There’s no question — Obama objectively did extremely well with Warren in the first hour. He was at ease, confident, and no questions caught him off guard. He stood firm on the Iraq war and other issues like torture, but the shocker was that he said he wouldn’t have nominated Clarence Thomas—and got applause for that remark.
McSame, who was no doubt listening, looked nervous when he came out. We’ll see how he does now.

Betrayus? WTF?
McSame, asked who he listens to on the big stuff, first names David Petraeus.
Gets applause.
Oh, crap… there he goes with all the people “making a living off E-Bay.”
He stumbles out the gates…!
did mcsame forget to install a personality again?
He’s doing his “my friends” tic…
”What’s been your greatest moral failure? And what’s been the greatest moral failure of America?”
McSame: My greatest moral failing is the failure of my first marriage. America’s has been, throughout our existence, perhaps we have not devoted ourselves, to causes to greater than our self-interest.
Slams Bush ”go shoppping” thing after 9/11.
Now I know I’ve died and gone to hell. The wingnuts are in charge in ways that even my cynical outlook could not compredend. All is lost.
Mc: Greatest moral failures personally: 1st marriage.
nationally: “After, 911, my friends…”
Nuff said
I am glad I am not watching the whole thing. I see he’s throwing Commander Codpiece under the bus though. Talk about a serious pander.
The “serve a cause greater than your self interest” thing is a good frame for the neocons.
*gasp* He did mention his first marriage’s failure as his biggest moral failure…! Not the fact he cheated…
never would have picked mccain for a chumbawamba fan
epu’d — Thanks Teddy. Thanks RevBev.
My body is healing up and my brain is mostly focused but still a bit foggy.
For those looking for Sundowner’s Syndrome, McCane seems on his mark tonight.
“I was not elected Miss Congeniality in the US Senate….”
Mentions torture as something where he put country first, over party.
Applause-whoring for Reagan.
I’m sorry… I simply cannot watch him, at least not with the sound on. Oh, fuck, there he goes fellating Reagan’s corpse…
And we get the first Reagan pander. Applause.
Is this his only event today? McCain usually takes weekends off(Which the TradMed never mentions). I am sure he took a few naps today just to keep himself fresh.
After the Reagan pander, he mentions that he went against the party and RR on Beirut, and lookie — 287 Marines dead.
McCane had done an awesome job at memorizing his talking points and applause lines.
You’re so much more polite than I! And with the offshore drilling thing I’m back to the Olympics.
Torture? Seriously? When despite his bluster, he voted to legalize it? WTF??
Drill here and now…?
lots of applause for offshore drilling?
heh. I got “Left Behind” downstairs….
McSame says the thing he wrong about 20 years ago that he’s changed his mind on his offshore drilling.
“We’ve gotta drill here and we’ve gotta drill now.”
Applause.
WTF.
How easy was that to answer OFF SHORE Drilling what an ass… terra terra… the wealth is going to the rich oilmen!
he lies well
Leaps on “offshore drilling” and makes fun of our governor’s accent, as something he’s changed his mind on. Drill here, drill now!
Wow, oil derricks on the Saddleback Store/Church Stage! Pleasant image, Pastor Rick?
Uh, nuclear power seems very popular with evangelicals.
He got the questions ahead of time. He is more prepared with quick answers than he should be.
“We love to imitate the French”
wtf?
“If the French can do it, so can we.”
As if DeGaulle wasn’t pro-American when he led the Free French.
What an idiot McCain is.
of course. He’s talking to an audience that drives gas guzzlers long distances daily.
Oh my doG!
Did you know McCain was a POW?
McCAIN’s was a POW!!!! ZMOG
McSame is bragging about his POW bravery now.
I may throw up.
most gut-wrenching decision?
“Have I mentioned yet that I was a POW?”
shudder. shudder.
OK Digg this post! Here it comes “I am a War Hero”
Are the Qs planted to showcase McCane, or is that my imagination?
