Grumpy McSame Knows All The Tricks

By American Street

So he doesn’t need to learn new ones.

McCain aid, Mark Saller: “We have all become familiar with Senator Obama’s new brand of politics. First, you demand civility from your opponent, then you attack him, distort his record and send out surrogates to question his integrity. It is called hypocrisy, and it is the oldest kind of politics there is.

He would know….

Here’s the thing for all those who would argue that “playing the age card” is no better than racism or sexism when selecting the next president: BUNK!

Every day John McCain will get a little older, a bit more weary, a toll that saps the life out of everyone who ever took the job will work on debilitating McCain.

Barack Obama ain’t getting any blacker, nor is Hillary getting more female for that matter. Indeed, once the numskulls get used to the idea, the racial and/or sexist attitudes will soften. With McCain, his age as a limiting factor on his ability to do the job will grow with each birthday.

No, it’s not fair, and hardly a “liberal” attitude. And yes, many people — including John McCain’s mother — remain vital and productive well into their 90’s. But his advanced years are indeed a legitimate consideration on picking him for the job. A far better factor to weigh, in fact, than anyone’s association with a wacky pastor, homophobic minister, or voodoo witch doctor for that matter.

However, close association with voodoo economists is quite the other thing.

Sheeeeeaaaaatt.

A pack a day of KOOL Cigarette's will bring ya down fast too!
Did you see Obama huffin' and puffin' on the bball court.
Hell his lips are purple from lack of oxygen.
He was winded when he bowled 37. Da chronic doesn't help either.
He'll be rollin' a fat one when he launches da missles.

Where did acquire his bad habits? Kansas, Indonesia, Hawaii or is it just an old family habit from Kenya?

Lots of presidents were

Lots of presidents were smokers. FDR, Eisenhower and Johnson were smokers. Eisenhower had a four-pack a day habit, but quit cold turkey. Johnson quit his three-pack a day habit after a heart attack. And cigars---well, I think a lot of presidents have been known to indulge in cigars. Only Clinton didn't inhale.

Infighting rains on McCain's party


Infighting rains on McCain's party
By Brian C. Mooney
Globe Staff / May 9, 2008

Senator John McCain is sailing toward his coronation as the Republican presidential nominee while the Democratic candidates battle fiercely. But Republicans also are engaged in some tough infighting that could disrupt the national convention and make it more difficult for him to unite the party in the fall.

Across the country, at state and county GOP conventions, diehard supporters of maverick Ron Paul are staging uprisings in an effort to secure a role for Paul at the national convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul.

And in the four primaries since clinching the nomination in early March, McCain has yet to reach 80 percent of the vote, as Paul and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee continue to siphon away votes, even though Huckabee has withdrawn from the race.

The lingering anti-McCain sentiment among some voters and the continuing Paul insurgency suggest that McCain has not fully quelled hostility from some elements in his party.

Paul remains the lone holdout who is still actively campaigning. He has indicated he is unlikely to endorse McCain, and his zealous supporters have turned out in large numbers to battle for delegates at recent GOP gatherings in Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, and Oklahoma.

The Paul supporters do not see themselves as fighting for a hopeless cause, but as members of a new movement founded on libertarian principles. Paul's newest book, "The Revolution: A Manifesto," has soared quickly to number one on the New York Times bestseller list.

Times poll shows Clinton and Obama beating McCain

Times poll shows Clinton and Obama beating McCain

Although Democrats are still tangled in a fractious presidential primary, both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama would probably beat presumptive GOP nominee John McCain in the popular vote if the election were held now, according to a Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll released today.

McCain remains competitive, but the poll identified one important vulnerability: Voters ranked him lowest among the three candidates on who could best handle the nation's economic problems, by far the most pressing concern for the public irrespective of party, gender or income.

I liked Colbert's take on it

The subjrct of McCain's age came up and Colbert said McCain ignores it by continuing to age. Most politicians would give in to the pressure and sto aging.

LOL

Don't you know the plan?

With Jeb Bush as McCain's running mate, McCain's age is the best chance the Bush regime has to maintain a fascist stranglehold on our nation.

Chilco: Borderline racist remarks..
fu bush: Ageism?

Shut up hatey

Unless you die young,

Unless you die young, everyone ages. The old have a number of physical and mental limitations that younger people do not have, things that we have seen in our parents and grandparents. They include mental confusion, forgetting important details and being more likely to have a heart attack or just plain drop dead.
Being concerned about having an elderly man run the country is not ageism. Neither is not allowing people of a certain age to fly planes or drive school buses. It's based on reality and on the welfare of society as a whole. Not hiring a fifty-year old to do a job they are better qualified to do because of his or her age is ageism. There is a vast difference between a person in his fifties than one in his seventies.

Hey, hatey...who made you hall monitor? Especially since you have such poor judgment as to call the blatantly racist comments by chilco "borderline"!

Got any new sock-puppets?

Ageism?

More like grumpy old "GET OFF MY LAWN" syndrome. The guy can be absolutely charming, then turn on a dime -- losing way more than his bearings.

The heck with his finger on the trigger. Consider working for an asshole like him. Then think about the idea that we're asking the entire Federal Bureaucracy to work for him.

After this guy is done, EVERYBODY will hate their job and just go through the motions. Do we really want our government to turn even more ineffective?

Ineffective gpvernment

has been a mantra of the Repubs for a long time. Every time they get a chance to run things, they go out of there way to prove it can't be done. It only proves that they can't be trusted to do it.

Why is our government trying to prevent meat inspection?

Obama/Clinton 08

I heard about that

No I think that is more on the lines of protecting their investors at our expense. This is what they do when mere incompetence is not enough. I was thinking more on the lines of Katrina

To all Obama supporters

Allowed: Attacking McCain's policies.
Not Allowed: Personal attacks against the man.

McSame/McBush/McLame

MY FRIENDS : Does it seem like John McCain is like a Nockem- Sockem Robot? You know, those old 70's games where you control two robots fighting in a ring? MY FRIENDS, His arms look like robot arms everytime he goes to shake hands. Anyway MY FRIENDS, McSame/McBush is a war hero, we all know that! What we don't know MY FRIENDS is that he is also an arrogant, stuck-up, self-centered, hyper, pompous, self-rightous, cocky, rude flip-flopper. MY FRIENDS, If the republicans had the power to slam John Kerry as a flip flopper, then MY FRIENDS, I can make a YouTube video in about 23 minutes proving how many times John McCain has flip flopped, just so he would secure the right wing conservative vote. Politics as usual MY FRIENDS! It's politics as usual!

Clinton is worse

If you think McCain has an anger issue, try Hillary. She was mean and abusive to all the White house staff and fired people for no reason....including the travel office. She threw things at them and called them demeaning names. I bet they cant wait to have her back.....
