I am having trouble remembering a single issue recently where McCain hasn't said one thing first, then done a 360 a day or so later.

It's called panic.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a McCain supporter, said the Republican made a "huge mistake" by even discussing canceling the debate

There it is in a nutshell. I'll laying bets right now he looks lost and disoriented tonight.

Can you imagine if "Helmet Fire" McCain actually becomes POTUS?
It'll be one Drama Queen performance after another.
One big, not so happy rollercoaster ride.

Righwinger Bill Sammon said the other day when McCain demurred that we should, "... mark this one up for Obama."

"My friends, I'd have a good answer for that question, but I'm busy solving the economic crisis in my mind"

How dare that fucking prick decide to attend and ruin a good lefty circle jerk.

Apparently the pressure to put Palin in as second string got to be too scary for McChicken. I wonder if he'll say more tonight than he did when he met with Bush and the leaders to save the universe?

Otherwise, Obama's gonna get tired talking for 89 minutes and fifty seconds.

When the going gets tough, the not so tough go about 30 different ways...

As if he were not under enought scrutiny. I see what he was TRYING to do, but lets face it any Senator at any time cam leave their position with little to NO effect on what happens there.

Just goes to show you how LITTLE they actualy do.

Now, after this stunt, he has to be perfect in these debates or he is toast!

Huckabee said he still backs McCain's candidacy, but said the Arizona senator should not have put his campaign on hold to deal with the financial crisis on Wall Street. He said a president must be prepared to "deal with the unexpected."

"How dare that fucking prick decide to attend and ruin a good lefty circle jerk."

He said he wouldn't, unless a deal was struck.

Yet no deal is done, and McCain is going back on his pledge. Which begs the question: when he made that statement, was he lying, or just confused?

Danforth,

Can't it be both?

Boy, if he crumbles this fast to Obama, just imagine how fast he will crumble to a real opponent.

Clinton says Democrats resisted "any efforts by Republicans in the Congress or by me [Clinton] when I was President to put some standards and tighten up a little on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac":

McCain is the definition of a "finger in the wind" politician. He gives the impression of being someone who "takes a stand" but he conveniently only does so when he thinks there is a good number of competent Americans who would support said stand. Sometimes he is wrong. This is one of those times.

He cant call time out on Al Queda

Haha! McDRAMAQUEEN will bless us with his prissy presence! Unless of course he changes his mind again.

McDRAMAQUEEN

LOL

He was gonna go before he wasn't and now he is. What's the problem?

Ah, finally. A Second Coming size headline, lol.

My personal suspicion is that McAint is having some health issues (TIAs perhaps) and may not be in full command of his faculties.

Watch for moments of diorientation.

I hope I'm wrong and that he is completely healthy and that this whole ridiculous episode is just another in a string of bad decisions which have defined his campaign of late.

Who among us believes that McAint's campaign would be forthright about admitting that the elder McCain
might be less than physically and mentally fit for the office of POTUS should he start having mini strokes?

The likleyhood of Sarah the Silent ascending to the Presidency (and possibly soon) becomes more probable as this campaign progresses. From this voter's standpoint this possibility terrifies.

was there ever any doubt?

He tried something without thinking it through.

He wanted to paint himself as being the saviour on th white horse.

well sorry but the issue is too complicated.

the dems wouldnt let him win in his little showboat performance.

it was just a dumb move

and to top it off even accepting his faulty logic of being a saviour in a time of need, he could have left his VP candidate in charge of the campaign, well unless he doesnt trust her.

flip.

flop.

too funny.

He'd better go. Obama refused to debate him the 10 times McCain asked for, in a Town Hall setting. And any opportunity we have to see The Great Obama out and about, mingling among the masses, is priceless.

It's kinda like the Wimbledon final--it's one of the few chances a year the great unwashed masses have to see their Royal Family, and it thereby confers the thing with a greater importance than a mere Federer-Nadal rematch would enjoy otherwise.

Three chances to see Obama, before he ascends again up to heaven. Hopefully I stay awake.

He threw a Hail Mary but this time no one caught it.

What's the problem?

#18 | Posted by briwo

He is in full panic mode, screaming towards defeat at mach 3.

"McCain blinks".

His left eye, especially. Watch it tonight.

He is so not in shape, intellectually or physically.

That may be sad, but it's true.

A vote for McCain is a Vote for Palin.

(plus those evil string-pullers)

he could have left his VP candidate in charge of the campaign, well unless he doesnt trust her.

