****ing shame , I like McCain but damn he is clueless

[Spider]

I wont post it , but the Anbar Gaffe was just awfull ........what in the hell was McCain thinking ?

[jhat01]

It's senility dude. He's just old and worn down. I firmly believe that he wouldn't have the physical or mental strength for 4 years in office. I like him too, I think he's a genuine guy for the most part, he just doesn't have it

Yeah , it is a damn shame .......

He's just not qualified from a mental standpoint - I really believe that.

Here's a list of McCain gaffes I posted earlier:


McCain has made numerous collossal blunders in just the past two or three months:

1. He mistakenly referred to the Iranians as Sunnis, specifically discussing Iran arming the Sunni insurgents .. clearly a context that rules out a "misspeak."
2. He made the exact same "Iran arming Sunni militias" mistake a couple days later in Israel, and Lieberman stepped up and corrected him.
3. Supposedly he made the mistake a third time that week, though I don't have the details when.
4. He talked about "Czeckoslovakia" this week (and didn't stop to correct himself).
5. Then he talked about "Czeckoslovakia," again, the very next day!
6. About two months after the invasion of Iraq, he was quoted in an interview - and I'm not making this up - that "Sunnis and Shi'as don't have a history of violence between them, I think they'll get along."
7. In a foolish statement that exposed him as a seat-of-the-pants know-nothing in the GW mold, (a gaffe CBS News actually edited OUT of their airing of the interview), he said the Sunni ceasefires, aka the "Anbar Awakening," was made possible by the Surge. Whoa there, old feller! ... the Surge happened five months after the Anbar Awakening. What made this gaffe even more egregious (and by all rights utterly humiliating), was that he said it in the midst of an attack against Obama for "not understanding" what's going on in Iraq!
8. The afore-mentioned discussion of border security between two nations that do not share a border. PLEASE POST HERE when he corrects that error ... because I don't think he will. He's a stubborn old coot who can't be bothered to educate himself, and he is also very unpopular among the other Senators

And you really wanna chide with "King Obama?" Well, know this: if Barack Obama even whispered the work "Czeckoslovakia," or for even one moment confused Sunnis with Shi'a, or betrayed a complete ignorance of the timetable for major events in Iraq, he would be u-t-t-e-r-l-y d-e-s-t-r-o-y-e-d. McCain and the 527s would be all over the air claiming it was proof Obama is "not ready to lead."

He missed his window (which was in 2000, IMO.)

He can thank the Rove dirty tricks department for that loss.

[Pseudofool]

CBS edited their broadcast to avoid showing the gaffe, instead they showed his answer to the previous question and covered the edit with a picture of McCain and Petreus, since CBS has said they are not happy with it, and mistakes happen.

You also got love the McCain backtrack on this as well suggesting that "The Surge" actually refers not to an increase in the number of troops but all things that are counter-insurgent. Absurd.

Joe-voter really isn't hip to this nuance, but in the debates, I imagine McCain will be toast because of these bumbles and out-and-out lies and distortions.

• Veterans accuse McCain of wanting to occupy Iraq indefinitely

Quotes

"We have a lot of work to do and it's a very hard struggle,
particularly given the situation on the Iraq/Pakistan border."

- McCain, pretending Iraq and Pakistan share a border Link


That "border" Gramps talks about is a country called 'Iran.'

I truly believe that McCain in 2008 will be the most inept presidential candidate since Bob Dole. It depresses me that the Republicans pushed the wrong candidate. They must have (wrongly) anticipated that the Democrats would nominate their "establishment" candidate (Hillary).

Old man yells at cloud! That's the image that comes to mind whenever I see Mac-Cane lately.

maybe that's why they trying to create chaos during the Dem primaries. They really preferred to run against Hillary.

It was their best hope of bringing out the far right wing conservatives.
The country would be much better off if that group just stayed home, listened Rush Limbaugh all day and skipped the vote.

See I think the whole spectrum has it's place.

Or they could down a whole bunch of Vicadin, and just SAY they listened to Limbaugh all day...

It would amount to about the same thing...

Either way, they'll be as dumb as a box of doorknobs and shouldn't be voting.

I contest... a box of doorknobs can at least, sometimes, in some small way, actually be useful...

As I've said all along, I don't believe it's an accident that the rethugs chose a such a weak candidate in McSame.

They know the most disastrous of the Bush policy chickens are still coming home to roost, and they are counting on Obama looking like the second coming of Jimmy Carter.

Their plan, IMO, is to cut and run, leave a Democratic president holding the bag (sound familiar?) and position themselves to take back the WH (and possibly regain their majorities in both houses) in four years.
