Comments on: McCain Mocks "Audacity Of Hopelessness"

Republican Says Obama's Policies Could Have Engulfed Entire Middle East In War

Miles1967, do a little research on Ted Sampley. The man you are are quoting is a hate-mongering veteran Swift-boater. His many sites (including the one you reference) are dedicated to that purpose, though one must wonder who he is backing these days, since he seems to be an equal-opportunity nutjob, doing whack jobs on John Kerry, G.W. Bush, John McCain, Jack Murtha & Colin Powell. Wait... some research seems to show he is backing ultra right winger Duncan Hunter. Not sure who he is for now that Hunter is out.

I cannot stand the old misogynistic coot McCain, but if you have to cite facts, use good sources, please. Here is a source for you:

Hey, terrorislamv....would you care to explain Johhny McSame''s "Keating 5" situation to the lay-person visiting this board? the "Maverick" has some ''splainin'' to do, don''t you think? Of course, from a conservative''s perspective...he didn''t do anything wrong. Anything for a buck, eh? :-)

Concervatives are great. PRIVATIZED PROFIT!!! SOCIALIZED DEBT!!! Bail us out when we screw up, but F*** You when we''re doing great!!!

"i guess that explains him chosing rev wrong as his mentor and pastor for 20 years...not to mention all his other questionable friends,,, william ayers, new black panthers, nation of terrorislam,,, etc etc etc,,,"

And this is as opposed to the stellar folks that McCain has chosen, such as John Hagee, Rod Parsley, Charles Keating, Craig Shirley, John Ogden, Rupert Murdoch, Howard Jonas, Hector Alcalde, Vicki Iseman, etc. Unlike McCain, there is no evidence of Obama ever taking actions that directly benefitted Rezko, or any of his other wealthy campaign contributors. www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1725768,00.html

This is all that McCain can do... mock. He doesn''t have any real policy decisions of his own to make. When he actually starts talking about something that isn''t part of the Republican platform that Bush has laid down, maybe it''ll be worth listening to him... until then. He''s not worth the waste of time to listen to.

I am very disappointed in the words and actions of Senator McCain. He should know better. A man his age and with his experience in world matters, military background and his supposed love of country!
Where is the love now? Senator McCain, I am ashamed of you. I will not vote for you and if I could move to Arizona right now, I would, so I could work on having you removed from the senate.

[puppychuck]

I''m absolutely ashamed to say that I once bought into the whole John McCain myth. I have since recoiled in horror at the magnitude of his willingness to sell out so COMPLETELY in order to fulfill his ambition of ascending to the presidency. At one time, I defended the man from friends who claimed he was nothing more than an ambitious hack. I SWORE he was different....he was a "STATESMAN"...not a politician. I''m laughing now as I type this message.....he''s nothing more than a product of those he once railed against. He''s OWNED now.

McCain might as well just throw in the towel, he makes more and more absurd statements every day in his desparate attempt to make headlines. He doesn''t even make sense sometimes. No way is he presidential and I won''t vote for him as a Senator again either.

[incog-nito]

terrorislamv: China is not Japan. It appears that critical thinking and reasoning is not your strong suit.

[firststate]

Mcbush has audacious hopes that nobody will notice:

that he''s confused about admitting lack of understanding about economics then lying to deny it;

that he''s confused about Shia, Sunni, Iran and al Qaeda;

that he''s confused about a nonexistent Pakistan-Iraq border;

that he''s forgotten there''s no Czechoslovakia;

that he''s forgotten the definition, scope and history of the surge;

that he''s confused about appeasement and talking to Iran;

that he''s confused that obama''s 16 month, conditions-based timeline wasn''t his idea;

that he''s confused about needing a surge if the blunder of an unnecessary war had been avoided;

that he''s forgotten Phil Gramm his economic policy guy helped create the Enron loophole & higher fuel prices, deregulation & the mortgage crisis, lobbied for UBS (tax evasion advisers and sub-prime lenders), and the psychological recession & a nation of whiners;


that he''s confused himself with Arizona senator Goldwater who also looked for more wars to love & hate;

that he''s confused about getting victory in Vietnam through Iraq;

that he''s forgotten John the maverick and become a bush clone.

