Just shut up John.

Conservatives will do the heavy lifting, and take the slings and arrows, as usual.

McCain is going to learn real fast that he better quit this “trashing his own” nonsense or he’s going to take hell.

What a dumbazz he is. So if Obama says it’s OK to attack him on an issue, then he’ll think it’s OK. But not before. Way to win the White House, Mclame, get your opponent’s permission first before you attack him on legitimate issues!

“So I can understand — I can understand why the American people are upset about this. I can understand that Americans viewing these kinds of comments are angry and upset, just like they viewed Senator Obama’s statements about why people turn to their faith and their values.”

John, John, John. The “American people are upset about this”? What about YOU? We’d love ‘ya so much more if you’d stop speaking in the third person and start speaking in the first. (It’ll be okay - really it will.) A little patriotic, righteous indignation (rather than political correctness) would go a long way to win the hearts (and votes) of mainstream America (the ultimate decision-makers). Sure, the Dems will throw you some kind of left curve down the road, but worry about that when it happens. Right now, some “straight talk”, speaking your heart and not wimping out would be a really GOOD thing.

And who says that “Sen. Obama” doesn’t share those views???

“Again, Senator Obama is out of touch”

And again, ditto my previous comments. Out of touch - MG, what an insipid, inaccurate description of B. Hussein Obama. He’s not out of touch and don’t you be, either.

The way I look at it, McCain has shown that he can be influenced by conservative pressure.

I hope conservatives will recognize their power and help elect him, because if we end up with Obama, we’re utterly screwed. He’s said he’ll raise taxes as a matter of “fairness,” at the same time admitting that doing so will actually reduce the government’s revenue.

In other words, he’s a dedicated “social justice” fanatic who will use the federal government to completely restructure our nation.

He’ll be much worse than McCain, in just about every way.

“because if we end up with Obama, we’re utterly screwed.”

Hi, Tom, I haven’t seen you post before. I’m pretty new here, but I rant a lot :-) If you see any of MY posts, you’ll know you’re preaching to the choir here. BHO being elected (or HRC, for that matter) canNOT be an option. Have fun here, I’ve certainly learned a lot!

Now that Juan Snidley Mcloon has permission from his running mate to begin criticizing the ragin' reverend, Imam wright, you can expect him to really get into the fray...

Right after he twists the knife in the NC GOP's back one more time.

Mcloon is a death sentence for the republican party.

My friends... after several sleepless nights and a few blows to my noggin from friends and loved ones who still care about me... I’ve decided that I will indeed take a position against the...
What a dolt.

John, you’ve got to wake up dude! Why can’t you, an American hero, wake the f up and get some stones? You say you love Our Land. Do you not love us? Is not where we came from and how we got started on this grand mission of freedom and democracy exactly where we ought to be heading back to? If Obama were a man of character and a flag loving, god respecting individual then I wouldn’t blame you for your sheepish ways regarding this whole NC republican party thingy, but he AINT! Do you agree with him on so many issues? Do you? Heck, I digress. Sorry folks.

McCain: "I have said that I will not have any comment on it and that because I thought and I believe that Senator Obama does not share those views. But Sen. Obama himself says it's a legitimate political issue, so I would imagine that many other people will share that view, and it will be in the arena. But my position that Senator Obama doesn't share those views remains the same."

Too bad McPain never learned how to be succinct.

Freakin morons on DU actually having a serious conversation discussing the "learned" Rev Wright's "theories" on education, such as black children and white children learning from different sides of the brain, black children needing a teaching style of "story-telling" rather than learning from books, etc.

Assuming I could take it seriously, I would love to know a few things, such as--Is "The Bell Curve" now valid to the left? What side of the brain do you learn from if you're neither white or black? How did blacks ever manage to acquire higher education all these years, considering that teaching styles weren't designed to their "unique" needs?

And last but not least--why are they applauding racist theories from a black racist, when they have castigated similiar theories, which were at least based on much more scientific research than the Right Rev Wright has ever conducted,when they were expounded by whites?

I wish I felt it was worth the time to make an account just long enough to go over there and throw out the words "Bell Curve", but I don't. But I would love to see how they would manage to castigate the theories coming from white scientists, while upholding theories from a black "reverend".

Those hypocrites should be made to answer for their disgusting blatant shameless hypocrisy, and in the media, for the world to realise just how deep the rotten cynical hypocrisy goes. God I despise them. They ruined this country with their PC garbage, and NOW they want to start conveniently supporting these theories, because they come from a black racist who is affiliated with their candidate???!!! I hope they burn in hell, after the agony and dissension they put this country through, just to turn around and pull this stunt. God, I not only despise them, I HATE them. Freakin cynical hypocritical treachorous scum.

Oddly enough, I don't see Traitor Juan's contrite apology to the North Carolina GOP anywhere whatsoever in all of his brain dead babbling refrenced above.

Freakin' leftist putz.

What a dolt.

Sarcasm aside, if these are accurate quotes, you have to wonder about McCain's mental fitness. It comes close to gibberish.
