- paintgrl, on 09/29/2008, -5/+239What? How can any reasonable person make such a statement. It is a total oxymoron. Moron being the key word here.
Maybe we should call McCain the Cry Baby instead of the maverick.
Also I like to point out that McCain says I will save and Obama says We. So who is the Bi-Partisan here? - eyepatch100, on 09/29/2008, -4/+200My fellow Americans, now is not the time to blame me. Now is the time to blame the Democrats...
- ChessPieceFace, on 09/29/2008, -4/+119It's also a plainly ridiculous charge! Whether you were for this bill or not just look a the numbers: 60% of Democrats voted for it, whereas 33% of Republicans did.
McCain showed a total lack of any ability to lead! He "suspended" his campaign last week, parachuted into Washington, blew up the negotiations, had an aide (Steve Schmidt) say yesterday on Meet the Press; "What Sen. McCain was able to do was to help bring all of the parties to the table, including the House Republicans, whose votes were needed to pass this,"; then today the House Republicans cut-an-ran.
McCain is totally impotent when it comes to his own party, how the hell could anybody expect him to lead the country? - inactive, on 09/30/2008, -7/+105It's the liberals. It's the ACLU. It's Clinton. It's Monica. It's the "climate of permissiveness". It's France. It's the liberal media. It's Clinton's p*nis. It's Hillary. It's Gov. Dean. We never could have known they'd fly planes into buildings. "No actionable intelligence". They didn't tell us to do anything. O'Neill's lying. Clarke's lying. General Shinseki's lying. The Union of Concerned Scientists is lying. Our own weapons inspector David Kay's lying. Wilson's lying. John Dean's lying. Newsweek lied! CBS lied! Everyone's lying but us. We had to lie. We never lied.
Plame outed herself. Her husband outed her. The liberals outed her. No one outed her, since everyone already knew her covert identity. Rove had nothing to do with it. No comment. Lib'ral, lib'ral, lib'ral.
It's the libs that tried to pull Schiavo's feeding tube. It doesn't matter that DeLay pulled his own dad's feeding tube. "Culture of life". It's Janet Jackson's boobs; it's the Statue of Justice's boobs. Reading the news might cloud my judgement. It's the "decade our government...blinded itself to our enemies". It's the homosexuals wanting to marry. "Restore honor and dignity to the White House". A decision to go to war wasn't a decision to go to war. "No actionable intelligence". It's the pledge of allegiance. They're taking God out of America. Osama didn't tell us when, how, where, and by what means he'd attack, and he didn't leave a forwarding address. The 9/11 panel is biased against us. Saddam = Al Qaida. Saddam = Al Qaida.
Chalabi's an honorable man and I believe everything he says about WMDs. Chalabi's a crook and he passed secrets to Iran. Chalabi's the liberals' fault because they didn't shoot us when we started using his "intelligence". Chalabi? I don't know any 'Chalabi'!
It's just a few dead-enders. They'll be gone when we capture Saddam. They'll be gone when we capture Saddam's sons. They'll be gone when we hand over "sovereignty". They'll be gone when Iraq has elections. They'll be gone in 12 years. They'll never be gone.
We fight them in London so we don't have to fight them, er, uh, well, can't get fooled again!
Bolton didn't lie! He just knowingly gave inaccurate answers under oath!
Aw, so what's another ISLAMIC STATE in the mideast? It's not like Bush has made it a home for terrorists or anything!
It's all these former staffers hawking their books. Money never corrupted anyone. "I'm a uniter, not a divider!" It's the stem cells. It's the feminazis, the intellectual elitists, and the ecoterrorists.
It's the Hurricane, It's the victims. It's the poor. It's the dead. It's the disabled... the elderly. It's those that didn't evacuate. It's the buses.
It's Cthulhu. It's the martians, It's Mickey Mouse, It's The Tooth Fairy, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.,
It's ALWAYS anyone but the GOP!! - inactive, on 12/08/2008, -6/+98I'm starting to think he's as dumb as Palin. Does he even know that totally contradicted himself and acted like a complete hypocrite in his speech? Or maybe he does know, but thinks no one no one else will notice?
- inactive, on 09/29/2008, -11/+70What's the difference between a pitbull and John McCain? Lipstick.
