McCain treating Obama like a used tissue during the debates.
How can this behavior not be acceptable between two teenagers on the debate team but A'OK for the future president from the United States?
Jerk.
Jerk.
Last night I noticed that as I got more inebriated (and hence, more stupid) McCain started making more sense.
I can't vote, but I'm gently attempting to persuade every registered US citizen I know to vote Obama.

McCain refused to look at Obama during the debate, or indeed speak as if Obama was even in the room. It's an aspect of the debate that's received more analysis than I think it warrants, but it apparently stood out for a lot of people.

Personally, I think it was a tactic to keep McCain from losing his temper on stage.

I watched part of the debate, and his mouth kept working like he was either trying to keep up a smile or he was fighting back laughter, or something weird.angelfromanotherpin wrote:McCain refused to look at Obama during the debate, or indeed speak as if Obama was even in the room.

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

I saw half an hour of it.
It was painful to witness when McCain's turn came about. Obama tore him a new one on the mention of war veterans being neglected, with the old bastard having no ground to stand on as a rich fucker above and beyond the plight of that very same "experienced veteran" status he's cashing in on... yet he continues to roll on with the same bull he's been pushing for the entire GOP campaign. Ah, that's nothing important, just got to me after a while...
Watch McCain's mouth as he speaks. His bottom teeth show constantly while his facial region between upper lip and eye don't move. It's fucking creepy.
I'd never vote for a man that talks like a bulldog chewing peanut butter.
At the end when they shake hands Obama's lips are pursed and eyes squinting right as they make contact.
I have never seen him make that expression. Ever.
That does not bode well.
The lack of eye contact didn't bother me; there's far more important criteria to weigh a candidate on. It's seriously a non-issue and no one should be judged by that, but that's how this country goes.

The Worm is far too high-tech for us Americans.
Think about it. The GOP candidate doesn't even use email, and this is a guy that will potentially be directing our nation.

Personally I hate the idea of polls and things like the worm. How exactly is it relevant to how I make my decision about the future of my government to know what other citizens are thing as a numerical value. I think it feeds to a group-think mentality where people will make decisions based on what the majority is thinking rather than using their brains themselves.
I'd personally ban the publication of any polls, heck, I would ban them being conducted.
People should listen make their decisions and cast their votes.
Politicians should formulate the ideas the believe are sound and present them.

The internet gave a voice to the world thus gave definitive proof that the world is mostly full of idiots.

Specifically, he can't raise them past a certain point, which makes using a mouse and a keyboard problematic.

I'm sorry, that's why we have a ADA laws. I feel bad that he has a disability but when we have a system of governance in place that is used for everything from flying his ass from here to Timbuktu, he can use it to learn how to use a god-damned computer. There are software and hardware applications that could probably have been offered to him through the ADA laws that would have made it much easier on him.Maxus wrote:Well, to be fair, I under that McCain hasn't ever learned to work a computer due to difficulties with his upper arms and shoulders.sigma999 wrote:The Worm is far too high-tech for us Americans.

Let me put it this way: blind people and quadriplegics can and do use computers. You're telling me John McCain is too injured to use one? Bullshit.
He did use a telephone constantly. He's from an era when not everyone learned how to type, and typing isn't comfortable for him. I'll give him that, I don't care if he personally knows how to type.
Not knowing the mechanics of technology as a leader upsets me far more.
And being willing to lie so much to get elected, abandoning all of your own issues seems disingenuous at best. Perhaps that's why he can no longer look at his opponent.

My hate-generating WAG is that he couldn't look at the darkie on the stage who managed to steal his celebrity and chip at his image.Perhaps that's why he can no longer look at his opponent.

The dude's terrified of The Internet. Maybe he thinks it's like the Skynet from the Terminator series.
Probably thinks opening a virus from email will make you sick, and the Internet itself is a computer somewhere in a government building; if there's something wrong a tech crew goes down to the basement and fixes it.

Palin vs. Biden debate on Thursday, October 2!
I'll have a beer and pretzels at hand, leaning eagerly on the edge of my seat for the moment Mrs. Sarah "It's OK For My Teen Daughter To Get Pregnant But It's A Sin For Yours" Palin opens her mouth.
Expect many blunders, flusters, and stutters as she chokes on the predigested information like an over-rehearsed Miss America contestant.
Hilarity ensues.

lol at McCain sneering at the health of mothers. Double lol at McCain specifically dissing funding for special needs children and then trying to pimp them again to score political points not 30 minutes later.
That's pretty much all I or anyone needs to know about the repulsive Republican agenda. I mean, fucking Jesus, the whole 'they only care about the fetus until it's born' thing is supposed to be a meanspirited joke, not an accurate depiction.

Oh, yeah, he also did finger quotes at 'health'.OBAMA: We can find some common ground, because nobody's pro-abortion. I think it's always a tragic situation. We should try to reduce these circumstances.
SCHIEFFER: Let's give Sen. McCain a short response...
McCAIN: Just again...
SCHIEFFER: ... and then...
McCAIN: Just again, the example of the eloquence of Sen. Obama. He's "health for the mother." You know, that's been stretched by the pro-abortion movement in America to mean almost anything. That's the extreme pro-abortion position, quote, "health."
Fucking dick.

Senator Obama sounded really good in the debates last night. He would've won my vote if he wasn't an anti-gun sonofabitch who sided with the party of big-government small-freedom bastards.

Do I need to get out the campaign paper that point out that Obama supported the Supreme Court decision recently, and has never voted to curtail gun rights?
