Mccain a legend…sure in his own mind!

Wow, he ruined a movie! Association like that is definitely libel. Can the producers sue for box office losses?

And another thing I hate that people take his jokes and turn them on him. The I am a legend comment was in relation to his up and downs in the polls. Becuase as soon as people say he is out of it he rebounds. Get a sense of humor. I can appreciate a joke. The man is running a stressfull campaign, let him lighten it up a bit.

How was the man supposed to get away with two broke legs. If you think you could then go try. And everybody bashes him about his voting history. Look the man is not willing to pass bills that are packed with pork barrel spending. Which is why he voted against the tax cuts. And on the illegal imigrant bill, he is a realist. You can never hope to get all of them out of the country but one thing that everybody ignores is that his bill would have stopped the flood of illegals. And the ones that are here would have paid huge fines and went to the back of the line before they were made citizens.

How tragic that Mccain is not only pathetic, but seemingly senile. Whoever told him he is a legend should get a firm slap across his or her face. What becomes a legend most? Getting tied up and forced to eat rice out of a dirty bowl in a POW camp? Or being dumb enough to get caught by people with sticks in the first place? Or perhaps becoming Bush's senatorial water boy, blindly endorsing every failed policy Bush enacted, only parting with Bush when he noticed the polls swaying against him? Mccain is a sad old man. Very sad and very old. Its hard to imagine him being even reasonably cognizant after 4 years in office becuase he definitely apears to be teetering near dementia.

>I think the actual quote was "I am legume"…

Oh, Peas, knock it off! LOL!

Only two more days to the Year of Ron Paul!

I keep expecting McCain to be twirling ball bearings in his hand while he is looking for the strawberry ice cream with his geometric logic. What a putz.

I think the actual quote was "I am legume"…

You Romneybots are as ruthless as your candidate.

"one cannot help but wonder what lasting psychological affects his prisoner of war experience had on him and what medications he may have to take to control them. That could very well explain his back and forth actions from republican to democrat over the past several years."

So much hatred…so much anger…so much panic..

I think Presidential candidates should have to declare their medical records - John McCain is often off the beam and then extremenly "mild" - one cannot help but wonder what lasting psychological affects his prisoner of war experience had on him and what medications he may have to take to control them. That could very well explain his back and forth actions from republican to democrat over the past several years. Such inconsistent behavior could be quite dangerous from the President of the United States.

Mitt Romney has shown that he can reamin cool under fire and focused on critical events and information.

Trevor OH,
Read this Loud and Clear: I,m a Vet., Fighter Pilot (F16,A36,FBW) Korea.
McCain gave Up Flag and Colors in Lieu of his Skin!
Now He wants to be President, and Give UP WHAT?
What is your status, Trevor from the Red State of Ohio?
I'll bet My A– against a football your a memer of the PNAC!

I don't get it. Everyone keeps saying McCain is a war hero. Why? Was everyone who went to Vietnam such a hero? Is he a hero beause he was a POW? And then should every POW of any war who has fought on any side be considered a war hero?

This is a major part of his story (which McCain uses ad nauseum) that is never fully explained. It's like we're being spoon-fed the "hero" line. So far, the majority of us have been happy to swallow and then regurgitate it over and over, with no real understanding.

As far as his finding himself a "legend," again McCain is relying on the public just numbly swallowing whatever term is applied.

I, for one, am gagging this time.

First:I appreciate McCain's service to our nation.

The man is a legend….in his own mind. What in the cat hair is he smoking.
Question: Legend of what?
Not only are his views hopelessly outdated, but listening to his speeches is as enjoyable as watching wet cement dry. He's boring, he's clueless, and he is as ancient as the sands of time. He's like Ned and the first reader.
What the Country needs is a Statesman and leadership not a legend.

Good Lord!!!!!! they need to look at Duncan Hunter
Today, it seems some have forgotten our beginnings. Instead of Americans with a shared vision, we have become a nation divided. We have become a nation of individuals and groups, each with a special interest vision, often without thought for what is best for the nation. We are, however, a nation that at one time had an immutable vision for all. Duncan Hunter is a man that has a vision for the nation, a vision that includes all men and it’s the same vision that our Founding Fathers held for this nation.

