McCain's Debate Moment

[RaisedforM12]

How could anyone concieve this specific situation as a WIN?

"Look woman, ur family member died because our efforts in obtaining VICTORY over terrorism were half-assed and put in the hands of the incompetant, don't worry I can fix it..."

Doesn't the initiating sequence to how this situation came to be have a fatal flaw? Shouldn't we be focused on mending a broken system?

[at3buell]

McCain says that the war was badly mismanaged. I think that this war was very effectively mismanaged. No one could have mismanaged it better that Bush.

[RushRobinson2000]

you can't "effectively mismanage" a war, you incompetent idiot.

[elar4563]

Obama will be a puppet for the Clintonistas!!!

[Samprasisthebest]

Don't be ridiculous.

[GlobeNinja]

fool...

[AKRUSTYTURD]

r u a total moron or a just a deush bag?

[DESchneyer1989]

McCain had a little slipup there...he said that when Bush mismanaged the war, many of the sacrifices were unnecessary. If a democrat said a soldier's sacrifice was unnecessary, it would be the end of his career. That's what we call a double standard.

Also, I hate myself for doing this, but I have to...

"this is long, and hard, and tough..."

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!

[Dimunic]

either way! all of you who think McCain is like George Bush or say shit about him without good info TO BACK IT UP it will not matter cuz all you do is talk shit without follow up or details oh cuz hes racist? why is he racist? i mean sure hes an idiot but so is obama. truth be told both are idiots! and thats the fact because i looked everthing up. i dont have to tell you go look it up yourselves

[AKRUSTYTURD]

jhon mccain u suck jack ass go fuck a pigeon u r a dick shit fack bag ass cake crap mother fucker/ unkle fucker got to hell damn ass bush shit cock but doody head

[Dimunic]

do you even know why you dont like him? is it because others dont like him? you people make me sick. i mean i like neither runner ups but still i dont go judging by the color of their skin or what theyre religion is i go by what they will do by what they say they will do unlike you none of you realize both are wrong. either way were screwed!!!!! dude look at their economic plans and all of that stuff CAREFULLY and read over it again and again. youll see something that will reveal were all fucked

[fiksep]

daaaaaaaamn, that chick is bangin'

[wittyvegan]

First of all: The "sacrifice" was not necessary in the first place because it was a war of choice.

Second: Iraq IS a center of terrorism. It is the best recruting event Bin Laden could ever wished for.

It's not about cut and run: It's about stab and run. And who is the bad guy? The one stabing or the won pulling the knife out?

[zukhyubern]

Sorry Johnny, not going to save your failing campaign...

[ADreamOfSpring]

orly?

[Whitepride21]

how can u diss that. that man has been there and done that. what he said was all that could've been said. so suck up your liberal pride and stop being a dick your helping nobody

[AKRUSTYTURD]

racist son of a bitch go fuck a donkey shit crap fat ass

[Dimunic]

hes not racist...just because hes going against obama doesnt make him racist. do you even know why your voting for obama? give me a good damn solid reason if you cant or if you have to "look it up" then your the racist son of a bitch. just because hes black does not mean you should just vote for him cuz hes black and you dont wanna look bad that just makes you a jackass for not standing up for what you believe and no im not white nor black im spanish but still i know where i stand you lil bitch

[AKRUSTYTURD]

[Dimunic]

[TheSouthernCadillac]

i will find you you had better hide long live mccain

[AKRUSTYTURD]

[stefanabba]

oh please, liberals and conservatives both hate him!

[UnhealthySalad]

What the hell was with the applause? People actually fall for this crap? LOL. So sad. "I'm gonna give you a little straight talk"... yeah right.

[brenda721]

McCain used to be a good guy, in a relative sort of way. It's sad really, he's a prisoner of war once again. He reminds me of the Anakin/Vader character in Star Wars. Go figure.

[blackturtleus]

McCain is not presidential material... but neither was little Georgie! It's sad that such ignorant people have a chance of becoming president while people with vision like Ron Paul, Gravel, and Kucinich are long-shots at best. But as David Cross said, this nation really is a nation of six-year-olds!

