McCain Camp Wants to Postpone VP Debate

[oreo]

yea b/c dealing with major issues than a debate is being a chicken

The Obama campaign put out a statement two days ago, not to expect to much with this foreign policy debate with John McCain. They were already setting Barack Obama up with a loss.

Let's face it--we're winning in Iraq--the surge has worked. McCain, against all opposition from the democrat lead congress fought for the surge. This while Obama was calling for retreat & defeat, therefore surrendering to terrorists & insurgents.

Obama stated: THAT THE SURGE WOULD BE A TOTAL FAILURE, & WOULD ONLY MAKE THINGS WORSE! Over this last summer, there were more murders in the City of Chicago than there were in Iraq.

Barack Obama just missed a good ass kicking on Friday Night, because John McCain AGAIN, put his country FIRST.

Barack Obama does not want to postpone this debate for one week, because he has already memorized his one liners. He's been working on it for at least the last week.

While, we have John McCain ready to throw a certain 1st Presidential debate WIN--he is in Washington D.C. to bring Dems. & Repub. together to fix a financial crisis that meets the disaster of the 1930's.

There are politicians that use the word change to promote their careers, & then there are politicians that use their careers to make change.

and neither can 95% of congress or 99.999999% of Americans. What a joke.

Wow, you are so in the tank for the poor little Alaskan beauty queen.

Here's a hint: If your going to make the thesis in your interview, that your boss is a crusading reformer who's been on top of regulating american business, and providing oversight, you better have some fucking examples to back up that assertion.

 

[dilloduck]

Glad to see we're all on the same page all.

LMAO--you outta be proud sheeple !

 

[jschuck12001]

She could have asked her about legalizing pot I guess.


Wonder how she would have answered that?

I bet she makes one hell of a Moose knuckle hash pie.

Really, maybe thats because there isnt any.

Forgive me if I missed this, but has anyone mentioned that the McCain camp is attempting to postpone the VP debate as well?

It seems obvious to me that this is a potentially brilliant political maneuver by McCain. He's losing ground because no one trusts Republicans with the economy any more. (Even you Neocons must admit, you're voting for him because of social issues, and just paying lip service to the rest of the platform.) So McCain appears to be putting "Country First" by halting his campaign, gains time to regroup for some new strategery, and buy Palin more time to prep for her debate.

Too bad Bush neutralized the plan a bit by inviting Obama to Washington. Now Obama gets to address the crisis alongside McCain without appearing weak for caving and following behind McCain.

Personally, I don't think this is a gamble that will work for McCain. The public is pretty fed up with BS at this point, and will see this for the political grandstanding that it is. McCain may have had a little more credibility here if he hadn't been spreading so many blatant falsehoods over the last few weeks.

And, as an aside, WillowTree's avatar is TERRIFYING.

 

[jschuck12001]

I can't wait for Obama to win. The first Federally Observed gay marriage on the White House front lawn. Then the two men will spend the night in the Lincoln bedroom, then off to clone a baby and adopt it. The next day we will show you tittys on tv and we will legalize drugs, after we confiscate your guns. Then off to let gitmo prisoners go, apologize and let them sue the us taxpayers. Then tax the rich, increase welfare payments and give bums free housing. Last, have 1st graders practice oral on each other. socialize everything!

I'm for the titties on tv.

Well said, brother.

[jschuck12001]

Like I said---they didnt know that either. You mean you can't recognize an ambush when you see one ?

If the woman is going to talk about nothing but reform and that John Mccain is a maverick, you would think she would have enough sense to dig up some of the reform he has done. How do you preach something and not even know what you are preaching about, how can you defend her Dillio

 

[jreeves]

why can't they debate is the question..

as pointed out on Rachel Maddow's show

Reagan and Carter debated in the middle of the hostage crisis

Bush and Gore debated days after the USS Cole was hit

Nixon and Kennedy debated days after a bomb in time square killed 30 people


the campaign goes on people

Obama is right.. the president needs to be able to focus on more than one thing at a time and if McCain can't then he's going to look stupid and ill equiped to be President...



town hall meetings? like the ones McCain stacks with his own supporters to bolster the appearance that people actually like him?

Obama wasn't obligated to meet McCain at those town hall meetings... I've never heard such cry baby bullshit in my life... there are three scheduled debates... McCain and Obama should be ready to face each other there... otherwise they stump to their party loyals and the rest works itself out.

McCain keeps saying "if only" Obama had met him at the town hall meetings this campaign would be different? in what way? is it Obama's fault that McCain has lost all integrity and honor in this campaign? is that like when a kid shoplifts and then blames his friend for not stopping him? it's BULLSHIT!

If they both agreed to the town hall format meetings Obama would have supporters to right? I guess you would rather the liberal media ask the questions rather than average everyday voters. That does figure.

Is this a perfect example of Mccain losing his integrity?

Of course there's an answer to the question ---it is zero. You didn't even know that until tonight along with the rest of the country. It was an ambush---no wonder she doesn't prance around like a media puppet.

