Best of John McCain at the Saddleback Civil Forum

[kotonamu]

if you vote for Mccain you vote for three things

1 you r voting for an economic disaster that will reek havoc on the generations of tomorrow

2 you r voting for countless more deaths and pointless spending in iraq

3 you r putting sarah palin in office and we all know thats bad

so do the right thing

Vote obama!!!!!!

[AirThief]

we spent 4million to study the reproductive traits of crabs in alaska, btw, approved by gov. sarah palin.

[AirThief]

want better teachers? hold them accountable! there should be NO SUCH thing as a failing school. teachers make around 35-40k per year. Maybe if you had higher wages for teachers, more ppl would want to be one?

[HOGnDocta]

oo stfu u ignorant moron...plenty of people want to teach...they get pensions and they only work for half the year dumbass so that salary is absolutely fine...of course theirs gonna always be a such thing as a failing school ha u cant eliminate that simply by paying teachers more of increasing money spent on education...everything has a certain failure rate...ridiculous

[AirThief]

McCain thinks its ok to spend $5000 per day, wich equals to 350 million spent in iraq, wich he intends to stay there. yet, he wont spend a dime on education. also he is the guy who is known to kill earmark spending right? HE JUST VOTED FOR the wall streat bail out with millions in earmarks! that was yesterday!!

[PVTSolis]

McCain sure loves to talk about how he was a P.O.W.

[AirThief]

he makes sure to mention of it in EVERY speech.

[captainamerica50]

no shit PVTSolis, you don't get held prisoner in terrible conditions for what are supposed to be the best years of your life without it making an impression, idiot.

[LAWSTUDENT33]

NICE KITTYKGIRL

[Ejsus]

" I dont want to take any money from the rich. I want everyone to be rich. " This is just stupid!

And why is he talking about 3 millions on bear research, What about the wars ?

[beermiler]

Devastating! You really have me on the ropes. A few more zingers like that and I'll be down for the count for sure.

It's comical how easy it was to get you to do this. Again, this reinforces the point that when you disagree with someone, you resort to name calling, the lowest form of discourse, and also hypocritical, given your self proclaimed non-idiot status. What's next, gonna find out where I live and beat me up?

I'm done with this, but I can't wait to hear your response.

[misterdix]

They should call this "McCain's Meatballs." Not 1 challenging question. Ask him why he wants to continue war, why he suddenly after years of opposition decided to literally embrace Bush & his corrupt policies? What is his reasoning for feeling that gays don't have the right to marry legally? He's a grown man who needs to explain his opinions. I'm not 6 and he's not my dad so no more 'cause I said so' bullshit. McCain is for war and against love. Why don't we try going the other way for once.

[beermiler]

"They all say whatever it takes to convince the idiots that can't think for themselves to vote for them." Kittykgirl

Well, sounds like you plan on voting for him.

McDiaper, very clever....

I'm not so cynical to think Obama is lying, I just disagree with him. It's rather prejudicial, intolerant, and bigoted to call millions of people idiots just because they disagree with you.

[ancestralyuba]

I see the Daily KOS types have crawled out of their hole.

[tundrasheep]

I think 3 million to research bears is brilliant, we have to learn about nature to help and preserve it, to learn and coexit with it. But why doesn´t he mention the Trillion dollar cost of the Iraq war ? How much will the US involvement in the Georgian Crisis cost ? The US is pumping weapons and military funding all around the world. That's where all the money is going. And who gains ? The corporations. People don't gain from this, they just die. Guided missiles don't come cheap.

[beermiler]

The 2 part comment below is in response to this from barrydaye 5 days ago.

"Jesus has not died for anyone's sins. You Christian scumbags need to live an honest life on earth.

Adolf Hitler should have killed off all the born again Christians and no one else.

Born Again means close minded, intellectually stunted, and credulous to words not proofs.

Fuck The Born Agains!"

[beermiler]

Senator Obama is a Christian, and therefore listens to an invisible man in the sky. The logical extension of your statement is that he is a coward, unless he is just saying that to get votes. Which scenario do you prefer?

