That's in his new ad where he's suddenly taking on corruption and Wall St. Mr. De-regulator" is suddenly "Mr. POW Populist." :eyes:

8. People consider that "off limits."
Except for that one Veteran who made an ad about him.

13. It's how you go about it
That ad was a stupid idea. However, now that McCain has put this in his own ad about the economy of all things, I think it puts the fact of his propaganda tapes and signed confessions right square on the table. I think Colin Powell might be about the only person who could take this on and not be completely destroyed, but the man owes it to the country after all that he's done to destroy it. I don't know who else could take it on without it looking completely political, but it's getting to the point that somebody needs to.

11. No offense McCain but your total battlefield time was less than 20hrs, accd to what I've read...
Jesus Christ the guy acts like he was fucking McArthur charging the hill. He crashed his plane, got caught and put in a horrible prison for 5 yrs. I don't consider that "taking on the enemy" and winning.

12. Who might that be? The lobbyists?
Or the token Democrats that offer themselves up every six years for the slaughter?

I'm a constituent and I can tell you--he's so full of bullshit on this one I may choke.

23. Now he's trying desperately to become Obama..
he's got some odd personality disorder. I knew somebody once who would literally co-opt her various boyfriends' personalities. It was very eerie.

20. Yet he sold his soul and took them into his campaign. Rove's politics are alive
and well in McCain's campaign.

18. John McCrawford
"You drove Al Steele to his grave, and now you're trying to stab me in the back? Forget it! I fought worse monsters than you for years in Hollywood. I know how to win the hard way!"

"Don't fuck with me fellas!!! This ain't my first time at the rodeo."



Am I the ONLY person who is reminded of these quotes from "Mommie Dearest" by this statement from McCain? :rofl:
