If you are in debt you are a prisoner, you are a slave to your debtor.

Americans are the most indebted people on the globe.

i agree, we are prisoners.

I agree that this was an honest mistake. I am not holding this against McCain in any way. I am sure he was mixing it up with other thoughts. And by that I am not saying he has PTSD.

I just think it's a funny slip because it's just so Freudian

Everyday speech is not pertinent.

This wasn't an everyday speech.

Does McCain use the word 'prisoner' in anyone of his speeches? Yes he does.

Was this an honest mistake? Yeah probably. He want's to get elected dude. Be logical about this.

I think it's a hilarious slip, because I believe we are prisoners to our system. I also think having McCain as President will only further our enslavement! However, this was a mistake. Again, he is trying to get elected...

Okay, it's off-topic, but that was pretty funny. Kinda schoolboy thing to do, 'though.

Still, it was the "Obama flips off Hilary" video that got me. Never seen that one before. I'm amazed that I hadn't seen it or heard of it. It's the clear evidence that Obama is the biggest hypocrite in the race that all the anti-Obamas were looking for.

"Change you can believe in", "not a Washington insider", "no negative campaigning"...Yeah, right. It's nice to be able to describe all the negative actions of your opponent without actually detailing what they were, simply insinuating instead. Why, you can be negative about their negativity without anyone calling you negative... what a NEAT strategy.

You know, from your Avatar I'm going to take a leap as assume you're a McCain supporter, I am most certainly not. But go you and your views 100%.

I've read this thread and it actually makes me happy that I have agreed with 3 out 4 of your responses. I'm a little iffy on supporting military troops no matter what, but that has nothing do with serving your country it has more to do with personal character outside of that. I tend to look person-to-person.

That being said! I definately think that his head was in the place of "Where might I be able to fit in a war-hero point? Is this the time for ad-libbing?(if it wasnt written in the speech) Is this the right crowd for that moment? Will it help me, hurt me, or not make a difference? With all those questions in mind I can see where making a verbal POW slip-up is likely. That's assuming those were in mind, and given his speech record I don't doubt that at least 1 of those were in mind.

I'm VERY much against McCain, but I can sympathize with what seems like a very human moment.





But I can also see where it can be a very frightening remark if I'm wrong...
