Way to go Kevin. Best reason to vote for McCain -Obama supporters.

HES UNFAZED BEAUSE HES TO OLD TO REMEMBER THE TOPIC!

Johnny and Joey need to get a room!

Well, gee, John, that's awfully nice of you not to take offense, but do you think calling Obama a friend of Hamas might have been a bit offensive from Obama's point of view?
If not, you may have lost more than your bearings.
That was a cheap shot to say the least!

Sen. Hillary Clinton should consider running independently! The polls indicate that she can win--she can beat both Obama and McCain in a three way match-up!

Chuck,

"she can beat both Obama and McCain in a three way match-up!"

Do you care to share where you found these numbers? On its face, this is a ludicrous claim. Say she got 50% of the Dem vote, which will be roughly over half of the voters in November, where would she get the rest? Republicans? If you actually think that any meaningful number of Republicans like her or want her to be prez, you must have the Columbian Cartel's number on speed dial.

If Hillary could not win the Democratic primaries vote, how would she win the general election? All of the Republicans that voted for her in primaries would vote for McCain, and all of the Democrats that voted for Obama evidently want him to be the president and not her. She would be the Ross Perot/Ralph Nader of the election.

I watched that interview and there was no way that could have been construed as a poke at McCain's age. Perhaps his ethics, but not his age.

Seems like kind of a dumb reach on Salter's part. Obama ignores about 20 of those kinds of comments a day out of Clinton.

McCain must be senile if he thinks that Obama was talking about his age. He wasn't. He was talking about McCain's "moral compass" which has so many holes in it with his Hamaas smear that he has indeed LOST HIS BEARINGS.

The soul of McCain will be tainted by this race.

He is OBVIOUSLY NOT going to run a campaign based upon the issues.

McCain is a FRAUD.

Senator McCain should be the very last individual to take that cheap shot about Hamas' preference for Obama. is it Obama's fault that they find Obama a more appealing leader?

Moving forward to the general elections, I hope McCain remembers that he adopted a NON-WHITE child and remember how certain racists comments were used against him when he was running against George Bush.

We expect certain behaviour from Hillary and Bill Clinton...NOT McCain!
Also, with reference to guilt by association, I hope he knows that America remembers the Keating 5 issue!

I find this so funny. This all started with that snide crack about Hammas and Obama. Recently, McCain's Michigan staff fired a suspected terrorist supporter that Bush also had on his staff. Seemed kind of interesting, given the timing.
Did they fire him because he supports terrorist causes or because the press found out he was working for McCain?

I'm a little confused myself. What does age have to do with losing one's bearings? How can that statement validly be read as some sort of age-ist remark, unless the person making that interpretation has a faulty idea that losing one's bearings comes with age? McCain needs to find smarter advisors.

The DNC has lost it's bearings.
I am voting for McCain via...writing Hillary in on my Nov ballot.
Hillary run as an independent we will vote for you and we will support you.
The old guy and the newbie will not win.

"Obama is a pro-Palestinian surrounded and supported by anti-Semites. Hamas has endorsed him. Beware his plans for the Middle East." --- wrote HoosierSue

---------------------

Obama spent last night in Wash DC at the Israeli embassy, celebrating the 60th anniversary of their Independence.

Just because you like to spread lies about him, doesn't mean anyone else buys it.

The only ones who brought up the age comment was McCain. Obama never said anything about age.

Hillary as an independent? What a great idea! Where do I sign? Obama is a left wing nut who has his head so far where the sun doesn't shine that he's starting to believe all the hyperbole he has been spouting the past year. Want absolutely nothing to get accomplished for the next 4 years? Then vote Obama!

I am sick and tired of all these sore losers who can't get past their Hillary vision. She needs to throw in the towel. It comes down to Obama and McCain. Pick one. Don't waste your time crying over Hillary... I am sure she will find some other way to try and fill her hunger for power. Oh yeah I almost forgot... VOTE 4 McCAIN!

"No Country for Old Men!!!
no more needs to be said except:
Barack Obama & Bill Richardson 2008!!!"

Bill Richardson is a rabid Mexican reconquista zealot

If the pubic perceives that Obama - I mean the real brain trust of Kerry kennedy and Pelosi - is trying to get rid of Bill and HIllary, Obama will lose the general election.

Exactly. It is the reason I left the Dem party. I will not have them diss Hillary and shove the Obamnation down my throat.

President Barack H. Obama, the 44th President of the United States.

