McCain speech 10/08/08 calling "fellow citizens" fellow prisoners?? WTF

[UltimateGuitarist17]

sarah palin was his biggest weakness

[cheesygina]

I just noticed the caption that cnn has on the screen at one point. Affordable health care. NO such thing, especially for someone with no employment or getting paid very little!

[Lanceisabeach]

Haha he DID say that

[cheesygina]

oh, so true, so true!! You are 100% on!! =]

[ruin3r]

So funny that he essentially just derailed his entire campaign with three little words.. this is painful to watch though, who are these fucking racist redneck morons chanting "Nobama"? I don't want to live on the planet with people like that..thanks to them, those two twits came within 8% of winning the last election, can you fucking believe that? You know if it wasn't for racism/xenophobia, obama would've won 75%+ of the vote easily..

[civwarfan]

Agreed. We dodged a bullet there. I didn't like McCain at the start but then he pick Palin as his running mate?!

That sealed the deal for me.

[ed28rocks]

1:06

[spock8585]

What ever happened to the great economy that McCain kept saying we had ? Only a true fool would say the voters are whining over nothing

when everyone could see the economy was failing.

[skcg2]

MCCAIN is still my fav go MCCAIN!!♥:)

[MoreBarn71]

wtf???

[quillendaniel]

my friends,

my fellow prisonders.....

[duleyone]

I bet you if you ask him how many states there are in America, he would know there are 50 and not 57 like Obama thinks there is. He was just thinking that if he does not win, we will all be prisoners of Obama.

[mrszwatson]

MCCain sucks

[mrszwatson]

HI PPPPPP

[BillyL96]

Mccain is obiously the better choice for president vote mccain he will ease the pain Mccain/palin.

[miamiron]

sorry we dont want to be fellow prisoners, we have been there the last 8 years and now to think Dan Quayle looks like a genius compared to McCain and Palin...what in Gods name is wrong with the republican party having 2 imbeciles representing them

[hoboindustries]

Wow I didn't know Democrats were such morons

[Yokai578]

Ok what scares me more then anything is not President McCain....it's President Palin. Enough said Obama/biden

[roppokai1]

he said the speech he had said before my fellow prisoners meaning a speech he gave in front of his fellow prisoners back when he was shot down he did not call us prisoners.... watch it again!!!!! and again and again if you need to but get your facts strait please!!!!!!!!!

[cheesygina]

yea, but this is how many years later...we are not his fellow prisoners. maybe his mind is just drifting...we've already had 8 years of someone whose mind drifts, we don't need 4 more!!

[krazygirl88810]

The old man's on something...

Or Alzeheimers?

[MagicDerry]

wow...people don't seem to understand figurative language anymore. Good God. We live in a nation of illiterate, bumbling fools.

[xChrisBoulterx]

I agree with your point, although can you tell me what his figurative speech meant? I have thought of this several times now and I still cannot think of what he could have been talking about. Finally I must point out that if you are to listen to the things being shouted in the background of McCain speeches you often hear a lot of racist and offensive comments being shouted just due to the sheer mention of Barack Obama

[MagicDerry]

Having not heard the full context of the speech, I'm not sure what his figurative language refers too. However, in sound bites and clips of video such as this, I believe in always giving the benefit of the doubt. He could be making reference to us being prisoners to political strife, prisoners to democratic (the party not the philosophy) ideals. Maybe the poster of this video is right, and McCain is off his rocker.

[miamiron]

nice spin you imbecile

[MagicDerry]

But I find it sad and disheartening that people would jump on such a small statement. At the worst, it was a slip. But don't get me wrong...I don't like McCain nor those of his supporters that are racist and ignorant. But I don't like Obama either; nor his racist and ignorant supporters, which is why I vote third party. The republicans and democrats have had a stranglehold on our country for far too long. It's time for the American people to actually have a choice of electorates.

Stolen email from McCain to his Campaign HQ:

"Mayday, mayday!!! My super secret, Patiot Act financed-black election jet has been shot over the enemy blue states. Copy, Rove, are you there? Co-pilot, Sugar Britches...(cough)... didn't make it. Her 'chute failed to deploy so she stayed in the jet. I was found in a lake by school children who prodded and stabbed me with pencils and rulers but escaped. I am now headed to the red states, copy... red states. Over."

[probasementking]

Think Different in 2009 - McCain/Palin

/watch?v=4NUtQcufnQI

[RamirezGates]

"I will help families keep their homes, help students pay for college, make healthcare more affordable, impose a spending freeze" . . . & oh yeah, & "I will forget that I am campaigning for president & flash back to my Vietnam prison cell!" - scary! And even scarier - Palin register's no emotion, and at the end just agrees "YEAH". Heaven help us.

[bluespiral58]

Reminds me of an old saying: "fool me once shame on -- well, we won't be fooled again!"

[bloodelfpaladin]

McCain lucky he didn't get a CIA/NWO bullet to the head for that spoof.

[bloodelfpaladin]

Wake up sheeple!!

[ALaudun]

This is a really good one ! Look at the faces of the two women beside him.

[cheesygina]

McCain is a hate filled, ANGRY old man who needs to hang it up!!

[cheesygina]

That's because he is going crazy..The man can't put more that 5 words together without sounding like a bumbling idiot!!

[nicholasxchaotic]

lmfao, its because the socialist liberals almost have a complete stranglehold on our country and are choking the life our of us. obama and biden gaffe outnumber mccain 10 to 1. dont fool yourself.

[phorat]

I -wish- we were controlled by "socialist liberals" instead of the right-wing nutcake religious freaks that DO control our government (for the next three weeks). Maybe that way, we'd still have an economy, like Sweden, Denmark and Canada do (ALL liberal socialist countries).

[ALaudun]

Just like his predecessor.

[RSNLGUNRZ]

WHen Obama makes a gaffe Obots and the MSM say "Oh he's just tired". When McCain makes one you say he's losing it or going crazy. Amazing.

[BrandonBones]

exactly

[zubernick]

That's not just a gaffe - that's a revelation on his psyche, how close in times of stress that is to his conscious. Sad and scary. As I said elsewhere I admire McCain and the sacrifices he's made for his country, but he's not the McCain he once was and his time has passed.

[artspex]

He's talking out his ass to get elected making promises he can't keep, sounding like a hypocrite and his "my fellow prisoners" comment, sounding like a flashback to his torture days, shows he doesn't have the temperament to be president.

[yohaneuano4]

This shit is scary. America is a prison and McCain is the warden? Is that how he sees it.

[shkdgg]

How brainwashed that crowd is.. no one even booed.

[Lesliematik]

SCHMUCK!

[delmaroeb]

This is unreal! He is having some serious FLASHBACKS! I guess the POW time in Vietnam is catching up to him. Unstable, and Mad old man!

[dan1oval]

What he really means is that Martial Law is coming to a city near you.

[luvblue415]

Guess that's where McCain's mind felt like after last nights debate....and I agree that he's just wishing he could talk about his POW days.

[luvblue415]

Guess that's how Mccain felt after last night's debate!

[VanadiusRex]

McCain's mind is going. He meant to say "citizens," but said "prisoners" instead. This mistake, a bizarre word substitution, is exactly consistent with incipient Alzheimer's disease - the same disease that afflicted Reagan. The good news is: it gets worse very slowly. The bad news is: it never stops getting worse.

[cheesygina]

yea, that's what I thought or maybe Americans, just found it odd that he said prisoners...he's been dying to talk about the POW thing again. It must have been his subconscious talking.
