I would've voted for him because my candidate seems to be out of the running now. That is if I vote at all.

so what was the forboding feeling?

Well lets see I think he talks funny, like we need another president that hasn't mastered the English language.

I think he looks funny, whats up with his big cheeks? His arms don't appear to be the right proportion to the rest of his body. I don't know maybe it's just me.

I think he even moves funny.

But to me he isn't funny at all. He seems scary to me.

I dont trust anyone who wants to be President.

Apart from Bill Clinton, you knew what he was after!

Skin cancer surgery on his face 8 years ago went deep.
This has puffed up his skin.

He broke both arms during the Vietnam war. His captors refused to give him surgery that he needed on his broken arms.

I think he even moves funny.

His captors did surgery on a broken leg of his while he was a POW in Vietnam. They severely screwed up the surgery. They cut all his muscles, etc etc


He got all these injuries while serving America and while undergoing extreme torture at the hands of the enemy.

The skin cancer he got because he lives in Arizona - which has the highest skin cancer rate in America.

Satisfied?

The old guy was in a vietnamese concentration camp for five years! of course his body is messed up. Can you imagine the hell they put him through? I am surprised he has lived this long.

I (and most of conservatives) have a bad feeling about McCain also.

I hope nothing happens to him because I decided yesterday that I would be voting for him if (because) Obama is the Democratic nominee. Of course my vote won't be for McCain as much as it will be against Obama.

Yes, that was classy. Make fun of the man's physical issues. He's a Vietnam vet and POW who was tortured. Sometimes I could just scream at the insensitivity of some people.

Yes, you should be very afraid, because McCain is nothing more than another Bush with a different face.

Nah, McCain leans waaaay too far to the left to be anything like Bushy. He doesn't just reach across the aisle he skips over there and hands out party favors...hangs out tells jokes kisses butts and grudgingly limps back to the right again.

It seems like that's 3 battles won for McCain and a beautiful zed for Obama. To me, Obama has nothing to prove he can be a good prez other than a wacked out opinion and a price tag. Clinton (if she wins) is even worse, and we all know what benefit another Clinton would do, it would change our president from a prez who fights wars for oil to a prez who pulls out early with no logic on retribution.

To me, mccain is FAMILIAR with war. He's lived it, breathed it, fought it. He's not like Bush, Bush sat at some no name base in Texas during wars, McCain was where he wax useful. And worse for clinton and obama, they were probably workin their job rather than servin time in the military.

McCain is the PERFECT guy to get us out of the war WITH OUR NAME IN TACT (like BUsh hasn't severed that completely yet). And i pray that Romney is his vp so he can have a hand at fixing our economy. Another thing the bush team severed.

Could someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE explain to me, give me a list of reason or a even a link as to why/how either dem is better than mccain?

I swear, how old are you? You are starting to remind me of Cindy Sheehan, like a dog with a bone. Let it go.

Well I think they all blow and we are all screwed (can I say that word?)

Im not even registered, why do all you folks that come here to ATS and know what a joke it all is, care who is running, none of them will do anything good. Just my opinion.

Older than you, I'm sure.

Not a freak'n chance.

BTW .. Your protests of my posts are starting to sound like Cindy Sheehan.

Like I ever mentioned obama???

Ok so I now know why he looks the way and moves the way he does, Now does all of this Explain why he Thinks the Way he does, and you think he would make a Good President???

You don't think he is as mentally damaged as he is physically??

....I believe that I am going to agree with the person who said that we are all royally %^&$ed! It does not matter who you vote for; it will end in the same manner regardless of who is President.

President-noun: Person who appears to be in charge of a country or nation, but is really no better than a puppet on a stick for greedy, corporate warlords that work from behind the scenes.
2-Pusher for the Federal Reserve Bank and its agenda
3-a dirty, rotten piece of &%$#

Also, LEARN TO TYPE IN COMPLETE ENGLISH!

Unfortunately, this thread is a perfect representation of what has happened to the political dialogue in this country. We insult, we ridicule, hang labels on people, make incredibly stupid accusations without any substance. We distort positions, we distort issues, we make preposterous comparisons and generally carry on like 4th graders.

It didn't used to be this way. Back in the 1970s, before the TV news channels and all the radio pundits, we had a sane, level-headed discussions of the issues and where we should be headed. Everything was discussed on the basis of what was real, on the basis of having substantive reasons for what you say. It was boring to the average knuckle-dragger, who was generally not interested.

And no, I'm sorry, "McCain scares me" and "Obama is so ugly he made an onion cry" (which is a joke I heard over 30 years ago) is not substance.

That's the problem. We've tried to turn the national political discussion into entertainment, which is not what it should be. Unfortunately, when you start name-calling, ridiculing, distorting, getting all whupped up about anyone who has a different opinion than you and turning politics into melodrama it appeals to people with limited intellects who can't really understand most of the issues anyway. And there are a lot of them so it means big ratings, more books sold, etc.

And I know it won't change. That's the depressing part for somebody who really loves his country like me.