Don’t answer that. Switching channels.
yes, imitate the french prez. who had an affair, divorced and then rapidly re-married. He gets that.
Something you will NEVER hear him mention when campaigning.
Naw because the Wingnuts are incompetent in ways I never dreamed Bush would still be fighting in Iraq years later after the invasion.
I never dreamed Bush would forget about Ossama and leave him for Obama. I never dreamed that New Orleans would still not be fixed and that 9/11 workers would still be waiting for insurance.
He just blew that.
He clumsily added, “It took a lot of prayer”, tacked on the end, like an afterthought.
But I won’t use that as a campaign issue. No, not me.
I see a bunch of trained seals clapping for McLame.
You get a prize of some sort — you stuck it out longer than I did.
I swear that he wasn’t in a cone of silence…!
He was a POW????
Then I’m voting for him.
McSame sounds as if he was given a list of the questions and rehearsed his answers.
NOTE: I won the bet in our house – He mentioned being a POW less than 10 minutes into the conversation.
Cool! we need a list of McCain’s various possible medical problems he seems to be getting worse.
Aqua-Velva ad on here!
I wonder if Chris Matthews is getting that tingling up his leg Olbermann hates.
A POW? this changes everything!
He sounds likes he has more energy than I ever had imagined. Wide awake.
First commercial break.
McSame is doing fine, but the audience seems eager for him to do well. He looks a little tired and seems scripted.
Long way to go, but it will be hard for him to really win the night.
and he was tortured, dontcha know and he hates torture! Fights against it all the time . . . . oops.
I refuse to believe that McLame didn’t listen AND get the questions ahead of time. He is entirely too much on point.
Dammit, I’m late to the party. ;-)
McCain’s #1 guy would be Petraeus? And he mentions his wife Carol too? Wow! This is going brilliantly. LOL
Yeah, sounds like he’s been prepped to say certain phrases, get them him, whether they fit or not. The canned speech on energy, the reference to Sarkozy.
But your point is valid only if the US voters think OBL is important. They obviously don’t.
I’m supposed to call the dr if I start feeling a tingling in my legs.
I hope everyone’s taking BT’s lead and drinking heavily.
I think he was on his cell phone talking to Rove during Obama’s turn so he would know what the questions are.
Johnny loves torture today as long as the CIA is doing it. Again, brilliant!
He was in a cone of silence but REv. Rick failed to mention he provided him with a copy of the questions two weeks ago.
Why does this creepy pastor get to be on a first-name basis with these guys?
Until you build one in their state.
uppers. Or they lowered the dosage of his tranqs. Gotta keep that temper in line ya know.
I liked where Rick Warren offers that McCain never flipflopped…it’s just WISDOM.
What a fuckface.
I don’t remember Barack being asked about how faith carries him through the day. Anyone else remember that question being asked of him?
Oh, good, another story, on POW.
pow pow pow//////
Uh wow. McSame, answering what his faith means to him, says “I’m saved and forgiven.”
He then awkwardly goes BACK to Vietnam, and being tortured.
I’m stunned.
Oh boy, more cowboy-POW stories! Spit.
Is every question going to lead to a torture-POW question?
Now he’s giving some lovely 24-type details to please the base.
He is describing his torture experiences. What was the question?
oh ferchrissakes – he’s talking about his POW-ness AGAIN!!!
When Is pastor rick going to ask about McSame calling Cindy a c**t?
*Edited
Yes. Same question.
cuz he’s a powerful man. Just ask him.
I hope he spends the rest of the time talking about his POW experiences. What an empty suit!
He’s certainly touting his POW ‘credentials’… Hello…? As if!
Yes. This has been another installment of…
OK, this story is taking way too long. And it’s the “cross” story we’ve heard again and again.
But it does get applause.
Empty suits who are elitists only talk about themselves and only have one story to share on the subject.
This POW story is part of his stump speech, and Warren lets him go on.
eww.
just putting “French” and “McCain” in the same thought made my tongue leave my body.
I gotta go find brain bleach.