Ambush ... lol

You dont know shit about me and when I look into John Mccains past I see scandal among other things. How can it be an ambush when according to you it was such an easy question to answer because the answer is none. What kind of questions would you ask her, by the way, I'm not running for VP, I have a job, thanks

You may want to wait until the DC event is over before making any predictions on this one. People are having a tendency to get caught flat-footed these days. If I had a nickle for every wrong prediction I could pay off the Debt myself.

The Obama
Let's face it--we're winning in Iraq--the surge has worked. MR
McCain AGAIN, put his country [/COLOR]FIRST.

While, we have John McCain ready to throw a certain 1st Presidential debate WIN--he is in Washington D.C. to bring Dems. & Repub. together to fix a financial crisis that meets the disaster of the 1930's.

There are politicians that use the word change to promote their careers, & then there are politicians that use their careers to make change.

So mccain is going to vote for a socialist bailout?

And what are we winning in iraq? They have $90 billion reserve and we continue to pay $20 billion a month. Where's Bin Ladin? How's pakistan? Georgia, russia, iran, n. korea. We're winning? Remember reagan broke the ussr? Now we're being broken.

You and your kind are almost traitors. You don't even benefit. God knows what issues you have to make you defend them. I have my theories. It could only be 5 things, or a combo of a few. rich, racist, dumb, god, guns.

you aren't rich enough so I take that one out. do you care about gays and abortion? are you racist? that could fall into the dumb category. i'm going with dumb.

 

[oreo]

Robert you know and I know, there is no way in hell if this goes through, we ALL are not going to have to pay for it. I said the other day. and I am putting it in bold so there is no mistake. If John McCain votes to approve this bailout, I WILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM. . I want him there, to put a stop to this, if he can't then do something thats going to help, the real housing situation and i.e. the massive amount of inventory thats out there and sitting on the banks books. As for the interest rates, you think 0% for the next 1000 years is good? lol j/k

I don't like this bailout either. The point is: The federal government has no business being in the private sector. This happened during the Carter adminstration--along with democrats whom believe that all people, including the non-working sector parisites of our society--deserve to live in the same manner as those who continually work their butts off.

It has exaserbated since the 70's to where these people where able to borrow money at a much lower rate than you & I, & even without having to prove income, credibility, or if they even worked at all.

Now--we're in a major--critical situation. You & I are screwed if we don't bail these institutions out. I as a 35 year small business person--who have an excellent credit rating, pay my mortgage, pay my employees am going to be in very deep Kim Chee if I cannot go to my bank & borrow money when I need too.

So we have to make the best choice. To not vote for John McCain the more conservative of the two, is just casting a vote for the more liberal of the two, whom has stated he wants to give 50 BILLION dollars per year to the (UN) United Nations to fight world hunger! He wants to tax everyone, & claims he will give tax breaks to people who don't pay taxes in the first place. He will tax me, (small business) the largest employer of this country. Then he promises many more big spending bills.

So no matter what mess we're in, no one likes it--but if you really want a change to more conservative governmental policies, we have only once choice. That's JOHN McCAIN.

Government is not the solution, it's the problem! RONALD REAGAN

My experience as that this type of attitude is almost exclusively seen in closeted homosexuals.... So my vote is for "care about gays" as the explanation.

You know oreo, I have been a member of the republican party for as long as I can remember, but this whole mess stinks to high heaven. If I had someone under my command that managed their affairs the way these people have managed theirs I would have them up on charges. That aside, from a tax standpoint, I have come to the conclusion that to support a bailout sends a message that says "irresponsibility" is a legitimate reason to have the American tac payer come to your rescue. I am under no illusions that the bill for this is not going to be on anyones shoulders but mine, my kids, and the rest of the American taxpayer's. That is why I am going to be true to my word and not support anyone that supports this bill. If the bill was put together in such a way as to really do something , like reduce the staggering amount of home inventory on the market, and require all these companies that got us into this mess, to put up some collateral for this big "bailout" like, their corporate jets, their bulidings, their yachts, their second and third homes in the Hamptons and Aspen, then it might make some sense. If John McCain simply rubber stamps a blank check for the Fed. then I am sorry to say, I will write in my own candidate for president, at the moment my teenage daughter is looking more qualified than most of them.

let me try it one more time for the simple minded--Couric is a liberal as you can get. She and her minions planned a catch-22 question for Palin. An obscure question that would have stumped MANY experienced politicians. There was an answer and the answer was zero. Couric was going bananas to get Palin to either :

1 Answer the question correctly which would have been embarassing as hell to McCain.
2 Not answer it and appear ignorant.

Palin walked the fence while Couric was pushing for either of the above to happen. Palin put and end to the nonsense by telling her that she would find out and get back to her. Do you REALLY think Couric wants to do a follow up interview or even hear an answer ????

Jesus Christ, did you sign up for the McCain campaign gimmick where they pay people to spin for them on internet forums?

You can't possibly be this dumb.

Here's a clue. Turn on the television Sunday morning. Any sunday morning.

There's always about 20 network and cable news programs, where Republican politicians are being interviewed by journalists. And the vast majority of the time they either have the knowlege, or the skill to do relatively well in those interviews.

The fact that Palin has been looking like an idiot says a lot about her. It doesn't say anything about Katie Couric.
