Jethro, I just got back from a holiday, have loads of pictures, and am struggling to organize them into the proper folders, etc....because friends are clamoring for them!!!

I just bought a new laptop, for the trip....it has Windows....whatever, it's VISTA Premium....I think....I just figured out XP....so, when I 'right-click' I don't get the same 'Send To' option.....ARGGGGHHH!!!!!!

Did notice as I downloaded my camera media cards....I've got MANY, MANY dupes.....big surprise.

So, at barely 51, I can use a computer....even if barely. BUT, I can learn.

I learned how to fly very sophisticated, computerized airplanes.....BECAUSE we had very good training. Maybe McCain needs a tutor???

A Junior Senator, as Obama, is allowed to 'AUTHOR' legislation'??

No, I think a fairly new Senator will sit in committee, and 'co-author' new legislation.

Based on this argument, a Governor from the State of Texas, never having served in any other post in the Congress, should not be qualified to be a 'President'.

EXCEPT, a Governor of Arkansas WAS President...duly elected....sorry to say, he had a pecadillo, and lost some credibility.

But, a Vietnam War Draft Dodger, who had the fortune of being named after a former President, was actually installed into the WH, for the last eight years.

So, which is worse? A dog who cheats on his wife, or a dog who cheats on his country?

I leave it up to you all to decide.

AND, I leave this one more innuendo....McCain may have been a 'songbird' whilst a POW. That could be a terrible bias, and time will tell if they are true.

BUT, how will this compare to what Barack Husein Obama (yes, I used his entire name....just I will use John Sidney McCain the Third's full name)

40 years ago, while a POW....in order to protect himself, or his fellow prisoners....we need to examine this. DID he do what he did, to protect his fellow countrymen, and fellow prisoners? WAS he used, by the VC, because of his status as an Admiral's son, for propaganda purposes?

A story has surfaced, that, as an Admiral's son, McCain was offered the chance to be sent home, to US forces. NOW, imagine you are in this position....you take that offer, and are labeled a 'coward' for all time.....your career in the Navy and Politics, immediately over.

You're a son of an Admiral, the grandson of an Admiral.....you feel it's your duty. OK, I get that!!! It is a valiant thing to do....

BUT, it was FORTY YEARS AGO!!!

Yes, it was heroic. But, how does it relate to today????

Here's a perspective....Captain Picard knew when to retire.....If I may use a Star Trek reference....

I see McCain as the 'Admiral Kirk'.....thinking he can still do it, but ultimatly realizing, he's passed his prime.

EXCEPT, of course, McCain hasn't yet realized it.....

In the Fantasy/ Science Fiction of 'Star Trek', of course we see many characters, all of whom are familiar with computer tech....yet, they still need to seek an expert, at times. Since No one can be the know-it-all.....

Hence, we have 'Scotty'....or 'Data'....or whatever 'character' is invented, to entertain.

BUT, this is real life. NOT a TV show.

If you wish to bank on McCain, and hope he can 'spin-up' to the challenges that he will be exposed to, within just two months, then by ALL MEANS vote for him!!!

I happen to think that a younger man will be able to 'spin-up' much easier, once voted as the 'POTUS elect'. From November 5, 2008 to Inauguration Day, January 20.....that is a long time, for the POTUS elect to get briefed. Just hoping the NEW POTUS gets thoroughly briefed, and not mis-led.

Don't mean squat

I doubt any previous pres. knows how to mow a lawn or knows
how much a litre of milk costs. You just surround yourself with
people that do, but the more people you are surrounded by
means you have less integrity. George must have whole Platoon.

The key to being a successful pres. is Integrity. You have to be
sincere, honest and actually believe what you are telling people.
George fails all of these, so how,why did he get re-elected that's
what I wanna know.

I'd personally feel a little more comfortable with a person at the 'helm' who had a certain understanding of the basics, of how computers, and the Internet, work.

Don't know about you....but, of course, I'm typing ON THE internet to someone WHO KNOWS HOW to use the Intenet....Hmmmmmm....

Get the irony yet??????

So?
And neither did George Washington.

Its not that he cant operate a computer.

The computer is not the point. Its the fact that he's not "with it" that is being argued, adn the computer instance is proof to back that.

If he cannot and will not learn to use something as simple, modern, and easy as a computer, economics, and racial equality

then why is he qualified to be POTUS?

Not with it?


I think then this is another of prime example of The Quadrennial Exploitation Of The Moronic Masses

There is no need for a President to know how to use a computer. It shows McCain's age by the fact that he doesn't know the difference between a Mac and a PC and says he let's his wife do the computer stuff.

She's only knows how to get perscriptions from Mexico for her dope!!!! The rest of the time she's probably too high!!!

He might not to be able to run a computer, but I believe that piloting a combat aircraft requires a little more skill than that.

Well....not exactly...

McCain III lost jet number one in 1958 when he plunged into Corpus Christi Bay while practicing landings. He was knocked unconscious by the impact coming to as the plane settled to the bottom.

McCain's second crash occurred while he was deployed in the Mediterranean. "Flying too low over the Iberian Peninsula," Timberg wrote, "he took out some power lines [reminiscent of the 1998 incident in which a Marine Corps jet sliced through the cables of a gondola at an Italian ski resort, killing 20] which led to a spate of newspaper stories in which he was predictably identified as the son of an admiral."

McCain's third crash three occurred when he was returning from flying a Navy trainer solo to Philadelphia for an Army-Navy football game.

Timberg reported that McCain radioed, "I've got a flameout" and went through standard relight procedures three times before ejecting at one thousand feet. McCain landed on a deserted beach moments before the plane slammed into a clump of trees.

McCain's fourth aircraft loss occurred July 29, 1967, soon after he was assigned to the USS Forrestal as an A-4 Skyhawk pilot. While seated in the cockpit of his aircraft waiting his turn for takeoff, an accidently fired rocket slammed into McCain's plane. He escaped from the burning aircraft, but the explosions that followed killed 134 sailors, destroyed at least 20 aircraft, and threatened to sink the ship.

McCain's fifth loss happened during his 23rd mission over North Vietnam on Oct. 26, 1967, when McCain's A-4 Skyhawk was shot down by a surface-to-air missile. McCain ejected from the plane breaking both arms and a leg in the process and subsequently parachuted into Truc Bach Lake near Hanoi.

And you guys thought the "swift-boating" of Kerry was easy....

Nice rant (I mean that sincerely). What I meant by saying Obama hadn't authored a decent piece of legislature was that he hadn't contributed significantly to any major bills. I suppose that's subjective though, so since that's not the topic I'll drop it.


Do you really think the President's job entails a lot of surfing the internet, making spreadsheets, and typing up stuff in Word? I'm not expressing my support for anyone with this. This is unfair, petty, pointless bashing. Who cares if the man can't use a computer? Can he interact with foreign dignitaries without humiliating us? Can he find a balance of force without being too heavy handed or too hands off? Can he be charismatic enough to lead the country in times of need?

That's the stuff I want to know about any candidate. I could care less if McCain has ever even touched a computer.

As for McCain being a songbird, until there's definitive proof and we know what he told and the effect of the information he gave, it's not an issue.

I'm not in this thread to debate who is the best candidate. My point is that McCain's ability to use a computer should not influence your vote.
