I support the vietnam vets and the troops, they support Ron Paul. It's amazing what these vets who have defended our country say about this candidate. After googling what vets are saying, this guy needs to be blackballed not only from this campaign but from our country.

Well look's like he should have taken some lessons from Doctor and war veteren Ron Paul. Don't support another Vietnam and don't support big government spending. Especially in your own campaign. Just look at the issues and see who's the clear winner on principle.

It is his sheer arrogance that finally got to him. How can you rub it in people's faces his support for the Iraq fiasco and to add icing to his cake--a general amnesty for everyone here illegally. Why doesn't he ask if people with relatives who have been waiting 25 years or more for their loved ones to come legally, if the immigration bill he supported is fair?
Good riddance to John McCain!!

McCain's presidential campaign is toast and the voters of Arizona will soon toss him out of the Senate.

R.I.N.O. McCain was more of a sore loser than Al Gore in 2000 and been a thorn in the back of Free American everysince. He stiffled our free speach with Senator Feingold and tried to shove over 12 million illegal down our throats to pay for with Ted Kennedy. The Backstabber deserves to go away. He'll never get the nomination anyway. Fred Thompson 2008!

Looks like his campaign has "bombed, bombed, bombed." It's not a shock, he didn't stand a chance.

And this should be the fate of anyone who votes in support of torture and in favor of the suspension of habeus corpus.

Since he was trying so hard to shove the "illegal" immigration bill down the American people's throat, he should move to Mexico. I bet they would love his ass. Go and represent Mexicans and you don't belong here, you indecisive quisling. You are finished, Johnny. You are not a true conservative. Michael Savage, who is a true conservative and a patriot, for the President of United States of America. Michael is the real thing.

well jm, it looks like you've finally insulted every conservative, republican, democrat,liberal, and independent. which dummies gave you 11 mil in the first place.
maybe you can run for el presidente in old mexico. you seemed to favor their citizens over u.s. citizens.

yes j mcblame i grant you amnesty for your stupidity.
so pay your bills and drop out.
adios,

Heathyr, a “PROUD AMERICAN,” says the correct punishment for illegal refugees is to send them to Iraq to fight.

I guess this means serving in Iraq is punishment. It certainly seems like punishment, since Republicans in the Senate just blocked a bill that would have given our soldiers reasonable and adequate rest between tours of duties. And also, since we sent troops to Iraq without adequate body armor or planning, or support.

What crimes have our sons and daughters done that they should be given this punishment?

Following McCain pancanlview says, “They will follow the troops home!”

Who are “they”? Are “they” Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia (which was formed after the Iraq invasion and plays a relatively small role in the Iraqi insurgency) or Osama Bin Laden’s Al Qaeda (who were responsible for 9/11 and are now building up strength right we left them when we pulled troops out of Afghanistan to go to Iraq, a country that had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11).

Please tell me: Why would Bin Ladin’s Al Qaeda be reluctant to attack the United States as long as our troops in Iraq? Their ability to strike in the United States has nothing to do with whether or not American troops are in Iraq.

Then tell me: How in the world would Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia follow us home? And why would they want to? Their bloody mission to simply to get us to leave.

Echoing McCain, pancanlview continues “Because they are stronger today than ever.” Again, who is “they,” Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia or Osama Bin Laden’s Al Qaeda. The former is holding its own, and the latter is indeed getting stronger. Actually, the main reason the people who attacked us on 9/11 have gotten stronger is the American invasion of Iraq, an amazing gift, a magnificent recruiting tool.

I accuse you and your beloved senator of simple-minded confusion.

***start a grass roots campaign here in Arizona that gives citizenship to illegals willing to serve a couple years overseas in the military***

I couldn't agree more! I say that all illegals caught crossing the border have TWO options.
1.) Serve in our military, give them a backpack with the essentials, a gun and a jug of water and send them to Iraq
2.) Don't serve in our military and we ship them over to Iraq without the pack, gun or water

One might think TWICE before committing a CRIME of coming into our country ILLEGALLY!

Where did the money go? People have a short memory when it comes to McCain. Remember the "Keating 7"? John was one of them and suspected of bilking Lincoln Thrift Savings and Loan. Charles Keating took the fall. So John now takes funds in campaign contributions and bails. Go figure! He cut his staff and their pay. He would have lost all staffers to cheaper Hispanics had the immigration bill passed. Way to go John. McCain should be more focused on saving his Senate seat, as President is out of the question. Don't let the door hit you on the way out...

When we change substance for glitter and we forget the teachings of history our children will lament.
Irak today is Spain post world war II they are preparing and practicing.
John McCain will go nowhere.
yet as unpopular as he might be his mesage is correct.
They will follow the troops home!
Because they are stronger today than ever.