- tcbishop12, on 09/29/2008, -4/+54McCain - who boasted and took all credit for saving the accord over the weekend -- failed to lead his own party. The vote against the measure was 228 to 205, with 133 Republicans voting against. The bill was backed by 140 Democrats and only 65 Republicans.
- greenroom628, on 09/30/2008, -1/+37please stop insulting pit bulls and lipstick.
- dinot, on 09/30/2008, -1/+34"I'd rather support a leader who is willing to make a decision and stand by it, than support someone who's going to sit idly by, watch everything happen, and then take the side that's popular or successful at the time. That's not leadership, leadership is making a decision and standing by it."
That's just a ***** stupid justification. You'd rather support someone who crosses the street without looking both ways first? Last time I checked, we've already had 8 years of a "decider" in the office, and look where it got us. - RuinousRight, on 09/30/2008, -4/+37'Anything to win' McCain.... pathetic!
- pennsykid2000, on 09/30/2008, -2/+35In the past week, McCain said the fundamentals of the economy were strong on Monday, said we were in a crisis and he would appoint a commission to study the problem on Tuesday, promised to fire the Republican head of the SEC on Wed, "suspended" his campaign so he could grandstand on Thurs, then reversed course and continued his campaign when that gambit was panned by everyone on Fri. Yesterday, he took credit for the bailout up until it was rejected, then tried to blame Obama and Dems for it. The best description I saw of this performance was a headline: "McCain's economic prescription: Blurt out random crap".
- IphtashuFitz, on 09/30/2008, -0/+32You really believe that Republicans were so hurt by Pelosi's speech that they risked destroying the US economy over it? That's pretty arrogant.
- Hamletlere, on 09/30/2008, -1/+28So, you say that the Republicans are willing to let the total US economy collapse because they were personally offended by Pelosi, and wanted to see her suffer?
And you see this as a better reason to re-elect them next term than if they were "standing on their principles" against a very unpopular plan? - youliveinfear, on 09/30/2008, -1/+27bi-partisan doesn't mean voting with Bush 90% of the time.
- Coven, on 09/30/2008, -1/+27It's like McCain handed the vid of this to Jon Stewart with a note "To Jon, Love John"
- Dipsomaniac, on 09/30/2008, -0/+24I would have said it was that a pitbull has basic honesty of purpose.
- bpoteat, on 09/30/2008, -0/+24"Im a dem..."
Apparently, you you don't realize people can see your Digg history. - thePTS, on 09/30/2008, -0/+21Even funnier the way the republicans blamed Nancy Pelosi for the bailout vote failure.
I mean.. you are more or less admitting that you let yourself be ruled by personal feelings. In a time of extreme crisis for America. How the hell can this speech alone (with biased wording), affect you away from what you "should" have voted?
Poor excuses and blaming others, that's what it's all about. - bbatsell, on 09/30/2008, -1/+22That depends entirely on how you quantify "[reaching] across the aisle", and the fact that you reduce it to something as silly as an arbitrary percentage shows that you don't really care about conveying facts, just a talking point.
- cmjM67, on 09/30/2008, -1/+21old man is old
- dinot, on 09/30/2008, -0/+20You know, I was thinking about this the other day: when was the last time anyone had a conversation with a 72-year-old man and did it make any sense?
- holesome, on 09/30/2008, -2/+21Karl Rove would be proud of him -- but McCain's mom? Probably not.
- greenroom628, on 09/30/2008, -1/+20lies, lobbyists, and hypocrisy -- the foundations of the mccain campaign.
- wafla, on 09/30/2008, -0/+19EPIC. 400 digs from my robot army of enslaved Windows computers.
/To-do: get robot army - ChloeMS, on 09/30/2008, -1/+19Your right... "he's an ox AND a moron!"
Sylvester Stallone in "Oscar" - inactive, on 09/30/2008, -1/+19@buryhuffpost
And with the pathetic defense of McCain's hypocrisy like that I can't believe you are not a GOP campaign manager. - Rusty626, on 09/30/2008, -2/+19McCain can barely put a coherent sentence together. How long before he starts foaming at the mouth?
- inactive, on 09/30/2008, -0/+16Yeah, that ***** makes NO sense considering uh... it failed BECAUSE the Republicans voted it down.
It came down to, what, 20 some votes?
Having 100+ Republicans voting no... blaming it on Dems? Hilarious. - MammasMilk, on 09/30/2008, -1/+16Way to dodge the absurdity and contradiction of McCain's statements.