The guy has profitted more from his service to the nation than any other known veteran. Time to give your greed a break…

Instead of illegal immigrants, please take up the cause of veterans who do not shamelessly profit from their service as you do. I would consider that a meaningful "last act"

"This town needs an enema". ~ The Joker

What this nation needs is change, plain and simple. We cannot sustain the status quo and maintain greatness, and unfortunately that is exactly what we will get with McCain, The Bush in sheeps clothing. "We the People" need to rally around the likes of Edwards or Romney - fresh blood and fresh ideas. Hmmm…Maybe a split ticket Presidency.

Edwards/Romney '08.

Does no one have a sense of humor anymore? The hostility among some of these posters is frightening. Let's show some respect for a true American hero!

It is increasingly obvious that anyone who would go through the obstacle course set up by the political parties and the electorate must be mentally ill or monumentally egotistical - probably the latter. In order to become president, a man or woman must accept vicious assaults on his or her character and must be willing to deliver equally nasty attacks on opponents. This winnowing process gives us the people we deserve: reptiles in nice suits or pantsuits.

This guy shows his arrogance practically every time he stands up to speak. Not many want another White House with a President who thinks he's accountable to no one. If the nation wants more and more years of war, by all means, let's elect somebody who'll surely give it to us. McCain is an old fashioned conquerer: but right now, I'd take a James Monroe over an Alexander "the Great" anyday. Vote for economic security in 2008: vote Romney.

I agree with him wholeheartedly. Legends are usually people who used to be really important in their field, like legendary singers for example, and they are now either old or dead.

"I Am Lame!" Hahaha!

In 2000, McCain was a true Independent and had my respect and vote. Since then, he has lurched to the far right, pandering to the extremists in the Republican Party and completely losing my respect for him. He is a dangerous war hawk who will continue Bush's wars. My wish for him is an immediate and comfortable retirement in Arizona.

John…..Resign from the Senate and just go home. Your time passed oh so long ago. the prisioner of war was a part of your life and is in the past. Let it go. We need new ideas along with new people that arent just worn out. GO HOME

He did refer to a recent movie he saw though…does he know the difference between telling the truth and lying?

In response to all of the negative remarks regarding Senator McCain I have only this to say: He is still the best "Republican" candidate currently running for President. Feel free to read into this what you will. I personally am backing John Edwards.
Good luck to us all, we're going to need it.
BN

I'm not a huge fan of McCain, and I disagree with him about the war…..and he has been too willing to compromise his principles, first when he backed down from his right-on criticism of Jerry Fallwell and the (im)moral majority, and then acting as a Bush enabler for most of the last 8 years.

BUT…..somehow, one still feels he is miles above the other Republican candidates in integrity and just about every respect. Romney and Huckabee are both running for "Preacher-in-Chief"……and Giuliani is running for "President of 9-11″, the only thing he ever talks about (don't ask me why- he certainly didn't make NYC safer after the first WTC attack, he located the command center in the WTC, he alienated firefighters and first-responders of all stripes, and his most notable act after 9-11 was to suggest suspending elections so he could continue as mayor beyond his constitutionally mandated term limits).

It's no wonder that Republican voters are so unhappy with their choice of candidates at this point. Who's left? Oh, that's right: Alan Keyes!

Good luck, Repubs.

and he would be the president w/ acess to the codes , i hope not. he's declaring he is legend, we don't need a comedian mccain. and then again i have no faith in non of people running for the job or this system which i liken the roman empire. believing they can conquer the world imposing their will and looting and pilfering there on system

The only thing even faintly reminiscent of a legend in regard to Mccain is his legendary ability to attach his trailer to whatever bus is going by. I remember being sick to my stomach watching the lovefest he and Bush shared on TV in 2000, immediately after Bush trashed him and accused him of doing the unforgiveable in bigoted South Carolina Republican minds: Adopting a black child. He says he wants to get America going, but the man has not even done well for his own constituency in Arizona. OK, he's a war hero. Great. Since then, he has based a political career on the fact he was tortured and in return, helped Bush torture America by championing causes that have brought America to where we are now: Internationally hated, overrun by illegals, and on the brink of a real recession.

