McCain considering seeking reelection in 2016

By Aaron Blake

October 22 at 11:57 am


Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Tuesday that he is considering running for another term in 2016, when he would be 80 years old.

"I'm seriously thinking about maybe giving another opportunity for you to vote for or against me in a few years from now," McCain said on KFYI-AM in Phoenix. "I'm seriously giving that a lot of thought."

Asked by host Barry Young to clarify if he was saying he might run again, McCain said: "That would not be wrong."

The New York Times's Mark Leibovich, who is in Arizona following McCain, first tweeted the news.

McCain, the 2008 GOP presidential nominee, is in his fifth term. He has never taken less than 56 percent of the vote and easily dispatched a primary challenge in 2010 from former congressman J.D. Hayworth.

If he runs again, McCain will likely find himself targeted by tea party groups.

"That would not be wrong."

Why can't politicians just say, yes or no?

The old man turned off the radio
Said, "Where did all of the old songs go
Kids sure play funny music these days
They play it in the strangest ways"

Said, "It looks to me like they've all gone wild
It was peaceful back when I was a child
Well, man, could it be that the girls and boys
Are trying to be heard above your noise?"

And the lonely voice of youth cries
"What is truth?"

A little boy of three sittin' on the floor
Looks up and says, "Daddy, what is war?"
"Son, that's when people fight and die"
The little boy of three says, "Daddy, why?"

A young man of seventeen in Sunday school
Being taught the golden rule
And by the time another year has gone around
It may be his turn to lay his life down

Can you blame the voice of youth for asking
"What is truth?"

A young man sittin' on the witness stand
The man with the book says, "Raise your hand
Repeat after me, I solemnly swear"
The man looked down at his long hair

And although the young man solemnly swore
Nobody seems to hear anymore
And it didn't really matter if the truth was there
It was the cut of his clothes and the length of his hair

And the lonely voice of youth cries
"What is truth?"

The young girl dancing to the latest beat
Has found new ways to move her feet
The young man speaking in the city square
Is trying to tell somebody that he cares

Yeah, the ones that you're calling wild
Are gonna be the leaders in a little while
This old world's wakin' to a new born day
And I solemnly swear that it'll be their way

You better help the voice of youth find
"What is truth"
And the lonely voice of youth cries
"What is truth?" fog

Another guy with a way with words:

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

That guy would say ANYTHING to get elected which leads me to wonder what he said to his captors while he was imprisoned. This war hero bs sounds fabricated like Kennedy's disastrous, er, heroic stint as a PT boat captain when he got run over by a Jap boat.
Totally believable IMO. Blink

If only they would heed the call. They are standing on the ocean, yet they don't realize it's sinking.
