O was funny, especially the great-grandfather comment and the meaning of his name. I thought McCain was really roasting rather well!

that's funny because my mom, a pub, probably won't vote for McCain
She is prejudiced against old people, but she's 64 and heading there herself.
No more than I agree with everything McCain says.
That was my point.
I agree - McCain is a wolf.
Making promises he won't (or can't keep), offering tax breaks that won't amount to anything (his 1% rich friends will still get more than they need) and we will be given scraps hoping that appeases us, keeping the war going, oil companies will continue to profit, housing market will continue to decline, banks and brokerages will continue to be bailed out all while the American people suffer for it. We will be led into a depression before his time is done (while of course blaming the other side), the list goes on and on and on, all the while he will continue to call us "my friends".
I agree that if McCain/Palin win this one,
Big-time.
I agree that McCain has been for deregulation...
yes. But when it counted, when he saw the crisis coming, he cosponsored legislation to REGULATE. Obama did not. This is not just about money. This is about putting your country first. WHen you see that your economy could be put in crisis because of a program in trouble, you should put country before party and fix it. Obama, Dodd, and Frank did not; in fact, made it worse by encouraging Fannie/Freddie to go on just like they were. That is about judgment. THat is about caring more about your country that your party or your career. Yes, I will accept that McCain had a lobbyist as recently as last month on his campaign. Will you accept that Jim Johnson, with Obama campaign until last month, was one of the CEOs who walked away from Fannie with a HUGE golden parachute, PERSONALLY benefitted from the cooked books?
No, I do not accept that McCain had anything to do with this crisis that faces us now. He is the only one who saw this coming and tried to head it off, and Obama and Biden BOTH helped kill it.
Obama showed very plainly that he put party and career first, and the American people second. As did Dodd, Frank, and yes, Biden because none of them would buck the party and help the legislation pass.
I think his judgment is wrong, I think his priorities are wrong, I think he and the Democrats are on the wrong side of this and Republicans are on the right side, specifically John McCain.
I am not convinced it was all about money. What I am convinced about is that it was party ahd politically motivated and we the rank and file Americans got thrown under the bus. McCain tried to stop the bus...the Democrats, Dodd, Obama in particular...pushed the accelerator.
I agree - it WAS McCain's best debate. And if that's
xyz
Agree 100% with you regarding McCain being an adulterer....
leaving his first wife who had been disfigured in an car accident! Shame!
Why did he cheat on her and later divorce her?
He could have done this without cheating on her first.
I do NOT believe him when he says the he regretted it because he NEVER regretted it.
Also McCain was offered to be released from imprisonment, what he refused. Really nice gesture to his wife.
It is old stuff, I know, but the OP reminded me of that. Talk about trust!
Agree and believe republican ticket will be McCain and
xx
i agree. It makes McCain look weak and
what a great leader he would make...McBush...
I couldn't agree with you more!! I'm voting McCain for the same reason. nm

Gourdpainter, I agree with you. So do most people since Obama is ahead of McCain.
McCain doesn't have any solutions except trying to get Palin to tear down Obama with her big mouth.
I agree neither choice is great, but will vote McCain just as a vote against Obama. nm

already heard this - wasn't funny then, not funny now!

Why are you McCain people so desperate? You are just like McCain. No plan. Just criticism of the
other candidate. I guess you want the same old thing we have had for the past 8 years. God forbid McCain win with that wild woman, Palin.
I agree, that goes for both sides. I don't agree with those starting trouble over...sm
on your board either, but then some of you come and take it out on the people who only post here and we have nothing to do with the fights over there.
I enjoy communicating with liberals and occasionally do learn something from conservative posters, so I refuse to let the driveby, no moniker, one-sided finger pointers, self-indulging posters drive me off.
Rush is right. I agree. Somebody's gotta agree.
....in many of his policies in his attempt to completely socialize America.
I hope he fails.
I hope he succeeds, however, in the office of president, and doing the right thing, and moves to the center.
However, it's not looking good. He's left of left so far, isn't he. Showing who he truly is, in his first acts as president.
This is funny.nm

