned your clock. I very much hope for this great country you are prepared to go all out to win. Screw this theme of playing by the rules is what is important; I expect you to push your 72 year old body, mind and spirit to the fight of your life and there is no substitute nor anything honorable to come in second place. If you are not ready or willing, then move the f_ _k over to let Mitt or a conservative in the fight. Stop hugging the enemy, stop letting the democommunists make the rules that you suck up to, and stop kicking the conservative believers between the legs. If you want to win, I guarantee every american loving conservative will bust down doors to give you the room to become our next President, but since my balls hurt so much from you kicking them, I plan on sitting this fight out until I absolutely know you are ready to lead us to the finish line as the winners we are. If Barak doesn’t like his middle name, tell him to change it, and he doesn’t like to be called the most liberal member of the US Senate, tell him to quit blowing snot bubbles, and take his complaining somewhere else. Stop making excuses for your liberal democommunists senate gang buddies. If you haven’t figured it out yet McHale, Barak and his liberal crybabys are the enemy and the conservatives are your friends. Why do the conservative women like Michelle M., Laura I., and Ann C. have more juevos then the men??????? Come on McHale, show me something! Make me proud! Make me want to fight for you! Reach down between your two wheels and check and see if you have a pair. If not, maybe Michelle will lend you hers. Michelle M. for VP!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Freudian slip is an accidental verbal uterance of one’s true intentions. It is not the same as an accidental slip-up signifying nothing.
McCain is a liberal Republican
aengus on February 28, 2008 at 11:15 PM
Welll…he’s 71.
SouthernGent on February 28, 2008 at 11:17 PM
One of many senior moments to look forward to.
Kini on February 28, 2008 at 11:19 PM
I think you miss the wit and insight that Entelechy brings.
Kini on February 28, 2008 at 11:21 PM
He’s a liberal who despises conservatives and his election would mean the destruction of the Republican party as a conservsative party. To vote for someone like him would go beyond holding your nose, it would mean humiliating yourself and abandoning all your principles.
aengus on February 28, 2008 at 11:22 PM
If you hang around here long enough, you’ll learn that I do, and that I’m the first to laugh about myself.
Do you take yourself very seriously? I don’t (take myself that seriously, ever, but I can be serious at times).
Entelechy on February 28, 2008 at 11:26 PM
Actually, I think he played it off pretty well. And it’s true - he’s a conservative liberal.

The section is called COMMENTS not 911 Reports!
Just provide the link, we’ll check it out if we find it newsworthy, just don’t force it on us like the AP, New York Times, or The Washington Post. Keep it pithy as O’Reilly said. Or I’ll find you and make it pithy.

Come on. I’m not a biggest McCain fan, but he is one of the biggest pork-busters in the Senate, he wants to win in Iraq and he’s pro-life.
gmoonster on February 28, 2008 at 11:30 PM
This election is so over.
Jim-Rose on February 28, 2008 at 11:31 PM
Leave him alone. He is, after all, older than Frankenstein.
Whatever the h3ll that means.
Rhinoboy on February 28, 2008 at 11:32 PM
You know what?
Senator McCain is not my first choice either.
But having lost a nephew in this war, I would rather have someone who is willing to at least try to win this war.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff are saying that a quick removal of troops from Iraq will cause overnight chaos.
The surge appears to be working.
And I really can’t stand Obama or his wife. He stands for everything and nothing. His stupid give a ways, where the “guvment” solves everyones problem by giving them my damn money via higher taxes, pisses me off.
I hope McCain kicks Obama’s ass in every debate and makes Obama look like the lightweight he is.
To say he will go back into Iraq if Al Qaeda gains a stronghold is ridiculous! If we leave, they will….we need to finish the job while we are already there~!
ArmyAunt on February 28, 2008 at 11:32 PM
I love freudian slips.
McCain just admitted the plain truth. Diggin’ it.