She could have shot it, field dressed it, and set up a crystal meth stand in the middle of it.

McCain is so disaster prone these days he should wear a parachute. I almost feel sorry for him.

For whatever reason he did what he did, I think it made Obama look like an idiot. America needs to see us debate on the issues? America doesn't need more debate, we need actions and Mccain demonstrated that.

At the very least this shows unpredictability/unstability in pressure situations.

This might work when you are in your f-14 with a name like maverick but it displays immaturity when running for POTUS.

I wish they whould but a limit on the debates. If a candidates says "uh" more than 5 times in a sentence then a buzzer goes off and he is through.

After Obama's 7th or 8th "UH" I sort of lose track of the question and from his answers he does also.

America doesn't need more debate, we need actions and Mccain demonstrated that. -Ewendels

He acted? How? He got on a plane? He went to the White House and didn't say anything? He got up this morning and decided he had better go to the debate?

"America needs to see us debate on the issues? America doesn't need more debate, we need actions and Mccain demonstrated that."

And then he didn't. What part is confusing you?

America DOES need debate. 'Cause it sounds like a lot of you are voting solely based on party, POW, or boobs. That's about it. Sorry, but the rest of us would like to know what our next president plans to do to extricate us from our present disaster (aka Dubya, whom you've no doubt voted for twice, which should disqualify you from ever voting for even dog-catcher ever again).

What did he do? McCain did nothing as usual, and McCain has nothing to do with input as to solving anything. McCain flying to Washington to help solve this crisis was as effective as if YOU'D gone to Washington to solve this crisis. McCain has as much input as you do.

It is Chris Dodd and Barney Frank who make the banking laws---McCain wasn't invited.

What did you think McCain was going to do in Washington? Order everybody to listen to him?

Flying in for a photo op is the actions we need?

He presented no plans, did not even have a committment on any of the plans offered. He is an empty suit. Dazed and confused, looking for the eject handle.

At least his crash and burn this time won't cost the US a multi million dollar airplane.

Oh wonderful we can all sit around and count the Obama "uhs".

My bet: average of 6 "uhs" per sentence.

" My friends, I did not enter this campaign to be in debates. I am in this campaign because I love this country and want to make it better. I want to change the way Washington works. So I suspended my campaign and went to to Washington. It didn't work. So I am here tonight, my friends, to change Washington and make it work"

Bill Maher was saying on his show last week that McCain was actually communicating in Morse Code with his blinks. I got a good chuckle out of it. :)

What a (2) faced fuck this idiot is. There is no deal. He needs to keep his ass in Washington and single handedly save the United States of America from financial destruction.

That's it? That's your "retort"? That Obama says "um"?

Wow, great reason to vote McCain.

I'll bet you thought "Sarah" was also brilliant on Couric last night, right? Nah, she wasn't reading cards for answers, nah...and then fucking it all up anyway. But she has great tits.

#45 | Posted by FreddyK at 2008-09-26 12:24 PM

Ok!

You count the uhs used by Obama and we will count the times that McCain avoids actually answering a question by using a canned talking point.

An Associated Press-Knowledge Networks poll out Friday just before McCain's announcement showed the public overwhelmingly wanted the candidates to debate, 60 percent to 22 percent, with the rest undecided.

Don't tell anyone, but the plan is for McCain to fly over Oxford in the "Memphis Belle," yell "Geronimo!" as he leaps from 7,000 feet, let 'er rip and float down onto the front lawn of the ATO house, belly-crawl to the venue, do his shticky shtick, link up with the exiting squad at one of three tunnels ("Tom," "Dick," or "Harry") and be back in Washington in time to proclaim, "Mission accomplished!"

McCain flip-flopping on the debate will put him at a great psychological disadvantage. I'm guessing a meltdown is in the offing tonight.

He should have stuck to his guns, but didn't have the spine.

Bets on how many "my friends" and "when I was a POW" McChicken is gonna drop tonight. I'm betting more than the combined number of houses and cars he owns.

And that's a lot.

But he's gonna pay another $5500 for a make-over, so I suppose it'll be worth it.

McCain completely flip-floped in the space of 36 hours. If he'd been President during the manufactured Georgia crisis, he probably would have started bombing, then stopped, then started again, leaving our allies completely clueless as to where we stand.

And yes we sure as hell do need these debates. This foreign policy debate directly ties into the economy. I sincerely hope that Obama ties it to Iraq. It sure would be nice right now to have back that 1 trillion dollars that we pissed away in Iraq, that we didn't need to spend. $1 Trillion that Bush wasted on a lie.

