Do you think that is why he left the hall right after the debate rather than meeting with the voters, which he referred to as "my friends" all night. He certainly didn't want to speak with his friends after the debate.
I also thought it was strange when one man asked a question about the bailout and McCain began his answer with "I bet you never heard of Fannie Mac and Freddie Mac before . . . " Yeah, because we are so stupid we never heard of it before. So condescending. At least he didn't say "I betcha"

My old eyes, could barely see them either, but if you highlight

nah, doesn't work...they're still here, and I barely watch anything that's...sm
called entertainment.
They're still here....
They are both being controlled
Both McCain and Obama are being controlled by others. Nobody is going to change anything without "their" permission. The people with the big money and power are the people who will decide what happens. If they go against that they will end up like JFK. It still amazes me how a lot of people still think we have a say in what happens. We can march, protest, elect all we want. The "elite power" people are the ones who will decide what is going to happen to our country. The only thing I see as a value for this president is his public speaking ability. Nothing else. All decisions are made in the congress which is being controlled by dems. The president doesn't have a say, he is just a public speaker. Even at that he doesn't write his own speeches.
Everyone is getting worked up over nothing (myself included).
Fox news is barely legal and on its way out and RUSH is a lying druggie sm
and that is so obviously the source of your info. I am trying to feel sorry for you but it's all too ridiculous.
I still don't believe government-controlled...
or provided insurance is the answer. Just today read article about how a bunch of women from Canada who had problem pregnancies had to come to the US to have their babies because of the socialized medicine in Canada because...news flash...you can't put a pregnant woman on a waiting list for treatment because babies are born when babies want to be born...and that is what happens when the government administrates health care. Waiting lists...substandard care...and on and on and on. The VA is a government administered health program...go ahead and tell me THAT works. We need to come up with a better plan than socialized medicine...like prioritizing social spending. If you really want to insure all kids, then give their parents a big tax break for insuring them themselves...don't extend entitlements higher and higher up the income ladder. Sorry, but that makes no sense to me. When the troops come home and the war is over, you can talk about that money then. It is nonstarter while we still have troops in combat, no matter who sent them or why (and by the way, it was not George Bush personally, it was your duly elected Congress). We have to fund them while they are in combat. I don't think even the most liberal (no matter what the definition is) would be for withdrawing funding while we still have men and women in combat.
Who controlled congress until 2007 whenever
Which side of congress voted down any suggestion of setting time limits or considering troop withdrawals. Which candidate voted against the war 5 years ago? Which candidate brought a timetable for troop withdawal up for consideration in February 2007? Who lobbied to defeat that initiative? Which party is now trying to highjack that same initiative and take credit for it in an election year? Simple questions. Direct answers, please.
yes, this was a government-controlled election.
manipulated, to make Ahmedinejad the winner.
All the prostesting will not help, and Khameini remains the supreme religious leader.
A lot of Mousavi supporters said they will never again vote in Iranian elections.
The developments regarding North Korea are scary.
Then we will agree to disagree. And a controlled interview...
is not like meeting with a hostile head of state. And I don't think an "understanding" of Islamic principles is going to help talk to the prime minister of Israel OR Ahmadinejad. That is just my opinion.
I beg to differ about Joe Biden's comfort zone...he is extremely comfortable in DC. He is an established member of DC politics. Unless you have not been paying attention in past years, you know this. He is a toe-the-line Democrat. When he actually said in public what he said about McCain, I thought well, maybe he isn't as partisan as I thought. Buzz, wrong thought. I was right. He is. He came from a blue collar background...so did Obama, so did his wife. But they are far, far removed from that now. And they trot it out when they feel they need to "connect" to the blue collar out here among us. Maybe some buy into that, and that is fine. But some do not, and that is also fine.
Personally, I feel Joe Biden wants to be Vice President and whoever he has to mow down in the process, fine, casualities of the political war. No blue collar people I know throw friends under the bus to promote themselves. But maybe the blue collar people I know are not like the blue collar people he comes from. Can't say.
Yes, he used to talk about partisan bickering, and he and McCain worked on a lot of issues, and if McCain felt he was right then he bucked his own party to support him. Which is why Biden said he viewed McCain as a friend and "I would be proud to be on a ticket with John McCain." Notice how quickly that changed. Either you have integrity or you do not. Either you feel loyalty to a friend is more important than partisan politics or it is not. He showed me what was important to him. I was not impressed. That is my opinion of course, entitled to it, just like you are to yours. We just disagree.
All that being said, I do feel that he is much more qualified for the job than the man who is running for it. I would still be concerned, but I would not be as concerned if Biden were in the #1 seat instead of the #2 seat.
But that would not change my opinion of Joe Biden as a person. I think he lacks integrity, I know he lies, because he was either lying when he said Obama wasn't ready or he is lying now when he says he is. Either way...he lied. Same old Washington politics...sorry, I don't see much change or any hope thereof where Biden is concerned.
You should be writing to your democratically controlled congress...
about those issues as well. They are the ones we actually vote for personally and put there. They are the ones who should be taking care of us. Their approval rating is way lower than Bush's. And yes, I am pointing fingers at BOTH sides of the aisle.
Where were you when Franks and Dodds and the dem controlled finance committee
the financial crisis in its wake?
His temper is too bad
No place for the maverick. Maybe he can pluck turkeys in Alaska with whatsherface?
I would rather be known for having a temper than for

