2008 Primaries Thread 3: The Rejecting and Denouncening

The shadowy 'Other Woman' following Chelsea Clinton looks menacing. Like The Joker.

WEVE GOT SENATOR MCCAIN - MY FRIENDS THIS IS THE REAL AUDACITY OF HOPE!

This is the most inartful, silly sentence I've heard this week (aside from all of my own).

wtf @ Morbs calling me Blanche, I don't even get it

anyway we've been over this but I don't think harping on the hundred years is all that unfair. in full context the quote means McCain wants to stay in Iraq and keep fighting and staying and fighting, and then once it's safe and no American troops are getting killed we'll set up bases and stay some more.

Anyone in Washington with an interest in helping Obama get elected, please sign this petition I'm organizing and pass it on. Thank you.

I want to know if Morbius is referencing Blanche DuBois or Blanche Devereaux or some other mysterious Blanche that makes as little sense as those two

calling someone Blanche sure is sassy, though, albeit bewildering. kudos!

yah exactly - until he says how long it is ok for americans to be killed in iraq ill use 100 years as the baseline

i did tho enjoy his adoption of the mccain my friends tick

I hope saying "my friends" doesn't become a hip/ironic signifier. I'd jab my ears with an icepick.

my friends, id jab my ears with an icepick.

this is likely inevitable - good call daniel

make no mistake my friends I feel your pain

You would miss your ears my friend. lol xxp

itd be fun to go to a mccain rally w/a bunch of people MY FRIENDS and just yell my friends back at him every time he said it

ha

uh i dunno but isn't mideast regional opposition to the US going back before the iraq war based in part on our established military presence in S. Arabia? culturally, a prolonged occupation would not be comparable in purpose or effect to korea or germany etc

my friend aka the steendriver

guys, you know who else says 'my friends'? Teddy the K.

lol @ bathroom stall graffiti:

"wasn't McCain too old about 10 years ago?"

culturally, a prolonged occupation would not be comparable in purpose or effect to korea or germany etc

definitely, I'm just saying that even if you grant McCain his stated backpedal on what he meant, the electorate probably wouldn't like it. which is why the strategists are trying to game the media referees early on and make the whole topic off-limits

the appropriate rebuttal of the iraq/korea-germany comparison is the iraq/vietnam comparison, imho

make no mistake my friends I feel your pain

So it begins.

"Blanche" was meant to be a Whatever Happened to Baby Jane ref (sorry elmo - read the post like Bette Davis) and not aimed at you specifically, dmr.

Did F Rich characterize McNasty properly? "What Mr. McCain actually said in a New Hampshire town-hall meeting was that he could imagine a 100-year-long American role in Iraq like our long-term presence in South Korea and Japan, where 'Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed.'”

Do we know for sure if he took "My friends" from FDR or Sweeney Todd?
Of course, the comparison is largely specious, etc.

uh, that last line is sposed to go before the one above it.

could we go to an Obama rally and yell "MORE partisanship"?

frank rich characterized mccains point correctly but somehow missed the obv follow up question of how long is it ok for americans be dying in iraq then

just cause mmcain says hes cools w/us staying in a peaceful iraq doesnt mean hes not advocating endless war

i mean everyone would be cool w/a peaceful iraq - doesnt mean its gonna happen

and not aimed at you specifically

ok, was scratching my head over that one

I think Rich characterizes McCain's explanation of his comments correctly but the question is how long is McCain willing to stay and fight to secure this supposed 100 years of peace (answer: long)

xpost

did I read that Chuck Hagel was essentially asking the propagandists yesterday "What frigging surge success are you talkin bout?"

i mean everyone would be cool w/a peaceful iraq

Yes. Also, I want a pony.

pony unicorn

That, too.

Also I don't know why Rich is being all Captain Save-a-Bro with McCain when in the last election the GOP and the media ran Kerry into the ground over an out of context line. Being above-all-that is what loses elections again and again.

Not that I don't hate Paglia, but I'd noticed this too

Being above-all-that is what loses elections again and again.

The ultimate in cynicism, and a neat summary explains why the Dems are not worth defending. Pigs in shit, all.

why don't you suggest some lies for Obama to use in the GE, mulla atari?

Not to mention Al Gore "claimed he invented the internet"

From left, Sen. McCain, Daniel, Hoos, J-Ho, dmr

Oh, and Morbs

why don't you suggest some lies for Obama to use in the GE . . .?

"John McCain: Reprogrammed by the Vietnamese"

"John McCain: Proud Liberal"

Last time I was a conservative commentator. Now Lisa Kudrow? Not sure if that's trading up or down.

Coincidence: One of my law partners is taking time today to be an extra in a movie being shot in Coral Gables, starring Jennifer Aniston. Jealous, I am.

"When Senator John McCain was asked here this afternoon how he plans to balance the budget, he said that he hoped to do so by stimulating economic growth - and approvingly cited the example of President Ronald Reagan," the New York Times reports.

"There was one thing he did not mention during his response: the deficit nearly tripled during the Reagan presidency, partly due to tax cuts and increases in military spending."

bwahahaaaguh

LOL at McCain trying to skate by as The Guy In The Reagan Mask.

He even has a magic pen given to him by Ronnie and says he's gonna sign bills with it!