I wonder if there’s a POW angle to the abortion question
Rick Warren calls abortion “a holocaust.”
McSame gets big applause for saying life starts “at conception.”
What was Johnny doing at the moment of conception? Planning college? Let’s ask him:
*pointing microphone to his lips*
*crickets chirping*
then the ad…”The ORIGINAL Maverick”…
(I thought James Garner was the Original Maverick)…I’ve turned to the Olympics
I do not recall Pastor Rick using the word “holocaust” when speaking of the forty million dead babies since Roe, with Obama.
evidently my teevee is slower than everybody else’s. I’ve noticed this before.
‘Course, this *is* Indiana. News takes a little longer to get here….
I’ll say this about Warren – he’s asking the very same questions- – word for word.
of course he was going to use that story here. It was made for this audience and he knows it.
Where was the answer to the question…? The POW story is not an answer…!
Johnny study the Right Wing Textbook before hand! LOL
KO hates one of Tweetie’s legs?
He is too damn old for the job.
At this rate, he should be done about twenty minutes early.
Warren seems to be going off script with McSame. Asks him about California’s Prop 8.
Did he ask this of Obama?
Did Obama get asked about Prop Eight?
OK ladies McPain wants control of your body and our gay and lesbian friends are second class citizens…
He is a Federalist… all the more to never vote for this fool!
When asked about when life begins, Johnny valiantly answered:
“When I was taken prisoner in Vietnam”
I missed the first part of Obama’s interrogation, so my question is, are the same questions being asked of each candidate?
So it’s OK until you don’t agree?
Nope. Don’t remember it. Though, Warren would have to prompt Johnny on the questions because Warren knows Johnny has an IQ of 12.
Pastor talking about the scientific breakthrough in stem cells.
I don’t think so. Warren seems to be slightly modifying the script.
OBVIOUSLY, he’s not asking the same questions of both of them.
perhaps cause mccain’s the only candidate who remembers wwII
Did he mention Georgia yet?
I seem to have spoken too soon.
The French Nuke program is standardized and regulated by the government to a degree that explains their safety record however when you need power quick like when the sun comes up and the AC kicks in you can’t bring a Nuke Plant online quick to generate power when you need it.
Also if you are going to try and sell that extra power out of state first we need to fix power transmission lines and then we need to get rid of the power traders no more Enrons.
Wait, he’s not done talking about his time as a POW yet. He’ll need plenty of time to spend on that!
The premise of the questions are there but I think Warren is using different examples in getting an answer from both.
Oh the torture of being in the prolife community
wildly optimistic about skin cell research
rather than the pesky stem cell research.
– and he’ll ride to the gates of hell to get Osama
Jayt, how many cable boxes/dvr’s/vcr’s etc. does the signal go through between the wall and the tv?
McThuselah figures there might be longer evening nap if he can wrap this up early.
“gates of hell” !!
Oooh, I will follow OBL to the gates of hell…
On the question of evil, McSame says we should “defeat it.”
I can’t believe these people applaud. A Christian should know that evil cannot be defeated.
“I will get Osama if I have to follow him to the gates of Hell.”
Applause.
He’s going to defeat evil. So what will he do with Darth, Addington et al? Defeat them? How?
Osama wanted dead or alive my Friends
the lights went out there
You better make sure Tweety isn’t hiding under your desk. ;-)
Not too much nuance to his evil answer.
I’m fixing to puke.
win win win tera tera tera…
Is that story true about the 2 mentally disabled women in Iraq? I thought those 2 women were constant customers of that market and that’s why they were blown up….not that they were blown up because they were the bombers.
Aye, there’s the rub… First we have to define “eeeeevil…”
McSame is getting very excited about Iraq now. He must not know that Chimpy agreed to bring them home in 2011.
And Warren has pointed out McCain hasn’t done shit about OBL for the past 7 years?
And hopefully that would be soon..
McCain beginning to show his McCraziness.
and throwin’ in a lil dose of fear just for good measure.
