Kind of like Ariel Sharon?
It is kind of sad that you actually think that every Republican who does not favor McCain has thought about it. You really don't know how most people are, do you?

I don't get the sense that most of the posters are "wishing" it upon him. I get the sense they're thinking about it in the way a Vice President or an heir thinks about it, that it can and does happen to most humans, and then what . . .
I wish it on him. He was a complete ass-hole to RP in the debates. You treat my boy like shit, I wish death upon you. That's how I roll.

Yes, its true The Plastic Man could revive his candidacy, but that wouldn't change the fact that McCocksucker would be DEAD...and that would be worth celebration.

This is a sick topic. Let's "assume" he will??
And Romney will take over in McCain's absence.

and declare marshall law and refuse to leave office.
It wouldn't be so bad if all the members of the CFR were to be taken out by a "natural disaster".....it would make the presidential race more easy to "swallow"....
that is not a bad thing to fantasize about just as wishing dictators would kick the bucket its a "norm" for politics.

John McCain is not going to fall over and die any time soon. Drop it already, it's freaking nutty.

It's merely a hypothetical question regarding the GOP-rules and those who are still running. On the other hand, McCain will be dead anyway if he's running against Obama later this year.
