And is, quite often, one who knows how to put his foot in his mouth with gusto. There's a saying in the circus; If you're going to make a fool of yourself, do it with conviction. So let's elect him to the circus. Jokes about killing people aren't even funny when a professional comic does them. They're just tacky. We've seen tacky for the last 7 years in the executive branch (and Cheney, too, whatever branch he's in.) McCain is Bush II in the Inappropriate Comments for a President of the U.S. Department. Time to get some brain power in the White House. It ain't him. Add insult to injury and get McCain: Tacky, ill-informed Warmonger. Feh. Yeah, he's a card.

I have a program that will save our banks, boost the economy monthly forever, produce health insurance with their choice of insurance companies, rebuid the general fund monthly forever, opening up millions of jobs within 30 days of activating this program, also allow people to make more donations to charities or candidates, allow people to pay for their medicine and much more but only if someone is listening. If John McCain does not want to talk about this program maybe Dan Quayle or Oliver North would like to talk about this, these two gentlemen I would back for President. Your second package will do not much more than the first one, you need a revolving self funding program like the Mccurdy Factor. Mr. McCain

He is psychologically not balanced in my opinion. I am sure he will find an excuse to attack Iran and get us into yet another war we don't need. One question I have always had: Why are we making enemies with those who have most of the oil in the world. And we support a country they hate so much to the fullest and most rediculous extremes? Is that a smart foreign policy? Or the media is pushing us in that direction? I truly believe he has never recovered from the old Vietnam years ... He is psychologically not balanced in my opinion.

I bet he has a great sense of humor, and real scathing one. But do I want a potential President making a joke about killing innocent people in a country whom is considered our enemy? How does that show me that he will conduct business with them in good faith? Does this mean that under President McCain, war with Iran is inevitable? That joke wouldn't have been that funny coming from a drinking buddy. It certainly isn't funny coming from a candidate for President of the United States. Eric Phoenix AZ Yeah, he's a real card.