Does Johnny know OBL is dead and has been for years? Doesn’t appear so.
booga, booga, booga… terra, terra, terra…
Suicide vests… and they didn’t even pull their own “suicide” cord – or whatever.
I’d call them vests “murder” vests, but that’s just me.
Is he gettin’ a buncha applause?
Need more alcohol
True but that just means we have to focus more so the MSM can’t ignore it.
This is a pro-Iraq war crowd, no doubt. They wanna be told that we’re fighting evil and that we’ll win.
Making Obama’s earlier repeated criticism of the war that much more pronounced.
The pukes are good…you’ve gotta admit it…
The “Gates of Hell”
“Evil”…
Bugga, bugga, f’ing bugga…
Yawn…
Booga !! Booga !! Look !! Al Qaeda… Osama Bin Laden… Gates Of Hell !!
I have never understood why, if OBL were about to enter the gates of Hell, we’d stop him?
Just got here. Has someone already said that McCain must have gotten the questions beforehand? He’s very ready with his answers, not having to stop and think at all. And, we know he’s not that quick.
Holy mackeral.
McCain goes 4-for-4 on the evil liberal justices!
all the justices on the left and those who believe in the rule of law and the constitution..
He wants the liberals off the SCOTUS because he knows the Constitution too well.
McSame lists half the supreme court for judges he wouldn’t have nominated. The liberals, plus Souter.
No applause.
This is in stark contrast to Obama, who got applause for dissing Thomas.
Weird.
Several minutes ago:
McCain: “Are we going to get back to the issue of Supreme Court Justices?”
Um, it hasn’t come up yet, John.
I think he just revealed that he’s been prepped on the questions before hand.
reply
Just now the SCOTUS topic came up.
So…he’s finally been given the map that shows him how to find the exit?
Ginsberg, Brier & Souder & Stevens
that pesky quadrangle of NO
That Down-syndrome-female-suiciders story was debunked, iirc.
But are you asking McCain to tell the truth?
LOL Pander pander pander! Had to throw in George Bush there at the end and he didn’t get one single person clapping.
Is Teddy Partridge Teddy San Fran?
do I get extra points for predicting earlier that McLame would have four answers to the “who you have not appointed to the Supreme Court” question?
Betsy @118 – a lot.
facts not allowed in repiglican pandering stories!
Baghdad, Mosul, Basra, and Iraq (all of those cities are in Iraq already), those are the central battlegrounds, blah blah blah…No mention of Afghanistan or the Pakistan problem. This is just disgusting!
I’ve noticed the questions are the same or similar, although I’m really not sure they’re in the same order.
“Legislating from the Bench”
“Proud of Bush for nominating Alito and Roberts”
Chaching, chaching, chaf’ingching…
What a Phoney!!!
yeah, but they’re eating it up. Remember, this is the OC. They’re kind of like the majority of Hoosiers only with more stuff.
Nah, they have to go through the gates of hell, right? I don’t think there is an exit door.
707
I caught that too Muzzy.
McCain says he knows how to get Osama but he won’t share that information unless elected president, sounds like treason to me.
I’m trying to get to the truth with him, Teddy. *digging through Truth Trunk* Dammit! Nothing.
Yeah. That was funny.
Hey, what does Katrina have to do with being a POW?
Get back on message, Johhny….
that’s your answer then
Jayt,
Pastor Prick asked the SCOTUS justice question singular of Barak and plural of McMumbles. So he is not asking the same questions.
Mr.Cbl
But but but Jesus didn’t use mackerel…. they are salt water fish…..
Now he’s going to define what’s evil…..tenure
Facts are illegal!!!!!
yep. Cheating. It’s the rethuglican way. It’s all they know.
Then why are our troops in Iraq but none are in Pakistan?
HOLY BATMAN!! did anyone see Mccoy’s SMIRK of DISDAIN on that last question when Rick said the word “addictions”??? HOW revealing was that??
dead giveaway
Evangelicals really hate “bad teachers.”
We are at the “Gates of Hell”
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Choice for everything except reproductive choice.
