Much better video.

I agree.
You can tell it bothers him a bit that he let it get to the point that three weeks from election, like a Huffington Post writer just said on MSNBC, he would be defending his opponents American citizenship.
Hopefully he has the sense to stop it before it gets worse.![]()
It's to his credit that he doesn't really have the stomach for this right-wing paranoid bull .
Dude's reaping the whirlwind.
John McCain does have a soul. I can't help but feel sorry for this man. The John McCain of 2000 would have mopped the floor in this election.
As my mother always says though, "You make a deal with the Devil, don't be surprised when God bites you in the ass".
Good for McLoser. He looked about 6" taller there.
Sound like he realizes that unleashing the hound dogs on Cool Hand HUSSEIN wasn't reaching outside of his pissed-off, rabid, foaming-mouth base, which isn't big enough to elect him.
It also sounds like he realizes he needs to try a new direction if only to minimize the looming landslide defeat and try to regain some stature for his post-defeat time left in the Senate.
Will he really transform himself from Candidate McNasty back into civil and respected Senator McCain? If so, his excursion into nasty land will be impossible to shake off. It's already GAMEOVER.
And what does he do with his culture warrior pitbull ?
Does he have a soul? If this had worked in McCain's favor and the polls started turning around do you think he and Palin would have quit this ? I doubt it. It's funny, David Gergen of CNN predicted this. He said John McCain is an impatient campaigner and when he sees a strategy isn't working he'll abandon it quickly.
I'm glad he's stepping back from the precipice. Hopefully the rest of his campaign will follow.
Nothing wrong with that; the alternative is to keep flogging a strategy that isn't working.
I think McCain's campaign has been taken in directions by Palin and his campaign managers and I think he'd rather run a different type of campaign to win. However, he's desperate and when you combine that with a his disdain of a man who he doesn't feel he should be in a race against much less losing to and its obvious why he hasn't stepped up yet. This lady went too far and McCain HAD to say something there, but I still think he deserves some props.
They put too much concentration on Ayers himself and not the long list of anti-capitalist, socialist, communist, Chicago-thug, America-hating crowd Obama has coincidentally been around his entire life.
When you have crazy hair lady saying "why He's an A-Rabbb" you know he's hit rock bottom.
Manny, Palin had nothing to do with this failure. McCain is either not listening to his campaign people or he is listening to his foolish campaign goons. Either way, what a horrible campaign.
Yep, it's all about expediency. If his advisors told him he could win this election by outflanking Obama on the left by proposing an immediate withdrawal from Afghanistan and Iraq, he'd do that too.
I think anything outside of the military, you'd be right.
I think what is wrong is that Obama has a specter of assassination hanging over him that no other politician has, since it takes only one kook with a gun to act on those convictions. Whipping up racism is bad for everybody.
Not that these people would've ever voted for Obama, but I bet if you asked them a month ago, they would've said like "He's too liberal, too inexperienced, he's gonna raise my taxes, he's gonna pull out of Iraq before we win..." etc.
I've heard a couple conspiracies where Bush/republicans ed up things while raping the country, and are now letting the dems have 4-8 years. The reps will yell about taxes etc, then just take back over. They knew McCain would be weak and set him up for the fall thinking it'd be Hillary/Obama ticket.
I'd even almost go as far to say that he is throwing the election.
Palin was the campaigns choice and she tends to side with them on a lot of issues because she's their type of candidate. I personally think she's a driving force behind this but I have nothing to substantiate this other than her passionate delivery of the strat.
"anti-capitalist, socialist, communist, Chicago-thug, America-hating"
same as the Ayers , it woundn't have stuck, it won't stick, except for people, ideological extreme right-wing cretins, who already believe that .
It's not made to stick. It's made to make people think for a second and keep it in the back of their mind during his presidency to keep a close eye on any funny business.
McCain, he just did a terrible job of it and now it is nothing but a last month desperation job while too many goofs start acting like their stereotypes.
For example, like Obama said "Say it to his face". Hash it all out right there in front of the people without the media muddle. McCain didn't do it, too late now, Mcfail.
There was a lot of rumblings when McCain got the nomination that many of the GOP were happy because they didn't care if McCain simply took the fall for Bush's bull . I don't think for a second anyone is throwing an election though.
Also, when you have an UNKNOWN far-left liberal walk in and become president all of a sudden. How can you not look at all the questionable people he has been around since childhood and not stop to wonder. Not this "he's a terrorist", but how has this played into the person he has become and what could he be hiding?
It's a reasonable question to ask.
As long as you ask the same questions about my buddy John's skeletons.
"UNKNOWN far-left liberal walk in and become president all of a sudden."
he's not unknown at all, that' more distracting right-wing paranoid .
far-left liberals don't have a chance when 50% of the voters are red-state suckers.
For his "socialism", a huge majority of Americans are tired of getting raped by for-profit health insurance companies, getting raped by over-charging docs and hospitals, and the docs are fed up fighting with insurance companies. If HUSSEIN were able to pull off a Euro-style single-payer national health insurer (he won't be able to), America would be much better off. The docs would be able to spend their time giving health care rather than fighting about what health care the insurance companies will pay for.
What do you think he could be hiding?
Let's bottom line this -- what is your worst-case scenario?
And he is not unknown. That's disingenuous.
i liked this john mccain...reminded me of the honorable person that ran the campaign in 2000, that showed true integrity.
The just gained momentous respect from me right there...