This seems a pretty silly rehash of yesterday's blog. It is not a "nasty" attack to comment on how John McCain has started doubletalking past all of his previous positions. He really has lost his way in trying to become President from the man he was several years ago. That's what "losing his bearings" means; and who cares anyway? Why pick apart a few words here and there?

Even more to the point is that McCain's insistence on this Hamas nonissue as an issue. If you don't like Obama, then fine, but this is pretty ridiculous. And it won't make a difference for the price of oil or healthcare or anything else important.

Andrew,

"I am sure she will find some other way to try and fill her hunger for power"

Yeah, let her go back and terrorize those NY idiots that are too stupid to realize that she was nothing more than sleazy carpetbagger.

McCain is really, really reaching to play the age card, if he thinks the expression 'losing his bearings' has anything at all to do with age. It simply shows how out of touch he is -- or, oh dear, is that expression "ageist too??"

HP,

"Exactly. It is the reason I left the Dem party. I will not have them diss Hillary and shove the Obamnation down my throat."

How exactly is the result of the democratic process shoving something down your throat? You left the dem party over this? Impressive.

I'd prefer "nothing" to war, debt and FEAR.

McCain hasn't lost his pander-to-the-luantic-right bearing.

Full speed ahead, Jesus is coming! ARRRRRRRMAAGEDDON BABY!

McCain won't lose the election because he's old; he'll lose because he's missing in action when it comes to idea for universal health care, our growing national debt, high energy costs, and the ever eroding value of the dollar!

McCain won't lose the election because he's old; he'll lose because he's missing in action when it comes to idea for universal health care, our growing national debt, high energy costs, and the ever eroding value of the dollar!

Wow! McCain has sold his soul to the devil for campaign financing he did not even need. Too bad. He stood a better chance for president (despite pundant and Limbaugh analysis) with conservatives, independants and even democrats prior to his walk on the darkside. Admit it folks, no one believes McCain would followup on any of Bush's policies if he got elected. Bush called it: He's a real flip flopper. I won't vote for that

Dude,

"McCain hasn't lost his pander-to-the-luantic-right bearing.

Full speed ahead, Jesus is coming! ARRRRRRRMAAGEDDON BABY!"

How is this not obvious to everyone else? Media always gets the brunt of the blame, but at some point the American people need to wake the F*** up and stop being dipsh** lemmings.

I won't vote Obama either. His supporters have perpetuated the worst acts of sexism I have seen in my lifetime...and they continue on and on. Keep it up, watch me vote for McCain in spite.

I have a been a democrat for 16 years, and have never waivered in my support for the democrat. But I will not support the Obama or his people who have trashed Hillary Clinton and called her everything from a C*nt to a B*tch.

I am happy at this point to watch them all go down. They deserve every bit of it for all their nastiness and self-righteousness.

And I am NOT alone. Women who care will unite against this. Women with low self-esteem vote Obama.

Obama may win or he may not, but regardless, America will still be in big trouble in the future because of the problem we have with ignorance. That would be for starters the 49% who thought Dubya was a good idea, and then include all the other stupid crap that is accepted as truth by a gullible public. And now that reality has slapped the ignorant awake, they are now spouting more ignorance about Dems, Clinton, Obama and so on. America is fine, it's what's wrong with Americans that will do us in eventually. How can we avoid this? Get more education, or at least some. Read lots of good books, magazines, and newspapers. Listen rather than speak. Yeah right, good luck with that one Bob.

Wonderful! You could not have explained the situation better! This is such a NON ISSUE! McCain SHOULD actually show his age...by showing a little MATURITY and WISDOM and not stoop to such low tactics to get his name in the papers while trying to put Obama in a negative light!

Of course...when and if... Obamam makes a mistake he should be made to explain .....but THIS? Maybe McCain might not be not losing his "bearings" as his aides claim......BUT maybe he should watch out for "lose screws" and making sure he has all his "marbles" too! (SMILE)

Miss,

"I have a been a democrat for 16 years, and have never waivered in my support for the democrat. But I will not support the Obama or his people who have trashed Hillary Clinton and called her everything from a C*nt to a B*tch."

Have you heard some of things out of Clnton supporter's mouths? I don't hold her personally responsible for her lunatic supporters. This is a cop-out

"Women with low self-esteem vote Obama."

You are a moron. How can you make such a blanket statement? Maybe some people don't vote genitals.

Lemmings are what Obamacons are. Drink the kool aid if you want to, be he is just an effete liberal racist snob.

He is a dream candidate to the blame America first crowd!