Your subject is JM's temper....sam's is
media bias, which is rampant, 100 to 1, if not more on the side of democrats. It's a fact. Period. No amount of spinning off subject can change that.
I am not trying to deflect anything. Having a temper...
does not mean you cannot govern. And we do not know what was said before the outburst either. This is a pretty slanted list. And I can't believe you are calling it "uncontrolled outbursts." Geez.
Let's talk about something that matters. A temperature is not as dangerous as making a decision if you can't find your VP to help you. MUCH more concerning to me.
McCain is much more qualified, has much more experienced, and is more ready to lead. I am not a Republican, I have no loyalty to ANY party. I want what is best for this country, and in my opinion it is not Barack Obama. He is just lacking in too many areas. He is not a bad person, he is quite eloquent, has a lovely wife and beautiful kids. But, in my view, he is NOT ready to be President.
well, yeah....but you might want to temper it...
in case the guy picks you. It didn't go well with Kerry Edwards either. They had to live with all the stuff Edwards said about Kerry. However, Biden ALSO said that he respected John McCain
(this during the primaries) and he would he honored to be on a ticket with HIM. Bless his heart. You just never know what is going to pop out of his mouth....like saying Obama was against clean coal. That sent Obama supporters flocking to West Virginia et AL whose main economic source IS coal to do damage control. Maybe they should limit his interviews...lol. Sigh.
my ex-brother-in-law got SSI because he had a temper! nm

Well, if using the "F" word indicates you have a temper problem...
I would say 95% of the male population and a good bit of the female population are in big trouble.
Biden temper, more lies...

day trader temper tantrums
You don't cave in to a two year old, why do we cave in to wall street? Intervention cannot prevent this.
LOL I'm good at losing my temper too. n/m

Have you by any chance researched Biden's temper?
just wondering.
Why don't you discuss like an adult instead of throwing temper tantrums?
Inquiring minds would like to know.
Oh pleeze...McCain cannot even keep his own temper under control..as far as his 'knowing what to
about Iran - if I am not mistaken, during his big thud of his bid for President, he let all of us know what he would do - bomb them. Look at the mess we are in NOW with Iraq - you truly want more of the same? I have a son who has been in the military for the last 20 years and he is sick of the lies that have been perpetuated by the outgoing adminstration and has lost countless friends because of the very same. McCain indeed - what a joke.
