The John McCain groundswell continues...

[brooklynite]

from the Manchester Union Leader:

In Manchester last night, there was just one reporter and one photographer waiting for McCain as his plane -- a white, blue and gold Boeing 737-400 emblazoned with his campaign slogan, "Reform, Prosperity, Peace" -- touched down on the Wiggins Airways tarmac.

The Vietnam War veteran limped as he made his way down the metal stairway, a leather briefcase in one hand and a cell phone in the other, and walked straight into an awaiting Chevy Suburban.

1. Limped? What's wrong now? n/t

2. Ran out of Viagra.

The cell call was probably to Lush Rimbaugh, trying to snag some from his stash.

7. Or he had too much, and was a walking tripod

6. How dare you question this man? Don't you know he was shot down?

and was a POW?

5. Don't underestimate the stupidity of the American public, or the devious

nature of the MSM

The talking point out now is that the liberal "media elite" are favoring Obama, and that is why mccain is not getting coverage

8. I've already been hearing that one as well

librul media! librul media!

To be honest, McCain is lucky he is getting less coverage. I mentioned this before, but in 1976, Gerald Ford lost a razor-thin election partly due to one major foreign policy gaffe when he said “there is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe.”

Meanwhile, McCain gets no coverage for gaffes that are just as egregious, if not more so: repeatedly confusing Sunni & Shia, not knowing the borders of Iraq, not knowing that Czechoslovakia has not been in existence for 15 years, not knowing the leader of Iran, flip-flopping on withdrawing from Iraq if they ask us to leave, and more.

10. He is getting a free pass, and they cover up any blunders he makes

just as they have been doing for bush

This is not the same place as when Ford was president. Also, people were quite upset with him because he pardoned Nixon, which in retrospect he should not have done. That opened a precident that the president is above the law

However, the American public is so dumbed down now, I only hope they realize that much of the problems, especially economic, that they are feeling today, are due to the past 8 years, which mccain would be a continuation

9. It's because of the news of his Photoshop Fraud.

here

"In a study commissioned by Is John McCain A Terrorist, forensic analysts have uncovered evidence that an extensively publicized photograph of the candidate speaking with Senator Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) is a fraud."

11. There is no

"news" about this - Just a blog making this claim.

It is a non event.