Shorter McInsane… Screw the teachers…!
yes.
If he says “my friends” one more time, I’m afraid I’ll have to turn the TV and computer off.
Just warning you now.
Huh? Same choice that he and Cindy had? Oh yes, tomorrow morning I can say, “I choose to own 8 houses and choose to be worth $100 million or more!” and it will happen. Johnny says it will.
Warren is fraud He sand bagged Obama. told Obama no stump speech and all we’ve seen McCain do his is
stump speech. He’s not answering questions he is ’speechifying”
Warren should have reign him in but he hasn’t..
Whic is why amateurs shouldn’t moderate these things
this is crap – and a losing night for Obama
McCain is against torture but he voted for it…There is no accountability in this forum
Baaad Teachers….very baaaad. Huge Cheers …..teachers worse than OBL.
yes.
damn!
tough crowd.
Bad teachers need to find another line of work.
McSame seems to think that market forces are what public education needs.
“Choice and competition.”
“Choice and competition.”
“Choice and competition.”
“Choice and competition.”
*sticking fingers in your ears when he says that so you’ll stay* LOL
charter schyools… but nothing about how the public schools have been short funded… Education for profit! Hi Milti Friedman
Who is rich?
Teachers who believe in evolution?
This is the prosperous part of Orange County: they don’t recognize liberals by name.
Ah, the rich question.
OK, here we go. McSame gets the “define rich” question.
This should be good.
Thanks for the response. I appreciate it.
rich = home +good job +education +balhbalh
Actually i thought Obama did really well, from the poont of view of a thinking member of the audience that is.
OOHHH “redistribution of the wealth”. commie lingo
What a fucking copout.
Refuses to give an answer in numbers. “I don’t want to take money from the rich.”
Nixon’s Secret Plan for Victory in Viet Nam I can’t believe McCain is risking the comparison to a failed plan.
Redefining the word “rich”! But of course. From now on, those that are rich are those that are poor and those that are poor are those who are enjoying their lives and aren’t suffering.
What an ass!
Rich is a meaningless term for McCain.
“A home, a good job, an education…”
How about EIGHT homes, asshole?
“I want everybody to get rich….”
Hope you guys don’t hate me for saying this, but I really like the questions this pastor is asking better than the ones that were asked by the MSM in other debates. They seems to be more revelatory (if that’s not a word, it ought to be) of the person answering.
So far I’ve gleaned that McSame is a man of a lot fewer words. That will undoubtedly go against Obama. He should learn to be a lot less effusive and more concise.
ack. shutting the tv. lasted a long time though.
Hands up everyone who makes over $200,000!
Five million.
I call Bullshit no class warfare!! The rich have been winning for years… anyone remember trickle down economics??
I agree drugs!
How do you know if you are rich?
Uhhh…marry Cindy…Five million..you’re rich if you make 5 million…
This is the GOP’s real problem. They can’t answer a simple question about what upper or middle class means.
This is just base dishonesty.
McSame finally says “$5 million” is what rich is. Asshole.
McCain’s confused…
he thinks this is the
“War/Fear and Talking Points Forum”
Johnny is rich and Barack is considered poor compared to the rest of Congress!
Hey, the DNA of bears study was a VERY important study.
LMAO! Exactly.
This man is disgusting.
Somebody needs to tell him, he is not my friend.
First name out of his mouth, Ginsburg. Breyer, Kennedy, Stevens, Souter. This man should never be president, he’s to the right of Cheney in terms of the Imperial Presidency.
He can only remember so much.
hey, Kay what’s up in your neck of maine?
McCain is nuts, and they’re eating it up. I’m on c=span. They have voiceovers at the singing parts of this thing. Makes the singers look really stupid.
What a dishonest goober…….attacks defenseless grizzlies.
Seems to me like McCain is being permitted to give his stump speech.
mcLame thinks we’re paying four bucks a gallon in California.
(I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND)
My friends….
My friends…
My friends…
screw you!!!!!!!!
Is he reading flash cards? He has given no reflection to any question.
