The McCain Pitch

No matter how hard I try, I can NEVER explain why so many voters consider McCain's 5-1/2 years as a Viet Cong POW any qualification for POTUS. So you get incarcerated, beaten up, deprived of food, and tortured.

How does this experience help in solving the housing crisis, the economic downturn, soaring gas prices, or global warming?

Any person with a thimble-sized brain would also realize that to address the Iran nuclear issue, Hamas, or Iraq, you need diplomatic skills and an understanding on the international issues, BUT NOT A MILITARY RESUME!!!

McCain-Romney is the Republican ticket. Romney fills the gaps and compliments McCain. Romney is well liked with young voters. Mitt's economic prowess will prove useful to recover from our recession. McCain can focus on resolve abroad and make homeland safe. More importantly the republican ticket needs to inspire. After McCain and Romney set solid goals for our country they will inspire leadership and excite our country. Romney would also bring more campaign money to sell the republican ticket and compete with Obama.

Bill Clinton's style is very different. He is a small town guy and he is more about human connection. BHO is the cultist style. He behaves as if he is a god. It makes me think of some kind of magic attraction on the crowd and I just hate that kind of thing.

It would be interesting to find out where the money comes from for BHO campaigning. I don't believe it's only from small donors.
As one blogger put it, in a time when people have to cut down on expenses, it seems like they are very generous for BHO.
Anyway I ended up reading on the website the story of Mc Cain during his POW years in Hanoi prisons, and it seems very clear that he knows what patriotism is all about. He is a safe value, when it comes down to this; compared to BHO who we don't know he is for sure.
How can the press and media not dig more into this issue to give more examination of his true character, his real thinking ?
Don't people realize that they are going to vote for a candidate who will detain all the secret records of the United States?
When is the press going to do their jobs for good?

I don't understand why Obama gets criticized for being a "rock star" when Bill Clinton held the SAME STATUS, SAME ADULATION, back in the day.And before anyone really knew who he was.

OBAMA 08!

Please explain. How?

"The majority of Dems will remember the person who stayed in the race with mathematically no chance of winning and caused enough devisiveness to cost us an election."

Nope. It doesn't work that way. People remember the most recent events and they become nostalgic for missed opportunities. Obama will increasingly be seen as the candidate of generational warfare and divisive politics. Clinton did win the majority and that will be remembered because people dwell on hurts longer.

Clinton will rise in popularity even as Obama plunges. McCain is the beneficiary of that in the short term. Obama will be the second term of Jimmy Carter and that guarantees 8 to 12 years of Republicans in the White House should Obama manage a win.

Obama® became popular because he became a brand name. He was advertised, hyped up, and sold to us like any crappy, obnoxious song they play over and over on the radio. Eventually, after so much bombardment, everyone gets in line. It's really sad.

HRC is gone, out, stepped down, whatever you want to call it.

Enough already!

This is a blog about McCain and yet the HRC WHINERS CLUB still feels the need to cry - or is "find their voice" what it's called now. I'd hate to "misspeak".

LET ME HELP YOU:

WE MUST BLAME EVERYONE ELSE

It’s Obama’s fault
It’s the DNC’s fault
It’s Mark Penn’s fault
It’s the right wing conspiracy’s fault
It’s the left wing conspiracy’s fault
It’s Howard Dean’s fault
It’s the FL & MI delegations’ fault
It’s the African American’s fault
It’s the educated voters’ fault
It’s the radical’s fault
It’s the caucus’ fault
It’s the students’ fault
It’s Bill’s fault
It’s the media’s fault
It’s the primary systems’ fault
It’s sexist America’s fault
It’s those mean Reverends’ fault
It’s Move On’s fault – New one from Bill yesterday
It’s the Rules Committee’s fault

Actually, it’s the MAJORITY of VOTERS, states, pledged delegates, and super delegates who did not want Hillary as the nominee. Blame them!

McCain has a very proven track record. He has truly been a maverick who reached across the aisle....he has risked his own standing as a Republican to stand up for his own principles....

McCain vs Obama...I'll take the hero over the poser any time!

NoBama

Urban legend about McCain calling Cindy a horrible slur....supply audio please. Meanwhile we have volumes on Obama's audio negatives...and the one we're all waiting to drop too....Michelle using the term "whitey" with Mrs. Farrakhan in Trinity. It's under Republican lock and key until two weeks before 11/3.

