The McCain Thread

[redfirebird2008]

Holy crap. $50 an hour?? I've never earned that much.

McCain seems to be saying a string of dump crap lately. The media needs to play this stuff up. Obama? I'm not sure how negative his ads should be. I mean, a clip of McCain saying this, played repeatidly... it would do a lot of damage.

Or this:

What a dolt. $50 an hour isn't enough to get an American to pick lettuce, eh McRetard? This guy is completely out of touch.

LMAO! Yeah, because wages of that nature for picking produce certainly wouldn't cause the price of said produce to go through the ceiling and make demand for it practically non-existent and therefore crash that entire market, would it?

Combine this with the $300 million Super Awesome Car Battery Extravaganza!!! and his insistence that we continue to cut taxes even though our economy can't handle it and it appears as though McCain is saying anything he can to buy votes off of average voters...

And play that clip of Phil Gramm calling Americans whiners over and over again and saying that the problems with the economy are all in their head.

Yeah, let's cut taxes AND bring back the draft so that we can, you know, start up more wars with the likes of Iran and Russia using our bad credit with China. Wonderful idea!

This is hilarious:

And the Obama campaign in Florida and Pennsylvania has sent out a release lauding the launch of a "statewide search to find Floridians/Pennsylvanians who, like John McCain, have so many homes that they just can&#8217;t keep track of the number."

From the Pennsylvania release:

The campaign will spend the day surveying Pennsylvanians by phone to ask this question:

&#8220;Yesterday, John McCain couldn&#8217;t remember how many homes he owns because he has so many. The Obama campaign is trying to find Pennsylvanians who, like McCain, have lost track of the number of homes they own. Do you know how many homes you own?&#8221;

The campaign will announce the results of the search late this afternoon and they will produce a video of the responses they get in Love Park.

McCain is very, very dangerous.

that's an understatement.

Has anyone wondered why John McCain hasn't made his military records public? Something tells me that behind the oh-so-heroic POW story of his, he's hiding a lot of unwanted memories. You know, like all the planes he crashed, all the commanding officers he disobeyed, his temper in general...

These points are something brought up by the Huffington Post a while back, which says that McCain may actually dread an Obama-Clark ticket. Why? Because Clark has a military record which has been examined by the public for years; McCain has a record which has been shrouded in secrecy-- other than the whole "I was tortured" bit we've heard time and time again:

i kinda hope Clark is Obama's veep now. after all, there are a slew of Vietnam vets that will attest to McCain's behavior as a POW...

I actually watched that live earlier. Obama was on fire. Really nailing the issues when people asked questions. He was pretty funny too and got in some nice jabs at McCain.

And this gets me too. This guy calls Americans "whiners" (or claims that we're facing a "mental recession") among ALL the problems the average family is facing right now and NO one is really calling him out on it. It's an outright slap to the face of EVERY American and Obama, is suppose to be the "elitist" here?

That's because John McCain gets more of a free ride from the media than any politician in America right now. It's been that way his entire career. Otherwise, he'd be sunk. The guy's career is loaded with flip-flops, gaffes, and outright insensitivity to the general consensus on certain issues in America (cough...we don't like wars...cough).

 

[The Senator]

As I've said, forgetfulness appears to run rampant in the McCain household:

• McCain can't remember how many houses he owns
• Roberta McCain "swears on the Bible" that she didn't sue her son's first wife (she did)
• McCain can't remember the times he said he knows nothing about the economy (he said it in 2000, 2007, and 2008)
• McCain seems to forget that he left his first wife because she was a cripple (according to H. Ross Perot, a former family friend, that was exactly what happened)

AND... combine that with his questionable judgment/ numerous character flaws:

• McCain refers to an entire race of people as "gooks"
• McCain calls his current wife a "trollop" and possibly the c-word
• McCain is infamous for his hot-blooded temper, not only in the Senate but during his years in the military
• One of the reasons why McCain probably supports tax cuts for the wealthy? Because his wife is worth over $100 million
• McCain claims to be a man of faith, but he conveniently left the Episcopalian church and became a Baptist right before he announced his plans to run for President... seems odd that a man in his 70s would just up and leave the church he's been attending for decades.
• Add into this his constant flip-flops on abortion, gay rights, torture, etc.

I can't wait for the McCain presidency

All I know is, anyone so willing to lie about all the little things like John McCain (and his wife) is, is going to have NO problem lying about the big things.

Apparently Cindy McCain even lied about meeting Mother Theresa. How pathetic is that? LOL.

Almost as pathetic as Mitt Romney lying about how his father marched alongside Martin Luther King, Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement.

Just think, McCain-Romney could bring us two masters of deception for the price of one...

Your going to need something more credible than youtube video's by a group calling themselves "The Young Turks"

That's it, Ignore the message, Attack the messenger.

i wish things like that would get more attention. if what they say is true then it just proves that McCain is scum. if it turns out false then it will strengthen McCain's military record.

Considering the fact that if I posted a story about Obama from an obscure Conservative think tape, it wouldn't have any credibility at all - yes, I am not going to waste time with it.

10 homes. So apparently Obama is lowballing it in that new advertisement. LMFAO!

But McCain originally opposed those same tax cuts and only supports the tax cuts because not continuing them results in a tax increase.

Yes, he flip-flopped on taxes, too. Thanks for pointing that out for me