Holy Shit! Congress took a break on high gas prices… What about the obscene profits of Oil companies…?
lmao
Ditto! Big Time!
It’s a perfectly good word!
Hey woman! So glad you’re here tonight. My neck of the woods is sopping wet and I’m sick of it. *adjusting goulashes* How ’bout you? LOL
pennies?
And who you love.
Ooops. My comment at #229 is to KittyKitty’s comment at #219. ;-)
what has mccain said
about his faith?
How many years do I have? I may do it in 4 or 5…
What a fucking liar…disgusting piece of poo.
Yes the private for profit school thing was tanking last I heard. So has army outsourcing for everything on Iraq.
There are some things government does do better than private industry.
coastal, babe. fog fog fog. just like this cretin on tv
Uh oh unions are bad…. spy spy spy on all citizens
He has been so stuffed with talking points he’s unable to make any sense. Talking about the right to privacy, and the Employee Free Choice Act in the same sentence, then cyberwarfare.
He is an idiot.
So they’ve finished the questions obama answered, and the next 20 minutes will be additional questions not asked of Obama.
That must have been the plan. Make Barack Obama stay within the guidelines but when Johnny was onstage he could talk as long as he wanted to no matter if he was first or 2nd tonight.
Which is a bunch of buzzwords and talking points. Contrast with Obama, who was a lot more considered in his answers.
scary crowd shot. Lots of faces looking at McCrazy with big smiles and apparent admiration and agreement with this garbage….
(consoling self for the moment with a self-reminder that this *is* Orange County, CA).
Did McCrazy just bitch about Congress taking a vacation? How the hell would he know – when’s the last time HE darkened the doorway there?
He is not my fucking friend I can tell you That!
he prayed when he was a POW and was tortured and drew a cross in the sand.
his faith is what moves YOU
Well, that’s basically all he has. Did you expect it to be otherwise?
Good gawd. Your area is full of McCains! Yuck. I got caught in a downpour so bad today I had to drive with my hazard lights on in the hopes no one would hit and thought it would be good to have on in case I hydroplaned my ass into the forest! Wow. Scary.
I wonder how Obama’s feeling about participating in this event now?
That’s fracking rich. The putz can’t even e-mail. He’s a troglodyte.
No this is good after all a million used to make you rich before Bush devalued the Dollar:)
and yet, pre-season football with teams i don’t even like seems like a fine thing to watch right now.
yep
Has McInsane uttered one word outside of a repug Talking Point…?
More about the bear study here
In case anyone needs to respond to this particular talking point, endlessly repeated by McSame, around the watercooler tomorrow….
Awwww, I remember those stories tonight. It’s bringing a tear to my eye. Not.
I’ve heard him tell that story before, it’s his stock answer to questions about his “faith.”
McCain didn’t seem wholly surprised at the questions –just saying’
Perfect credentials to run for Prezdeinecnnteotott.
like a chump, I hope.
Kay, you know Allen is gettin hammered on this union voting thing. His ads on TV don’t address it at all. My kid is a regional organizer for the dems and i keep tellin her to send that message up the line. no luck. Collins is hammerin him with 527s and then disavowing any ownership.
sickening.
Oh goodie, now we get to watch the jesus people sing without sound on c-span.
I SENT AN EMAIL TO C-SPAN TONIGHT. TOMORROW AT 1230 THEY’RE LETTIN THIS GUY PREACH A SERMON ON C-SPAN. WHAAATTT???!
Shows cultural diversity, right?!!
Hi Kay…I heard that Kay my son and family are visiting down in Mass and he couldn’t talk as he was White knuckle driving in a T Storm… they were going to my sister’s for a barbecue..ha ha ha
McCain reminds me of the “overprepared” Reagan in the first Mondale debate.
Where the Alzheimers first showed.
Who wants to bet the debates negotiation will be reopened tomorrow by the McLame campaign?
the faith-based audience
really digs mccain’s inane rambling anecdotes…
he’s just like grampa!!!
