[Seen the light]

1. The ending is the most damning n/t

[still_one]

18. Extremely powerful, especially after what we have been through the last 8 years

I hope that the Obama camp uses hard hitting ads like this

[George II]

60. How about "I disagree with what the majority of Americans want"!!!

That alone should lose him the voted OF the "majority of Americans"! He is dangerous and out of touch with reality.

[gateley]

2. THE best line --

"I disagree with what the majority of the American people want."

I don't need to know any more than that.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

41. That should be played over and over and over again.

That should be our "I voted for it, before I voted against it"

[cui bono]

57. Yeah, we've seen where that got us.

:grr:

[HughMoran]

3. 100 years

:P

[peaches2003]

54. Obama should.....

put this picture on every billboard in the country. It says all there is to say about McCain's policies and more than that about his character. What man with a grain of integrity could do this after all Bush did to him in 2000?

[HughMoran]

55. Yep, I say print the picture and post it on every street corner

Republicans don't want to be seen as without any sense at all.

[Historic NY]

4. John McSame, the Insane One pure blind senile ambition........

[ToddinWI]

5. I had not heard that last line before.

If this gets some airtime, it's a big deal.

[SeattleGirl]

6. Wow. That is one kick-ass video.

[ihavenobias]

7. K & R. Excellent use of Pat Buchanan, respected and high profile conservative n/t

[mcollier]

9. Push this all over the blogisphere

This needs to be an internet firecracker!

[rebel with a cause]

16. Pat does not like mccain.

He's not crazy about Obama, we don't expect him to, but he really does not like mccain!

[clevbot]

30. Conservatives don't like Mccain

[Muttocracy]

8. when you're such a hawk you make Buchanan nervous... nt

[FatDave]

43. How fucked up is it...

...when the voice of reason in the republucan party is Pat Buchanan?

[uberllama42]

10. I'm actually not that offended by the last comment

about political ambition. Presidential candidates pander like that all the time, and at least McCain admitted to it. That's actually sort of admirable.

Too bad that he pandered to racists, though. No amount of honesty could make up for that.

[RufusTFirefly]

13. Me neither

I agree with uberllama42.

I'll never vote for McCain, but the state of American politics is such that candidates feel compelled to support or condemn people or ideas for political purposes only -- not because they believe something, but because they think they have no choice but to come out with a strong statement or gesture. Remember when candidate Bill Clinton condemned Sistah Souljah or flew back to Arkansas to preside over the execution of a mentally challenged person on Death Row? It's reprehensible, but politicians do it way too often.

[BobTheSubgenius]

14. I'm not that offended by it, either.

He *seemed* somewhat chagrined by his ambition getting the better of him, and as you say, it was honest. The offense I take is from the totality that is John McCain.

I once respected him somewhat, and actually thought that, if a Rethug were elected, at least he was someone I could have kinda lived with. Look how wrong you can be. Hard to believe that, in his own way, he might actually be worse than GeeDubya.

[Divine Discontent]

11. did you make this?

it's very good! thank you. is there any way to get this chopped down to 2-2.5 minutes with just the clips for the heavy republicans I know that won't sit through nearly 7 minutes of this? I can certainly get them to answer for McCain's direct comments in a couple minute video, or do you know of the perfect video that's on youtube for that?

thanks for this - I will give this to anyone who will listen. I won't get replies from many people if I ask them to watch this, even pro-Democratic people, but if I get a 2 minute video, I can get them to answer why they still support him.

one thing I always ask Clinton supporters who say they'll vote McCain is, so where people stand on what they'll do in office means nothing to you, and you only vote for the person, not what they'll do - and you say you are an educated voter???

thanks again!

12. This was made by a Ron Paul supporter months ago but is just now getting out

[NewJeffCT]

23. interesting

that it was made by a Ron Paul supporter.

[JDPriestly]

15. The music gave me a headache but otherwise the video is great.

The music is just on and on, too loud, too boring, grating.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

17. The music makes it impossible to hear the words properly.

I hate that tendency on the radio and TV -- nobody says anything anymore in a commercial without music under it. AGGGHHH!!!

Please re-edit it, somebody, without the monotonous and jangly Philip Glass music. Please. :grr:

[MrSlayer]

22. Yeah, the music sucks.

It's trying to set a mood of sadness mixed with trepidation but is only pulling off annoying.

[jeff30997]

50. Yeah.

They should have used Thrash Metal instead.

Like,for example:The band named Slayer.:)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slayer_(band)

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

19. Very damning...

...but corporate media will be ignoring this stuff while they go after Obama.

Add to that, we still don't have any reason to believe what happened in Ohio and Florida in 2004 won't be repeated.

As always, the deck is stacked.

[bjobotts]

20. If you don't believe this guy is intentionally deceitful, He subpoened over 70 thousand

pieces of revealing information exposing the GOP senators and reps in the Jack Abramoff investigation wile chairman of the Indian Affairs committee just to keep them away from the public eye and boasted of suppressing this information in locked files in the senate building so republicans would not get in trouble. He released 2% of the records because they were real;ated to the tribes suits but the rest he keeps away from investigators through his manipulation of the senate rules. Corrupt and deceitful mixed with delusional authoritarian elitist thinking and behavior means the man should not even be allowed to be in the senate much less president.

[bjobotts]

21. How does he get $55 thousand disability for being 100% disabled while making twice that working

as a senator. Good at sucking the government teat for past 30 yrs while marrying rich to get campaigns financed means he's a rich, ambitious, manipulating tax payer burden.