Not only are his views hopelessly outdated, but listening to his speeches is as enjoyable as watching wet cement dry. He's boring, he's clueless, and he is as ancient as the sands of time. He has no choice of winning. And every time you look at him, he reminds you of Bush and his failed presidency. Actually, Mccain is like Bush: A fraud from the beginning, old but not wise, heading nowhere fast, offering no real solutions only thirsty for power. Were he to somehow garner the Republican nod, it would only demonstrate how pathetic and misguided the Republican voters have truly become.

James, Houston,TX, please do not disgrace yourself by trying to insult McCain for being a POW.

Senator McCain manifesting a Howard Dean-like moment is not real news; just the sign of a healthy, if not overactive, imagination.

Now if Fred Thompson were to come out of hibernation and experience such a moment … that would be news!

McCAIN HAS A VERY HIGH OPINION OF HIM SELF, [HE IS HANDSOME ALSO]

Ok, for one he wasn't the last man on Earth. And second, I find John McCain hardly a legend.

John McCain; Thats Big John, in Texas, a " Two Story Out House". Yes, a Legend in Your Own Mind! 51/2 yrs in Nam made You what You continue to Be: A, P.O.W.signed and delivered.

he goes up and down between people who have no clue about candidate's policies. When push comes to shove people w/ill remember again that he was in favor of giving illegals citizenship and welfare

I hope "Chamelion McCain" has "Joe the Mole" to speak to when he's the only man left on the planet! Maybe he can keep Joe in his pocket!

You're a dinosaur McCain!

Staying in IRAQ is not a question of IF we should or should not! The simple fact is WE SHOULD OF NEVER WENT THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE! Why in the world are we trying to save face? What in the world is McCain talking about when he says if WE LEFT IRAQ it would cost us AMERICAN LIVES,, UMMMM EXCUSE ME<<< WE ARE LOSING AMERICAN LIVES DAILY over there, or does he not care about those lives and just ours here in teh homeland?

Ha ha, the crazy guy is a comedian too.

The sad thing is that gullible people buy his lies. He'll say whatever it takes to get elected.

He's crabby, unstable, misguided and just plain insane McCain.

Bomb bomb Iran, remember? Oh yeah, what a great president this nutjob would be.

How many more times will McCain run for the office of president? he is a joke.

Why does McCain think he's "legend"? Because he's almost a million years old? Besides, for a guy to declare himself "last man standing" whose presidential hopes are hanging by a threat, that's what we call good ol' fashioned hubris. Bye bye McCain. Conservatives will never put you in office.

But did McCain make any wisecracks about running for Lezident?

http://www.lezident.com

You never know…..

LOL

McCain is a 'legend' in his own mind.

A more truthful description for McCain would be senile fossil who does not know when to quit, only because his brain doesn't work well anymore to inform him truthfully,.

I thought McCain has said he's been telling the truth whether people wanted to hear it or not. Funny that he takes that back in the second half of this story.

I am the walrus. I am more popular than Jesus.

"I am a legend." Humility not. What the US needs is statespeople, not these pandering, ego-inflated, might-is-right politicos. The US needs politicians who put
all America and all Americans first, not just those of their political base. But given the polarized, us-vs-them, football win-lose mentality of the culture that's probably just a pipe dream.

As a life-long democrat I might actually have voted for McCain the last election if he had not had to withdraw due to health concerns.He would have been much better qualified to manage an earlier end-game for the war in Iraq at that time.He may have been a better choice than Gore and would have been light years better than Bush.I do believe that his time has passed and he would no longer be the president he still seems to think he would be.He would now just prolong the end of the war far longer than would really be necessary.I admire his love for our troops but at this point it would compromise any efforts to end the war.

Legends are from the past,even if they still live and breathe and so is John McCain.He is still the only truthful republican candidate and for that he has my respect but not my vote.

The democrats are the only hope this country has to reverse the self-destructive course that the Bush administration and the religeous extremists have steered this country into and if we are to have and represent freedom and democracy ever again,it is crucial for the hopes of all humanity,that we get back on course immediately or there may no longer be a future for anyone.