[beermiler]

The below was for KittyKgirl.

[nparga23]

nObama's pick of Joe Biden, a Washington insider dunce shows nObama is a LOSER going down in flames in November

McCain/Romney 2008!

[nparga23]

this debate or forum WON the election for McCain and showed the world nObama is an empty suit without moral convictions.

[nparga23]

a nail in the coffin for nObama..another Washington dunce plagiarist.

nObama is LOSING every day. A boneheaded choice that pisses off the Hillary women voters

LMFAO at Commie liberal Democraps.....

McCain/ Romney 2008...a landslide!!!!!

[proton3227]

McCain kicked his ass.

[katmaidog]

Rick Warren told both candidates that he didn't want "Stump Speeches". Damn near every response by McCain is a stump speech.

[ninamichelle77]

Agreed.

[jackspicerisland]

SO Bulmer is a dumbshit. But instead of hiding his ignorance under a bushel like most, he decided to parade it on YouTube. Will he post photographs of his micro-penis, too? Can we look forward to narratives from his wife about precisely how sexually unsatisfied he's rendered her? If he supports George Bush at this point, August of 2008, why not just register as a mental defective with the government?

[jackspicerisland]

McCain's "TOP economic advisor" is Phil Gramm--enabler of Enron and the man who claims we're "a nation of whiners." Whoops. Now McCain gets grumpy when someone points out how many houses he owns? Beautiful. Watch for more of the same as these bullshit artists get dismantled piece by piece by the cold hard facts.

[givethemahand]

Thank you to poster Ricahrds for this info:

S&P 500 total stock returns during eight year Presidential terms

Clinton 259%

Eisenhower 216%

Reagan 200%

Truman (7.8 years) 185%

Bush 3%

That is not 3% per year. That is 3% over the entire 7+ years.

John Mcains economic polices are very similar to Bush's

Scary huh?

[thomaspaine2000]

Go John! A candidate who isn't afraid to say what he believes. Please pick Mitt!

[joefury23]

"that's not flip flopping, sometimes its just growing in wisdom" uhh... weak

[ancestralyuba]

Dear Lord,

Please send a flood over the Daily KOS posters so they will go back to their little hate filled corner of the world.

Amen.

[jackspicerisland]

Dear Lord, please let this sadsack poster read these facts:

S&P 500 total stock returns during eight year Presidential terms

Clinton 259%

Eisenhower 216%

Reagan 200%

Truman (7.8 years) 185%

Bush 3%

Thank you, Lord!

[Calanonxo7]

alright, some of you need to stop hating on Christians. It's not like we have done anything to you. And you can call McCain evil all u want, but Obama has faith too. So either way ur picking someone you dont want... so you know what? God Bless You!

[MasterMark123]

The real Christians need to take back their religion from all the crazy Fundamentalist. The crazy Fundamentalists hijacked your religion as well as the Real Republican party. There is no love, no compassion, no tolerance, no acts of charity, no care for the poor. They are only happy when they are attacking someone or some group that is not of their belief or life style. These people are dangerous to The American Constitution... THAT is why Christians are being "hated" on. As you put it.

[Calanonxo7]

The media today only shows the "Christians" that are hating on others. They don't show the real Christians that actually have everyday lives. The ones u speak of are not Christians if they are not doing as we were taught to be doing... it is them that make the rest of us look bad.

[MasterMark123]

then you all must do something about it . Dont just sit by and let these people represent American Christianity . They have warped it into something wicked and fascist.

[topbigdog1]

You are an embarrassment to the human race!!! You FOOL!!!!

[beermiler]

This is a pathetic comment by any standard, and I'm sure Senator Obama would say the same thing.