[happygoluckytoyou]

24. OKAY....you got my vote John "The Bush Republican" McCain

of course----

i have an i.q. of 85
i am slow as a rock and dumb as dirt
i want 100 years of war
i have the memory of... what were we talking about

[barbtries]

25. distracted by the music

otherwise it's a great compilation of clips.

[barack the house]

26. I don't think it's straight talk he kinda has truth tourettes he'd lie if he could help it.

[calmblueocean]

33. "truth tourettes"! LOL!

I see what you mean. Sometimes McCain pops off and says what he's really thinking instead of what he's supposed to say. I think that's why he seems so catatonic when he's speaking these days. He doesn't want to even let himself get CLOSE to popping off another "100 years" gaffe. Or worse.

[The Wielding Truth]

46. "truth tourettes"! Perfect! Or staight-talk hiccups!

[Vinca]

27. Email this to everyone. The difference between this and the emails

about Obama is this one is on tape and comes directly from McCain's mouth. "I don't agree with the American people." That seals the deal.

[rambler_american]

28. "I disagree with what the majority of the American people want"

Let's turn that around, shall we? The majority of the American people disagree with what John McCain wants.
Jesus Rickrolling Christ! what an arrogant son of a bitch.

[southern_belle]

29. kick & rec

[KoKo]

31. This is great work.....! K&R!

[Sam Ervin jret]

32. Arrogance and Ignorance

Haven't we had just about enough of that?

[wryter2000]

34. Bookmarked

I know just the freeper I'm going to use this on. :evilgrin:

[graywarrior]

35. The republicans can't dig a big enough grave for themselves

Arrogant little monster.

[ThatsMyBarack]

36. McPAINFUL to watch!

So smug and senile.

K&R anyway.

[harun]

37. Why doesn't the media ask him, when he talks of these comparison's

to Germany, Japan, South Korea, that "So do you feel America's foreign policy should be an Imperialistic foreign policy?".

[Forrest Greene]

38. After The Upcoming Election Is Stolen

...and McCain is selected, I'll never choose to vote again.

(Although, of course, I may never again be given the _opportunity_ to vote...)

[harun]

39. LOL, "I disagree with what the majority of the American people want"

Now, that's a winning campaign slogan if I ever saw one.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


:sarcasm:

[MrScorpio]

40. John McCain is Right!

[sandyj999]

48. I Doubt He Knows Where That Is. n/t

[1trackmindGOP]

42. Awesome and dead accurate video

Thanks for posting it for all to see.

[dflprincess]

44. I can't get Youtube to run on my computer

What's the last line?

[ClusterFreak]

45. It's the only truth McCain speaks in the whole video...

He admits "ambition" was why he called flying the confederate flag a 'state issue', even though he knew in his heart it was a deeply offensive symbol to many Americans.

[butterfly77]

47. If enough people vote for him ...

and he wins, this country is through..He is a nut!

[mcollier]

49. Alert! Send this video link to at least 10 people

or post on as many blogs as you can.

Do something....

[jeff30997]

51. Wow! Fantastic video!

The best line:"I disagree with what the majority of the American People want" It says it all.

Government of the people, by the people, FOR the people McSame!!!

Recommended.

[JoePhilly]

52. Great, but should be separate videos .... the one on Iraq should have this ...

... here is the case we need to make ...

How can the American people vote for a man who supported the Iraq war in 2002 - 2003 ...

who said on TV that it would be "quick" and "easy"

Who in June 2003 agreed with Bush that "the mission was accomplished"

who was a key cheerleader for that war from 2004-2006, going on TV to say we'd turned the corner multiple times (when we had not)

who then went to an Iraqi market in 2007 and LIED about the conditions ....

a man who continues to intermingle Sunni / Shiite and Al Qaeda / Iran as if they were the same thing (just as Bush has done)

... a man who said that it would be ok if we were in Iraq for 100 years ...

a man voted against the Webb improved GI bill

and who recently said that our troops levels are below pre-surge levels when they are not ...

One video ... McCain WRONG on Iraq 2002-2008

Much of the video needed for the above already exists ... If I had the skills, I'd make it!!

[loveable liberal]

53. Make sure you honor John McCain for his contribution to this country...

but under no circumstance should we elect him President. The man has spent his life in public service and we should respect that. Becoming swiftboat hammers or mocking him is counterproductive and mean. We can beat him using his record against him. There is really no sense in becoming like those types of people.

[cui bono]

56. Good one. I wish I had a clip of when Scarborough described McCain's platform

Something like guns, war and... I don't remember it, it was funny and sad actually.

Anyone have that clip?

[Mithreal]

58. I know what happened to the white dog doo from the 70's

It might have been the low quality image of McCain, but it made me think of that song.

I offend myself even thinking it, but maybe there is another Silverman fan here.

[FunMe]

59. Maybe McCrazyCain was set up?

I've been thinking more and more that the republiCONs know that they will lose big time in 2008 (the presidency, Congress and the Senate).

Maybe they figured heck throw our WORST candidate and let's hope for a better one in 4 years.

There is NO WAY McBush can win.

[Erin Elizabeth]

61. Take out the current music.

And either leave it out altogether or do something eerier but only fading in and out when the titles are up on the screen.

Also, no exclamation marks.

Otherwise it's good, but the very first piece is where McCain has his back to the camera and that's a biggie. Subtitle that shit. Caption it.

[Prophet 451]

62. It's almost poigniant

It's a tragedy what ambition will do to a man.