Ridiculous. McCain's "surge" is the product of being pumped up by the media. He's the same war-monger he's always been and he's perfectly happy to suppress negative stories (see NYT lobbyist debacle). He has no answer to the war and no definition of victory.

"Legend"…yeah, a legendary loser with a distrustful face…who could trust a reptilian looking face? He has that scary George Bush kind of face and I don't like it one bit…I say don't vote for him because his face says, "I will do dumb things".

Romney doesn't need endorsements from corrupt political dealmakers and purchased newspaper editors…he just needs votes from people who support improving our nation, our living standards, our schools, our national security, our government, our image abroad!

Romney 2008-2016 !!

Glad Romney is sharing the results of research with us….these are factual ads, not negative. I appreciate McCain's service to our nation, but he is not an agent for changing a system HE HAS BEEN A PART OF FOR SO MANY YEARS!
Romney will bring change, efficiency and respect to the oval office!

It was real legendary the way he let George Bush spread rumors about his daughter being illegitimate and — presumably worse in the eyes of South Carolina's republican primary voters — black.

What legendary courage, to sit back while your opponent slanders your family and spreads even more racial hatred.

What a waste of time and resources. John McCain could be whatever he say but he is not fit to even be considered a presidential candidate. Only talks, similar to Disaster Geoege Bush, cannot and will never govern this Great and the Mightiest country of our.
Whoever supports or considers to support John McCain is wasting his or her time. John McCain belongs to the PAST. What we and AMERICA needs at the present time a YOUNG LEADER WITH A DYNAMIC VISION.

Legend of what?

Puh-lease. The guy is a broke joke of a candidate, propped up by nothing but hype and flim-flam.

I'm glad he has this legendary faith in himself because his speeches tell us just how out of touch he is with not only reality, but especially the needs of the American people and the country.

I respect McCain but how can he actually say that pulling out of Iraw would mean a bloodier price for America?

That's just some cheesy line completely dettached from reality.

Is he for real? His revival is only temporary. Voters have only momentarily forgotten how Mccain rode the Bush tailcoats the entire millennium, uttering Bushspeak from the Senate floor, helping circle the wagons against a helpless Iraq. I could care less about his military history; in my book, were he such an informed military man, he would have never supported the disastrous Bush War in Iraq. This man, at his advanced age, is nothing more than an opportunist who bases his views on Rasmussen polls. He's very weak on immigration. And that prisoner of war thing is shamelessly exploited and for the record, completely irrelevant to many of today's voters who are more savvy, youthful, and tend to be Internet informed. Mccain is completely out of touch with this I-Pod owning demographic, a demgraphic that wasn't even born when Vietnam was going down and could really care less about it. In that regard Mccain looks like a dinosaur of a long-gone era, a master of missed opportunities, and woefully out of touch with the actual reality many Americans are living. The man is still talking about tax cuts from several years ago. Hello! There are wars going on. Illegals are invading our cities. Crime is once again on the upswing. The Russians are looking much more muscular. The economy is sagging. And we have a president in office who is probably the most corrupt, dishonest, under-handed chief executive in at least the last 200 years. All these things are going on and Mccain is focusing on tax cuts and Hollywod movies.

Oh, yeah…..he is legend….in his own mind. Be very cautious, Senator: objects in the mirror may be dumber than they look.

With your war-mongering stance, whether you raise taxes is immaterial…many more hundreds of gallons of American blood will be shed. Many more outstanding young men and women will die so that you can say "It was worth it."

Notice, please, that his response was to "…cut wasteful spending." What the American public needs to know is exactly WHAT wasteful spending are you wishfully thinking of? Fewer spendy obstructions to facilitate stopping illegals from entering this country? Perhaps a few less programs that enrich the lives of the disenfranchised?

Go back to Arizona, and spend your days in the rocking chair on your front porch. In a few months, your master will be out of a job and you won't have his boots to lick.

'Tis True!!!

McCain has weathered more storms than any of the other candidates. He has been walking the walk that the other candidates only talk about. He has been telling it straight and true long before any of the other candidates.

Thank you Senator McCain for your leadership, bravery, commitment, and honesty.
