John McCain: "I'm a happy loser"

[Poiuyt]

Hylton also recalls the bitter battles of the 2000 election, in which McCain lost in the primaries to George W. Bush. "They attacked your family," says Hylton, referring to personal smears supposedly originating from Karl Rove and the Bush camp. "I don't think about it," replies McCain. "It's over. Americans don't like sore losers. I'm a happy loser."

1. I'm happy, you're happy John.

Sheesh...what a bonehead.

[WinkyDink]

2. Good, because he's going to remain one.

[Orrex]

3. If Kerry or Gore had ever said that, it's all you'd ever hear in the media

But John "Maverick" McCain is the media darling, despite shitty fund-raising numbers and an agenda at 180° out of step with the American mainstream.

4. That quote will do wonders for his already-ailing campaign

:eyes:

5. Well,

he's at least half right.

:P

[NI4NI]

6. Happy or not,, he's still a loser

So America should elect a loser, why? Unless of course America is trying to three-peat.

[JTG of the PRB]

7. Well, at least he's right about ONE thing.

He IS a loser.

[cliss]

8. What a strange statement.

This man is really in trouble mentally. I'm saying that seriously. I've read some recent quotes by him. He seems really irrational, his quotes make no sense. I would say he's physically unsuited to be out campaigning.

9. I expect his happiness will continue to grow in the forseeable future.

It's a good thing.

[Kerrytravelers]

10. So, explain to me why I should trust a man who's perfectly ok that his family was smeared to a bunch

of bigots... by a bunch of biggots.

11. Oh good, you'll be happy again real soon then.

[baldguy]

12. Mike Malloy is right: McCain is a coward & a nut case.

The bushies defamed his wife and insulted his daughter to gain the support of ignorant bigots.

Instead of defending his family, he cowers at W's feet to make it look like he's on his side - and to gain the support of those very same ignorant bigots.
