The McCain Thread

[The Chairman]

I am going to take the words of Michelle Obama over the words of her husband who wrote a book with the fact he had much higher political aspirations on his mind. Of course Obama is going to whitewash everything he can in that book - as he should.

He wrote it before she even made the claims. I know Barack had high hopes at the time, but I refuse to believe he's sneaky and underhanded enough to exagerrate or make up a quote from his wife just to make them seem more American and this likeable to the people. This you trying to come up with anything you can to undermine Barack. You take one quote from her and act like it defines her whole persona.

Also, I don't think the American government should be funding tax dollars to the aid of other countries. It should be left charity organizations like the Red Cross. The government should only directly fund the people and organizations of its country. Just my point of view.

Was it this thread or the Obama thread where Norman was talking about how he didn't like how misstatements were being used?

Yeah - that's exactly what Norman is doing with Michelle Obama.

What is of more concern to me, is that Cindy McCain would lie about meeting Mother Theresa on several occasions. You can't make a misstatement out of that - she lied. Whereas what Michelle said, she's since cleared it up, and it was fairly obvious from the beginning she perhaps didn't choose her words too wisely, its very unlikely she literally meant she's never been proud to be an American.

Here's Michelle talking about it on The View.

The CSM article never said that Cindy McCain never met Mother Theresa - only that Mother Theresa did not personally ask Cindy to adopt two kids. Though the kids WERE adopted from an agency founded by Mother Theresa.

The same article, I believe, mentioned that the McCain may have in fact met Mother Theresa at a later time.

Also - of course Michelle has since cleared it up, that doesn't mean she didn't not mean it at the time. Michelle Obama has been a weak spot for her husband, she doesn't click well with most of America which is why she has been kept more behind the scenes.

As opposed to trotting her out front and center to call her a trollop and a "c**t"?

Or offering her up to a bunch of drooling bikers at a biker rally.

Again, read Obama's book. Obama started writing it just before he became a senator. He was just barely a big name thanks to his keynote speach. He had just moved up from being a blip on the political radar. He had nor eason to fabricate or outright make up quotes from his wife.

Truly not cool if it's true.

I wish he'd followed through and entered her in the wet t-shirt contest like he said he would.

I sincerely hope that's not true. There is becoming too many 'situations' at the campaign headquarters...on both sides of the aisle.

McCain turns Bush on Iraq war surge
http://washingtontimes.com/news/2008/aug/21/mccain-turns-bush-on-iraq-war-surge/


*Mr. McCain sent a private letter to Mr. Bush on Dec. 12, 2006, that challenged the president to show the "will" to win the Iraq war by deploying 20,000 troops into Baghdad and the Sunni Triangle to beat back a growing insurgency.*

It has been confirmed by the McCain campaign.

Ugh.

 

[Spider-Bite]

although this is horrible either way, I hope it's terrorist related and not the work of an angry leftist.

You guys remember that conservative who shot up the liberal church because he hated liberals and gays?

An angry liberal is no different from an angry conservative. Any person (regardless of party) who participates in an action such as this is a terrorist.

I would actually prefer it be a hardcore conservative who is against McCain's views on some of the "values" issues....

Exactly.

The criminal's political ideologies are not important.

If I was working for McCain - I wouldn't mind that either.

White Powder Has Been Found At Another McCain Headquarters.

Ugh, what idiot is behind this.

If its someone on the left, don't the morons realize they'd just rally more people around McCain?

Wow, this is scary.