So are so funny
LOL, your posts get funnier and funnier..with more hate shining through, LOL.
This is so funny! Thank you.
I copied it and sent it to everyone I know, and they love it, too. 
OMG! Too funny!!
Especially the guy who said he was in favor of national healthcare because he works 40 hours a week and his benefits are terrible. Yet he didn't know that Bush doesn't WANT him to have good medical benefits.
The last guy was right on the money (even if he didn't know Bush's name): Bush SHOULD be over there with a gun in his hand since he started this mess.
Someone should point out to these people who can't remember that his name IS what he is: BU_ _ SH _ _!
Vanna... I wanna buy a vowel.
That's funny. No, I am most
Too funny - here's 1 more
Donald Rumsfeld was meeting with George W for their daily brief regarding the war in Iraq. Rumsfeld said to George, And yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq. Bush is visibly distraught; hanging his head, wringing his hands. He finally looks up at Rumsfeld and says, My God, that's terrible. How many are in a Brazilian?
This is what is funny about this?
They have made up their minds they have got this thing won just like they did in 2004. They don't even entertain the possibility that they will lose. They are so egotistical to think they might even throw the elections to make the Republicans look like fools. This is along the same thought process that they think they won by losing California primaries and losing on Prop. 50.
I think they know they're in trouble, but have chosen to lay their strategy out like they've got things under control. The Democrat blogs are all up in arms about what is happening with the party. Let's just say the extreme left is very unhappy with them right now, and they think the extreme left is their bread and butter. They thought that in 2004 and look where it got them.
Wow, this really shows how screwed up they are, not you dem, but your party.
LOL - too funny.
Too funny. One of the best
http://seattle.nwsource.com/horsey/viewbydate.asp?id=1400 David Horsey from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and Mike Keefe from The Denver Post consistenly nail it....too good.
It's almost funny to me
How heated this debate has gotten. When I looked at that site I posted, where it compares the current legislation and the proposed legislation, it doesn't look all that different, just more funding so that more children qualify.
Funny that. sm
Yours and one other are the only bad comments about her I have seen. it doesnt' appear to be working.
Too funny
Unfortunately too true.
I don't think it was funny....like I said, if he DID say it...
she should have slapped him silly right there in front of the cameras and everybody. But it IS rumor. It was told, supposedly, by 3 reporters from Arizona to this guy writing a book who has a bone to pick with McCain. As to not coming forward because of fear of retaliation...I don't buy them for a nanosecond. I am sure when this guy went looking for dirt some money crossed hands and a lot of embellishing went on...like any political smear book on any political candidate. When you can't deal with real issues that can be proven or disproven (Read "The Case Against Barack Obama" and you will know what I mean). There is none of the personal smear tactic where innuendo and "anonymous" quotes are used. Just plain simple historical fact that can be proven. THAT is the kind of information I pay attention to. Not the "anonymous" rumor stuff.
Obviously if it DID happen they wish it never happened. Obama wishes someone had not been taping when Wright went off on his rants. Obama wishes no one had checked on his fib about voting against saving babies who survive abortion. McCain wishes he hadn't done the things he did to cause his first marriage to fail. Everyone has regrets.
What about all the rumors and innuendo about Hillary Clinton bathmouthing the secret service people and calling them names every bit as hateful as what the rumor says JOhn McCain called his wife? I just chalked that up to rumor and innuendo because it could not be proven...just like I am doing about the McCain thing.
As to them denying it...why bring more attention to it...ever heard of "I think he doth protest too much?" I don't blame them. I would not dignify the accusation with a denial either.
DO YOU THINK THAT'S FUNNY?????
x
Funny...no.
Sad and pathetic......yes. How can they ban one speaker because of his affair and lies and yet let another man speak who did the exact same thing. The only difference is that Hilliary was not dying when Bill shoved a cigar up Monica's.....well....you get the idea.
Something funny about
the sandbox. Your subject line is a phrase I used a while back when I was on the run from the Bible thumpers. Their fearless leader will be hopelessly confused now that the libs are coming out in droves sporting all kinds of intimidating intelligence. Their heads snap around like Linda Blair in the Exorcist as they spin themselves into the ground and especially when the same phrases and concepts start showing up from all different directions. They really do not know what to do when they can't dominate the board and woop up on one lib at a time...seems to be their limit.
too funny
Yeah and McCain has a biracial love child..........just ask GW, his campaign told everybody the REAL truth. O is a closet muslim (just ask the mental giants on this board!). He eats baby brains for breakfast. He wants to teach kinder-kids the proper way to put on a condom. He's hiding, he's hiding, he's hiding..........but, he hasn't been able to drop a decent deuce since the onset of his campaign because the media is so far up his bum. Bad Obama. Bad, bad, bad. Spank him, spank him hard. Yeah, just like that. And the truth shall set you free.
Too funny!
I will throw softly here :-) I guess my point is, and again, I may be showing my ignorance on the subject. I am a Christian, coming from a very fundamental background, but have since strayed from so much of the legalism. I am beginning to see a lot of things from a different light, if you know what I mean. I was taught that same-sex relationships was a horrible, horrible sin. I no longer feel that way about the issue. I do have questions though. We as a human race are here because of heterosexual relationships are we not? Not from same-sex relationships. Would we be extinct if that was all there was, and if it were the norm? I have worked with gays and lesbians, I have been neighbors of gays and lesbians, as I mentioned two of my best friends are gays and lesbians. I do not have an issue --- REALLY! It is just some back of the mind questions that I have. I guess we all have questions and may never know the answers. I am not voting against gay marriages. Yes, your same-sex relationship is your business as my heterosexual relationship is mine - - but it seems as if no one is questioning mine - - Is this because it is right, and the norm??? What exactly are the issues here??.
that's okay - it was funny the first
time. I imagined myself as a human broach.
It is just too funny
to see it happen though. I know they are trying to distract with stupid things and it really shows this individuals ignorance. But, it is an amusing way to kill a few minutes while my new software downloads!
I think she is funny. . .
I get tired of the pompous know-it-all attitudes.