If McCain can't properly run a campaign, how can we expect him to run this country?

The only gay sweater he needs to worry about was in a hot Florida john offering $20 and a BJ to an undercover cop.

What he has done, is get in bed with the devil. He's made some back-agreement, he backed Bush's war to get something after he drops out of the race. I wonder what he traded our troops lives and innocent Iraqi lives for? Brunch and karaoke with the President?

It's about time. I only wish their are enough funds left in the campaign to fuel the "Straight Talk Express" and drop McCain off at the retirement home in Arizona. If he isnt smart enough to distance himself from the nitwit in office, he surely isnt smart enough to be our president.

My favorite GOP talking point is to make sure to blame the Iraqi government for failing to make progress in stabilizing Iraq.

Yeah, let's not place the blame where it should lie: George W. Bush and his neoconservative handlers, for taking the lid off this Pandora's box. Let's blame Iraq's government for doing such a poor job of trying to put the lid back on.

The fact is that President Cheney knew what would happen in Iraq and led Mr. Bush and the country into this awful mess anyway. So how does one not get impeached for putting profits ahead of your country's interests?

"How many casualties should the United States accept in that effort to try to create clarity and stability in a situation that is inherently unstable?" –Dick Cheney

From the AP version of this story:

" "We didn't use the money in the most effective way," (McCain) said. "

The story of everyone in Congress, in a nutshell.

LOOOSSSEEERRRR

Looking forward to Mccain's recovery in the coming months. An honorable man like Mr. Mccain is just what we need in this country. I just gave to the campaign. Hope it helps. Keep going John. Stick it in the nay sayers you know where

McCain will have to withdraw nomination

Ed Failor Jr. (Iowans for tax relief guy, who ignored inviting Ron Paul) is about to leave McCain campaign....Talk about rats leaving sinking (stinking) ship?

You all are are doing exactly what the media want you to do: give up on this guy. I'm not a McCain supporter, but give the guy a break! Primaries are still several months away, but because all of these fools (politicians) have been campaigning since the last election, there's a false sense of urgency. The primaries are not tomorrow.

CNN, get off McCain's back. You already pushed "second tier" candidates off the cameras in the debates, and you gave only the 3 "leading" Democratic candidates a chance to talk about "faith" in your recent special. "Second tier" candidates don't stand a chance because they can't get the exposure that the CNN darlings get...unless, of course, their campaigns were to have problems the level of McCain's...

I guess we can also thank the Democrats for handing the debate monopoly over to CNN since they whined and cried enough about Fox News.

mccain will have to withdraw nomination

ed failor jr. (iowans for tax relief guy who ignored to invite ron paul) is about to leave mccain campaign...

talk about rats leaving sinking (stinking) ship?

Looks like Ron Paul is now a front-runner.

Ron Paul '08!

A self serving maggot will always be a sel serving maggot!!!

Thank God and Good Ridence!!!!

O, how the mighty are fallen!

Colin Powel’s sterling career was permanently stained by his loyalty to Bush. Many others also.

And now McCain. The Strait-Talk Express has been permanently derailed. McCain’s reputation for candor and integrity has always been over-rated, but now he has become a joke.

His fall began when he turned down John Kerry’s suggestion that he might consider being Kerry’s running mate. Then, after a mysterious weekend at Crawford, Texas, McCain sold his soul to the devil and began campaigning nationally for Bush.

Here’s what Josh Marshal said this morning, “McCain is a good example of the fact that life can take almost everything away from you, and usually does. But your dignity you've got to give away. And he did.”

ed failor jr. (iowans-for-tax-relief-guy-ignored-to-invite-ron paul) is about to leave the mccain campaign...talk of rats leaving sinking (stinking) ship?

ed failor jr. (iowans-for-tax-relief-guy-ignored-to-invite-ronpaul)is about to leave mccain campaign as well....talk of rats leaving sinking ship?

McCain should have looked at Blair to see what happens to Bush's lap dogs. Anyone who is following this President into the toilet, should stay in the toilet.

If you can't even manage 11 mil for your own campaign, why should we believe that you can manage the US budget? You sank yourself, Bubba, with your stupid support of illegal immigration amnesty and Bush's adventuristic war.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Can't manage your own campaign, John? And you wanna manage the finances of the entire country? Think again, Johnny boy!

On youtube enter "john mccain" + "baghdad market" to see what a liar mccain is.

What a disgrace to this country.
About all McCain is ready for is retirement.

"Either way i’m not pulling for him; i’m going for Romney."

