YOWZOE you will be a old fart someday go vote for Obama you will be rideing a bicycle if your lucky

Nice try too, Obama lost it long before the guy started yelling and it funny how nobody in the audience was even distracted by this guy. None of them even looked at the guy or even turned in his direction. Truth is Obama lost it and used the guy as a distraction away his bumbling. Who was distracting him with his Breathalyzer bumble?

[Yowzoe]

Nice try. Try this: watch?v=QL_dXIkF2Wo at 0:50 on. Audience enthusiasm is why Obama had difficulty.

Anyway, it doesn't matter. McCain reads Rove's talking points most of the time. Like Cheney and Bush, he panders to our fears far more than Obama. He's also stuck on old, failed ways of doing things.

That's the point.

[ClassicFIHD]

He stumbled 1 time. Go watch the whole speech. And McCain has a long long long way to go to catch up with Obama's 35 second long bumble.

You are beyond stupid. The reason bad motorcycle riders are called one-percenters is because 99 percent are good.

Most of these guys are the ones that fight and die for your candy ass rights.

Over 500,000 Bikers for a week go to Sturgis, and Laconia also gets over 500,000 Bikers for 9 days straight every year and when was the last time you heard of any crimes begin committed?

And I suppose you never speed or turn without signaling.

I was at the Buffalo Chip and I am in this crowd of Freedom loving Americans. John McCain is a great American who served his country, just as many of the of these veteran bikers did. They are the Heart and Soul of this Great Country. So let He Who Knows The Road, Lead.

[citizen342z]

McCain should be ashamed for pandering to this group who give all motorcyclists a bad reputation with their irresponsible and illegal behavior.

How does anyone associate freedom with this crowd who so blatantly infringe of the right of everyone else to peace and quite? What a joke.

The motorcycles at this rally which "roar" use illegal mufflers - federal regulations (EPA Title 40, Part 205, Subpart D (motorcycles) and Subpart E (motorcycle exhaust systems).

Judgment, character, common sense?
