The official THANK YOU John McCain thread!!!!

[AgadorSparticus]

Thank you John McCain for that little "100 yrs of Iraq" gem. It will make it so much easier for the Obama or Clinton ticket come November. And thank you Bush 41 for endorsing him because it has escaped you that the country is absolutely repulsed by the name BUSH. The number of people braving blizzard conditions (hey, I'm from the desert and it looks like blizzard conditions to me even if it's not technically) should have been a warning sign. But thanks for that endorsement. The Obama or Clinton campaign couldn't possibly trump that all on their own.

But above all, lets go on with the whole war drum beating thing because you think Americans are too stupid to notice that they can't afford to fill their tank up with gas or buy groceries. THANK YOU for giving us hope that there really will be change on the horizons as record numbers of people show up to vote. People could give a shit about democracy in Iraq when they can't buy food. That seems like a no brainer, but hey, that's ok. Because the Obama or Clinton campaign couldn't do better than this strategically in November if they tried. So, thank you John McCain. I'd love to hear more of your Iraq or Iran talks. Keep em coming...

:evilgrin:

to add: I just wanted to post this b/c after listening to his WI speech and seeing the huge turnout in Houston for Obama, I'm getting excited about November. I think it will be a landslide. So no matter who wins(whether it is Obama or Clinton), WE ALL will win.

[NanceGreggs]

1. Right on target!

Excellent!

:applause: :patriot: :applause:

[GainesT1958]

2. Whoever the person in the room was...

Who blurted out "whoops!" in the midst of his rambling, I'd like to give 'em a medal!:D

Wonder how many people were there--100 at most, it looked like on TV. And maybe that's COUNTING the assembled media!

One thing we can say about McCain: when his kids were little, he must've been really good at getting them to go to sleep at night--just by talking to 'em!:eyes:

B-)

[Blue_Roses]

5. I mean, can you imagine having to listen to him drone on for the

next four years...

[AgadorSparticus]

8. god no! he is just the WORST speaker I've ever heard.

And his incessant talk about national security just makes him unlistenable. Ugh. He might as well talk about 911/Al Queda/lets smoke them out of their holes or some stupid shit. Really. It's horrible. He needs new advisers too. I expect better entertainment from such a veteran.

[ginnyinWI]

3. And thanks to Huckabee

for keeping the religious right occupied, and preventing McCain from solidifying his nomination 100%. Oh and there are a bunch of them who are still holding a torch for Ron Paul, too.

By the way: I think Huck is still around because he's begun his 2012 campaign.

[JenniferJuniper]

4. To infinity and beyond

Wasn't that the plan from the start?

McCain just let the truth slip out. "Straight talk" or senility? You decide.

[AgadorSparticus]

10. What I am afraid of is if McCain takes Huck as VP hoping to get the fundie vote.

That is the only thing that concerns me. But then I look at the numbers and to hell with it. The numbers of democrats voting this yr so far is just mind blowing.

[ginnyinWI]

28. yeah if together they only get half or less of the votes Obama gets...

who cares, right?

[Withywindle]

6. Thank you John McCain! (words I never thought I'd type)

Thank you for being so monotonous, so wooden, so cadaverous, so creepily unhinged. Thank you for filling your backdrop with pre-printed lame slogans and people so stiff and white they look like you checked them out of the morgue on an exchange program. Thank you for being photographed gloating over the birthday cake Bush brought you while Katrina pummelled New Orleans. Thank you for bloviating about how peaceful and pleasant a tourist destination Iraq is now, and how it's just like a midwestern farmer's market or some such insane surrealist fiction exercise.

[CalGator]

9. his backdrop folks are so stiff

they make him seem like Justin Timberlake by comparison. and that's saying something

[Withywindle]

30. And McCain himself makes Mike Huckabee look like Sly Stone n/t

[momster]

18. 'Morgue Exchange Program!"

Genius!

[Withywindle]

26. Heh!

I figure it's the ultimate Repug "welfare-to-work" scheme.

[ProSense]

7. And the Republican supporters of the past seven plus years. Here is a tip for

every Democrat on how to respond: Quit yer flinching, Chicken Little!:

So Michelle Obama said something the Freepers don't like and they're inventing mean names for her.

So Barack Obama borrowed some bon mots from a buddy and Little Green Footballs smells blood in the water.

So Red State and Rush want Hillary to win because they think they can beat her.

So. What.

