Steve: and now you trot out the "democrats think everyone owes them something" crap. bs. Why is everything that comes out of a republican's mouth negative? Do you not have any positive to say about McCain, other than "he doesn't eat elitist arugula!"

McCain will pick billionaire NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg for his VP because Bloomberg is to be installed by international bankers and financiers to continue big profit$$$ from privatizing US government's programs, infrastructure and jobs.

It will be Romney. It's McCain's only hope to make Americans think he'll do something about the economy. And Mitt's much smarter than McCain, graduating cum laude from law school, whereas McCain graduated 894th out of 899 from the Naval Academy.
They'll go nicely together. Both are living large and both have flip-flopped on abortion, gay marriage and immigration policy.

Obama's theme song should be Cause I got High by Afroman. They should play that tonight at the sit in @ Invesco Field.
The Left Handed Cigarettes will be passed around Invesco tonight LOL

MLBS:
McCain has made nothing put bad judgements, bad lies, with a bad mouth and a bad temper, and adultry. What McCain are you speaking of?
Obama has proven himself well with good judgement calls...so good the president is now using them to try to bail his a*s out.
Today, McCain also proved he has no respect for anyone but himself. He is an embarrassment to our Nation, how someone like him got chosen to run for president is beyond me.

No way, no how, no McCain! We don't need or want another dunce in the White House. If you want a guy to drink beer with, go to the bar.

francine...you are right. SSec should not be privatized. I want mommy/daddy (Govt) to keep my money because I'm not smart enough to manage it myself and I'm not responsible enough to save for my retirement. Give me a break. And NoBama wants to take even more of it by raising the SS tax. I would like mine privatized and you can have Mommy/Daddy keep yours.
Posted by: Steve | Aug 28, 2008 4:27:38 PM
I hope he picks Mitt Romney.
Our counter ads will be flying at him, of Mitt Romney's own criticism of McCain, and how Romney himself said Obama will beat him.

Obama is extremly dangerous. I ,for one, rue the day we sit a muslim on our Judeo-Christan throne of the United States.
The Presidency is by far the most important job on the entire planet.A war hero over a muslim,Indonesian, Quisling transplant anyday.Go McCain!! A man with honor,an Admiral for a grandfather, and a 4 star Admiral of the Fleet father.This guy has breathed red,white, and blue since the day of his birth. He will never compromise our security like Hussein Obama!!

MLBS: Did you hear about the timetable for withdrawal from Iraq? Was it George Bush's idea? NO - he said NO TIMETABLE. Was it John McCain's idea? NO - he said NO TIMETABLE. Was it Barack Obama's idea? YES. And Iraq said WE WANT A TIMETABLE.
Obama 2008
for a better America, and a better world

Steve: Not sure what Nation you are from but I always thought our Government was in place to take care of me and my Country???

Mack, MLBS & Mary-
Factcheckdotorg already debunked the made up story about Obama's birth certificate.
Tell us something good about McCain, other than being a POW, that would make anyone want to vote for him.
Posted by: cincyr | Aug 28, 2008 4:30:18 PM
As a democrat/independent, I don't agree with McCain on some issues, but agree with his nomination. McCain will serve well as a president, being a man who will put country before politics, not like Obama and his crowd.
The "toga" party reminds me of "politics gone mad". The DNC sure picked a loser in Obama.
Go McCain!!
Hillary 2012

2005 Meet the Press Interview:
TIM RUSSERT: The fact is you are different than George Bush.
SEN. McCAIN: No. No. The fact is that I have agreed with President Bush far more than I have disagreed. And on the transcendent issues, the most important issues of our day, I’ve been totally in agreement and support of President Bush.
-------------------------------
That about sums it up for me. NO McCAIN!

cturple...Govt should be controlled by the people, not the other way around.
I want anyone in office that will impose less control on us by raising our taxes, forcing us to lousy govt healthcare programs, etc. Take an economics course. Free markets is the reason that we can even have this conversation, or else we'd be living in a hole in Pakistan.

A running mate for McSame, is that WBush or Cheney? What is going to change, nothing, he does not know the number of houses he has and a VP candidate will not help him to get his memory back when his IQ is very low. McSame was born in the Panama canal, he is very much imported from that Central American country. America will send him back to the Panama canal to feed the crocodilesin the river there. God save America from McSame. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA/BIDEN08.
Posted by: BKMC | Aug 28, 2008 4:33:14 PM
so these are his choices
(not that anyone really cares)
The Ricky Schroeder Ticket
Mccain Romney
aka
the trust fund baby ticket...
they will sing the theme song from the show "Silver Spoons"
"here we ar eface to face ...a couple of silver spoons" KFed and Ricky will join them for a rap during the bridge
The Hope the Heck He Does Not Kick the Bushet ticket
Mccain Pawlenty
aka
The Crumbling Bridge to the Fututre into a River with Crumbling Levees Ticket
and they will argue over Pawlenty's hair length (all the kids are wearing the mullet now) and whether to play Pawlenty's favorite band "Poison" or a reunion tour of ABBA (Mccain doe not know they are no longer around ...but Lieberman may whisper it to him)
The Lonely Ticket
Mccain Lieberman
aka
oh no not Mayor McCheese for VP again ticket
the only people who will vote for them are 3 people in BOca, the NARAL/Committee for Liberation of Iraq Board and a couple of lobbyists from CT who already sat on the Committee for Liberation for Iraq...so that is redundant and Lieberman would go to both debates ....just to amke sure he had Mccain's back...closely...like close enough to whisper to.
and then there is
The 2 vets with a side order of National Bankruptcy ...hold the Right Wing Ticket
McCain Ridge
aka well we did pretty well in PA and held onto VA...too bad we lost the rest of the country...ticket
nuff said
he has no good choices.