[Blahcetera]

Although I disagree with him, McCain is probably one of the most genuine and authentic politicians in that room.

Compare that to the yet declared Fred Thompson, who will rent a red pick-up truck in order to appear folksy (while hiring a chauffeur to drive him around in it).

Also count on Thompson to appear in his office with a cigar, because what other image symbolizes classic Americana television machoism than some cigar smoke?

[Len1277]

McCain is so phoney. BS ...died for the cause....balh-blah-blah...died for Halliburton.

[CamelDrive]

what a naive brother of yours! he wasted his life for the greedy, criminals and terrorists of the white house

[psych0funk]

That's about the single best thing you can say in times like these. But sadly we need to realize the truth, and that is the longer we sustain our troop level in Iraq, the more lives will be lost. We need diplomacy not military.

[dvviolinist]

I'm not saying Americans haven't made mistakes, what I'm saying is that if people want their criticisms to have any credibility, they need to step up and denounce ALL of this hateful and unnecessary trash talking and personal insults. I appreciate you not personally attacking me rhisome, but I think you and everyone who shares your views should make a point to reject useless comments like those of patsagainstrats, andrewfields, and midnightchimes. No one wants to hear that crap.

[Bretttido]

"I'm gonna give you a little straight talk" hahaha, he's such a joke.

[dvviolinist]

Wow, after reading all of these comments I'm amazed at how hateful you people are. Mccain was speaking from the heart to her, and I believe he truly cares about every single soldier that has given their life in Iraq. It's fine if you don't like McCain and his policies, but come on! Everyone's comments are simply thoughtless and hateful, and there's no excuse for it, period.

[rhisome]

Thoughtless and hateful? Over 650,000 dead Iraqis, thousands more homeless, widows and orphans. Living under Shite police death squads for aiding Americans. If McCain truly cared about her brother's sacrifice, he wouldn't demand that those he died protecting remain there with a target on their back, getting legs blown off, while Neocons line their pockets with riches. You want hateful? Abu Ghriab, Guantanemo, Romania torture. Know the difference.

[neoc0n]

zzzz...

[brokenlenspro]

he sure has that gay little president hand thing down. what a scummbagg

[EatDaNoseOffU]

Nice guy, wrong on Iraq. No chance in 08

[rhisome]

I think I just vomited in my mouth a little.

[patsagainstrats]

No, that was just your body rejecting the excess seminal fluid you've bee imbibing. Sometimes it says, "enough is enough."

ROTFLMFAO!

[rhisome]

I haven't imbibed any seminal fluid, but it wouldn't compare to the giant amount of seminal fluid you've received up your ass from your dear MCCain, Neocon.

[patsagainstrats]

Bullshit! I bet you could suck a golf ball through a garden hose.

I'll be watchin' you.

[MidnightChimes]

Biggest idiot running. Somebody take him and his 'straight talk' out behind the woodshed for some good ole American punishment.

[fishhead06]

How heartwarming. </snark>

[nomalum2]

politicians beatiful words

[Big10]

So, in summary, McCain's response was, "Sorry about your dead brother, but we're going to stay the course."

[tsgrac]

"Sorry about your dead brother, but we need to make sure more people have dead brothers, so that one day, people with dead brothers can live in freedom and democracy, without their dead brothers, like you, who'll always remember your dead brother, and how he sacrificed so that more people would have dead brothers."

[JFKMLKRFK]

What a Flake...

[dafttool]

McCain says that he's "going to give you a little straight talk." If he had been giving us straight talk during the bulk of Bush's disasterous presidency, instead of doing photo ops bolstering Bush up, then his words might have more weight now. As it is, I've lost a tremendous amount of respect for the man. His good judgment is clearly questionable.

[rsxracer87]

I agree with Andrewfields, who could clap for such a man!

[andrewfields]

i think john mccain is worse than hitler (and worse than bush)
