I suspect a lot of voters feel the same way about campaign coverage by now... the point is, Obama (Mr. HOPE & CHANGE) is a virtual dead letter... and I mean that sincerely, whether he talks about taxes, education, foreign affairs, health care, etc.... The man is an absolute cipher with NO message... but a lot of prosaic drivel meant to further anesthetize the under-educated/ill-educated DNC voter base.
I don't know how closely you attend to what is said here on FR, but I have always maintained that in an open and unmanipulated media forum, McCain will (and did) kick the s7%t out of “Mr. Hope & Change”
Hah! That was great!
I will take my chances that McCain will live longer than Obama, for Obama is really hated by the people.
I hope you are correct. Obama would be a huge mistake, that would take years to undo.
Life begins at conception!
I thought McCain did much better than I expected. Obama really bad. Shifty, fake looking and sounding.
If McCain is as principled as he said he is... we'll be fine.
Obviously it didn’t help Barry O.
I had to stop listening to Obomination. His lips were moving but he wasn’t saying anything.
McCain was GREAT!
Even with the unconditional assistance of the MSM it is a difficult task to run for the presidency while keeping your most basic thoughts, desires and beliefs a complete secret from the American people. The Obamessiah has to consider the political ramifications of each answer he gives to every question, knowing full well that he cannot tell the truth without revealing his radical viewpoint. Along with the fact that he is just plain ignorant, that is perhaps the principal reason he does so poorly during unscripted performances. The Obamessiah has a tough road ahead, as do all leftists running for the White House. Until the left is able to put the majority of Americans on the dole, no amount of media support of a liar, no matter how gifted, will succeed in making a president. Ross Perot put slick Willie in the White House. And Bush gave him a lot of help by selling out the American public on his tax pledge. Only fraud on a previously unknown scale can elect Obama. And I don’t think that will be possible...at least not for the next 10-20 years.
Not wanting to answer “when does life begin” is above his pay grade but having the ultimate say in when it can end isn’t??? Obama’s a fool.
Senators as a class have far too much regard for their membership in the Senate, and far too little regard for their position as representatives of their constituents. And McCain is one of the worst.
My personal contempt of Congress has focused on the Senate for a very long time, as indicated by the tagline that I never have seen the need to alter. Election to the Senate seems to inflate their egos to the point that they can no longer keep their feet on the ground. And we have two odious examples here in Tennessee.
I think we need a Constitutional amendment that makes being a Senator a 6-year disqualification for the Presidency
I agree too. I was thinking as I watched it that Obama said nothing of substance. McCain was quick and decisive and a true leader who I would entrust my country to. Whereas Obama is a dreamer who you’d at most want to have coffee with and philosophize with - he’s a dreamer. McCain is a leader. I heard yesterday someone say it was the difference between a boy and man - I could not agree more. Do you want Obama’s grandma and wife running our country, or true historical leaders with valid experience in national security, etc.? I couldn’t believe his choices of top three people of influence ... that answer just set the stage for the remaining answers to come.
He stutters and stammers as he calculates the effect his words are having and whether they are accomplishing the intended manipulation. He is so transparent.
He wants us to like and respect Michelle (we don't) and he wants to make sure we know that he loves and respects his red-blooded American WWII patriotic grandparents, even though heretofore they have been an embarrassment to him.
Sad to say, Barack Obama has no real convictions because he has not the faintest idea who he really is.
Hillary is SOOOOO wishing he’d made the idiotic ‘pay grade’ comment while she was still in the ring. Of all the idiotic things for a presidential wannabe who will have his finger on the nuclear button to say...
It was a clinker, for sure...
Very well stated!
And keep in mind that McCain clearly told the audience that even though he had a clear record of being pro-life that he anguished over his position supporting stem cell research. He then went on to say the fully supports adult stem research so the question of embryonic stem cell research becomes a mute issue.
No one can say that McCain was not absolutely clear on his positions regarding abortion and stem cell research.
Compare and contrast McCain’s clarity with Obama’s obtuseness on almost all topics.
Yup.
