He was a P.O.W. you know.

His VP candidate had her picture taken with a dead moose.

There is a 50/50 chance a septuagenarian with cancer might live more than four years in office.

His new wife is rich.

He says he is a "Maverick"

He says FU a lot.

Ind8, That excuse for backing out of the debate is only slightly more plausible than "the dog ate my homework".

He was instrumental in causing the crisis and does not want to be hammered in head with it on national TV while Bush plays his fiddle atop the Washington monument. He has nothing to add to the debate.

Only a trollbot or complete idiot would buy the bull put out by the McCain campaign.... not that there's anything wrong with you being an idiot or a troll.

jus say'n

"Sparky, John McCain's trusty old Bluetick hound, evidently was a bit hungry last night and apparently consumed all the notes the Senator had been using to prepare for the debates. Since he could not back his notes up on one of those computer thingy's the Senator regrets to announce he needs more time... to think about stuff. P.O.W. P.O.W. P.O.W. P.O.W. P.O.W. P.O.W. P.O.W. P.O.W. P.O.W. P.O.W. P.O.W. P.O.W. P.O.W. P.O.W. P.O.W. P.O.W. P.O.W. P.O.W. P.O.W. P.O.W. P.O.W. P.O.W.

Welcome back!

Thought maybe some right-wing freak offed you for messing up the repuglican VP choice. You confused McCain darn you!

snowqueensquareglasses...

Where do you people dig these freaks up?

Palin will have to postpone the VP debates until after the snow stops falling.

She currently needed to help with the removal of all this... snow.

I agree with your comment.

It appears almost like he has had a mild stroke and is partially paralyzed on the left side of his face.

Warning: (Conspiracy theory ahead)

A mild stoke would go a long way to explain his backing out of the debate.

...another old man who by his own admission does not know a lot about the economy.

Brilliant!

Maybe Jim Bunning and McCain can put their heads together and come up with a method for walking and chewing gum at the same time.

Maverick!

If you're going to be a troll, at least try to be a good troll and make your posts somewhat coherent or clever... you could be the first.

Take that old man.

Its just one thing after another.

Now, not only do we have to fight the terrorists who hate us for our freedom (and freedom fries) now we have to battle commie nuclear seals with laser cannons for eyeballs!

simultaneously work on the proposed legislation to clean up the republican's deregulation mess, and battle nuclear seals armed with laser beams.

Send in the Clown (errr Moose lady).

She used to be a TV sports anchor and she IS ready to be president. This little debate thingy does not intimidate her?

Need more proof?

She sat next to a dead moose! If you travel a thousand miles north west of Anchorage you can see Russia on a clear day for god's sake!

You think she's intimidated by Obama, heck no! Let her debate him so McSame can take a nap.

Happy birthday Joan. Hope you're feeling better.

Now get back to that typewriter (I mean keyboard... what's a typewriter?) and write some more so I can criticize your carefully thought out and written articles with my spontaneous and barely legible diatribes. ; )

But it is 100% the creation of the republican revolution starting with Reagan and switching into overdrive in the early 90s when Gingrich and the other batshit crazy repuglicans began to plunder the American economy by letting corporations and wall street get away with murder (they called it "deregulation").

The entire economic theory and main pillar of the republican party has collapsed under its own weight of greed and stupidity.

There is no doubt however that Bush and his cronies have made the situation much, much worse.

...Who thinks that McCain might actually be important to his collegues in Washington right now that Obama?"

--rocket999

Yes, you are.

We elected a menatally incompetent president...

Just don't try to burry the waste near my home.

... Palin's witch-doctor swear them in?

... will Palin's Witch-doctor swear them in?

Paglia debate Palin.

Does Paglia think Palin would win???? I don't think so.

The secret service can spot an Obama pin a half mile away in a sea of people at a Bush rally, but someone yells "KILL HIM" in the middle of a repug beer hall rally, on film, recorded by 50 microphones and covered by 20 cameras when everyone in the world is waiting for someone to say it again, and they have no idea who could have shouted that??

Bull!

They don't give a rat's behind because the secret service has been replaced with a bunch of right wing Bushies and Brownies.

Obama is in real danger until he can root the right wing nuts out of the government (Gordon Liddy is a perfect example of the types the repugs seek out.)

... the biggest single moment of the entire general election was delivered by John McCain and it was no gaff or mistake, he said it and he meant it.

When he said 'The health of the mother' in air quotes, and with contempt for and condensation toward the idea that the mother's health was worthy of consideration.... Wow!

It sounded awful at the time, but I'm starting to think that a landslide is starting for the Democrats and the mountain side let go when McCain uttered those words.