- Gutterpunk, on 09/30/2008, -0/+13He didn't make a decision and "stood by it", it made a decision and then blamed others for it's failure.
When you stand by your decision you don't try to find people to blame about it.
When Vince Lombardi and Bill Parcells make decision on a play and it doesn't succeed, they don't turn around and say that it failed because the other team had better cheerleaders. - spectxim, on 09/30/2008, -1/+13That's it... Thank you Mccain for turning my republican family libral. Guess he's good for something.
- Hoodooz, on 09/30/2008, -1/+13Exactly...oh, and be sure not to notice that Wall street is way up this morning and the economy doesn't seem to be exactly imploding yet - almost 2 weeks since it became a "national emergency".
The whole bail-out is to protect the richest 0.01% who own over 40% of the bad paper at risk...screw them and screw McCain. - johnhummel, on 09/30/2008, -0/+12Wahh - Nancy Pelosi hurt my feelings, so I decided to take it out on America!
Or, they could have grown a pair and said "I'm not voting for this because I disagree with the basic premise."
Not voting for it because a girl made them cry isn't showing leadership. It's cutting and running. - booksnmore4you, on 09/30/2008, -2/+14Dear Senator McCain:
You should come see me right away. They make medicine for this. We can get you on it and hopefully it will even you out some - hopefully.
Sincerely,
Books N. Moore, M.D., FACP - richirwin, on 09/30/2008, -2/+14John McCain - Not an ounce of leadership.
- fmaxwell, on 09/30/2008, -1/+13If you belong to a party which shares your ideals and vision for America, you don't need to "reach across the aisle" in order to enact legislation that you believe is good for our country.
But Saturday Night Live, in their parody of the Presidential debate, summed up McCain's record nicely:
"My opponent knows that isn't true. I've never supported President Bush. I have undermined President Bush. Just ask any Republican. I have always been disloyal to this President --a disloyal, unreliable, untrustworthy renegade who has abandoned my party whenever it most needed me. The fact is, you simply can't count on John McCain. That's why, on November fourth, the American people will elect me their next President." - pintomp3, on 09/30/2008, -0/+11how'd she tank it? by pointing out the very ideology and policies that caused this mess?
- pintomp3, on 09/30/2008, -0/+10now is not the time for blame = this happened because of the ideology and policies we pushed for, but please don't point it out
- hiriumi, on 09/30/2008, -1/+11What matters the most is whether the candidate has been working for the people instead of the big corporate. With 7 houses he didn't even know he owned and his wife wearing $300k worth of clothes, I just don't see him on the people's side.
- jayzfans, on 09/30/2008, -2/+12stop the drama, vote obama.
- ChessPieceFace, on 09/30/2008, -0/+10So, mean old Nancy Pelosi has more power over how House Republicans vote than John "here I come to save the day" McCain?
wow - simplyskeptic, on 09/30/2008, -2/+12wow, 228 Republicans voted against this bill, and you blame Pelosi? You're ***** hilarious !
- SupaFlyTNT, on 09/30/2008, -0/+9If we have people in the government who will change a vote based on a speech they didn't like before voting why the ***** are they there?
Your belief/opinion should not change because your feelings were hurt and to make a 700 Billion dollar point? Thats just flat out retarded and I'm technically on their side as I don't like this bailout either; but for a whole other set of reasons than getting my feelings hurt :( - Homerr, on 09/30/2008, -1/+10John McCain suffers from cognitive dissonance.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance - Recluse84, on 09/30/2008, -0/+9McCain died 5 years ago and is actually a heavily sedated zombie with a VERY good makeup artist.
- EarlOfLade, on 09/30/2008, -1/+10*****!
If the 12 republicans really was offended by her speech they should resign from congress.
And if you actually had bothered to listen to the republican leadership rather than the ***** you do listen to, you would have heard them say it had nothing to do with Pelosis speech - amoirae, on 09/30/2008, -0/+8Eve was never proud of Cain...
- inactive, on 09/30/2008, -1/+9So...what are you going to do when Obama becomes President?
- DangerCollie, on 09/30/2008, -1/+9Somebody wake up grandpa.
- djdole, on 09/30/2008, -0/+8He'll blame the democratic congress.
...or those damn kids that won't stay off his lawn! -
