For someone who is so against people making fun of his candidate, you sure create a lot of posts making fun of other candidates.

Oh, boy. This is almost worse than that "Bomb Iran" thing. Go Romney!

Complete ignorance about the world - sounds like the penultimate Republican candidate. I see a sudden spike in McCain's polling in the near future.

[Archasgame5]

He made a mistake... he knows Putin isn't the President of Germany.

I oppose McCain.
If you think he is the penultimate...who do you think is the ultimate?

[Drocket]

Giuliani. He manages to combine McCain's stupidity and warmongering with a healthy dose of outright immorality. Of course, he falls short on the laziness. If you could somehow mix some Thompson in there, THEN you'd have the ultimate Republican presidential candidate (also known as "Reagan")

There are many clowns in US government McCain is one of them.

We agree, I think Reagan was as close to an ideal Republican candidate/president as we've had in my life time.
Reagan exuded conservatism. However I do not see any of that man's qualities in the GOP today.
I thought Fred came the closest, but he has now dropped out.
I am very disappointed.

WTF ?

Mccain did it not me ?

How you can blame me...


:rolleyes:

[AnnEsthesia]

No, I blame you for telling people to stop speaking negatively about your candidate and then you create post after post with the intent to spread negativity about other candidates. Either abide by your words or never again tell Zo or myself to "shut the fuck up" about Ron Paul.

If you show me a VIDEO CLIP WHERE RON IS FOR EXAMPLE TALKING RACIST THING, I WON`T SAY SHUT UP....

THINK BEFORE YOU POST...

This is little bit different, i don´t speak negatively about Mccain, he does it himself and i´m just laughing at him, why shouldn´t i when i see that your presidential candidate is so un-educated...


See all YOU talk is your OPINIONS without PROOFS...If i see no proofs, i tell you to SHUT UP...


Your "victim-role" isn´t working here, think before you post...This situation is totally different than the situations where i have asked you to shut up...

:rolleyes:

[AnnEsthesia]

Nope, I am not a victim, but neither are you. When Zo points out all the reasons why Ron Paul is not a good candidate, he is not spouting opinion.

These threads prove you are a hypocrite. It is not different. You demand that everyone shut up about Ron Paul and all his failings because that is all you have left.

Put up or, in your own words, shut up. Either stop with the "Ron Paul is wonderful and stop being mean and posting negatively about him" or stop posting these threads about other candidates. I will spout your own rantings back at you: "Let the public decide about the candidate instead of posting about [them]. People can think and research for themselves."

I really need to stop wasting my time with people like you...

If you want to have discussion ABOUT THE REAL POLITICS, RING BELL, but if want to continue that BS, cause this isn´t going anywhere and has nothing to do with presidential elections and has nothing to with the problems that usa is facing today.



bye bye...

[AnnEsthesia]

Bye. Have fun being a hypocrite. :) I will continue to note it. You are free to ignore it, just as Zo will continue to laugh at your commands to stop talking about Ron Paul in anything but worshipful terms.

McCain is an ignoramus,,,,lol.. and if he is thought to be like Reagon.. ackkkk.. even scarier yet.. I will say tho.. as much as Reagon ( the union buster ) was ignorant.. McCain takes the cake.. Go Hillary!!!.. oh btw.. can anyone be more racist then Obama?.. oh yea.. the Rev Al Sharpton and Oprah could be.. but .. it would be a close race between the 3!!!!!!!!

[ViolaLee]

Wow, if he's President will we have another old man like Reagan, not fully aware of what is going on around him? Senility is a bitch. I'd like a younger President please, one with all his marbles. Thank you, come again.

[K-D-K-D-K]

The way I look at it is that every President (Democrat & Republicans) has had a slip up giving speeches. Can that be agreed?

One thing you need is a person who is knowledgeable about the military and understands tactics in a time of war. McCain is the only one qualified. Was Putin in Germany at the time? You cant base one slip up on determining who a person is. Why do you think he was in his right mind based on this?

[ViolaLee]

Welcome to the board US.Army Retired! Thank you for serving our country.

Sounds like Putin was in Germany giving a speech.

Or maybe McCain was in Russia? Or maybe Angela Merkel gave the speech? It's hard to know, McCain sounds very confused.

McCain said he himself was in Germany and President Putin of Germany gave a cold war speech. So is he comparing Putin to Hitler?

Maybe that's the real story, not just mixing up the countries.