Let Mccain drill off the Los Angeles coast, those fucking idiots who applauded would chance their tune.
Someone up above mentioned that McCain probably had these questions mailed to him a couple weeks ago. Could be.
This is outrageous. who is rich? a man who has a home and a family and is happy.
you’re the rich man so stop whining!
Why does PASTOR WARREN let the insane mccain get away with this?
Obama should never do a town hall with McCain or repeat anything like this…McCain is out of control
Thanks Pastor for revealing you’re full of it
I hoped the format might help expose his cognitive shortcomings. I suppose his recital of talking points has accomplished that.
What are pennies?
Looks like Warren has his questions for each time segment. so now we’re back to the next segment and the same questions he had for Obama.
the most precious asset we have is american BLOOD?? NO, guy, that’s MY blood. you don’t own it.
quoi?
That sounds like a good tell you picked up on McCain will push for new debate rules if he is half as sick as we think.
McCain’s ready for the march to the sea, through Georgia
Only to the perceptive.
shining light on hill…
reagan….
he just belched!!
I know he’s getting hammered with these lies. Where is the $5 million for ads from the DSCC promised to tackle this kind of crap in care of Allen? Don’t know. I have a feeling they (the Allen campaign) will bombard the media here (that is if the media in Maine will allow them to air them…you know how they are! Assholes!!!!!!!) 6 weeks before the election. It has to be fresh in the minds of the voters and I think they would be smart to use those last weeks to do it. Let Suzie-Q “I’m not a lesbian!” Collins use most of her money up now.
goulashes /galoshes
A good cook always adjusts their goulashes.
I’d love for Warren to ask those who have a kid in the war to applaud. It would be crickets in that place.
Looks like he’s nailed down the patriotic vampire vote.
The Georgia question is only for McCain.
Thats for sure… they remember what happened in the past off the coast with all that “Clean and Safe Drilling” I wonder did they pay the real costs of that debacle??
upstairs
http://firedoglake.com/2008/08…..-part-iii/
they dug up reagan for this?
Part 3 is upstairs
It appears there is no set of rules that this man will not abuse. There are no rules.
“the russians are coming” in there??
repeat
I think the debates will decide it. I’m looking forward to seeing him eviscerate himself.
Hey woman! You, me, and KittyKitty have got to get together! So sorry we haven’t. I’ve been right out straight lately and for months now.
The storm I went through was in Oxford County/Androscoggin County line. Holy moly was it severe. My windshield fogged up so quickly from the cold rain that I was surprised I didn’t kiss a tree. ;-)
LOL I thought that looked funny but Firefox accepted it. ;-)
McCain seems to mention that he is a POW allot maybe he will be like a noun a verb and 9/11 Rudy.
McCain also seems to be avoiding questions and just repeating his stump speech talking points instead of answering the questions.
That won’t work when the voters are paying attention to the issues.
The days when polite applause could carry you are over you need to be right on the issues.
McCain’s foreign policy – the new cold war
BEEN THERE- DONE THAT
what is this campaign speech on Georgia…?
Why not just give McCain the hour to talk about what ever they want.
McCain ? been there done that
Chreeschan nation. McCain is truly a lying turd. What a disgusting, mean excuse for a human.
Kay, my kid tells me Colllins is out of ad money. Apparently the DSCC is pouring, or was, more $ into Maine than any other state to try and defeat her. But JEZ Tried to tell his cmpgn mgr that a couple months ago. Just got her head in clouds.
Allen is a wimp.
Looks like Bush and McCain LOST THE COLD WAR again!
Been there done that
going off the tracks whistle talker? think of all the voters that never heard
Regan speak.
I think if I took a drink every time I heard McLame say “my friends,” I would be falling down drunk in 5 minutes. It is really sounding lame by now.
Bob in HI
Well, I would have been great for the campaign but I was told by people connected to the campaign on another (very large) liberal blog that I’m not smart enough nor rich enough to be in politics nor should I even talk about it.