[incog-nito]

terrorislamv: OK. It appears that you remain unconvinced. I would only suggest that you do some research on it. True, the U.S. is China''s main trading partner. But while the U.S. middle class along with its earning power is shrinking, China''s is growing rapidly. They will eventually have their own huge consumer base and be less dependent on foreign trade.

[zorlacskates]

as with single guys out on the town...desperation, mccain, is not a very attractive trait, and is pretty much a guaranteed evening with the five sisters.

come up with a plan other than "criticize everything obama does" or you''re headed for a serious asss-kicking in november.

[nobush3rd]

There''s this part of me that is SO PROUD of how the Obama campaign is staying above the nastiness exhibited by McCain and his surrogates.

The other part of me wants him to ***-slap the old coot.

But, I know he won''t. Obama promised to run a campaign without personal attacks or negativity and he has; McCain promised to do that, too.... and he hasn''t. But maybe McCain just FORGOT what he promised.

Bush said (look it up at whitehouse.gov):

"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda."

What is John McCain''''s vision? How or where does he propose to lead the free world?
..... When will John McCain%u2019s begin to formulate his plan? On day one?

McCain doesn''t have a coherent view on anything. That''s why he hasn''t said anything. The only thing he knows he wants to do is to lead us into more wars so that he can keep his Republican buddies in the business of waging unnecessary wars without the benefits of diplomatic discussions and actually talking about how to resolve issues without guns and bombs. If he really thought that we could be diplomatic, he would understand why the surge hasn''t worked. The surge has not worked because there has been absolutely NO political reconciliation, which was the purpose of ordering the surge to reduce violence to facilitate political fence mending... which has NOT happened and will not happen unless the administration gets serious about pushing this issue.

[incog-nito]

terrorislamv: Just look around, then look at the numbers. Jobs are continuing to move abroad unabated, as long as there are workers out there getting paid a few dollars a day working under sweatshop conditions. China''s growth is around 10% year after year. And the U.S.''s? This is a mathematical certainty that China will take over in a few decades. Sure the U.S. can remain #1, but only if the job loss is stopped, then reversed. Is this going to happen any time soon? Doubt it.

[nobush3rd]

Apparently, McCain now can tell the future. Hmmm. Perhaps he could have looked forward and seen that the whole reason for going to war in Iraq was fabricated?

NO? Well, why the hell not?

"McCain laid out a near-apocalyptic chain of events he said could have resulted ..."

The OPERATIVE WORD HERE is "COULD HAVE".

I COULD HAVE been RICH, if I''d just bought some MicroSoft stock in the mid-80s.

What a farce that old man is.

[flreason]

McCain has become a petty, peevish, naysayer whose chief campaign tactic is to ridicule his opponent rather than offer a positive alternative. In his quest to appeal to the ultra-conservative wing of his party, he is alienating the moderates who have been his past supporters. Now that his campaign has been taken over by Bushies, we''re seeing the same playbook they used in 2000 and 2004...play on Americans'' fears and appeal to their prejudices. That has been the Republicans'' strategy since 1994. The result has been devastating to our economy and our rule of law. While waving the flag, they have done everything they can to undermine the Constitution. Four more years of this and we risk a class war. We are all Americans, and all love our country. Stop the trash talk.

[miles1967-2009]

And the "surge" only appears to be working because we are giving money and arms to the Sunnis, who until recently were placing IEDS and shooting at U.S. soldiers. Arming your enemies and paying them a salary never works unless you plan on doing those for 100+ years like McCain wants to. Once we stop giving the Sunnis money, they will go right back to being insurgents against us, the Shias and anyone else. Wake up people, the Iraq fair is a colossal blunder that had no military relevancy and has only fanned the flames of the already existing civil war. We should never have been involved.

McCain divorced his first wife on her proverbial sickbed (a la the GOP''s Hypocrite in Chief, the despicable Newt Gingrich). What kind of supposed war hero divorces the woman who waited for him to return from the war, and concealed her own life-threatening car crash injuries for his benefit? McCain married his current millionaire heiress beer-distributor wife, 17 years his junior, one month after dumping Carol Shepp McCain, who, as Sen. McCain so gallantly put it, "was on crutches and had gained quite a bit of weight."

I don''t know how any person could vote for this befuddled fearmongering fool and still look in the mirror every morning.