For those who want to use abortion issue to scare demos for McCain, here are some facts to consider.

In a 1999 interview with the San Francisco Chronicle editorial board, McCain said, "I would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade, which would then force X number of women in America" to undergo "illegal and dangerous operations."

George W. Bush turned that statement against him in the 2000 race for the GOP nomination. The National Right to Life Committee ran ads denouncing McCain -- one reason he lost the important South Carolina primary to Bush.

Wow, are the American people so dumb they can be bought? Obama outspent Hillary in Ohio, Penn, WV, KY, etc and he still lost those states. Matter of fact the "presumptive" nominee lost the last 9 out of 14 primaries....what a winner...limping over the finish line with the help of super delegates.
THIS PRESIDENCY WILL NOT BE BOUGHT BY OBAMA'S BILLIONAIRE LIBERALS.
VOTE McCAIN!!!

>> The Reason | Jun 10, 2008 2:03:37 AM:

Bill Clinton will go down in history as one of the best presidents we have ever had.

If anything, Obama might make his name as the Knight of the Second Civil War.

Do NOT say that Hillary has no claim to this election; she DID win the popular vote : Hillary: 17,802,135
BARACK : 17,501,999
This was the final count with Michigan and Florida included.

AND yes..... I understand that people don't count in the Democratic party... only DELEGATES do, and delegates can and DO sell their "power" (our votes) to the highest bidder ..

But NO. I don't think this is the scenario our founding fathers dreamed about when they set up this "more perfect union:...

The DNC is broken.
The Media should be ashamed of itself!

Hillary was the best of the candidates.

I will not vote for a nominee who has been force fed to this party.

But I will vote!

COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY!!!

However we have plenty of video of Obama's best pals calling whites all sorts of names.
-------------
Really? Where? Let's see them!

What? You don't want to show them? No one has actually seen them? There's not a single post ANYWHERE that has them?Oh, let me guess, you're "saving" them?

Uh, Sure. Whatever you say. Urban legend number 341.

Obama has already embarrassed himself by choosing Eric Holder (of Marc Rich pardon fame) to help him find a VP.

Obama's judgment is unfreakinbelievable.

You got video or audio of McCain calling his wife a bad name? Then sorry, that won't work. Nice try though.

However we have plenty of video of Obama's best pals calling whites all sorts of names.

And that's why he's toast.

John McCain "Experience" and "Judgement"

"There’s not a history of clashes that are violent between Sunnis and Shiahs. So I think they can probably get along." [MSNBC, 4/23/03]

" I believe that the success will be fairly easy," [CNN, 9/24/02]

"We’re not going to get into house-to-house fighting in Baghdad." [CNN, 9/29/02]

"But the point is that, one, we will win this conflict. We will win it easily." [MSNBC, 1/22/03]

"But I believe that the Iraqi people will greet us as liberators." [NBC, 3/20/03]

"It’s clear that the end is very much in sight." [ABC, 4/9/03]

"This is a mission accomplished." [This Week, ABC, 12/14/03]

OLD IS NOT THE SAME AS WISE

Sorry, but there will be no President Clinton. Not in 2008.

Sen Clinton 2012? Not happening either. The Dems will not want a repeat of this primary.

We'll either have an incumbant President (which is likely), or I suppose you can hope that the "I told you so" vendictive vote is enough to get McCain elected.

But electing McCain will not help Sen Clinton in 2012.

Obama IS the nominee by all counts. The majority of Dems will remember the person who stayed in the race with mathematically no chance of winning and caused enough devisiveness to cost us an election. You don't have to agree with the rationale, but you can be sure it won't be Obama they blame. If you're voting McCain, it's your fault, not Obama's, that we lost.

Barack EARNED the nomination by geting more votes, more states, more pledged delegates, and more super delegates.

Sen Clinton has no claim to the nomination except perhaps the extortionist tactics of her supporters -the "I'll vote McCain and show you" crowd. Do you really think the rest of the Dems will vote for Hillary in 2012 if they caused us to lose in 2008? Not a chance that will happen no matter how much you want it.

If you really want a woman President, get someone like Kathleen Sebelius to run and you might get her in the White House. But it won't be another Clinton.

QUESTIONER, you're living in fantasyland. Hillary (and Bill) are HATED by the GOP. Did you forget she started this campaign with a 50% negative rating? Where do you think the majority of that 50% comes from?

OBAMA 08!