As for your hatred for Senator McCain, perhaps your open, intellectually expansive mind should consider that he while he was a soldier in Viet Nam, a war entered by JFK and escalated by LBJ, 2 democrats, on the USS Forrestal his plane was hit by a mis-fired rocket from another plane and he almost died. He was later shot down and spent 5 1/2 years being tortured, (to be continued above)

[beermiler]

(Continuation) in a NVA prison in Hanoi, all to protect your right to your pathetic opinion.

Cheers.

[harley19770]

Obama voted for live birth abortion 3 times.He is sick.

[LILVOKA]

ArmyBluf. McCain was not in attendance of the forum for at least 40 minutes. He was "stuck" in traffic. Obama did a poor performance no doubt. But it's kind of strange that the senator who was suppose to be in a cone of silence was outside. News reporters were told McCain was arriving. Citizens who live near the church wanted tickets but were denied. McCain finished the questions fast. And to make it worse, it was too good to be true. I know your conservative, but c'mon: This was a set up.

[88snowwhite88]

oh please give it a rest with this. good God.

[HolyProphetJoseph]

Obama was bested, so McCain cheated. Of course, that's the only possible explanation.

Let's face it, Obama has done so many remarkable things in his life.

Next, Obama proves his deity by jumping down the throat of a live volcano & emerging with a chunk of lava, unscathed.

Stay tuned, sportsfans!

[ebaybenjidogg]

So he tells "heartwarming stories", flip flops his positions, and dodges issues...how can you vote for this moron?

McBush / Big Oil 08

[88snowwhite88]

you're an idiot.

[bulmer13]

I'm voting for McCain because of your post....i'm kidding, i was voting for him anyway (esp. after this performance)

[MasterMark123]

McCain out and out lied and spread misinformation as usual. He said that America was founded on Judeo-Christian values. This is simply a lie and propaganda to make people believe something being pushed by the far right

[bulmer13]

it is NOT a lie, you ignorant dickhead. this country was founded in Judeo-Christian values. Our forefathers who wrote the Constitution were men of faith. In God We Trust - still on our money. Get a life, dude. You are simply not smart.

[MasterMark123]

If your ignorance was not so frightening it would be comical! Our "forefathers" were NOT Christian nor Jewish. They were Deist's. Jefferson stated very strongly that NO religious ideas nor dogma be placed into the Constitution. He bloody wrote it !!! ALL Religion was barred from the forming of the laws of the new country. Yet you had/have the freedom to personally worship any god you wish. Where the hell did you get YOUR education ??? Alabama?

[bulmer13]

the laws of this land are based on Judeo-Christian values. Thou shalt not kill - that's illegal here. Thou shalt not steal - can't do that here. For all the commandments that don't mention honoring God in some way directly, they're generally a part of the law in the US. By you saying "bloody", I imagine your some douchebag English bloke who has his news spoon fed to him by the media over there. You should just focus on your fascination with breasts, the Spice Girls, tea and bad teeth.

[MasterMark123]

LOL ... I can't even begin to tell you how wrong your argument is on So many levels .. it's like talking physics to a hillbilly. We're not on equal educational planes here. As if a fish would know anything about television

[jackspicerisland]

So you're a dumbshit. But instead of hiding your ignorance under a bushel like most, you decide to parade it on YouTube. Why not post photographs of your micro-penis, too? Can we look forward to narratives from your wife about precisely how sexually unsatisfied you're rendered her? If you support George Bush at this point, August of 2008, why not just register as a mental defective with the government?

[bulmer13]

ask your mother about my penis...she'll tell you about how you were born. But seriously, I'd rather be on board with a guy who has a pair of balls to say what he believes than that punk who got schooled last Saturday. For the record, I just donated $50 to McCain's campaign because of your post. I really want to see you cry in November and I'm taking names. I'll make sure to gloat after our victory...or did you not see the polls on Obama's dwindling support? Ciao.

[ancestralyuba]

LMAO! Damn!

[katmaidog]

"In God we Trust" wasn't on any US money until 1957.