Joe Lieberman "personally checked John McCain's bearings"?!! Wide stance?

"Maybe some people don't vote genitals."

Maybe some people should. I don't fault blacks for supporting their cause with their votes. And admit it, neither do you.

Voting for a woman who shares most policies with Obama because she is a woman is a totally legitimate reason to vote for Clinton.

And if you are a woman 'X' I hope you enjoy your .77¢ you make to a man's dollar!

Cheers!

Jimmy Jenius has got it right

I am having fun watching Obama lose in the General election!!!!!

And the obamabots are completely to blame!!

Yay!!!!!!!

Women for Obama have low self-esteem!

Spread the word--it fits and it sends them through the roof.

They can't support a woman because they feel threatened and jealous and petty.

Believe me, folks, use it--they can't stand to be confronted with the truth about themselves.

MissTickly,
Clinton shares more policies with McCain than Obama. Suggesting that people should vote for Clinton just because of her gender goes 180° against the feminist indignance you express in your last paragraph. What do you want, equality, or special treatment?

Interpreting Obama's words about McCain "losing his bearings" as a slight against McCain's age is a real stretch and a not particularly clever way of trying to cast McCain as a victim and thereby getting a sympathy vote. I won't suggest that Mark Salter is losing his bearings since who knows how it may be construed.

Mr.Tickler

I want solidarity among women. Low self esteem from years of listening to piggish men keeps women from uniting.

They will find their confidence one day. Today just happens to not be it!

X:

"typical white person"

that's how Obama referred to his Grandma who raised him. If that isn't racist, try it this way:

"typical black person"
"typical Jew"
"typical Mexican"

Don't you see how racist that is? And the lemmings give him a free pass because somehow they think his ultra left wing politics are somehow new and transcending.

And no I wouldn't let anyone in my mixed race family have a pass for uttering racist language.

Grandpa McCain is losing his brain...hee...hee...hee...ha...ha...ha...hee...hee...heee

http://www.savagerun.com

Keep bashing women and older folks and see what it gets you Obama lovers. So many of us Hillary supports are long past jumping on your bandwagon now.

Sounds like you all have really effed up to me.

Dream ticket:

President Barack Obama - to get everyone to talk to each other

Vice-President John Edwards - for the working class

Both of them for decency in government.

Voting for a woman who shares most policies with Obama because she is a woman is a totally legitimate reason to vote for Clinton.

So i would assume you are going to support Obama in the Fall, right? I mean, they do "share most policies." And after all, it is about policy, right? It wouldn't be about genitals or mammary glands, would it? Nah, it couldn't be.

"And if you are a woman 'X' I hope you enjoy your .77¢ you make to a man's dollar!"

Really? So it is all about gender with you. What about wage inequalities among races? Or interview opportunities for those with "funny" or "black" names? What about the opportunity afforded white boys and girls in Appalachia compared to those same white boys and girls in Greenwich, CT? Inequalities and division abound, so to limit to only gender is a bit myopic and self-centered, don't ya think? What am I thinking, of course not.

So, in other words, MissTickler, you don't care who is best qualified for the job, as long as they have a vagina. You are not qualified to vote. People like you are the reason this country is going down the toilet.

"Clinton shares more policies with McCain than Obama."

B.S.

Keep it up, more are defecting from your personal crusade to end hope for all women with each passing day...Keep it coming, it's adding fuel to the fire.

Well, even if we don't like Hamas, if they don't regard our President as the Enemy, then doesn't that mean they won't target us for terrorism, and isn't that the goal?

Miss T,

Vote Obama!
Vote Obama!
Vote Obama!
Vote Obama!
Vote Obama!
Vote Obama!
Vote Obama!
Vote Obama!
Vote Obama!
Vote Obama!

We can't wait to check out the Lincoln bedroom.

"Inequalities and division abound, so to limit to only gender is a bit myopic and self-centered, don't ya think?"

Not really, you pick your battles, I'll pick mine.

I don't support sexists for any reason. Nuff said.

"I don't support sexists for any reason. Nuff said."

So suggesting that people should vote for someone solely on the basis of their gender isn't sexist? You are an idiot.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that members of Al Qaeda support McCain. After all, he'd continue Bush's policy of bringing them more recruits.

Ok you are right MissTickly. I am sorry.

"So, in other words, MissTickler, you don't care who is best qualified for the job, as long as they have a vagina. You are not qualified to vote. People like you are the reason this country is going down the toilet."

Hillary Clinton is MORE than qualified. LOL

Mr.Tickler:

Why would you say Hillary is not qualified? Is it that she is a woman? Because we all know she meets the criteria for qualifications.

