View Full Version : McCain vs "anydem"

05-02-2008, 09:29 AM
Listening to him on Glen Beck today, several things occurr to me:


He is a third-string conservative, far down on the list of preferable cnadidates.
He towers over anything the dems have to offer.
It will be a joy to watch him make either Hillary of Barry look like fools in a debate.
His health care ideas are the first I have heard that make any sense in a long time.
His energy plan is very good on onehand and suprisingly short sighted onthe other. Still, a half asses plan trumps the dems assed plans.
It is a good think the 10 year delay of global warming came along - it will be increasingly harder to prove the nonsense in 8 years for the next election cycle ( two terms for McCain seems a given - the dems will be in a coma for 4 years when they blow this one - and they have already blown it!)
McCain needs to go to Anwar and see what it is we are talking about. An area the size of N Carolina and a drill site the size of O'Hare airport.

Still, after months of liberish, the first signs of a real campaign are sprouting. The dems are badly out classed by our scrub squad! :lol:

Tom,
Did you consider posting this under one of PA's fantasy threads regarding the recession?
1.yes
2. :lol:
3. Hope he can stay awake.
4.Anything that makes sense to you can't be logical.
5. Energy plan brought to you by Exxon and company.
6.McSame needs global warming his bones are old and cold. Will not last for 8 years in the cold.
7.McSame needs to go to Anwar and stay there.

Still after 7+ years of backing a loser, you have failed to learn anything.

CHANGE IS COMING







The buzzword of this election is 'CHANGE.' Candidates toss it around without

saying what they want to change to. Just that we need CHANGE!



This brings to mind the following illustration.



Years ago, there was an old tale in the Marine Corps about a major who

inspected his Marines and told the 'Gunny' that they smelled bad. The major

suggested that they change their underwear.



The 'Gunny' responded, 'Aye, aye, sir. I'll see to it immediately.'



He went into the tent and said, 'The major thinks you guys smell bad, and he

wants you to change your underwear. Smith, you change with Jones, McCarthy,

you change with Witkowskie, Brown, you change with Schultz ...'

'Change, now get on with it'



And the moral is:



A candidate may promise change in Washington ...but the stink remains!

I don't think so. I haven't stooped so low as to call Hillary or Obama supporters names of animals. You disappoint me....Simian From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia... The simians (infraorder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infraorder) Simiiformes) are the "higher primates" familiar to most people: the monkeys and the apes, including humans. Simians tend to be larger than the "lower primates" or prosimians.

… The simians are split into three groups. The New World monkeys in Platyrrhini parvorder split from the simian line about 40 million years ago (mya), leaving the Catarrhini parvorder occupying the Old World. This group split about 25 mya between the Old World monkeys and the apes. Earlier classifications split the primates into two large groups: the "Prosimii" (strepsirrhines and tarsiers) and the simians in "Anthropoidea"(an'thro-poy'de-)(Gr. anthropos, man).It doesn't surprise me that you found an excuse to be insulted rather than listen to Obama when he isn't being deliberately misinterpreted.

It's clear somebody made a monkey of himself in this thread and it wasn't me. ;)

Obama on Meet The Press

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032608/ (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032608/)

I thought he did a good job, but I’m sure some McCain-supporting simians here will keep their eyes and ears covered. ;) My intention was for the term "simian" (and its dual definition) to apply ONLY to those McCain supporters here who continually bash Obama AND THEN deliberately covered their eyes and ears to ignore the Meet the Press interview in which that candidate performed well, even though Russert didn't pull any punches.

I should have made it clearer that it didn't apply to McCain supporters, generally. That omission certainly provided PA with an opportunity for overstimulated, if not over-exaggerated outrage. Frankly, I have done/will do the same when the positions are reversed, but I don't wish any McCain supporters here to think I disrespect them solely because they have taken that position. ;)

In fact I don't blame anyone who, after watching some prominent Democrats attempt to diminish Obama for political purposes, turned away from such distasteful campaigning. I hope that I and other such individuals will fairly evaluate what life in this country might be like under both parties' eventual candidates.

I thought an earlier McCain performance on Meet the Press prior to his winning the Republican nomination was very strong. I think debates between McCain and Obama would be far more informative and position-clarifying than any McCain would have with Clinton.

I expect both parties will go over the top in a McCain vs Clinton election which will surely emphasize personalities over issues.

HE is named Hussein.

HE went on and on how his background makes him fit to be prez, so I am only reminding everyone that there is more to Barak Obama than Barak Obama.

I'm rooting for this country to return to both the ideals and the laws that made it free and safe, economically and otherwise. I'm also rooting for vision and effectiveness in our elected representatives in improving the quality of life in America for everyone who is willing to work.

At this point, one of three people is likely to emerge the winner of the election in November, despite their respective flaws. None is -- or can be expected to be -- perfect, but I am desperate for a reduction in the political devisiveness of the last 12 years, and a change to the continuously declining circumstances of the last 7; both in the U.S. and the world.

To the extent I can know anyone in cyberspace, you strike me as a perceptive individual who hardly requires input from this board to make an intelligent decision about what is in his own best interests. Certainly, the edition of Meet the Press I linked to would provide far more substance than I could on my best day.

At this point, but subject to more meaningful debate than has occurred so far, I believe Obama is better qualified -- and has better intentions -- for influencing changes to our collective circumstances to our collective benefit.

By the use of moderate in politico lingo I assumed you knew that meant "tending towards the mean/middle". If your breath escapes from such a declaration you might want to brush-up on his record. It's the stone cold truth and certainly could not be used with BO or HC.

How you're able to determine that BO "has far more upside than his rivals" is something I trust you're unable to articulate. That's what I was after and I see it's as vague to you as it is for much of his support.

So where does that leave your pre-election predilection … Clinton, Nader, or perhaps a June surprise?

You can eliminate the “usual .org’s” as potential influencers of my political opinions. My most frequent sources of political insight at present are Meet the Press, PBS (Lehrer, Moyers, Rose), Tom Hartman, Nightline, the actual debates I’ve been able to watch, and -- of course -- our own hcap.

I doubt that the mean/median interpretation of the term, "moderate politician," applies to supporters of continued resource squandering in Iraq.

You know I like you Indulto, but you can't discount the fact that McC is a mod because he feels the need to continue in Iraq. One issue doth not make the man.

Moyers? He's as biased as Keith Olbermann. I wondered how they were so chummy in that interview. Behold. JWright at the head of LBJ and Moyers just behind him.

Sure, providing that "lightly-raced contender with promise" offers me value. But this won't be the case with NoBama. All he wants to do is my raise taxes, increase my capital gains tax, etc.

Bad analogy, Indulto, most especially since all this yo-yo has done is make a lot of speeches with zero substance to them. Wherein is their any real promise in this strategy?

Obama said--I think people should be allowed to do anything they want. We haven't tried that for a while. Maybe this time it'll work. How come I can't hear you?

He also acknowledged once that people have rights -- but that doesn't mean the government shouldn't limit those rights. Coming from libs like him, an inquiring mind is led to wonder to just what extent would he have government limit people's rights? To the extent that totalitarian states do? And which rights in particular did he have in mind?

Of course, we know that he definitely didn't mean a women's "right" to abortion due to remarks he made about his daughters. He said that if they ever made a "mistake", he certainly wouldn't want them "punished with a baby".