Kini on February 28, 2008 at 11:40 PM
To not vote for him, means to have Obama for president, and to keep “all your principles”, with zero guarantee that after Obama a Reagen will emerge.
For myself, I’d rather “humiliate” myself, whore myself politically so to speak, lose some of my principles, and save my country, and a bit of the world, from socialism, and other -isms, and all sorts of no recoverable things.
Entelechy on February 28, 2008 at 11:40 PM
No, no Kini, newbies are ok. They just need to learn to know the HA parlor, and the rats in it, a bit better. Thanks for being faithfully here, and for being such a good friend. How’s Hawaii?
Entelechy on February 28, 2008 at 11:42 PM
I think in McCain’s instance, pathetic is as pathetic does.
To let him go on a long leash is to invite ruin, for the good of the country and ourselves we must invest and expect a good return.
He has shown that he can be made to listen and has some interest to serve, were his opponents will have none of it and are purely power and agenda driven.
At this point not only do we hold our nose but we apply mentholatum and negotiate with John McCain, gain agreements and follow up while in office and keep him close.
We negotiate for a VP in keeping with our values to be Pres. after him in exchange for our support.
In the face of no available Conservative Ross Perot we leverage, leverage, leverage.

No. No toaser, no iPhone, no wide-screened tv. Just the fleeting adoration of my fellow posters.
Just a brief, intoxicating foray into the rarefied realms of thread stardom normally reserved for flamers and trolls and the hope, nay the expectation, the firm belief, that one day, one glorious day I shall quip again and be found worthy of the title of Commenter of the Day.

29Victor on February 28, 2008 at 11:47 PM
Does this mean you would rather have BO or HRC? I’m really not trying to be snarky. I promise. I am so curious about this stance of not voting for McCain. I want to know if everyone that says they will not vote for McCain would rather have the Dem. No one’s answered me yet, but I have hope!

Seems that he has to constantly talk internally to convince himself that he’s a Republican. (Note to self: Slow down, Simba. You forgot to tell ‘em that you roll right. Dern!)

Well, here we go again. All the McCain haters come out of the woodwork to to rehash the tiresome NOT CONSERVATIVE!!! refrain.

Juan Hussein McCain just can’t keep that genie in the bottle over the campaign long haul. Somewhere in his Jekyll/Hyde McBrain, he self-identifies as a liberal.
Recall that Mama McCain said we would have to hold our noses to pull the lever for him, and who knows better than Mom? Just don’t expect Barack Sydney Obama to say he’s a proud liberal Farrakhan/Ayer’s Democrat. Ain’t gonna happen.

71, or 35 (according to29victor), 102, or 21, the campaign would wear anyone out. I’m no Johnny Mac fan, but I’ll take what I can get. Hillary had a brain-fart over the new president of Russia, and Johnny Mac just had a short circuit. Nothing to call 911 over.

I’m gdamn proud of the Marines, Sailors, Airmen, and Soldiers who have drawn blood so you can BITCH your sorry ass at Princeton about fairnes. Please explain that the Japanese when they hacked off my uncle’s head on the BATAAN DEATH MARCH, that when he died, he was PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN.

And, of course, “liberal” can be used to accurately describe Reagan conservatives, whereas Democrats are quite illiberal.
I really wish we would quit applying such a noble word to such ignoble people who hold such totalitarian impulses. Conservatives should claim the word “liberal” as their own, and use “leftist”, “Marxist”, etc., to convey the true nature of the Hillary and Obama types.

I will vote for McCain, but I will not skip off to the polls with a song on my lips or joy in my heart!!
I’ve read a lot of comments stating that McCain will sweep the floor with Obama during the debates………were ya’ll watching the same GOP debates that I did? McCain has had more than a few “senior moments”. He tap-danced fairly well today, in re: liberal & dispirited………how long can he keep it up?
In the primaries so far, the Dem voters showed up in numbers far greater than the GOP, more than 2 to 1. Obama is capturing the youth vote; can this old (and really old looking) white guy have any pull with that demographic?

What he said doesn’t bother me a bit. I t was a simple slip of the tongue.
It happens to everyone.
All of the mental midgets that feel a sense of power by ridiculing the presumptive nominee need to get a life and think about how many times they have tripped over their own tongues.
I hope this site isn’t going to turn into a bunch of blowhards who want to see their posts memorialized on the web because they have nothing better to do.
John McCain needs our support. Suck it up and give it to him.