Oh goody! You won't pull for a Vietnam War veteran and a popular Senator, but you will support a silver-sppon fed, billionaire flip-flopping 'Ken-Doll' parody of a Governor! Great! Isn't that what we got with George W.? Another informed American voter...no wonder our country is in the toilet!

John McCain is an honorable man who stands by his priciples even though it's not popular to do so. His alliance with George Bush however is an indication that he's for more of the same and that's not the change the american people are demanding.

Goodbye Granpa why would I vote for someone who sucks up to the very same thugs who dissed his wife and family? Talk about ambition trumping everything.

McCain probably spent it all on his young chickies.

Mc Cain needs to do something dramatic. He needs to fully support Bush. If he just says he talked to God and God said to stay in Iraq, if he brings Seabiscuit (Michael Brown) into his campaign as director of natural calamities, if he hires Scooter and promises a second pardon after Bush pardons him, if he hired Karl Rove, if he promises to replace all federal workers with Haliburton on no-bid contracts, he'll change his fortunes for sure.

It's not enough to just support the war and immigration.

The repuglicons are moving away from Bush, because the oil deal in Iraq is not going so well. Poor Exxon/Mobil. But this guy who Bush ripped into in 2000, still kisses his butt. Warmonger Moron.

John,

You are a great senator, but please drop out & turn on this corrupt administration.

The republican party needs to be saved & you can help by telling the truth.

It makes me vomit every time I think of the way he was hugging and kissing Bush. Good riddance,

Once upon a time, John McCain WAS a courageous American.

That was a long time ago. Today's John McCain is a guy who, AFTER the Bush people spread rumors that his wife was nuts and that he had an out-of-wedlock black child, STILL literally and figuratively embraced George W. Bush.

Who could support a man who won't even stick up for his wife and child? Time to check into the home, Johnny. Your time has come and gone.

Had he been a strong supporter of border security and the elimination of illegal immigration into this nation, he would probably have been the next President. Instead he spendt his time going around the country, and informing Americans on how lazy they are, that we would'nt pick lettuce for 50 dollars an hour. Some people have said he is involved in business with the Narco state known as Mexico. Enough said?

All of these "dancing on the grave" comments about the demise of McCain's candidacy are off the mark. First, his major donors have indicated that they're going to stick with him. Second, his experience and knowledge outpaces the rest of the field (Democrats included) by miles. Third, his record of overcoming personal and political adversities makes all of the other candidates pale in comparison. In addition, each time he hits the campaign trail in earnest, his poll numbers go up. If Bill Clinton can survive woes on the campaign trail that should have buried his candidacy in 1992, then John McCain can certainly rebuild his support in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina.

Is John McCain a top tier candidate? No. But he is still winning in a dozen primary states, and even without the money, he already has huge name recognition. So, It is important to realize that McCain still has a shot, even if he's not a front-runner. Its Six months before Iowa!

Either way i'm not pulling for him; i'm going for Romney.

Poor poor Juan McAmnesty.....

Time to throw in the towel and move to Mexico and run for office there!!

If I want to send 50 cents to Juan McAmnesty's campaign, should I send pesos???

Now it's time for CNN to spend more time on Ron Paul who is now in third place in money raised and cash on hand.

Is this a preview of his Presidency? Fiscal responsibility rates high on the list of Presidential abilities for this Republican Primary voter.

I'm voting for Ron Paul.

Here's hoping he removes himself from the race soon, so we don't have to see ten stories a day about how his campaign is faltering.

It is time to call it a day and get behind another candidate. Resume his leadership in the Senate, where we need him, and he can correct the errors that made him tank in the first place. Republicans need to circle the wagons around a nominee sooner than later. Let the dems tear themselves apart with a bloody primary.

McCain has never in reality had a chance to begin with. His views are based in the same fantasy wirkd as Bush,Cheney and he is dismissed as a nutcase.
A much more important question is whether or not the administration will sponsor a terrorist strike inside the US and try to go dictatorial on us.
This time they won't be able to blame the previous administration, but even if they do, dissenters will be rounded up and sent to the camps.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out, but I predicted that the immigration bill would be the beginning of the end for his campaign.

If you can't manage your campaign budget you can't be given the responsibility of managing the country.

Sounds like the Crooked Talk Express has run off a cliff....

i think the answer is yes, he is cooked. when huckabee, brownback, and possibly even gilmore have more money than you, i would say you are cooked.

McCain sure isn't getting the money. Its all starting to go to Ron Paul! I donated $150.00

"Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations-entangling alliances with none."

Thomas Jefferson

He lost his support because of his support for the amnesty bill; pure and simple. Shame, (and no, he isnt a nut case) he was a good candidate and amazing war hero. However, he forgot that the will of the people trumps the whims of the US Congress. Too bad he had to learn it this late in his life.

