McCain: ‘I Always Aspire To Be A Dictator’
I just want to make a comment about the obvious issue and that is the failure of Congress to act yesterday. Its just not acceptable. […] This is just a not acceptable situation. I’m not saying this is the perfect answer. If I were dictator, which I always aspire to be, I would write it a little bit differently.
I bet eleventy billion dollars that the fact that he admits he wants to be a dictator will put an absolute lock for him on voters who are authoritarian followers. Believe it or not, but they actually want to hear politicians say statements like that.

Obama won't do the crushing, but the result may ultimately be the same.
McCain's gaffes exude aloofness, disorganization and transparent desperation. If chest-beaters perceive him as weak consequently, he'll lose. The knuckle-dragging biblebots may also fall away, despite Palin.

He was being dry but it was indeed an attempt at humour.

Perhaps I missed something then.
When Bush said it back then it was an obvious joke because he was laughing...and followed it up with another joke while laughing. McCain didn't seem facetious at all in the video...at least that I could see.
At any rate, any time a right-winger talks about dictatorship people's ears should perk up while their hands reach for their firearms.

I can't watch it - those Des Moines Register clips won't play sound on my machine here for some reason.

the article u linked to even says it was an obvious attempt at humour. Do you really think that if McCain wanted to be a dictator he'd admit it on air?
This was an attempt at straight faced humour - a more subtle kind than bush is capable of.
comon man use ur brain!

P.S. There are other videos available from that interview. I laughed my ass off with the
video of him answering a question about his health benefiting from governement-funded healthcare.
“Throughout your adult life, am I right, as a veteran and a member of Congress and now someone over sixty five, throughout your adult life have you been covered by a taxpayer-financed health care plan?
It's hilarious...because - while defending "free market" healthcare - he admits that there was a time when he wasn't covered by "socialist" healthcare:
I did go a period of time where the healthcare wasn't very good.
Right-wingers

Yeah...I figured that but I was trying to start a meme that McCain doesn't like healthcare unless it's free. I guess I failed. Fuck u...
