The McCain Thread

Biden on McCain...

[YT]lfmMrgMyn1o[/YT]


He makes an excellent point about McCain.

How can McCain change anything, if McCain doesn't even know what's wrong?

 

[jaguarr]

How so?

Since when is the Democrat Party a one issue party?

Lieberman is locked in step with 9/10's of the Republican's platforms and issues and caters more to his buddies in that party than he does his own party. He's a DINO. Working across party lines is admirable; being a lackey to another party is another thing entirely.

Not only did the RNC have more Viewer than the DNC

They also received a Bigger Post Con Bump

I love your continued ignorance and hypocrisy.

Please show me a single example of hypocrisy on my part.

lol, okay pal. Who's been in charge for the last eight years again? The democrats really haven't had much of an opportunity to prove they are as 'evil' as the republicans.

LOL, cute. Who's been in charge the last two years? The Democrats. They have done nothing since. Instead of doing actual work, they do little publicity stunts like irrelevant, non binding bills on Iraq. Or going to vacation instead of addressing the oil crisis. For anyone to blame the Republicans for all of governments problems you prove yourself to not be worth discussing the matter with.

You could also look, if you would like, at the Clinton administration - one of the most corrupt and self serving Presidencies in American history. Look at his pardons (the ones he literally sold), look at the fact he SOLD nights in the Lincoln bedroom. Look at Travelgate.

Greed, corruption, incompetence - they know no party lines and they are EQUALLY prevalent in both.

Correction - USED to be a maverick. The man has turned his back on just about every ideal he had before 2006/2007 and has recently pandered to evangelical right as much as he possibly can. He used to be outraged at negative campaign tactics, and now he's all too willing to pump out ridiculous negative attack ads. He flat out lies about Palin's 'national security' experience. If you really believe that at this point in time, that McCain is a maverick, then you are kidding yourself.

When was McCain/Kennedy (yes - Teddy Kennedy) introduced?

Norman, why are you lying? If not to us then to yourself. You know that Palin has a history of taking pork money.

- Where in my post did I mention Palin taking pork money? How does that have to do with her history of butting heads with the Alaskan GOP?

And Palin's work as Governor has shown that she IS a politician who is willing to cut government waste. She has used her Veto well, and she has gotten rid of a lot of Governor luxuries that most politicians would never do.

then, why do you completely ignore them when they come from YOUR preferred party?

guess the Republicans have more free time than the democrats

Well, Obama's Speech was on 10 Networks and McCain's was on 6. Maybe more people have intrest in what the Republicans have to say.

It has been a joy to watch the Democrats come out and fight this "Bridge to Nowhere" business. John Kerry would've let that nonsense float out there until mid October.

I guess people were hoping they'd hear something different out of the Republicans for a change. Those poor, disappointed people.

Is that Bush in the Audience at 3:00?

Excellent points from Biden.

well, you have to admit.
while the DNC had that whole "change" message, plus, the "no one is unpatriotic" thing the RNC had that whole "change" message plus the "community service is laughable"

I can see how that would appeal to more people.
I mean, 8 years of the GOP and they have the balls to say "you need to let us clean up this mess....that....uh...we..made/voted for/perpetuated"

and they need to be brass, maybe that's why people saw it, because they couldn;t believe their ****ing eyes, like seeing David Blaine or something.

Lastest polls show McCain with 48.2% average and Obama 45.2% average.

If election held today?...Electoral votes would be tied 250-250.

McCain is enjoying a convention bump.

 

[Mr Sparkle]

and you know what? I think the concerns over him croaking are quite valid, did you see him "waking" on the stage at the RNC, c'mon, I mean he is pretty spry for a 72 year old but still.
plus, it's weird, as a teenager you spend your time thinking "man they should elect younger people president" and then you pick the OLDEST MAN ALIVE ever to walk the surface of the earth.
yeah, I'll bet he'll tackle the tough issues....

honestly this is one of my fears is that he will die in office.

Which is why I think it is important for the media and voters to figure out Palin, because of this possibility.

Their electoral map is not up to date according to RCP. I also love how FOX News puts out there +7 Ohio poll, while all other polling data suggests a dead heat, or Obama riding one or two points ahead.

McCain leads most polls.

Is this any surprise considering a week ago, following the DNC, Obama led in all polls except for one that was tied.

And he held that lead for an entire day.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

And he held that lead for an entire day.

Actually he held a clear lead from the seventeenth of August until the thirty-first. Only one poll showed McCain leading by a single point.