What gives?

I am so insecure in my ability to argue substantively, I have resorted to stealing other people's screen names (example "X" my dear friend). I am a winner. I am woman. Worship me.

'I am so insecure in my ability to argue substantively, I have resorted to stealing other people's screen names (example "X" my dear friend). I am a winner. I am woman. Worship me.'

AND this is a substantive post??

We won't vote Obama-just keep it up! So funny to watch you scramble and squirm.

Mark Salter is not particularly clever. Mark Salter is not particularly familiar with the English language.

"Hillary Clinton is MORE than qualified. LOL"

You've repeatedly said that the only qualification you care about is having a hoo-ha, so once Clinton's out of the race, who are you going to vote for, the guy who has the cuter haircut?

Rich,

"typical white person"

that's how Obama referred to his Grandma who raised him. If that isn't racist, try it this way:

"typical black person"
"typical Jew"

Have you even bothered to read the context of the "TWP" comment? I would guess not. Granted, it was not a good thing. But if you think he is a racist (you know what a racists is, right?) because of it, you, too, must have the Columbian Cartel's number on speed dial.

tomdavie,

You are correct AND if they don't go to McCain, they will just not vote at all.

At least I would have peace of mind simply staying home.

"You've repeatedly said that the only qualification you care about is having a hoo-ha, so once Clinton's out of the race, who are you going to vote for, the guy who has the cuter haircut?"

I've said nothing of the sort. You know it, you are desperate. And guess what, you STILL won't get my vote and MANY, MANY OTHERS.

Feels so good to win a primary and lose the General Election, eh? What have you won? Nothing.

Ha hahahahahahahahahahah!

MissT,
"AND this is a substantive post??

Just dumbing it down for you "working, hard-working Americans, white Americans" and those "who had not completed college."

These are not my quotes. Hint: The only person running for prez without male genitalia.

I'm going to have to invoke rule #14. bye bye, I hope you never breed.

OHHHHHHHHHH you jumped all over his aqq .You started the deal anyway with your stupid remarks of Hamas,you are to old for this anyway if this is the best that the republicans can do i feel sorry for them

I am not a McCain fan but I respect his experience. Since I have lived long enough to know the difference between inexperience from my youth and experience from my age, I'll take experience any day. People can talk about 'change' and 'new vision' and all of the other empty platitudes but it all boils down to knowing what you are doing so you don't make big mistakes. A President who makes big mistakes because of inexperience adversely affects us all. We pay for his inexperience. I'm just not ready to 'willingly suspend disbelief' for a kid. Obama, wait till you grow up before you try for a grown ups job.

"Have you even bothered to read the context of the "TWP" comment? I would guess not. Granted, it was not a good thing. But if you think he is a racist (you know what a racists is, right?) because of it, you, too, must have the Columbian Cartel's number on speed dial."

x -

I am an educated person, but I am at a loss for what this means. I read his entire speach several times, but the context makes his overt racist remark no less disgusting. Your use of initals "TWP" is an attempt to take away its power. You want to believe in him so badly you can look past this and not see how this racist remark can be hurtful to people who happen to be white and resent being lumped into a stereotype because of the color of their skin.

Obama is where he is for one reason and one reason only. Whites willingly gave him opportunities because of his race. Show me any other society where the dominant racial group does that willingly. I personally don't believe in quotas and set asides required by 'affirmative action' but he and his wife have obviously been beneficiaries of this. Complaining about whites is ridiculous when you look at the plethora of opportunites that have been bestoyed upon blacks by whites is a little too much to stomach.

I am a Democrat, but I do know we have a serious problem with age discrimination in our great country.

Check out John Robbins' book "Healthy at 100" to see how some other societies have healthy, active and REVERED elders. One such society has a saying "We need God and we need our elders." It turns out that a common factor and probably causative agent for the healthy centurions in these cultures is the respect they receive in their society.

It takes living experience to become a fair person who can reach back into life experiences to sort out junk from treasure. Often "been there--done that" pays off in making decisions.

P.S. Rich--
Is is really true Obama call his grandma a "typical white person"? He basically called her a racist to the whole world in his "race speech"--something that upset me at the time. One usually protects the reputation of your family.

TD,
"However, the Obama supporters, whether it be within the party, and here on this blogg, are full steam ahead on wrecking any chance the party can unify.

Talk about deadbolt stupid."

