Is McCain too old?

[trobinett]

It is not McCain's age that is so troublesome, it is the fact he sold his soul to the republican ideology church that is so discouraging. The man doesn't have the balls today to say anything is wrong. More of same, more of same, from John McSame we can do without.

"McCain approves of Bush’s war in Iraq and has vowed to stay the course. Although he originally opposed Bush’s tax cuts, McCain now pledges to make them permanent.

He also supports the privatizing of Social Security, which would put the retirement system at risk and add to the current federal deficit. Seemingly willing to do anything to get elected, McCain has flip-flopped on many issues to court conservative voters.

America has suffered greatly under President Bush. We don’t need to continue the pain with a McCain administration."

As opposed to YOU, selling YOUR sole to the church of Obama, and his "spiritual leader", you know the guy, the one that won't come out of hiding.

I'm soooooo impressed..........

Almost every thing Obama says I have found that he lied. Hillary has told one or two fibs.
McCain I don't think he's to old.

Total right wing bullshit. You have no real data so go with the church shit.

Great job, Rove.

So you say do nothing to Social Security, "brainiac", haven't you been paying attention it isn't going to be able to sustain itself, the report was just released this week.

So much name calling, you must be losing lots of brain cells. Eat more fish.

Social security is fine until 2040 from all I have heard and if raising the limit fixes till ???? do it. Sorry SS is not the problem, and did you read the quote.

McSame has sold his soul for this chance, if you guys like flip flop hypocrisy just say so, we'll forgive you your naivety. Raise taxes on the wealthy, make sure corporations pay their fair share and stop wasting money on bombs - problem solved. This ain't rocket science.

I would like to agree with you, but the media was black balling McCain to the point that they PIMPED every other candidate (except paul) to the public, and no one got any universal support from the conservatives, so they eventually started giving him attention again. Last fall some were predicting McCain to not last until January.

Not really, McCain had 95,000+ mentions by the media, compared to Paul who I believe had under 10,000. And those "mentions" are obviously relative. A Ron Paul mention might be a 30 second mention of a fundraising achievement, or a 2 minute interview in the early afternoon when everyone's at friggin work anyway, and then back to "Who's Ron Paul?". A McCain mention was a piece done during primetime, high rating shows.

The problem is that the establishment OVERALL, seems to prefer a more liberal and bigger government, and McCain fits that bill perfectly. It certainly was convenient that Bhutto was assinated, because that gave the media an opportunity to start pimping him again. And pimp him they DID. After that, he's taking public matching funds, and all the sudden the McCain Campaign is revived. The rest is history.

I think McCain is the "selectee" this election cycle, but I better be careful not to get too "conspiratorial".

EXAMPLE PLEASE!

When he says he's not a liberal, then says he thinks the money needs to be spread around.

When he says we can show our support for the troops by brining them home, and treating them real nice, while releasing them from duty.

I wasn't aware he claims to not be a liberal. Can you provide a link to this claim?

How does bringing our men home from a pointless war and out of harms way, anything but supporting them?

Care to explain what you mean by "pointless"?

How is disrespecting 4000 lives lost by bringing our troops home BEFORE the job is done NOT disrespecting our troops.

I await your your answer.

 

[Toro]

No.

EXAMPLE PLEASE!

One is that now Obama is saying that his church is 99 % white. He also says that he's not a racist. Youtube is not the only place I found the information on him. It was removed from some of the other places. There is a lot more but would be getting off topic.

Does Barack Obama belong to a cult?

1. Pointless because there is no purpose of this war. We have removed 1 dictator and are now stalling before the next dictator arises. I don't support nation-building (aka colonialism), and that type of foreign policy has brought down nations throughout history.

2. The job will NEVER be done. Get that through your skull. There is no "victor" in Iraq. We aren't there to fight terrorist. We are their to build a nation that we can call an ally. If you don't support socialism in America, then why support our socialist policies in Iraq?

3. If you are the captain of a sinking ship and half your crew has drowned already, is it disrespectful to throw the other crew members a few life jackets?

You think Obama is a racist. You think Obama said his church is 99% white. AND you get your news from one of the dumbest people in the news media.

I'd like to see what "a lot more" is, because surely you didn't provide your most concrete examples already...

