I'm sitting here watching Fox News. John McCain is discussing the Arizona Immigration legislation. He mentioned the new legislation would help address illegal drug issues in Arizona.
So I am watching this and it hit me. I know what he could do to ensure a win in his senate race. He should declare that he is for the legalization of marijuana.
He's already demonstrated that he is willing to roll the dice (just loom at the Palin vp pick). He has already demonstrated that he is fine painting himself the opposite of what he always stood for (he's never considered himself a maverick).
He could justify this as being the drastic means we need to solve state budget issues and to rid the region of drug cartel violence. He would garner votes he'd never get from all over the political continuum. Leno's people would be calling. He would get national exposure. And after it worked he could skate into the white house if that's what he wanted. We're heading in this direction anyway. He would get the credit for making it happen.

I know McCain is the kind of desperate opportunistic politician that would do anything to try to get elected (see Sarah Palin), but I don't think even he is mavericky enough to do this. Please put the bong down and step away...

The whole point of the post is exactly what u said- that McCain is desperate and will say and do anything to get elected.
I think you might have missed that this was tongue and cheek. But the more I think about it, the more I actually think it would work.

Dear Geo and Bob,
Hey guys, You two sound like bullies on the playground...making fun of someone's physical looks...something I thought Liberals and mature adults didn't approve of...
McCain gave up years of his life defending his country, defending your rights to speak out like you do on these forums...making fun of someone's physical look, be it his yellowing teeth... due to his age, years without a toothbrush, (or whitening toothpaste) bad prison food, torture, etc....why not go after him because he can't raise his arms above his head because of the torture he endured for years , or maybe laugh about his limp from all those beatings, those physical traits should be good for a few more" Ha Ha Ha moments" from you two.
I don't mind you bashing someone for what they say, or even if you don't agree with their political views, ...but I really think it is a low blow, and in very poor taste to make fun of someone's physical look and I'm really disappointed in both of you!!!!

I agree with you about his war injuries. Poking fun at his inability to raise his arms would be in poor taste. But in the age of HD television and Crest White Strips, if you are a public figure and/or you are on TV, there's no excuse (not even if you were a POW) for having nasty white teeth.
You are entitled to mind or not mind this. I make zero apology for it.

McCain's money
Net Worth: $40.4 million
Where he got it
McCain wouldn't exactly be poor were he on his own. As a senator he earns $165,200 a year, and he has a $54,000 Navy pension. And then there's publishing.
"Faith of My Fathers," his autobiography, was on bestseller lists for 24 weeks in 1999.
Since then he has produced about a book a year, recently "Hard Call," about good decisions and how historic figures made them.
In 2006 he took in about $225,000 in royalties, but over the years, income from books has totaled about $1.7 million, all of which he has donated to charity.
He can afford to be generous. His wife Cindy is the chairman of Hensley & Co., the Anheuser-Busch beer distribution business she inherited from her father. As an only child, Cindy is in charge of the family trusts.
Although she only has to report that she has a salary of $1,000 or more, her income from investments in 2006 came to about $3.7 million.
Where it goes
Except for checking accounts, all the McCain assets are in Cindy's name or those of their dependent children. Nearly $5 million sits in two generation-skipping trusts.
She receives the income, but the principal passes to her heirs. One holds mostly J.P. Morgan mutual funds and Anheuser-Busch stock, while a second trust has only Arizona municipal bonds.
Other trusts that benefit Cindy contain a variety of stocks, bonds and mutual funds. She also owns shares in two large medical buildings in Phoenix, a guesthouse near the couple's home in Sedona and an investment property in Coronado Beach, Calif.
Another $6 million in J.P. Morgan funds is held in the name of their four children.
How he could do better
In the Navy, McCain no doubt learned to keep things tidy, and the couple's finances are shipshape. They - and Cindy's father - "have clearly given a great deal of thought to their estate," says Christopher Cordaro, wealth manager at RegentAtlantic Capital.
Cordaro has just one worry: "Everything except $50,000 is in her name or in trust for her and the children," he says. "I'd advise the senator to keep Cindy very happy - or have a good prenuptial agreement."

"brother with the yellow teeth"
"Haha. I should have posted a thread that said- McCain winning strategy: Whiten!"
" there's no excuse (not even if you were a POW) for having nasty white teeth." I guess that means gray teeth now?
"senator for life john mccain's net worth, $40,000,000......teeth whiteners, 20 bucks. you make the call homey."
Reasons for yellow or gray teeth that strips and bleach can't fix:
" head and neck radiation and chemotherapy can cause teeth discoloration." John has had both for his facial cancers.
As you age, the outer layer of enamel on your teeth gets worn away revealing the natural yellow color of dentin. John is old
Trauma can also cause discoloration to adult teeth. POW FOR YEARS
Often, teeth turning yellow (or grayish) is just a natural part of getting older. Even if you brush and floss regularly, over the years, stains can seep past the thin white film protecting your teeth and into the enamel. Toothpaste and strips can?t reach and repair this .
Not all teeth can be whiten by products...if you read the box you will see the exceptions.
It's fair to be critical of the man based on his politics, his deeds you don't agree with or his opinions you don't like ... but don't be so petty or so small..... to make fun of someone based on the color of their teeth.

Aren't you being a bit rude and insensitive by repeatedly calling attention to Mr. McCain's off color teeth?

perhaps he could file his teeth down to points and spraypaint them the color of money

Zip, it is irrelevant what McCain did for his country. He has yellow teeth. Haha just kidding
This thread was and is about McCain proving that he (like many politicians) will say anything (and the opposite of anything he says) to get votes.
It could have been a fun thread to talk about what would happen if the double talking maverick all of a sudden said he supported pot. Many interesting dynamics would take place just like many interesting dynamics took place when he three the Palin Hail Mary pass. I personally find this much more exciting than listening to people overreact about a yellow teeth comment and definitely more exciting than listening to arguments defending yellow teeth.
But hey- we all define interesting and entertaining in different ways.

Hi Geo,
.
I thought of you when I read this blog post Michelle Malkin
I used to be a McCain supporter but I've had enough of the entrenched politicians who will say whatever they have to say to get elected and then move from those positions. I'm just sick of politicians period.
