We need to come together and agree on a nickname for McCain.

[applegrove]

I propose "McSame".

Any other nominees? Then we can have a poll.

[anonymous171]

1. "Bush III" has been thrown around.

[tekisui]

2. I like McDubya and McCan't.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

54. McKeatingFive!!!

the scoundral was involved in corruption which was conveniently covered up.

[Ian David]

3. I'm partial to Insane McCain. n/t

[FrenchieCat]

4. McLame? Actually, I like McSame best!

[screembloodymurder]

13. Me too.

McSame

[DFW]

5. I got as far as McC.....

But then I got X-rated, so back to the drawing board..........

[DFW]

If his poll numbers look good, it'll be McPain

[JayFredMuggs]

6. Mc Same will stick

I just makes more sense.

People will know what it means without a second of hesitation.

And vote against!

[NDambi]

7. McNot and/or McDouche

[YDogg]

8. Bush Lover?

;-)

[Texasgal]

9. McShame. n/t

[Johnny__Motown]

10. McHillary

[VolcanoJen]

11. McSame, all the way.

That's a winner. And easy to remember. And accurate, to boot!

[NJSecularist]

12. Freepers call him McShamnesty

I like McLame and McInsane.

[AllentownJake]

14. I like two

John "get off my lawn" McCain

and McCrazy.

[Raven]

15. Gramps? n/t

[ElsewheresDaughter]

16. McCraindpa

[patrice]

17. McLame is too low; harkens criticism of his war-related injury, not a good idea.

Sameness is a selling point to many people, so, though we like McSame, it's just lost on too many folks.

McInsane captures some very real concerns, but doesn't scan as well as two syllables.

[patrice]

18. McBomb, McNation-builder, McCharge-and-Spend, too long, huh . . .

McStrange, McStrangelove, McGrain-alcohol (probably slander, so forget it), McBane, McInane, McPain (probably a no, no too), McTrain-wreck, McVain, McWeathervane, McWane . . .

[DesertRat]

19. I like Johnny McSurge

McSame works too.

[likesmountains 52]

20. McStupp?

[PA Democrat]

21. McSame*

[Blarch]

24. How about....

G.I McJane

[DarienComp]

25. McBain?

[Blarch]

29. Nice.

[DarienComp]

33. "I was elected to LEAD, not to READ."

[NC_Nurse]

55. "Up and at them!"

:D

[ourbluenation]

26. McBush. Says it all. n/t

[Tribetime]

30. That's the one McBush

[ourbluenation]

34. If we want to portray a McCain admin as a third bush term, thats the name.

[Georgie_92]

27. McWhack.

[Patsy Stone]

[bklyncowgirl]

36. I've always called him "Straight Talk Johnny"

Sounds sort of like a race track tout.

[GodlessBiker]

37. McBush

[Life Long Dem]

38. McSame for me too. It is smooth and rhymes a little better than other choices.

:dilemma: :scared: :nuke:

[cherokeeprogressive]

39. McStain

[cliffordu]

40. Gramps

[HCE SuiGeneris]

41. Boosh v3.0

[EffieBlack]

42. Why not just call him by his name?

There are plenty of reasons for people to vote Democratic - we don't need to resort to childish namecalling in order to make our point. In fact, such tactics only detract from the very real issues we need to be focusing on and make those who engage in them look like immature lightweights.

I suggest that, rather than waste time and effort trying to come up with the perfect (or, in my opinion, perfectly ridiculous) nickname for McCain, we instead focus our efforts on how best to articulate rationales for voters to vote Democratic in the fall.

[helderheid]

McInsane

[Telly Savalas]

43. How about Sen. McCain?

And we leave the fourth grade bullshit for folks like Rush Limbaugh?

[anonymous171]

45. That worked really well for Kerry in 2004, staying above the fray, being mature.

NOT!

[Telly Savalas]

57. And Obama's campaign isn't predicated on being mature?

If not, then I fucking give up.

[applegrove]

47. We always have nicknames for the Repukes. Helps us talk to each other.

As to fourth grade... tis the silly season.

[Condem]

44. Easy.

The Phony Express!

[GoldieAZ49]

46. I see jr high is holding a weekend class nice list of students for a sunday

no wonder dems are seen as immature, so many are!

[applegrove]

49. We always have nicknames for the repukes on this board. It is nothing

new. Look around you: "*", Darth Cheney, "Repukes", etc... It is just part of our lingo and how we communicate together. This isn't even the first post on this topic. There was one a month ago.

[Rosemary2205]

48. Grandpa - or any version thereof.

[Cheap_Trick]

50. Turkey-neck McCain't n/t

[futureliveshere]

I'd really like to go hard on this guy, but that POW part of his bio is a huge road block for me.

[SKKY]

53. "Former Republican Presidential Hopeful" sounds just peachy to me.

[SoonerPride]

56. I prefer LOSER

It is a name which will stick.