Too funny
That gave me my laugh for the night. Thanks,
too funny - thanks
 
OMG - too funny
My friend emailed me a few weeks ago and said if he says "uh" one more time...
That was almost as funny as your
Funny -- that's what I see too -- Nothing!
Funny
Sorry, I thought it was funny when McCain slipped up and said "fellow prisoners." He might have come closer to the truth than he realized. I saw, and heard, Obama slip up on the number of states. Big deal!! Have you ever been so dog-tired you could barely speak your own name? Obviously both Obama and McCain were in such a state but there's always those who try to make a mountain out of a mole hill!
A little funny...s/m
Here in the boondocks where I vote we don't even have voting MACHINES. LOL Not only that.......in spite of the fact that I KNOW all of the workers personally and they KNOW me, I have to show my driver's license!!!! I never question it. I do not know if this is a State requirement or if it's a requirement of this "backwoods, hillbilly" HONEST place in America. Might not be such a bad idea if all elections went back to the backwoods way of doing business.
This is really funny to me. I did not need my...sm
12 grandchildren to come down to Florida to convince me to vote for Obama. Neither did my friends. Most of us would move back to Jersey before we would vote for McCain, especially the women, not likely. We have been Democrats all our lives and are not going to change now. Obama has the Jewish vote in Florida hands down.
Funny, you seem to know he will fix your little
11
You are funny and right!
McCain did himself in over and over... first picking Palin, then going to Washington with his superman cape on, then bashing Obama, being snotty on the View, being rude in the debates, making noises. What the heck? I think he would be worse than Bush. People think Bush is as bad as it gets but I think truly, McCain could be worse.
Too funny! Yes, I am an MT. nm
.
You know what's funny?
There is an Obama ad running here in Arkansas. It cracks my husband and me up. It is McCain advertising FOR Obama. All showing McCain's angry expressions during the debate and at the end from McCain's own mouth saying he voted with Bush 90% of the time. He also says that he has voted with Bush more than anyone else even from his own party. That ought to cause most people's common sense (if they have any) to kick in.
that is too funny
the bible contradicts itself all over the place