You there, with your finger on the pulse of the American Taliban, sitting in a puddle of your own urine and wringing your sweaty hands: get a grip.

I know you're not used to being in this situation. I know the smell of victory is foreign to you. I know that the prospect of a woman or a black man in the Oval Office is so intoxicating that you fear you'll wake up from the dream, but it is real.

You're a Democrat, it's 2008, and you have the wind at your back. The only way we can collectively fuck this up is to start taking our cues from the magykal fascistical clusterfuckmagorium of the wingnutosphere.

So what if they find Michelle Obama's remarks scandalous? Peace, love and understanding make these Orcs vomit. Do you understand?

So what if they think they can exploit Barack Obama's so-called "plagiarism?" In the span of two years, their party has enthusiastically fallen in line behind child molesters, puppet regimes, war criminals, tortures and torture-enablers, traitors, domestic eavesdroppers, and all other manner of scofflaw.

You don't bite your fingernails to the cuticles worrying about whether their indignation has legs. You tell them to shove their red herrings and spittle-flecked accusations right up their ass.

I can't believe how much weenified pantywaist nonsense I've read on this site today. These braying nincompoops took you by surprise somehow? They bray, that's what nincompoops do. Their brayings hold in them as much meaning as the odd toenail clipping session. Their words and thoughts are dead cells, sloughing off the body as dead cells do, and they don't need to be ruminated upon, unless you have nothing better to do than chew toenails.

That's the response to John "Weather vane" and Cindy "Snooty" McCain.

11. I'd like to thank him for this little tidbit from tonight's WI victory speech.

from... http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4676963

Re: this passage from McCain's WI victory speech, criticizing Obama:

"Or will we risk the confused leadership of an inexperienced candidate who once suggested bombing our ally, Pakistan..?"

It would appear that the CIA is taking tips from the "inexperienced" Obama, and McCain is siding with the terrorists...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23228197

I'm not a fan of making these types of strikes a regular thing, but the Waziristan region is a problem, effectively a failed sub-state.

[momster]

22. Versus

Risking the mumbly confused leadership of a worn-out candidate who thinks bombing presently peaceful nations cause for humor?

[krkaufman]

29. But always playfully sung to the tune of a catchy hit from yesteryear... n/t

[SKKY]

12. That 100 years of Iraq is gonna be like turkey meat after thanksgiving...

:applause:

[long_green]

13. "100 Years!" What a great thing to heckle him with!

McCain really is a weak candidate. His party has abysmal baggage to carry, he supports it, and he flip-flopped outrageously to do so. Oh, and he's old and sick. Racism is the only thing that can save him, and it very well could.

[knight_of_the_star]

14. I doubt that could do the job

If he goes that way then he's really in trouble and will tar his party with a nasty brush in the process.

[long_green]

15. He won't do that...

the GOP hate machine will do it for him.

[The Doctor.]

16. I've been same the same thing!

My 13 year old asked me whether Clinton or Obama could beat McCain, I said; "McCain said 'Americans won't care if we're in Iraq for ten million years... the Democrats could run a turnip against him and win."

It'll be a bloodbath for Republicans this November.

[eridani]

17. And for making the splits in the once invincible Repub coalition visible

The haves and have mores couldn't get Giuliani or Mittens, and they are settling for McCain. The wingnut base has Huckabee, and the Libertarians have Paul. For all the sniping in GD:P, for once I think Dems will be more united. Grassroots populists will temporarily swallow the money domination of the primary process and get a lot busier growing the Dem base of the party. It looks like the campaigner with the 50 state strategy is headed for victory, and the next step will be figuring out how to do an end run around the big money.

[TheDonkey]

19. McCain = Dole II

a disaster for the republicans

[my3boyz]

20. Thank you for the picture of you hugging GW Bush! It will be shown

over and over again to illustrate your close relationship with Bush.

[Lochloosa]

25. This one?

[shadowknows69]

21. I don't fear McCain

He represents an important, but I'm sorry, dying generation. The ideals aren't antiquated but the method is. People on both sides and the middle want to move forward.

[Moh96]

23. Thank you Republicans for nominating this McCain

[SoCalDem]

24. Don't forget the "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" song n/t

[jazzjunkysue]

27. I miss Mit. Muckane doesn't belong to a polygamist cult, doesn't wear kinky 17th century

underwear, never strapped his dog to the roof of his car and drov across 4 states..

Mit was good comic relief.

I miss Mit.