“I was in a conference in Germany over the weekend and President Putin of Germany gave one of the old Cold War style speeches.”

simple question.. here is a simple answer.. his proven track record of statements and foul ups. his idiotic views and statements concerning the worlds problems just proves he would be another govt official more worried about everyone else except the good ole U S of A, which im sorry to say is far from the land of the free or the proud..When I hear him address how he is willing to help our country with over taxing and job loss due to illegal aliens and overseas contracts ( first and foremost ) over yours and his warmongering views and apparent worries of who and how to kill, I will once again try to have an open mind about the guy. now.. I have a question.. why do you feel he has the knowledgeable mind concerning military tactics?.. because he was a pow?.I lost alot of family to war.. I lost an uncle who could not be recognized due to a grenade while carrying dynamite. don't talk to me about war!!!! please..we should not be in war, period!!! Who are we, to try to democratize a country that doesn't want a democrazy!! they will never.. I repeat.. NEVER stop killing over there and our military showing in that country has only worsened the killing that is so brutally apparent!

Well I think he was referring Putin to one of his cold war predecessor's such as Stalin, Kruschev, Brezhnev, Chernenko, Andropov or Gorbachev since Germany didn't have a President in the Cold War until the wall came down. It was just a simple mistake. People get twisted talking all the time.

smilez.. thats a good excuse.. keep thinking them up.. I wonder...Will you be making excuses for him when he loses the popular vote in every state? here.. I'll make one up for him and I promise it will no doubt be the most intelligent excuse you will ever hear concerning him. " McCain --I have decided to drop out now and concede to all the others running in my party for the best interest of our country"..ya.. I know, that isn't an excuse for losing a vote but more over for something he should do. Now thats a valid excuse for a hopeful action that actually would be productive. Productive to himself as well as his party.. He really should do the rest of your party justice and help them out by saying enough is enough.. Narrowing the playing field for the other republicans... but.. ok.. I will stop now.. your right..I know what your thinking... who else would be better on the republican side.. lol..

That's a rather BOLD question as well as a brave one I think..It's a question you can ask to someone that can't see past there nose and has no clue..so that way the answer wont hurt to much.. Unfortunately, for you I do know what I'm saying.. so I hope this doesn't hurt you to much.. so, I'd just have to say... in answer to your question...she has 8 more years experience in the white house then McCain does just in being the first lady and If your trying to base the fact that he was in the armed forces and a war, and that would make him a better candidate concerning Military and Foreign Policy.. then whats your excuse for Bush's mis - handled war efforts as well as the lies he told to invade a country for oil and oil alone, which in turn hurt our country. I'm so sick of hearing about Foreign Policy.. what about America's Policy/Economy??? Bush pretending all along that weapons of mass destruction and 911 was the main factor for invading Iraq. How's that for Foreign Policy and Military Strategy..After both of his excuses were proved to be false.. Your lucky if your retired now and not under his command.. If you was maybe you would think differently but.. I doubt it. I see your a Lawyer so being concerned about the poor or even middle class is no doubt not an issue for you at all. also, like most republicans.. the general concern of our own is always second on the list of things to do!!!!!!!! In closing.. Hillary has more qualifications for the presidency then any other person running and if you want a reason why?.. simply put.. she is married to one of the best presidents this country has ever seen!!!!

[K-D-K-D-K]

Americas economy at home always depends on foreign policy. There are always options to the poor. They can get out and get jobs or if they are the right age they can sign up for the military and get a career. There are always options. I ask you again and please give specifics. What policies has Hillary voted on to benefit the country domestically since the Democrats have been in charge of the Congress. Also as first lady why did her healthcare plan get rejected by the masses? Why did Clinton let our satellite and missile technologies from Los Alamos get into communist Chinas hands which they have used now to achieve spaceflight?

