Today's the day John McCain is employing his latest campaign strategy.

He's now suspending his campaign to rush back to Washington, after being absent for four months, to save America. He tried campaigning on the issues, but found America didn't think much of his issues since they were just like George W. Bush. His campaign then announced his campaign wouldn't be about the issues. All fluff, all lies, all the time. Big mistake with that one. Mainstream media just started calling his ads lies, even Karl Rove appearing on Fox News criticized the all lies all the time approach. Big bummer for McCain.

So now John McCain is trying the theatrical, grandstanding play. He's morphing himself into a Super Hero. If he really wants to achieve maximum impact for his stunt, he should put on a red, white and blue spandex suit with a large "Mc" on the chest, and don a flowing cape. His campaign can rent a public address system and as he emerges from his car to slowly shuffle up the steps of the capitol they can blare out his new theme song...

"Here he comes to save the day!"
"That means that Mighty Mac is on the way."

Yup, that outta do it.

Duplicate Thread can we please combine these?

Just wait, McCain is going to propel down a rope into the middle of congress, decapitating Nancy Pelosi with his gimp arm in one fail swoop. He'll be followed in by Chuck Norris, Arnold Schwartzenegger, and Jesse Ventura, all wearing Captain America spandex. They will immediately go ape on the dems and any Pub that has ever disagreed with him.

With M-60 in hand, Cigar in mouth, he'll poor into page after page of Bush's proposal, ripping out anything he doesn't like, attaching it to the burned corpse of all the senators that opposed him, and shooting grenades at them all. Page 34, stuck to Obama's head, Hai-Yah! Page 61, stuck to Bidens butt, Ka-Boom!, page 3421, stuck to Ted Kennedy's middle finger, Hoo-Chah.

Just then, Dick Cheney and his goon squad of Condoleeza, Colin, and Karl Rove charge in guns blazing. McCain, fast on the trigger, gives his legendary tag line, "Time for some reform, mutha-(*)(*)(*)(*)as!" Then lays them out with a series of unbelievable Jet Li style action, crossed with the very Best Stephen Segal impression you've ever seen.

But he's not done yet, hiding under the table of the John Kerry's desk is Osama Bin Laden and Macmoud Achmidenejad (whatever). McCain, ever the showman, turns to the American people and says, "9-11 this you bastards" and then hurls an atomic bomb at them. He quickly scales the ceiling of the Capitol and boards his Magnum PI Chopper, getting away just as Washington DC goes up in smoke.

He lands on a desolate Alaskan mountaintop, US flag in hand, and grabs the NEW love of his life, Nancy Pfotenhauer, for one last kiss before the next 300 hour nightfall begins in the Alaskan state. Sarah Palin grabs Ventura and does the same.

...Somewhere on a tropical volcanic island in the Pacific, Bill and Hillary look on at the big screen in total, utter defeat. But there day is not yet done! They will return. Duu, Da, Duuuuh.

Props to both of the comical descriptions above. The sad things is....this is exactly the image that Mccain (i.e., Rick Davis) is trying to paint into our minds. The hero white knight on his horse. This ridiculous campaign continues to assume that the majority of the electorate is not capable of rational thought. The only influence that mccain can possibly have on this bill is a disrupting one....he has already over-politicized the process and disrupted whatever unity the republican leaders may have had yesterday morning.

The problem with the super-hero / white-knight / action hero analogy is the fact that he is chickening out of the debate. A true hero does not show fear, and can handle multiple tasks at once. A true hero with a cape would not forget about the little girl stuck in the well on his way to stop a missile.

That's exactly the point of the original post. It's comical, and no one is finding it very funny.

No, I totally think he wants an excuse to cancel the VP debate. Have you heard any of the Couric interview? She's talking about how Russia flies over US airspace and Canada is on Alaska's border and when asked about Israel, she starts up with "good guys" and "bad guys" like we are a bunch of 6 year olds who don't understand anything.

I think the McCain campaign wranglers are gnashing their teeth and pulling out their hair over her... Scared to death!

The Palin interview with Katie Couric was painful to watch. Palin came across as someone not even aware of what she doesn't know. Here rational was simply embarrassing and shallow beyond belief.