Do you really think most people talk like this in public? No, they save it for the anonymous boards. And do you really think most voters read or participate in these types of blogs? Nope.

If the members of the Democratic and Republican parties, respectively, are too stupid to rally around their candidate in November (remember, there are HUGE differences between the two) and eschew all the bullsh** distractions, then we are truly a nation of idiots.

Oh come on, that was funny stuff about Lieberman checking McCain's bearings. If you can't get a laugh out of juvenile jokes about politicians, what's the point of life?

McCain seem more like a gentleman than Sen. Hillary Clinton - however John McCain is leading in his nomination unlike Sen. Clinton. I love the dynamics of John McCain & Sen. Barak Obama. Their difference is day & night, young & old - yes, I have to say it, "Black & White," Harvard Grad & Non Harvard Grad! We will have a good time with these two. Go OBAMA. Lake Hart Native American Writer.

Rich,

"I am an educated person"

Congratulations.

Look, I understand that the same set of statistics can be used to prove diametrically opposed positions, and I think that is what the TYPICAL WHITE PERSON imbroglio amounts to. Those who don't support Obama latch on and obfuscate it for their purposes. Fine. Those who support him do the same. But if you objectively look at it, take away the attribution and the political climate, i am pretty sure it would not even raise an eyebrow. He was talking about his grandmother. Do you know what it was like growing up in the 20's or 30's? Do you think there might have been a general(typical) attitude toward race? If you, like me, did not experience it firsthand, go grab an old person and pose the question to them. No one is saying EVERYONE was racist in those times, but it was a TYPICAL point of view. And often times these sentiments die hard or don't die at all. That is reality. I am glad that, for the most part, society has changed. But 2008 cannot be compared to 28,38,48,58,68....

McCain was last out of 1000 students at Navy school. Do you think he studied economics there? Constitutional Law?

He is an extremely lazy person. His beer drinking 2nd wife is perfect for him.

Any of us would be as good a candidate.

There's Obama again, needling the opponent, hoping to incite a tantrum. Obama again, distracting from the real issue (his attraction to thugs, his leftist voting record) by going ad hominem.

Typical Washington politics.

Obama the metrosexual can do whatever he wants to attack McCain's ball bearings. But he cannot attack McCain's patriotism, a man who refused to sell out his buddies in prison, who will never sell out this country.

McCain lost his bearings as a youth as well. Look at his academic record; he graduated near the bottom of his class at Annapolis and only got in because of his Father and Grandfather.

"... a man who refused to sell out his buddies in prison, who will never sell out this country."

Dude, you do know that he sang like a canary telling everything he knew to the N Vietnamese. As to his not coming back early when offered, he couldn't. He would have been drummed out of the Navy for violating the code of conduct.

Wow, I didn't realize that ABC would allow two people with the same handle. But then you scum sucking Rovublicans are more devious than normal people.

BTW guys, did you see that either Clinton or Obama is ahead of ol John in the polls. Even without anyone pointing out his negatives, he can't beat a Democrat.... so I can see why you cry babys are so upset.

What a terrifc joke Obama played on McCain and his surrogates!

"Bearings" doesn't just mean "one's sense of direction". It is a NAVAL term used in the sense of finding one's position and direction by means of a compass, and particularly used for finding where to aim weaponry from a ship or airplane, as in McCain's medal-winning accuracy at aerial bombing in Vietnam.

And McCain, and his supporters, didn't recognize this military, NAVAL metaphor? LOL!

John McCain is absolutely right. Every time Obama wants to label someone on the age factor, McCain can label him as the inexperienced candidate with a paper thin resume. All topics are on the table for discussion? I suspect that would include his judgement on Wright after 20 years as his spiritual mentor. It probably will include his "bitter" remarks about all those bitter people who cling to their guns and their religions in hard times, his Ayers relationship, his attractiveness to Hamas, his Rezko funds, his Rezko house. I hope he is not eating his morning waffles when he is asked any of the questions.

Let's see how long it is before the media switches their negativity to McCain. Right now, they are still trying to fight Hillary. She is tough and she is not a quitter.

Go for it Obama.

Keep slamming the voters over 50.

Keep working to disenfranchise Florida voters.

The senior electorate is one of the largest voting blocs in the country, and they DO elect Presidents.

They will not elect an anti-senior, anti-gun, pro-abortion, pro-gay, pro-illegal immigrant, pro-Hamas, liberal of liberal like Barack Hussein Obama.

Remember one of the most popular Presidents in American history, Ronald Reagan?

Reagan was about the same age as McCain.

President McCain.