I want to hear McCain tell America that in the middle of an economic meltdown that we need to keep spending $10 billion a month for another 10 years while Iraq is running an $ 80 Billion surplus.

He does say "um" a lot. however that is without a teleprompter and he vehemtly stays away from those cliches like "mission accomplished" or "you are with us or you are with Al queda".

He does not buy into the soundbites.

With his educational background he does have a tendency to sound like a professor since his answers are well thought out and delivered without bravado, excessive patriotism or bullshit.

His answers will put you to sleep but by the same token, his answers make sense, but i admit they are not exciting.

His add is showing. Not a multi-tasker, this one.

"Mission accomplished!"

2 words Obama has never uttered in his life.

To the Moron Who Dare Not Speak His Own Name:

Obama's refusal to attend a 'Town-Hall' meetings so McCain can field a bunch of soft-ball pre-frabricated and known Q and A's with a bunch of people who's only criteria in voting for Bush was that they'd rather have a beer with him, is laughable.

Heck, Obama will just wait for the real thing. This way, when he and Biden hand McCain AND Palin's Asses to them on a platter, they will be honoring a time tested Political Tradition followed for a thousand years - It's called A DEBATE. It's not just for Smart People, Y'know. You can watch too.

Republicans are a bunch of Whining Ass Clown travelling in an Ass-Clown's Little Car right down a ravine named "Irrevelance." Their dreams of a fascist 4th Reich Wing running Amerika has died. But not before providing hours of unlimitted humiliation for themselves. McCain? Palin? SARAH PALIN? BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA

Oh...Wait...what's that???? I Think Putin's Ugly-Reared-Head just floated over my house. Quick Todddddy, get me that Moose Blastin' Gun of yers.

But he's gonna pay another $5500 for a make-over, so I suppose it'll be worth it.

And also he will wear (3) sets of "depends" so he makes sure he makes it thru the debate without having to leave early for pooping his pants.

...Irrevelance = Irrelevance...

SRR!

his answers make sense:

Jim Lehrer: Mr. Obama: you're in a room with 3 crackers. One has holes, one taste good with cheez-whiz and one is shaped like a moose. Which Cracker is the whitest?"

Obama: I'm not stooping down to the level of a racist. Next question...

I believe you're on to an important topic here: John McCain's health.

There definitely seems to be something out of wack. I know the rightbots yammer about Obama's "uh's" when he isn't using a prompter, but McCain has become practically incoherent when his eyes stray from the words in front of him.

And what's with the blinking?

TIA sounds like a possibility.

Is NESS around anywhere? He might be able to shed some light on this.

Very scary, when you consider that if McCain is elected that brings the Muckluck Messiah into office.

Obama will thrash McCain tonight. It won't really be fair. It'll be like a smart alack younger brother arguing with grandpa at Thanksgiving. You'll want to tell Obama "Leave Grandpa alone."

Debate drinking game. Take a shot everytime McCain repeats himself.

"My Friends...I can save the United States of America for financial disaster and attend a Presidential debate at the same time.

Not me. I think ANYONE in Congress who rubberstamps this $700 billion bailout boondoggle for Bush and his Wall Street crooks without even bothering to give it time for a thorough debate and safeguards being added into the bill is a traitor to this nation. The Dems and Bush -- an unholy alliance if there ever was one -- all seem to want to give it their stamp of approval without barely discussing it!

You and your IQ challenged buddies have not made one single intelligent argument on this thread. You may want to consider flying to Washington and helping out with the bailout.

The inner GOP circles (read: corporate boardrooms) made a quick market survey and ound McBush had more to lose by cutting and running than standing and taking his sure pasting from one who can debate circles around him. It was a delightful no-win situation for the forces of evil: lose if you wimp out, lose if you appear side by side with President-to-be O'Bama. herm

So I was the POW monkey with nothing. But thanks to monkeying around on my crippled wife when I was no longer a POW, I've got lots of bananas now. And houses to keep them in. My friends, just let this old monkey be top banana and I'll stick it to you and you'll have nothing. I'd like to stay longer, but I'm suspending my campaign to go help my friend Teddy beat the Spaniards at San Juan Hill again. We need Spain to be a good member of South America."

Doc your correct. He does a 360 which means he does what he said the first time.

John McCain...Once again putting.. "Country First"...by attending tonights debate after saying less than 24 hours ago that he would not attend and that he suspend his campaign unless a financial bailout deal was brokered and in place before tonight.

