    His positive HUSSEIN comments were just a short-lived brain fart:

    "But moments later, Mr. McCain, the Republican nominee, renewed his attacks on Mr. Obama for his association with the 1960s radical William Ayers and told the crowd, “Mr. Obama’s political career was launched in Mr. Ayers’ living room.”"

    Same old lying, ty slime, same robotic talking points.

    Repeat the lie enough times, it becomes believed, like WMD, like Saddam-WTC, like Saddam-AQ.

    Maybe there are enough, just barely enough, decent, civilized, intelligent people who see through the slime, see the slime as slime, who "don't see America as" McNasty sees it, but that's not the people McNasty is trying to win over.

    him, his pitbull , and his Repug accomplices and hateful, rabid supports to . They aren't want America is SUPPOSED to be about.

    I was very happy to see McCain do that. Breath of fresh air, regardless of his motives, it's the McCain people wanted to see before Rove's people got ahold of him. Now have Palin tone it down, and make it about the issues. I don't know if he can get back in the race that way, but this path led somewhere far too dark for him.

    Obama supporters always have to spin everything.
    What am I spinning exactly? It's a fair question.

    I am talking referencing the first clip in the video, where he announces to the crowd he wants to be respectful. That happened before the two questioners asked what they did.

    I don't think it has anything to do with respect. I think the republicans have looked at the landscape and decided their best strategy to regain control is to have the dems in control for now so they can take the blame for all the that's going to happen no matter who is in the white house.

    They also run the risk of '92 redux: Democratic president inherits a ed up economy from Bush and after eight years of general peace and prosperity he leaves the WH with a budget surplus.

    (Not saying Clinton deserves all the credit, but those Bushes made him look damn competent).

    McNasty, lurching again wildly, actually uttered something not nasty, only a temporary lurch, and the McNasty suckers are cherry-picking that to absolve the entire McNasty campaign.

    Let's be clear. McNasty's and pitbull 's de-"euphemized" message to their Repug racist rabble is: "lynch the "

    True but I can't imagine someone went from undecided voter to thinking Obama was a terrorist or a crazy Arab due to McCain's recent posturing. Someone would already have to be leaning that way to be that come to that dumb of a conclusion.
    You're right, plenty of people already think those things about Obama. But, having people riled up and angry calling Obama a terrorist and calling for his death only served to propagate these false ideals.

    And, allowing people to react the way they had been, could help mobilize those that otherwise would not have voted.

    He didn't have to come to his defense though. He could have just moved on to the new strategy. Standing up for Obama went above and beyond what was needed.

    There's no way his defense of Obama won any votes for McCain. If anything, he hurt himself.
    He HAD to put a stop to this. He had no other choice. He would've been seen as the biggest hypocrite in the nation if he allowed this to get any further.

    And, you're right, he might have hurt himself in his defense of Obama, but if he didn't he wouldn't have much of a political future after the election. His opponents would bury him for fear and hate mongering.

    You know this. He knows this. He had no other choice.


    I truthfully don't see the extra disdain toward Obama. McCain has always had a ornery streak. He can't hide it well and when it shows up, he ends up looking like he'd like to strangle Obama.

    But I don't think there's any extra venom. McCain is just being McCain.
    I disagree. While I don't think he wants to lynch him, I don't think for a second that he has any warm feelings for him. The debates showed, with out getting into all the details that we can, how much disdain he has for Obama.

    But, this is the way he is. He sees this as a must win conflict and anyone in his way is an enemy. It's win or nothing for him.

    , yep, why he is being disqualified from being President by the citizenry.

    without pitbull rousing his rabble, McNasty would be down 20 poll points.

    So they'll just go out of business and put more people out of work and off the insurance rolls.

    Good plan.
    If a company has to pay workers less to stay in business, then they shouldn't be n business. If they cannot attract legal workers, they should either raise what they pay people, or close down rather than being part of the illegal immigration problem.

    You want to pay more for pretty much everything you buy now.

    Unlike selfish liberals, I want what's best for this nation.

    You forget the other things I have said in the past. If a business cannot find workers, hen maybe our government should stop subsidizing people not to work!

    There are plenty of able bodied workers not working, getting governmet checks. One solution might be to give them a number. When an employer needs a job like washing dishes, flipping burgers, whatever, the next person in line takes that job, or loses their government handout.

    Now don't get all upity with me on things I've excluded from the past. I'm not going to make every exception or detail like you argue against. It would take pages of typing. Just keep in mind the general idea.

    Need workers... We have plenty not working! Find a way to use them!

    Totally ignoring that the employees that businesses are looking for aren't on the unemployment roles, outside of minimum wagers to do manual labor.

    "We have plenty not working! Find a way to use them!"

    goddam, that was easy! (in your ivory tower)

    When you post, do you use your full-fist dildo attachment and have it all the way IN?

    You are, by far, the nastiest, little parisan on this board.

    "lynch the " hit pretty close to your own hot button, huh?

    thank you, thank you, thank you. You love me. You really love me.

    Conservatives, neo-c*nts, Repugs deserve their nastiness thrown back at them.

    btw, pitbull has, yesterday and today, has continued lying in the most inflammatory terms about HUSSEIN, now about his position on abortion. McNasty's lurch to praise HUSSEIN was a very tiny lurch. The inflammatory lying and distraction from McNasty's ty, every-changing platform and economy continues.

    What are her plans for the economy, the financial crisis, health care, creating jobs, two losing bull wars? Nope, she prefers to tell lies about HUSSEIN and inflame the Repug lynch mob.

    I get the impression that the Republican ticket is running two different individual campaigns.

    McCain wants his political life in the US Senate to be as it was before this election. Palin, on the other hand, is trying to muster the support of the far right for her future support from the Republican base. It does not do much good for McCain to do things while the rest of his campaign is doing quite the opposite, all under the banner of his name.

    He should have thought of that before he selected Palin.

    The root of all of this is allowing other people to run roughshod over his choice for VP.

    Hey, if you want to change the mission of most every public hospital in the country, get to it. We also pay for the uninsured already too. I'd rather be more upfront about it.
    "Change the mission"

    ERs mandated by law to treat illegals, bro.

    The term "every" implied going to each hospital to solicit changes. So, you were exactly wrong.

    Your inference is faulty -- but if you want to argue a post from 2008....

    Were my inference is "faulty", then your ability to sufficiently communicate would be immensely "faulty." But we all know the inference was quite correct.
