Ok I said this same thing to the people who created a post about McCain calling Obama "That One". We have become way too oversensitive. Even if they said it because he lurches, so what? This is ridiculous. He is a big boy. He can handle it. We have so many issues in this country to be concerned about and whether some one calls someone "That one" or one insinuates in "coded language" that someone lurches really doesnt mean anything. I just want to vomit from all the whining. Mommmmyyyyy, Billy called me a name. Lets grow up around here. Now if he calls McCain a baby killer or a kkk member or something then I could see getting upset.

Well if you really want to, you can claim that ANY verb used to describe something in motion, was "code language" used to mock Senator McCain. Like "flip-flop" (McCain's own favorite).

I don't buy this one, sorry.

"You betcha !" The idea is to make McCain look like a bumbling old man too old for the job. But it won't fly because everyone knows why he can't raise his hands or walk straight. Seems it's hard to do after being beaten and tortured for five years in a prisoner of war camp.

No, the idea is to make McCain look like a bumbling old man who doesn't have solid ideas on which to found his presidency. I personally couldn't care less if he was handicapped just like FDR. It's his political stance that is appalling.

This is probably intended to coincide with ads saying that McCain is going to die in offcie if elected. It's sickening.

Can you refer us to this ad?

In reality, according to actuarial tables, there is 25% chance that Senator McCain will pass on during his projected term in the office. For me personally, too much of a risk for this country, especially that we'll have to fall back on scarce skills of a hockey moose hunter mom.

I agree that we shouldn't let side issues cloud the real issues like the economy, Iraq and Al Queda. However, using the term lurch to describe McCain is very bad taste and we should pay attention to how the canidates act toward one another. He was tortured and that is the reason he walks the way he does, that should not be used to describe the way he handles himself politically. Stuff like that shows the character of the person making the comment. A canidates character should go hand in hand with his stance on the issues.

Could you give me some appalling McCain stances that are not Obama talking points but are from your thoughts? I'd like to know..

I will (and partially did) in threads that were specifically created to discuss candidates' views.

For one, that McCain doesn't want to sit down with officials from Spain speaks volumes. That's just sheer lunacy, for gossake. But like I said, let's keep it in other threads.

And Obama wants to sit down with the president of Iran without preconditions which is beyond lunacy. Which do you think is worse?

The first. Spain is a NATO member and better relations with it help the US. In case of a meeting, the worst that Iranians can do is nothing - and that would cement the support for further action among the US allies. But that dummy McCain doesn't get it.

Yea the Iranians can't do anything and the clouds are really made of fluffy marshmellows. Given the chance the Iranians would develop nuclear weapons and their first move would be to follow up on their threat to bomb Isreal. Their second move would be to bomb the US. But that dummy Obama doesn't get that now does he? Obama wants to play nice and sit down and have tea and cookies with them. If these are the two we have to choose from then I'm for the one who will ignore an ally and get tough on a very dangerous man. Rather then one who wants to play nice with everyone despite their past................geez that sounds just like what he did with Ayers doesn't it?

Obama doctrine- I don't care if you are a terroist or made comments that can make you seem like a terroist, I will meet with you as long as you promise to play nice.