[drake3106]

He dodges issues by giving single-sentence to-the-point answers, and Obama answers everything directly by using "metaphorical" issues. (ie. the choice of the female being rough doesn't answers the question of when he believes a baby receives life - as a Christian would be able to)

[ceebee1402]

Notice how he refused to answer who he is going to put the tax burden on? A real fiscal conservative, doesn't keep promising no taxes to pay for outrageous spending. But both Bush and McCain insist upon this path.

We're truly on the same path as Rome.

[88snowwhite88]

haha the lib loons are all over this trying to talk crap about mccain who clearly was honest, relaxed, and well spoken, not to mention sincere, funny, and personable.

mccain came across as a president. obama came off as someone in way over his head.

[munkyz234]

88 i wonder if this guy is a skinnhead.. youd have to be an idiot to think mccain was not immediatly the hero walking into a christian forum. we know his stance on abortion and how hell drop that hes a christian for an applause. just vote for any guy thats following your beliefs and im sure well have a great leader just look at bush hes a devout christian right?

[88snowwhite88]

most people do vote for the candidate who has morals values and a belief system in line with their own, that way you feel like you are represented.

i voted for bush twice and would do it again.

have a nice day.

[undecidedguy]

Mark my words, McCain will be our next president. This is a guarantee! McCain represents all that is, and all that should be America! He is what America's forefathers intended for this country. That Obama coon represents all that is wrong with America. He doesn't know his place in this country! Coons like Larry Elder and Clarence Thomas know their place, and know that only real Americans should hold the presidency. McCain will win! Deal with it!

[ancestralyuba]

Now I know why Obama won't show up for a townhall with John McCain.

[dave777blaster]

The trouble with evangelicals is that they are so easily duped.

Bushed duped them all and Mcain will dupe them all.

HE has them believing in myths and that he is religious.

he is as religious as a tick.

and the evangelical fanatics are so easily duped.they believe his BS

America ranks in back of the pack

and all he can say is find bad teachers another line of work,well you better fire most of them obviously most of them are bad.

[eski502]

he did better than obama. he just talked in circles and failed to mention his militant religious church.

[drake3106]

America ranks in back of the pack

and all he can say is find bad teachers another line of work,well you better fire most of them obviously most of them are bad.

this is quite true;but you can't count out american kids having some ignorant dream of getting through life with drugs, sex, alcohol, and free speech(by free speech I mean not having their ignorance shot down by the government)

[dave777blaster]

The teachers coming up are as dumb as the rest of the vast majority of America.

garbage in garbage out

[5random1]

Only Ronald Regan used "my friends" in speaking more often than McSame.

But it is McSame's repeated use of "my point is..." and his use, following most of his answers, with "seriously" that should give us pause.

Signs of a lack of sincerity and truthfulness.

[DammitSteve]

This "theocracy" talk is an extreme exaggeration, especially when you start to look at the religious problems in other countries, including Europe. I'm an atheist and I'm voting for McCain because he has proven to be more serious on questions of foreign policy, all the way from the possibly career-ending Surge position to his eloquent expression of solidarity with Georgia last night. Middle America will sort out social issues for itself. McCain is solid on the big FP questions, and Obama is not.

[ILUVFUNKEYS345]

Granpa McCain telling stories!

[nhdrummer34]

God bless America, and John McCain. McCain 08;)

[justwantmyrugback]

I hear there are jobs in Canada kitty. Enjoy.....

[geekworks]

why do the liberals hate God so much? what did He do to you to earn your hatred?

[coltyxcore123]

Kitty, you just hate god because your life sucks.

[2000poundsbaby]

John Mccain talks honestly and for Americans. He doesn't speak for a party, he speaks as an independant, wise and experienced man.

Obama sounds like an old politican which is ironic. Mccain offers the real change.

[30percentplusreturns]

Mccain owned Obama bigtime. He answered all the questions to the point, with no rambling on of nonsense like obama. Obama is too inexperienced and it just showed big time.

[yyyhenry]

McCain '08

[RachTrinity]

GREAT JOB!! McCain in a KO

[RachTrinity]

GREAT JOB!!!