They don't need to debate. According to McCain, he won it. So you all can put down your shot glasses.

"So you all can put down your shot glasses."

When they pry my cold dead fingers off of it.

STOP THE PRESSES !!!!! MCCAIN'S ALREADY WON THE DEBATES !!!!!

So says this ad:

"McCain Wins Debate"

You gotta love it.
Absolutley in-sync with the rest of his campaign.
Just make shit up, toss it out, and assume the American people are so fuckin' dumb they'll buy it hook, line, and sinker.
And speaking of sinkers, where's McCain?

Fuck El Cid,

Like McCain doesn't say "uh" or "um". Are you going to keep posting that crap all day?

Shit, Palin can't speak in complete sentences.

And then there's his chief of staff still on the payroll, pimping for Freddie and fannie....

GSE paid his cheif of staff about 1 million over several years.

GSE paid DEMS, Raines, Gorlick... about 60 million over several years.

Northguy who is 'looting the treasury'?

Fannie has been a piggybank for Democrats for years. What you dont have here is a record of what Fannie paid to lobbyists to entertain and grease Democrats. You also dont have a record of the number of deals and trades Fannie did as payback to Democrat political contributors. Of course these were trades or deals that lost money for Fannie but made money for the contributor.
You had Fast Frankie Raines,Clinton head book cooker and Obama advisor,cooking the books and hiding trades to make multi millions in bonuses. You had Jamie Gorelick as Co Ceo for a period of time. This is the woman who built the wall between CIA and FBI so knowledge of China political contributions would remain secret.
You have Barney Frank who fought every attempt by Republicans to put new strict regulations on Fannie several years ago after Raines had looted it. BArney also tried to stop every investigation of Fannie. Barney is now one of the people most involved in solving a problem he created. If Republicans had defeated BArney,Fannie might not have gone BK. It must be remembered Fannie went at least two years under Raines and after without releasing any financials. Its a miracle they stayed as a listed stock.
This is bigger than Enron. Raines is not in jail. This is bigger than Watergate.
Barney Frank and the Media stopped Republicans from reigning in Fannie so people who could not buy homes they couldnt afford.
Notice many of the people on the list,such as Dodd and Conrad were also getting cheap mortgages from the Tan Man at Countrywide. Fannie bought all of Countrywide fraudulent paper and bad paper while these clowns looked the other way. Why arent they in jail?

"What you dont have here is a record of what Fannie paid to lobbyists to entertain and grease Democrats."

Rick Davis's firm was a paid lobbyist for Freddie Mac so I guess that is who you are referring to.

Do you mean the one who was asked about geography? I can't watch that enough.

"Getting ready for his close-up with Mr. DeMille?"

A "Sunset Boulevard" reference? Wow! Give this guy a FF!

Somehow, another seems appropriate for John "Blinky" McCain:

"I'm big. It's the pictures that got small."

"Do you mean the one who was asked about geography"

yes that one!!!

""And speaking of sinkers, where's McCain?"

Trying to solve the case of the missing strawberries?

Aha! So Obama leads the way to the debate and a sheepish Yawn McLame is forced to follow in his wake.

This is so gonna be good.

Spud luffs these debates.

Luffs! Luffs!! Luffs!!!

Re: The "uh" thing.

When Obama sez "Uh" it means he's thinking about giving the best response possible.

McCain doesn't have to cos the old fuck never even answers the questions he's asked.

Look fer it tonight.

McCain is asked a specific question and instead of answering directly he just goes off into one of his stump speech staples that aint particualrily connected.

Why is John McCain refusing to release his medical records??? He's 72, has had three bouts with cancer and has a moron for a running mate. American voters have a right to know as much as they want about the health of anyone running for president but John McCain is playing games. The possibility of Sarah Palin actually becoming President is too frightening for Americans to have to just hope for the best. It is time for McCain to release his records and let Americans know the truth if he is or is not in good enough health to be president.

"Why is John McCain refusing to release his medical records???"

Corollary: "Why won't Sarah Palin release her tax returns?"

Ditto moron. What is your IQ, btw Let's hear it. Got an Suma or a magma to back up your arrogant statements about others?

Let's hear about it tough guy?

"And speaking of sinkers, where's McCain?"

Patrolling Alaskan airspace to protect the Half-Baked Alaskan from Putin rearing his head?

Now if McCain knocks it out of the park, it'll be a perfect scripted story.

But I'd say this working out well for McCain are some long odds...