An enormous percentage of taxes are payed by a minority of Americans:
The Top 1% of taxpayers pay 29% of all taxes.
The Top 5% of taxpayers pay 50% of all taxes.

http://www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/22917.html

Last year, for example, Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel proposed cutting the federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 30.5 percent. While a 5 percentage point cut in the federal corporate tax rate may sound significant, it may not be sufficient to meaningfully improve the competitiveness of the United States.

Currently, the average combined federal and state corporate tax rate in the U.S. is 39.3 percent, second among OECD countries to Japan's combined rate of 39.5 percent.1 Lowering the federal rate to 30.5 percent would only lower the U.S.'s ranking to fifth highest among industrialized countries.

Do you have "Compassion" for the lower income earners? (You may note that social spending is the largest item in our federal budget. (Anyone complaining about the run-up of the deficit, should note that almost all of it is going to social spending).


Suppose this is what your talking about? That low corporate tax, those rich fuckers not paying their share, and the defense department being the huge expense that it is????

Where did Obama say his Church was 99% white? Was he talking about the walls perhaps?

 

[JimH52]

It doesn't matter how old McCain is. The GOP is going to play the Wright tape over and over and scared the white voter away from Obama. The Dems are in the process of one of the greatest political choke job in the history of politics. bush hands them the White House and they blow it...

AMAZING!

Today, he told the majority African-American crowd that Trinity belonged to a majority white denomination, an unusual statement that the senator has never made before.

"United Church of Christ is, by the way, a 99 percent white denomination," Obama said.

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/26/819290.aspx

You would think the people that are voting for Obamais would know what he stands for and what he says being, that people back the ones that stand for the same. Obama is a reflection of those who back him.



More of Obama's fibs

"It's unfortunate that Senator Obama is using false advertising to explain why he can be trusted to do something about energy prices," Clinton spokesman Phil Singer said.  "Senator Obama says he doesn't take campaign contributions from oil companies but the reality is that Exxon, Shell, and others are among his donors."

Obama calls Wright issue a distraction

From NBC/NJ’s Aswini Anburajan
GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Obama defended his controversial former pastor the Rev. Jeremiah Wright today, on the heels of statements by Hillary Clinton that she would have left Wright's church had she been in Obama's place.

Obama invited the audience in Greensboro to come to Trinity United Church, the church Wright founded and where he preached for 30 years. Obama called it a "wonderful, welcoming church" that had a pastor who was "trying to teach a lesson connecting scripture to our daily lives and people struggle with illness and family and finances and all the things that people normally talk about."

Turning to Wright, Obama said his "former pastor said some objectionable things when I wasn't in church on those particular days, and I have condemned them out right."

But trying to contextualize Wright's comments, Obama added, "I do have to remind people though this is somebody who was preaching at least three sermons at least a week for 30 years. And so, [sic] got boiled down; They found five or six of his most offensive statements, boiled that down to a … half-minute sound clip and just played it over and over again."

He said the clips spoke "to some of the racial divisions that we have in this country and tapped into those divisions. I hope people don't get distracted by this because as I said in my speech last week on Tuesday; we can't afford to be distracted."

Yesterday, Clinton had said in an interview that individuals can't choose their relatives, but they can choose their churches. Her comments followed a week of silence on the issue and statements praising Obama's speech.

Asked about religion on the stump, Obama started to raise the issue of Wright's comments on his own last week and appeared critical of the media for replaying them on an "endless loop you YouTube and cable news," he has said, repeating a line from the Philadelphia speech.

Today, he told the majority African-American crowd that Trinity belonged to a majority white denomination, an unusual statement that the senator has never made before.

"United Church of Christ is, by the way, a 99 percent white denomination," Obama said.

Today, speaking to the young, white man who had asked Obama about his faith, he said that focusing on Wright was a distraction.

"You and I, we are both Christians," Obama said to the young man. "And even if you’re not a Christian, we are both Americans. And we cannot solve the problems of America, if every time somebody somewhere says something stupid that everybody gets up in arms."

Okay, so obviously Obama told a big one when he said the Church is 99% white. Where is the outrage in the media similar to Hillary's lie about running under fire from a plane? So is the media annointing Obama? It seems so to me...

What a group of candidates we have here!....aarrggg
