Will John McCain please quit saying "I'll follow Bin Laden to the gates of hell"
Seriously, that is really awful political rhetoric....Gates of hell??...John McCain would get lost at the "gates" of LAX, Chicago O'Hare, NY LaGuardia, etc!!...

Sad thing is, there are probably people who actually believe McCain's non-sense.....

1. He watches too many movies. He's pretty full of himself.

2. He's going for the evangelicals
he's trying to undercut the Huckster.

A little fire and brimstone goes a long way with them

3. Yes, I saw that.......
Pathetic.

Why follow him to Hell? If that's where Bin Laden is going, why go there with him? Wouldn't it be best to let him go get in through the gates? :shrug:

4. As Long as He Has a Platoon of Soldiers Surrounding Him
He'll talk about what lovely weather they have at the gates of hell.

McCain and Bush love those soldiers. Poor McCain finished near the
bottom of his class at Annapolis.

5. Well, somebody should.
None of the other candidates seem to talk about capturing Bin Laden. I still won't vote for McCain, but at least someone remembers what we wanted to do in the first place.

11. I am sure that he knows Bin Laden is Dead.
That is how he knows to meet him at the gates of hell.

6. After he follows him to the gates there, he can request a table for two.

15. It was A Cheap Shot, Ma'am, But Someone Had To Take It....
People have to learn not to leave such easy openings....

If he wants to sound fierce, "I'd storm the Gates of Hell to bring back bin Ladin's head!" would be impervious to even the most skilled snark....

"If Hitler invaded Hell, I should find occasion to say some good word about the Devil in the Commons next morning."

12. bin Laden is a creation of the US.
Who founded and named the organization he's supposed to head? He did CIA wet work.

Oh, yeah, and the US funded and founded the Taliban, too. And the Northern Alliance. And Saddam Hussein.

Lord and Lady, people. Try starting your search for terrorists closer to home.

13. McCain is too old and can only repeat his talking points. Sadly,
I once supported him, in the '04 election.

I was amazed when the 'maverick' morphed into one of B^%# Cos. puppets, in the end.

He should be ashamed to run, IMO. And, the American people know it!

14. Arrogant asshat.
This isn't some stupid action movie. If we erected a giant, anatomically correct John Wayne statue, maybe the Republicans would be too busy fellating it to do any more harm.
