  • eastbeast314, on 06/10/2008, -2/+10Although that's a funny slip, it would be pretty incredible and good if a president vetoed every bill with earmarks in it.

    Also, beer with earmarks should be vetoed too.
  • supermanky, on 06/10/2008, -1/+11DAMN YOO, MCCAIN!
  • smockk, on 06/10/2008, -0/+8getting rid of all earmarks would save $50 billion off of our spending

    that doesn't even come close to negating the costs of a prolonged military presence in Iraq
    • beakerwimp, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2smockk: Good point, but getting rid of all earmarks is still a worthy cause, no? There are plenty of things about John McCain to disagree with, but we should all stand behind wanting to reduce financial bloat and pet projects, no?
  • IrishJoe, on 06/10/2008, -0/+5Sounds like Senator McCain had one too many beers before he gave that speech. Either that or it was Miller Time (oops forgot who his wife is) Bud Time right after that speech. Of course, Cindy McCain may have an objection to his vetoing every beer that crosses his desk. Would seriously cramp her income.
  • MalachiConstant, on 06/10/2008, -1/+16That's not going to fly well with the Redneck vote.
  • livegreenordie, on 06/10/2008, -0/+5 He shouldn't have hit the bottle before he gave the speech~
  • jamh, on 06/10/2008, -0/+6thats it, any hope McCain had for my vote just went out the window
  • chanop, on 06/10/2008, -0/+8He must drink Pabst Blue Ribbon. If I were drinking PBR, I'd want to veto every beer also.
    • kateyall, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1Don't knock the $5.99 twelve pack. It tastes like urine and takes the whole 12 to give you a buzz, but *****.. it's $5.99! My affinity for IPA's is breaking me. :(
  • damnyooneek, on 06/10/2008, -0/+4the guy is so old the marbles are a little loose up there
  • jbdobd, on 06/10/2008, -0/+7GET OFF HIS LAWN!
  • GhostyBoy, on 06/11/2008, -0/+3***** TRAITOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • manicmarvin, on 06/11/2008, -0/+3He needs some medicinal marijuana to mellow him the ***** out.
  • deadlyrice, on 06/11/2008, -0/+5He must remember the good ol' days of prohabition.
  • MrDoug, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2He'd be the first president to veto a beer.

    ...and CERTAINLY the first to sign ANY veto with a Sharpie.
  • Dailong, on 06/11/2008, -0/+5First they came for the Cosmopolitans,
    I didn't say anything because I'm not a chick,

    They came for the White Russians,
    I didn't say anything cause I am not The Dude.

    They came for the Vespers,
    I didn't say anything because I am not James Bond (and I can't find Kina Lilet anywhere)

    Then they vetoed the beer,
    and I volunteered to get rid of it, one pint at a time.
  • Dagreenman, on 06/11/2008, -0/+6Vetoing beer? Now who's elitist?
  • bry0000000, on 06/11/2008, -0/+7I guess McCain is not the type of president you can sit down and have a beer with.
  • DeskFlyer, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2Way off topic but why did YT remove the start from beginning button?
  • Eslamicolt3, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2Freudian slip. Welcome back 18th amendment, how we've missed thee!
  • macabaret, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1McCain once had a horrible hangover after drinking too many Natty Lites, and now he'll hate beer "for as long as he lives." Friggin' brews! http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/hongop.shtml
  • feathersanddoom, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2this guys not voting for him...

  • doctorfungi, on 06/11/2008, -2/+3LOL. A POLITICIAN MADE A MISTAKE IN HIS PUBLIC SPEAKING.
  • resipsa, on 06/11/2008, -0/+3I'm a pretty liberally-minded guy, but I must agree with Senator McCain. Beer with earmarks just sounds wrong in any context other than the classic two-beer helmet.
  • bynddrvn, on 06/25/2008, -0/+0Actually, McCain really doesn't like beer and very rarely drinks any alcohol. Ironic, I know as his wife's family made all their money distributing beer.

    Not sure how well that would go down in the red states, McCain hates booze.
