It was particularly offensive, the guy was a young African-American, and he forgot his name.
And McCain's reference to Obama as "that one" - McCain is OVER. He's SOOOOO angry and hateful and - I might add, I now this racist. And this is the first time I've even thought to bring in the race card.
"I now think" racist. Hey young black whatever your name is questionner - you probably never heard of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. You can be sure THAT guy isn't voting for McCain.
and "That one"?? seriously??
I thought the exact same thing. I'd forgotten about him voting against, more than once, for MLK day. Without a doubt, I think McCain is definitely racist.
Between "that one" and forgetting the African-American's name and saying how he's probably never heard of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Wow.
McCain is a dishonerable, angry, racist prick.
I watched the audience respond to the Obamas and the McCains, who left quickly. But everyone seemed to want to shake Barak's and Michelle's hand, get pictures with them, laughed with them. These people love the Obamas. Luke warm to the McCain's.
I don't think it's that. Frankly, I don't believe anyone who says they're "independent". That's bullshit. Those panels are mostly Republicans claiming to be independents so they can get on the panels and then say "I'm independent but gee whiz, after that debate well, I'm gonna vote Mccain" - to try to get people to think McCain won. They are republican operatives. The reason there aren't democrats on the there is democrats generally are honerable people (primes example Obama - honerable McCain - no honor whatsoever) and won't lie about their affiliations.
I love Conway, but I think Rickles would be great too.
I'm waiting for the day whe she wears a $10,000 gold-spun urban sombrero with her ponchos.
Totally disagree. He's NOT a good guy inside. His tone, no eye-contact, not shaking hands, his hateful, negative stump speeches, his "approval" on all the lying ads against Obama, the constant lying in general...no, he's not a good guy inside. That's the misnomer about McCain. He's a prick. He left his disabled wife while still married to her for chirssakes! http://www.americablog.com/2008/07/mccain-was-still-married-to-his-wife.html
His "that one" last night at the debate? No, actually, he's not a good guy.
I mean, come on, he married plastic Cindy, or at least got the marriage license, when he was still married to his first wife. And he called Cindy a c*nt. Nice guy.
He's run and incredibly dishonerable, lying, smearing, hate-filled campaign.
And I don't feel sorry for him. Fuck him. He may have said Obama's a decent man but he did NOT say "NO, HE'S NOT AN ARAB." That's what he should have said but he didn't. There's a BIG difference. He should also have said there's nothing wrong with being Arab.
I am so impressed and proud of how Barak Obama has handled himself. Very honerable, presidential, classy. Man, would I be proud to have "that one" as my president.
I have to correct myself. I saw the snippet of the stupid, dumb-shit woman who called Obama an Arab and at the end of McCain saying he's decent, he said "he's not." So I do give him that.
What is it that you like about McCain? If, as the Republican talking points say, Obama has done "nothing" and has no "executive experience", then that would apply to McCain, Obama and Biden. What about McCain's message do you like? What is his message?
Do you support McCain? Are you proud of how he's run his campaign? How is Palin even remotely qualified to be President? Do you REALLY think she's smart? Do you REALLY think she's qualified to be president - which is not out of the realm of possibility?
That's all I want to know. From Shooter or any other 'troll'. Anyone? And don't turn your answer around to "Obama's not this or that." Just stick to the question.
I honestly want to know.
He can't. Even if he forces himself to smile it's a creepy sneer. He is SO angry that he's losing. He HATES Obama, he can't hide it.
He's got nothing. If he attacks Obama on Ayers (bullshit) or whatever, Obama will have a solid, confident comeback - and hello Keating 5.
If McCain opens the door on Reverend Wright (an honored war veteran BTW) Obama can bring up the crazies who support McCain.
McCain has nothing. There are NO undecided Democrats. Independents will vote for Obama.
All Mccain has are the mouth breathing racist haters and the tiny rich country clubbers.
Not enough.
I can't WAIT until McCain loses, I can't WAIT until there's an overwhelming majority in congress, and I can't WAIT until Obama gets to appoint 2 maybe 3, and if we're lucky 4 Supreme Court Justices - one of which could very well be Hillary Clinton.
And I hope Bush, Cheney and that war crimes, lawbreaking worst administration in HISTORY gets FUCKED.
First, assuming you support McCain, what do you like about McCain? What, exactly are his policies? How can he logically make any change from the previous administration when he voted with it 90% of time? Again, what are his policies and what are his ideas for change?
Are you proud of the way he's run his campaign? Is his and Palin's behavior what you would teach your kids? Do you REALLY, and be honest, REALLY think Palin is qualified to step in to run the country if it comes to that? Do you REALLY think Palin is smart? Really?
Don't talk about Obama at all in the answer. And we can't use the "Palin has more executive experience and is more qualified than Obama" because that would rule out McCain as well.
I really want to know.
He's had everything handed to him - his entry into the naval academy, his uber wealthy wife, however many houses, cars a private jet to fly in whenever he wants....PLEASE
