McCain vows to remain in U.S. Senate

Boston, MA – Despite rumblings that he might give up his Arizona Senate seat in order to campaign full time, Sen. John McCain said today he has “no intention” of leaving his post.

Adding that he disagreed with former Sen. Robert Dole’s 1996 decision to leave his post as Majority Leader and resign his Senate seat upon becoming the Republican nominee, McCain said he plans to remain in the Senate through the general campaign.

“Unless something dramatically changes—which I cannot imagine—the answer is no,” he said aboard his campaign bus–though he joked that his AZ colleagues inquire about his “physical and political” health a daily basis. “I have no intention, no intention, of vacating my seat in the United States Senate.”

McCain is currently serving his fourth term in the U.S. Senate—which is set to expire in 2010. Of course, the Arizona Senator said he will happily leave his post for the White House if he wins the presidency in November.

McCain talks about pork. Her’s the ultimate pork - Right now, Senators are collecing their paychecks when they are busy looking for another job and don’t come to work! Will he do something about it? (We have three Senators doing that right now!)

Well. I suppose he thinks that when he loses to Obama, he will have a paycheck to fall back on. The dirty crook!

McCain is a little nazi. His program is about primal patriotism and WWIII, that’s it. That man is about 80 years old, he should rest and enjoy the little life he has left that old man.
As for the Hero stuff, he can say all he wants, he may not have been one either but we will never know but what he says he did…

This is why some are not crazy about voting McCain in November, or any other time. He is a constant politician. So afraid he may lose his throne in Washington. “”HEY MCCAIN !!!!! BE A MAN AND FACE THE REAL WORLD; Serve the people or serve yourself. !!!”
