More liberal brilliance - and again with the Prez-vs-VP bit. Any particular reason we aren't hearing Obama make all these speeches?


...“We’ve seen this movie before, folks. But as everyone knows, the sequel is always worse than the original,” Biden will say, according to prepared remarks released by the campaign. “Just as George Herbert Walker Bush was nicknamed ‘Bush 41′ and his son is known as ‘Bush 43,’ John McCain could easily become known as ‘Bush 44.’” Because......

(PS I'm not saying there are no valid comparisons - but how about listing/explaning/justifying them vs the petty name-calling?)


“On the issues that you talk about around the kitchen table, Mary’s tuition, the cost of the MRI, heating the home this winter — John McCain is profoundly out of touch." Again: because........

How do McCain's stances on any of this stink, and how are Obama's better - and I mean in a realistic, workable way, not just some empty rhetorical BS like "I'll make health care better!"

Biden will also accuse McCain of running an increasingly negative, nasty campaign against Barack Obama. Thanks, we all forgot how Obama was taking the high ground. :rolleyes:

The campaign a person runs says everything about the way they’ll govern. Wow - as an Obama backer there would be no way I'd throw that out!

I repeat: there is no way Obama is losing this election. But give him credit for one helluva try.

What a load of smarm. Biden and Obama have been trying to deal with issues and McCain is stamping his foot demanding an apology for calling Palin a pig. And you don't think he is out of touch?

What has McCain offered for a health care plan other than telling people to buy insurance? He is even trying to pull people out of the Veterans' health care system with vouchers for privatre treatment. That is out of touch.

Until those two twits agree to compete without a safety net, there is no reason to take McCain/Palin seriously. You are, with this post, just aiding and abetting McCain's efforts to make this campaign about personalities rather than issues.

So saying McCain is a dinosaur because doesn't use email and "is Bush 44" - that's dealing with the issues? OK.....

McCain is stamping his foot demanding an apology for calling Palin a pig. And you don't think he is out of touch? They called her a pig? Classy. That certainly sounds like dealing w/the issues too. :rolleyes:

PS and regardless: what does that have to do with being or not being "in touch" - ?

What has McCain offered for a health care plan other than telling people to buy insurance? Sorry that you haven't kept up on his plan, but not shocked either. PS not saying it's amazing and wonderful either, but that's not the point.

He is even trying to pull people out of the Veterans' health care system with vouchers for privatre treatment. That is out of touch. Because.......

Until those two twits agree to compete without a safety net, there is no reason to take McCain/Palin seriously. Not to someone with blinders on, no there isn't. But there never was anyway.

You are, with this post, just aiding and abetting McCain's efforts to make this campaign about personalities rather than issues.
"aiding and abetting??"

I KNEW it! EJ lives!!

That he doesn't use computers is just another sign that he is unable to adapt. He's a dinosaur because he is stuck in the past, like about 1929.

They called her a pig? Classy. That certainly sounds like dealing w/the issues too. :rolleyes:

No. Obama said that McCain is putting lipstick on the pig that is the Bush ecconomic philosophy and calling it something new. Gramps has language comprehension problems.

PS and regardless: what does that have to do with being or not being "in touch" - ?


He is out of touch with the problems of people who have health care problems. He doesn't even understand veterans' health care. He doesn't need more services. The other veterans must be snivelling. He wants to give us a voucher to go get health care from private providers. I think he is trying to sweep us under the rug to keep people from finding out what the real costs of the war are to the soldiers.

(The vouchers will, of course, channel more money into the hands of parasites like Bill Frist and will serve as an excuse not to put money into the VA hospitals.)

He does not even grasp the needs of what he should be able to consider his major power base, his fellow veterans. I think he has broken faith with us.
