LAKEVILLE, Minnesota (CNN) – John McCain heard boos at a town hall meeting Friday night after the Republican presidential nominee called for the crowd to be more respectful towards rival Barack Obama.

“We would like you to remain a true American hero,” an elderly military veteran told him. “We want you to fight.”

“I will fight, but we will be respectful,” McCain said. “I admire Senator Obama and his accomplishments and I will respect him.”

When the crowd began to boo, McCain told them “No, no. I want everyone to be respectful.”

I want to be president of the United States, and I don't want Obama to be. But I have to tell you, I have to tell you, he is a decent person, and a person that you do not have to be scared as President of the United States.
— U.S. Sen. John McCain, RINO-Ariz., on now President Barack Obama, 10/11/2008

“No, no. I want everyone to be respectful.”

Typical comment from 'Poison Lite.'

Keep being respectful to the African-African as he and the cabinet he selected while crawling through the DC sewer system continue to reap havoc on this nation!

Got the link to original thread? Like to see that again.

But I have to tell you, I have to tell you, he is a decent person, and a person that you do not have to be scared as President of the United States.

Oh, really?? Look at what he has DELIBERATELY DONE TO AMERICA in only a few months, Juan. He is FDR, Carter, and Marx rolled into one and there is no mystery about it.

This particular article wasn’t posted before, but I’ll see if I can dig through the old pings and find a related thread.

Obama hates capitalism as the Marxist makes clear in this recent quote:

“…we need not choose between a chaotic and unforgiving capitalism and an oppressive government-run economy…”

He wants to use the fraud of “climate change” as just one of the mechanisms to destroy capitalism.
Obama wants to destroy the best health care system in the world in exchange for the idea that everyone has an insurance card.

WE SHOULD BE VERY AFRAID OF THIS MARXIST!!!

Juan McCain. Unfortunately quite representative of most of the republicans in DC. Spineless, brainless, clueless and happy to sell out his country for some favorable press.

[DirtyHarryY2K]

Yes it was. I remember my blood pressure spiked to danger level. I posted comment to that thread.

That's exactly what people were told when Castro was just taking over Cuba. I met a lot of people who knew Fidel during and immediately after the Cuban revolution, and they said this is what they told everyone before he turned into a bloodthirsty monster.

This is the moment when I knew it was over. In fact, when I saw the video of it on the news, I turned to my wife and said “That’s it. It’s over. He just gave away the election”.

In the long run, I really think the GOP will be better off that McCain did not get elected, just as the election of Clinton helped the GOP (but then, we turned around and elected another Bush, who destroyed the party just as his old man did).

“This is the moment when I knew it was over. In fact, when I saw the video of it on the news, I turned to my wife and said “That’s it. It’s over. He just gave away the election”.

Ditto. It was exactly the moment where he seemed to be gaining some momentum, and then he just goes and blows it all by making a comment like that. Makes me suspect it was all a set-up to begin with, and from Day 1 THE ONE was destined to be our Dear Leader.

If McCain hadn’t been so concerned with his ‘war hero’ and ‘honorable man’ persona and attacked him re; Odinga, violation of the Logan Act, Wright, Ayers, Acorn, his lack of proof that he is qualified for POTUS, we wouldn’t have a Marxist/Muslim sitting in the White House and destroying American at break neck speed!
He didn’t have the stones to fight back- even when the sob gave him the finger on national TV!

I told everyone, that would listen, that day we had lost..........McCain, in the end is still the consummate politician, that instead of fighting the fires on The USS Forestall, shook hands in sick bay, while wearing nomex.

He set the fire, accident or not doesn't matter, as the ship was almost lost he stood in sick bay shaking hands...watch it on discovery, an amazing look into the man.

“I will fight, but we will be respectful,” McCain said. “I admire Senator Obama and his accomplishments and I will respect him.” When the crowd began to boo, McCain told them “No, no. I want everyone to be respectful.”

Why we lost in a nutshell.

[DirtyHarryY2K]

I found it.

How very true!

To many of us, it never occurred that McCain could win or that he wanted to win.

[cowboyway]

he is a decent person

Decent people don't conspire to take our freedom away.