I'm not surprised. McCain is spending his campaign funds in exactly the same manner he spends the Peoples money. Recklessly!

Just another example of the irresponsible politicians infesting Washington.

Good. I hope he goes bankrupt before the primaries even start. For the better part of 2 Bush presidencies I've waited for this guy to get the chance to run again...and then he blows it by becoming all buddy buddy with Bush and supporting this abomination of an "international conflict". I could no longer even consider voting for this man.

Speaking from someone who was worked on 10 election campaigns there is no way that he can recover. His campaign is toast and he will be the first to drop out of the campaign I would say by the end of August.

Its a shame that his campaign is fairing so poorly, as he was the only GOP candidate in the primary debates that didn't condone torturing foreign detainees. But let's be realistic, supporting this administration in just about anything is political suicide these days. It maybe be a tough pill for the conservative religious right to swallow, but moderates like Giuliani, Specter, Chafee, Powell or (formally) Bloomburg are probably the only possible GOP candidates that has a ghost of a chance of facing off against the Democratic candidates in 2008. Between this president becoming a political pariah, the recent popularity of the Democratic Party and the sudden increase in viable independent politicians, if Rudy (or Republicians like him) don't get the nomination, history will probably look back at 2008 as the beginning of the end for the Republican Party. It would be a shame if the GOP went the way of the Federalists and the Whigs, but if these ultra-conservative, right wing, scientifically backward caricatures are the current incarnation of the Republican Party, even Abraham Lincoln would agree that it would be for the best to put them out of their misery.

McCain is reaping what he sowed when he supported Bush in this reelection and also in the war. And he just keeps making mistakes by supporting the immigration bill. He deserves his dismal position because he has not served the people well. In fact, I am not sure why he is considered a War hero. I mean the guy got caught. What is so great about that. Maybe if he had escaped that might be more heroic.

Such a maverick. Where did that 10,750,000 go anyway? Certainly not to a shrink. Must of been all those junkets to Baghdad to shop for cheap rugs.

I just love how they post the most loser mug shots of this guy. It is consistent.

Ron Paul is now accepting ex-McCain Supports with open arm's. He won't waste your donation.

Bye, Bye, Johnny Boy!

If he can't handle his money then why should people think he can handle our country? Besides, Ron Paul is the real underdog hero.

i sent them an email over a year ago with this suggestion,start a grass roots campaign here in Arizona that gives citizenship to illegals willing to serve a couple years overseas in the military,those that honorably serve get to become Americans as do their immediate family.you want to be an American,prove it!coming here to make money doesnt make the grade!
Mccain thinks building a 700 mile plus fence is the answer to illegal immigration
I guess he forgot that Berlin wall thing and how much open border encompasses North America
if he cant figure out whats good for Arizona,how can he lead a whole nation?
but i love you for the sacrifice you made during 'Nam
but the dream is over John!

When one have been running for presidency forever and never even come close to winning, at what point do you get a clue that it's time to change goals. McCain should just call it quit and retire with grace!

[...] for allegedly soliciting sex in a park and today his campaign may have only $250,000 in the bank. It looks like McCain will just like Dean before him not so quietly disappear into the night. [...]

*** but Americans love a comeback kid ***

Yes, but not a comeback tired old man who represents Bush's catastrophic Iraq policies and hugely unpopular (to Republicans) immigration proposals.

Somebody stick a fork in him, because he's done.

I contibute to this "nutcase". John McCain is a great American and the best choice for president

Time for the old man to go. Let him drive his Straight Talk Express all the way into retirement.

Is there anyone still contributing to this nut case?

Doubtful that he can recover, but Americans love a comeback kid so don't count him out completely yet.

GOOD NEWS! I hope McCain bows out! He's not a true Conservative Republican!

Go, Tancredo, GO!

Looks like Ed Failor should have invited Ron Paul to the Iowa Forum...

...Can you say, BLOWBACK!!

[...] McCain campaign running out of money [...]

D'oh! I almost feel bad for him, frankly.

Naah, just kidding. Warmongers get what they deserve. I'm happy to see Ron Paul destroying a former "top tier" candidate.

McCain has to withdraw from the race. His messages are not popular. He is same old same old. He is also two face.

McCain's candidacy is cooked because of his support for Bush, Bush's war, and the illegal aliens. Americans may be divided at this time in our nation's history, but they're still on the same page when it comes to one thing: THE RIGHT THING. Bush's war is wrong for the country and so are illegal aliens.

It's over old man.

Time to drop out John. After all you're just a 'George Bush Lite'. What a waste of 11 million dollars.
