Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said late Friday that President Obama will remain on Arizona’s ballot despite conspiracy theory-fueled threats from the state’s top election official.

“The president of the United States is not going to be taken off the ballot,” McCain told Phoenix television station KPNX.

;McCain should be taken out of the Senate.

Well, if nothing, McCain is consistent. Appease, appease, appease.

He could have been president if he had the courage to take on his D opponent as vigorously as he did his own party. At his age, he will probably not run again, but if he does, I hope the Arizona GOP rank-and-file votes him out.

[winkadink]

Of course he will. He want O as prez.

[haircutter]

INTERESTING

did not know that..I respect him for his Military service but NOTHING else...

[liberalh8ter]

I really wish McCain would just go away. He's an embarrassment and a disgrace.

[Rytas]

Shut up, Mav!

[Smokeyblue]

The Media called McCain to do damage control for them and Obama over the current news.

Of course, as usual, McCain was happy to oblige them.

[No!]

When McCain was running for President my best friend who lives down the street called me. She was going to pick up McCain for President signs for her yard and wanted to know if I wanted one.
My response....not in this lifetime will you EVER see a McCain for anything sign in my yard. No thanks.

[Venturer]

The articls said that Obama’s defense came from an unlikely source. John Mccain.

What is so unlikely about Mccain coming to Obama’s defense ?

Hell !! He came to Obama’s defense when he was running against him.It’s time McCain left politics and took his fat daughter with him.

I haven’t seen any signs that McCain in NOT the dictator of Arizona.

Every conservative office holder in Arizona either gives in to the RINOs or has legal charges filed against him.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

I think the AZ Secretary of State is trying to wangle the DNC to sue Arizona to demand that Obama be put on the ballot. This could turn into a catch-22 if the hearing was held *after* the election.

Importantly, no one has the “right” to have their name put on the ballot, unless they fulfill the requirements to do so. And this gets extra interesting in presidential ballots because the people are *not* voting for a presidential candidate, but for representatives in the Electoral College.

So the AZ Secretary of State might be on to something here. If the State of Hawaii refuses to provide that information to Arizona’s satisfaction, then Arizona can block Obama’s name from the ballot.

[SuperLuminal]

Well! Guess that settles that!

Nation's #2 moron has issued an executive-like order.

[Will88]

As if I needed a reminder of why I’ve despised Juan at least since 1983.

[The Cajun]

Why did McCain lose in 2008, because he wanted to.
Think that says it all about the bastard and how important any statement is from him.

[philman_36]

“The president of the United States is not going to be taken off the ballot,” "Progressive Republican" McCain told Phoenix television station KPNX.
There, fixed it.

[opentalk]

All of the sudden McCain cares about issues in his own state. Fast and Furious, border violence, murder of AZ agent....silent.

[Errant]

Thanks for posting. I think most states have laws that prohibit the falsifying of pertinent documents. Some are even felonies. The state attorneys generals should pursue charges based on the obvious questions of validity concerning Obama's birth certificate and draft registration documents, alone.

In Louisiana, we have http://legis.la.gov/lss/lss.asp?doc=508450.

[noinfringers2]

McCain was and is an internationalist. He has no desire to go against his comrades in Bush’s words for ‘ a new world order’. Military service at any level is no guarantee for preserving what the Founding Fathers gave to us. You can see this today in all the promoting of Obama by some in the military.

[faucetman]

“I respect him for his Military service “

I don't. He told the Viet Cong everything they wanted to know. Made a propaganda movie for them. He's a disgrace.

Name Rank Serial Number, PERIOD.
