Wow, McCain just sounds stupid on This Week |
|
I can't even count how many half-truths and misrepresentations he's said in 5 minutes. He's flat ignorant. This guy is such an embarrasment, and he's so snide and condescending. "He does not understand..." Ok, I think anybody who said that the Sunnis and Shia didn't have a history of violence against each other in Iraq, shouldn't ever be allowed to tell somebody they don't understand anything ever again.
Nobody says anything with such certainty as a person who doesn't know what they are talking about. That's McCain in a nutshell.

He didn't get contentious but he challenged him somewhat. You could see McCain get a little pissed off looking a few times.

Wonder if his health is going to hell? He's an older guy and it can't be good to campaign so much.

36. I think it's his health. Being older doesn't explain it. Ron Paul is as |
|
old, if not a tad older, and he doesn't come across like McCain. Something is going on with McCain's health.

37. well what I meant was |
|
that older people are more susceptible to certain illnesses etc. Not necessarily that it explains it all, but it could be a negative thrown into the mix. It can't be too easy for McCain to be campaigning all the time. Like lately, he hasn't looked too healthy.

to that joke label.
When Roberts said all Obama needed to do was pick a "really boring white guy" and "there were plenty of them" I lost it. These people make me sick.

16. I watch the Sunday shows |
|
And check out clips from Olbermann, Stewart, Colbert etc. I like watching the Newshour with Jim Lehrer. But TV stuff is mainly bs as you know. I have to read everything just to not be a moron, lol. TV news stuff is like fast food, it's quick, easy, has some fatty satiety, but doesn't really have much in it that's good for you. :)

17. yeah he didn't do too bad |
|
I didn't expect him to be overly contentious, but he didn't let him off the hook on a few things. McCain made several answers that were not answers, or just started sounding nonsensical and George moved on because McCain wasn't going to give a straight answer.

George said he was wrong on that, then McCain cut in and said that they were greeted as liberators. He's just a mess to listen to, you cannot make sense of somebody who cannot grasp fundamental aspects of the situation, but still presents himself as an expert. He says the most inane things with absolute certitude.

He never even answered really. He also couldn't explain why he supported the AZ Amendment (I live in Tucson, it's Draconian) yet he isn't against it... or I don't even know what he was getting at.

47. You've got a point there. He's talking to people who live in Republicanrealityland |

You know, the place where the economy is strong and the good Christian people of America are under seige by latte sucking, liberals.
McCain's smart enough to know it's not true but he HAS to say these things or lose the base.

I thought Rudy and Mitt trying to outdumb each other proved that by losing, but McCain just most be more authentically stupid than they are, so he pulled it off.
