Bush is probably a good guy too, but that doesn't change the fact that he's a fuck up. Being cool, won't make you a good president.... Oh, wait...

Agreed. At least he's someone respectable...unlike W.

Indeed. He is a great patriot of the United States and he will be remembered as such. He spent years in a P.O.W. camp and served our country, but I'm afraid our country is running out of uses for him. He now has the pleasure of watching the country change before his eyes from the Pro-Republican country it once was, to the Pro-Democrat/Independent nation that it is developing into.

Obama won, though. SHOOP THE FUCKING WHOOP!

I've always respected McCain, even though I don't agree with his platform. He's a good guy.

John McCain has made some good choices throughout his lifetime, up until the point where he bet all his chips on George W. Bush and chose Palin as a running mate. Those were suicidal for his campaign.

[Beorg]

The country's focused more on Republican ideals in the last half-century than Democrat ones, no?

Either way, he witnessed the greatest of both parties come and go, and now he'll get to see yet another, and perhaps the one that will bring the country into a new era that it will never come back from.

he's a **** that should have been running on the dem ticket, that's his major flaw he fractured the republican party... not that I care the republicans are ****'s like the dems and have the same ideology. Obama's not leaving Iraq, I doubt they'll be any healthcare for the middle class yes we can change the color of the president and have the same policies lol

[PaleOne]

I totally disagree with the original poster.

John McCain was a traitor to his country and the Constitution.

John McCain Gave more than his name rank and serial number while a POW.And becoming a POW doesnt not mean you are skilled or competent, as a matter of fact it means you made some very large mistakes and judgement errors.

John McCain sponsored the greatest attack on free speech since the alien and sediton acts in McCain Fiengold's incumbent protection act.

John McCain personally led the attack on MMA in the 90's and was personally responsible for me having to travel out of state to compete in my favorite sport. And he did this becasue his funding came from Anheiser busch(major boxing sponsor).

And if your voting record is not the same as Ron Paul's then you are a theif and a murderer by spending other people money and supporting unnecesarry military action.

[LanMandragon]

His speech was very nice. I appreciated that he didn't drag this through the gutter.

I think it would be a good gesture if Obama offered him a position.

Harsh but true.

I'd like to add that while military service is commendable, I think it weighs less heavily on people's decisions now-a-days.

Frankly I didn't think twice about McCain's life of service vs. Obama's life of Ivy League education. They both worked hard, which is all I could ask for.

I voted Barr, but I gotta say, between Obama and McCain, I'd rather have some one who isn't ass fucking retarded. I wanted to cut myself after witnessing GWB's appointments. I can only imagine the dumb asses McCain would put in charge of our agencies (and I can't even imagine what his management of said agencies would be like). The man simply doesn't know shit.

Yeah! Ive been in this Forumfall camp hellhole for 7 years! Beat that, McCain !!!

I agree though, he made a decent losing speech and didnt act like a bastard. I got a bit more respect for him by watching how gracefully he bowed out. I didnt have very much respect for him in the first place.

Dicks on ALL SIDES.

[greeneggsnoham]

I agree. McCain is a great person and someone I'd love to have a beer with. Anyone who thinks otherwise should take a look at his appearances on Letterman, SnL, and The Daily Show. Funny, smart, respectful.

It's sad that his chance to run for office came after Bush, against Obama, and in a time when the republican campaign management was more interested in catering to their base than actually governing.

McCain really impressed me in the last few weeks before the election. He's a cool dude and if he was elected I have no doubt he would work diligently and earnestly in our best interest.

Oh are you referring to his complete lack of knowledge about the national economy while he is running for President of the United States, as well as his extreme ignorance about nearly everything ranging from technology to sane foreign policy practices? You can be really smart and be fucking clueless at the same time. He hasnt taken the time to improve his range of knowledge, instead he has been fucking around Congress for how many years? Please...

Lets not forget how he dispensed with Habeas Corpus and locked up 18,000 Northerners on "suspicion" that they were Confederate sympathizers.

Also, how he threatened imprisoning or removing the supreme court judges in order to get his way.

Also, how he condoned Sherman's scorched earth policy which took the South 100 years to recover from.

Also, how he denied guaranteed rights to quit the Union if so desired and amended the Constitution to prevent so in the future.

You've already given the retard more attention than he deserves. I stopped listening to him when he said McCain is smart.

Maybe he had an IQ of 130 when he was younger. If that's the case, I'm sorry senility got the best of him, but he's a fucking idiot now.

And even if he had the potential for intelligence (I mean I've taken an IQ test, John Hopkins test, etc, they're essentially jokes), it doesn't mean he knew shit.

Like you said, hearing him talk about anything just made you weep for humanity.

Its no wonder the Republican party has lost everything except still having filibuster priveleges in Congress, they have fucked up consistently for 8 years now; first with Bush the ultimate retarded Presidential fuck-up, then they nominate a senile old man who screwed himself royally by picking Palin; I mean, Republican party is the biggest laughing stock of the century right now!

Out of all the McCain bashing in this forum. What makes Obama that much better?

Nothing, they're both dicks and both would see the constitution and the republic as it was intended dead and buried. They'd just target different aspects first.


Unfortunately too many people see voting for an independent/libertarian/constitutional candidate as a lost vote.

Whoever wins, we lose.

I guess a lot of people prefer Obama for foreign policy reasons e.g. not going to war with Iran, trying to get out of Iraq (sensible IMHO). Also, on the domestic side = less taxes for most people + lazy people always like promises of free hand outs (stupid, nothing in life is ever free and lesser taxes will be made up in other ways e.g. higher market prices).

[Pcheez]

Sitting there and taking it in the ass as a POW makes someone a great guy how ?

Sure he was tortured for serving his country, that makes him a hero by default.

The most egotistical genocidal asshole wanker titface cockmongrel would have been nominated as a war hero for surviving a few years of torture.


War hero =| Great guy.

That besides, hes still a decent guy imo.

[cosimo84]

McCain has his integrity and overall I agree with the OP, but does that really qualify him?

Obama on the other hand is a COOL guy. And ] that's all it really takes to be president of the US.

[Atnas]

Don't know enough about McCain to say if he's good or not, but that was... or rather uh is, since I'm watching it now, a pretty nice speech!

Edit: What are they shouting in the middle of it? "Glu blu bleh! Glu blu bleh!"?

Had McCain spoken with such poise and tact in past speeches this year, his defeat tonight may not have been so spectacular.
