3. McCain. He just keeps getting worse as a candidate,
If we work hard, this election could be a great one for progressives.

"Blah, blah, blah, Obama, liberal, blah, blah, blah."

MCCAIN LOSES IT!!! RAWWWWWR....lol

He didn't lose it. He stumbled and bumbled the beginning of his answer and could only counter with one of his trite talking points (oooooo, he's a liberal, OOOOOOOO!!!), but he didn't lose it.

I will say his staff obviously sucks cuz they don't seem to be able to do a good job of getting him comfortable with answering questions that they have to damn well know are coming.

8. I hope the Rethugs keep pointing out how "liberal" Obama is, as I think that's become an asset
in many voter's minds, given where the Neocons have taken the nation. Liberals have actually been
well vindicated by the Neocons sorry-ass performance; and most people know that ... well except inside
the rapidly shrinking GOP bubble of denial and ideological bankruptcy.

9. He didn't even
PRETEND to answer that question. He didn't even have the courtesy to LIE when asked about lobbyists in his campaign. He just flat out acted as though the question hadn't even been asked.

Quite unbelievable.....

10. This happened on Pox (deliberate typo)

They're setting McCain up to be replaced at their convention. They know he's an old 71 and will falter in the campaign. He will be forced to drop out for health reasons and be replaced. Remember the republican base doesn't exactly like him and he fathered an illegitimate black baby.
The Swift Boaters will take him down.

14. He adopted a Bangladeshi girl named Bridget
FactCheck.org: "These false appeals to bigotry and fear remind us of the infamous whispering campaign of eight years ago, when anonymous messages just before the South Carolina primary falsely accused Republican candidate John McCain of fathering an illegitimate child by a black woman."

15. Reply # 10
Uh..... I think that was sarcasm... to point up the fact that Repugs don't like McCain either, it being Bush himself who spread the lie.

17. I figured perhaps so
but it had the look of a declarative and despite my distaste for McCain's unique "maverickishness," just didn't want to let it stand in print as such without an asterisk.

20. No bad, really. It's Bush & Co. who kneecapped
a guy and his family then hugged and endorsed him - a fellow Republican even. I was just making sure everyone knew that this was just an ugly smear created by the right.

(Footnote: To the McCain family's credit, Bridget didn't even know about the smear until she, at 14, Googled herself. A "confused and hurt" child asked her parents "why the president of the United States doesn't like her and I said honey that's not what happened, you know this was about people that were mean spirited and wrong," according to Cindy McCain in an ABC interview. Cindy's response is powerful ammo for racist 527 attacks.)