The Girls of California are now in charge of taking Suzie-Q down for Tommy! Isn’t that nice. Have fun assholes. I’m a son of a gun, but hey, who can compete with those smart rich people who don’t clean their own homes and have people mowing their lawns for them? LOL! I don’t mind getting dirty whether it’s physically, mentally,
socially, or otherwise.McCain- Military is the first solution – after that fails..the fall back solution…more military
There will be no peace with this man….no peace in our life time i McCain is elected
This Rick Warren farce makes me want to puke…what a set up
Obama was thoughtful…and then we get this carnival act..
The duplicity od this man!…when I think of the ads he runs, how does he sleep at night.
McCain reminds me why I hate republicans….he has 100 million dollars and I should be happy to have a roof over my head
Rick Warren you failed tonight
“McCain says he knows how to get Osama but he won’t share that information unless elected president, sounds like treason to me.”
sounds like Nixon to me, so I’m older than you… or something
Good grief, you guys! WHAT did you expect?
You have a right wing evangelical, Baptist by training, in the most conservative county in CA (and one of the most conservative in the country) with a huge crowd likewise, that smooths his way through his evangelical thinking (only found in statements that you actually have to search for on the web) who APPEARS moderate when compared to folks like Falwell (and all of these guys actually hate Warren, BTW, because they see him (actually as I do.. me a liberal, as not being honest. Gee, no kidding?))
WHAT were you actually thinking would happen?
Warren DID say they would be given identical questions. I couldn’t ferret out the questions, so dunno if that was true.
So when you see wild applause for weird answers, realize that this is being held at a right wing church, in a right wing county in otherwise moderate to lefty CA.
Nothing I heard surprised me at all.
I would, however, encourage you to watch the OC Register for their take through the week (including Sunday). Reporters are usually decent, editors are whacks.
I had put together a few quick questions for McCain to be asked. I am in the proccess of working on questions for Obama, I would like asked as well.
Thoughtful questions for Rev Rick to ask of Candidate McCain.
“Senator McCain, recently at a campaign stop at Sturgis,S.D.. Where you spoke with Hells Angels and was the opening act for Kid Rock, you offered and encouraged your wife, Cindy McCain, to enter in the Buffalo Chip Queens’s competition”. You boasted from the stage to these Hells Angels and other thrill seekers.
*Sir, where was your God that day?
*How does your faith in the Lord allow you to offer your wife into a contest of public sexual content? (nudeness and Banana acts to excite the bikers for votes).
*Did your wife refuse ?, And if so, what was her refusing reason ?
*If you excuse yourself for “not being aware of what the contest involved”, what else would you offer your wife up for & expose her to without prior knowledge? (would it included no clothes and banana’s also?)
-And if President, what would you offer America into without prior knowledge?
*Now knowing about the contest,
A) Would you here and now like to appoligize to your wife in public after humiliating her in public ? (if you bellieve she was humiliated)?
B) Here and now in front of these Christians here today, As President, do you now feel the Buffalo Chip Queen contest is Risky, sinful sexual lewd activity, would you as President promise now to ban such pagan acts in this Christan Nation?
* With your book “Honor my Fathers”. Does any of this honor them?
*Did you honor your fathers by cheating on your first wife with several wemon until meeting your present wife, when you then decided to divorced the first? What was your Christian spiritual advisor telling you at the time?
*Does being one of the “Keating Five” and barely eluding jail for it, honor your fathers and how does it reflect living your Christian life? What amends did you make to atonement?
*As a politician, when is it OK to lie? When as only a Christian? With dual hats of a Christian politician?
*Why do you think God let you condemn the United States of America to your Vietnam captors and the world?
*In the name of GOD, has your campaign espoused lies and or untruths of your opposing candidate for president? Is that OK with God and the Honor of your fathers?
*Why is your campaign staff filled with unsavory people that lobby for money from unsavory people and what unsavory unChristian deeds do they want in return from the trusted position of power the voters could entrust in you, to use in their behalf and not these money changers?
Just for starters?
