During DMR Interview-John McCain: "I've always aspired to be a dictator"
Does he look like he is being 100% serious when he says this in the video? I know this is days old but it is spreading bigtime in Youtube etc... google it. This needs to be seen by all imo.

1. Isn't it amazing that hasn't been an issue? Can you imagine if Barack had said it? And it is another
tie to Bush. His familiar "A Dictatorship would be easier, as along as I were the dictator" shows how much he and McCain think alike. That isn't Maverick McCain! That is more of the same!

2. Pretty sure he was being hyper(grumpy) sarcastic
I would not feel good presenting it in another light.

3. Okay... if that is the case then someone should ask him about the statement
... be curious to hear his response. 'I was joking' wouldn't be enough considering that the context imo.

5. It has to come from a neutral part ofc.
But yeah, I don't think it was a smart move on his part or that it should not be poked at.

I would feel like an idiot doing it though. Which shouldn't stop the press, I guess.

6. You mean like Wanker was joking?
These people tell us what they are with statements like this We'd be wise to pay attention and take them seriously.