Americas economy starts at home and ends at home as we are the ones that are affected, not foreign soil..I will agree that Foreign policy effects our economy. Maybe thats where we should look to change then. I will argue that there are very few options for the poor. Try having no family.. none at all.. being alone and being physically disabled for 4 years, worked all your life and now asking the country you help build, for help back in the means of ss disability.. yes.. 4 years is how long i been waiting for help and I was also denied the first time.. ( Im told its corporate red-tape - you must know about that )? Because thats how flawed and back logged the system is...Luckily I have some family yet.. which allows me to still have a roof over my head..everything else is me, including 12 bolts in my back and multiple plates and rods as well as rebuilt bone in my spine. gee, .. I wonder why I see things a little shady now in life? ..anyways, jobs are not so easy to get anymore.. at least in Ohio and as far as the military.. well. Im to old for that but still wouldn't matter.. if I was young enough.. I assure you it would be a last resort and only if I was starving.. sorry.. its just not the American way anymore and thats why there has been such a huge decline in the enrollment into the military now...as far as specifics I thought I gave you them.. I Guess ya cant read the lines or between them.. you do sound like military but are you sure your a Lawyer? Voting on policies is nothing that can be considered a major feat as its a party effort and not an individual effort. As far as her health plan being rejected by the masses by no means says there was anything wrong with it.. it's apparent she wishes to try and help the poor and middle class people of our country with a national health plan and I applaud her for that.. you ask...."""Why did Clinton let our satellite and missile technologies from Los Alamos get into communist Chinas hands which they have used now to achieve spaceflight?""" ( Space Flight = another waste of money ) Um duh.. whats wrong with that?.. do you think we gained nothing from that?. we gained alot more by not giving them the info. Don't you know it was us or another country.. Would you rather they learn from the soviets or Iran. thats Foreign Policy isn't it?.. hmmm.. let's see.. I guess we could go back and forth all day couldn't we.. ok..how about all the chemicals and knowhow .. and blue prints to make them as well as money your republican heroes gave to Saddam back in the 80's? going back and forth is nonsense.. thats why I'm done here.. I wont argue with anyone anymore.. whats all this mean.. simple pal.. simple.. we need that kind of administration out of there.. Whats Hillary done.. she has made attempts and she cares...

[lily]

..When I hear him address how he is willing to help our country with over taxing and job loss due to illegal aliens and overseas contracts ( first and foremost )

Oh, baloney....he lost Michigan because he came here and told it like it was....the jobs aren't coming back, you need training for different jobs. Romney came in and said...hey, I'll get the jobs back in Michigan for you! Now that sir, is a liar.

I have a question.. why do you feel he has the knowledgeable mind concerning military tactics?.. because he was a pow?.

I'm not sure......Admiral sounds pretty impressive to me. Also, when I stop and think about it, with two sons serving in Iraq he just might be concerned about their saftey and the soldiers around them.

naw.. I'm not impressed.. .. Admiral only because he was a p.o.w..he didn't earn it in my book. it's not because he did anything special.. He certainly didn't earn Admiral on his intelligence.. lol.. thats been proved by himself just in his speeches alone... as far as his boys serving in Iraq.. He may be concerned about them.. if he is a decent parent.. he should worry..but I doubt the boys had a choice in what they wanted in life. them boys have had to eat, sleep, and you-no-what military all there life because of daddy and when u can do nothing else in the world.. you go to the armed forces.. so lets all clap for the McCains.. blehhhhh

You asked......I answered........both his title and his sons serving is more than this president can say for himself..........so it's a step up.

I totally agree with you there.. lol.. no arguements whatsoever.... I think I would vote for Satan before facing another year with the current pres.. ~Pats lily on the back~ Huggz

[Amazed]

So if we look at this from on objective viewpoint:


1) If you really think John McCain thought the president of Germany is Putin, you probably aren't really in a condition to be trusted with the right to vote.

2) If you are claiming you believe it knowing its not true, you are epitomizing the reason dirty politics work, and honest candidates are put at a disadvantage.

Wow dude... first of all, he wasn't an admiral, he was a captain. I normally think that the tired line of learning what you are talking about before opening your mouth on the subject is just rhetoric and goes without saying, but in this case, if your understanding and grasp of military tactics doesn't extend beyond a chessboard, what consequence could your being impressed possibly have on anything?

Second of all, I'd say that if his reward for his suffering and conduct as a POW was an admiralty, he was grossly underpaid. I would venture to say that no one (in this country at least) has been through the kind of suffering those POWs went through and as such couldn't possibly understand its extent. (why do I get the feeling I will be having to hammer that home more than once around here?). However, I would concede that if that was the case, it might not warrant any particular knowledge of 'military tactics'. However, he did earn his way as becoming a captain especially under the circumstances is not an easy thing to accomplish, and requires smarts, but quite a bit more.

If you want some specifics outside of that, i'll copy from another post:

Question might be who is or maybe even has ever been more qualified?




As far as your very selfish, offensive, and narrow minded statement about military families go, I don't think I have to expound on what a ridiculous generalization that was. However, it should be noted that he has several children that are not in the military. As far as his parenting, there is no evidence that he is anything but a good parent. He adopted a Bangladeshi orphan with a cleft palette and provided her medical care. While that doesn't necessarily prove he is a wonderful parent, you would be hard pressed to find much better evidence.



All in all, I'm sure you read this with mind set and eyes closed, but someone else might find it interesting.
