This is getting to be absurd (http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/08/mccain_powpowpows_in_response.php)

After months of saying that he didn't want to talk about being a POW, it has become McCain's answer to everything.


McCain was a POW.

Does that help you pay your bills?


McCain was a POW.

Can you deposit that in your checking account if you lose your job?


McCain was a POW.

Can you put that in your tank when you can no longer afford to buy gas?


McCain was a POW.

What does that do for you?

Is it possible that we could honor his sacrifice and service without giving him control or our economy?

Can we have an election that's about what we need to do today instead of what happened to him forty years ago?

A McCain sentence consists of a noun, a verb, and the word 'POW'.

I was tortured for 3 days, does that qualify me to be president ?

Lets talk about PTSD- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder = Mental Illness

This guy is known for blowing up, should he have his finger on the nuke button?

Mr. McCain is a cartoon of the miliary person who sacrificed for his country.

Mr. Obama is a cartoon of the oppressed black man who has risen above.

Neither cartoon is an accurate representation of the man or his past.

Care to explain your logic Mr. Roberts?

Yes. Campaigns are all about cartoons and sound bites and have nothing to do with substance.

You seem to reply with a soundbite.
Let me be more direct.
You said this, "Mr. McCain is a cartoon of the miliary person who sacrificed for his country."

Would you care to explain this that you wrote about Mr. McCain?

Ignore George but explain your sentence? WTF does it mean?

It means there was a typo.
Please read my edited post. :)

Thats what I thought you might have meant but I'd still recommend ignoring the POS. He's not worth the band width or "air" really.

Can Being "Black" (wait...Your Saviour Is "White" Too!) Propel You From Relative Obscurity 10 Years Ago Into Becoming the Potential POTUS?

Why Yes, it can!!! Oh my!!!

At least McCain's use of his most salient bio-bulletpoint actually displayed his dedication to his country; Obama's merely highlights the pathetic, racialist (not neccessarily "rascist"), handicapping of our public playingfield; sympathy advancement for Blacks. You would have to be insane not to admit that he would still be a local Chicago politico were he not Black in appearance (But he's white, too--that is a puzzler). The same goes for Palin, BTW. Screw you and your identity politics.

Perhaps.... then again, someone vote for Bush and Cheney, so obviously "dedication to country" is optional.

Yet still, five years in a cage isn't management experience.

"Would you care to explain this that you wrote about Mr. McCain?"

I wrote the same about Mr. Obama. But to explain ...

The initial post "McCain was a POW" certainly regards him as a cartoon.
