Is McCain really trying to win?
by dr_fran

Well, just my opinion, MOO, but when McCain broke off his personal appearance at Letterman, (and Letterman did seem a bit tiffed), McCain missed a chance to really for the time on Letterman to talk to a portion of the nation eyeball to eyeball so to speak about the "cratering" of the financial market and help people understand a bit better what all was going on. But he decided not to go on a "Comedy" show. Comedy? Here was his chance to have a "sit-down" with a portion of the US public and explain things to them. As someone said to me, does he now know how many people watch Letterman? A missed opportunity.

And the pullout from Michigan? Some on TV said it made it harder for Republicans, his fellow Republicans, in Michigan who are trying to win seats there. I have a friend in Calif who is from Michigan. I don't know how he feels, or his family in Michigan, have not taked to him. But I would very much feel it all a slap in the face if I were in Michigan, or from Michigan, whatever my potitical stance.

Oh, well. Sometimes, I wonder if McCain is really trying to win. When McCain picked Palin, I told a friend here that very day that I felt McCain had not done himself any favor by picking her. And now I hear on TV that some others are saying the same thing. I compared the whole thing to a marketing trick worthy of Madison Ave Hidden Persuaders. Sex Sells!! I heard also on TV someone who called it a good "marketing ploy" so it is not just my thinking alone. Oh, yeah, I said in another post Go Palin. Yeah, she just might shake up the world. The UN has never seen the likes of her! If McCain does win, if the two of them run again in 2012 and win, and if Palin runs for President in 2016 and wins, why we may have just begun to see and hear her.

The future will tell.

She is more qualified with her degree in journalism than you with your fictitious doctorate in theology.

You schmuck!

Who is a smuck? You want to run off with your rudeness a well spoken voice. Someone who offers to bring in a different viewpoint than you might hold. A Democracy depends on two viewpoints. Do you think the world should glorify your dictatorial fascism. ? Please think some cognitive thoughts.

Maybe you just like to talk to yourself. I like different viewpoints. PLEASE .....

Who is a shmuck? All the people who say Palin is unqualified.

She is just the veep, a post one past Veep called a "warm bucket of piss", a post that LBJ wasn't too happy with considering his experience and qualifications.

Meeting and attending to B-cast dignitaries, funerals, and anouncing the names of senators and banging on a gavel as President of the Senate.

She is perfect. Sure I'm biased, but she has tremendous upside, and her record in office speaks for itself.

Obama is a fucking clown from Chicago, unqualified, with a thin resume.

Hell for an actual lawyer his resume is thin. He refuses to release his college transcripts.

The entire world stood by and laughed at Bush's medicore grades.

Well bitch, time to cough it up.

As for the world glorifying fascism? No it speaks for itself and will ultimately prevail if Democracy continues to fail.

It's a given.

Democrats are not interested in getting along or opposing points of view.

The CUNT(Pelosi) refused to have a straight up or down vote on drilling.

The Bitch not only did not want two points of view(she only wanted one), she didn't want any.

Instead of the straight up or down vote, they jam packed a bullshit bill with pork that would not have expanded drilling at all, and then accused the Republicans of not supporting energy dependence because they didn't back her bullshit fucking bill.

Drill or not to drill. Very simple and the CUNT would not do it.

They refused to hold a vote.

And don't even get me started on who caused this fucking collapse.

This isn't just politics, it's not just petty crime, IMO they have committed crimes against humanity and the United States with ethanol and their housing policies.

They should be tried in kangaroo court, summarily convicted, frog marched into the court yard and fed to Terry the croccidile.

Shall I post the Saturday Night Live skit on the bail out bill?

Acorn has to do with fraudulant voting. Gracious , so much to be involved in. I think we should have to use voter ID but I think that the government should make it free. Volunteer organizations should be responsible to see that everyone has a chance to get an I.D. .

I think the premise that McCain does not really plan on winning is valid. Maybe Palin is a wonderful V.P. candidate but will the average American want a cute average type lady to be one heart beat away from the Presidency I do not know. The Repubs had a chance and they blew it; so now they should be happy to let others try. I wonder if Repubs are sending money to Obama so they can say we wipe our hands of the problem. If Obama is open and honest and law abiding he will be better than Bush. I heard a good one for you to think about. We cannot kill our way to victory in Iraq and Afghanistan. Another one; we should not spend millions of dollars propagandizing the Iraq people when we are having so much financial problems. That is so cool! Openess and honesty. Being good is so simple and what are you in your sick state of mind proposing? . I put A pat on your Dad's back. I am just sorry that he spent his savings being noble. I am too chincy. I just had fun with my signs and laughing at people on Saturdays and Wednesdays. I did it until Bush got in the second time and then it was pretty obvious about the crookedness. Then I was a Grandma and so I handed the cause to the young people. It is their world. Go for it. It takes 2 sides to argue but I recommend people take the high road instead of the evil way. Argue with honor.
