his foot in his mouth.

14. "A conservative liberal Republican"
who plans to run a "dispirited campaign".

I'm beginning to think he knows he's a throw away candidate.

4. Poor McCain
Edited on Sat Mar-01-08 06:09 AM by musicblind
I mean, I can't wait for the Repubs to lose this election so we can finally have a democrat (be it Hillary OR Barack either one!)... still, I can't help but to feel a little bad for McCain. I honestly think he is a nice guy. I know, I know, that's awful to say inside of DU. But I don't think McCain is the evil that Bush is. I do think that Hillary or Obama will be far better presidents. But I feel for McCain, he has spent many years serving his country, he has over come great odds, and is very very very old. Yet he is still fighting for this presidency that is, plain and simple, never going to be his. He has done so much for America and will never ever get to be president. It's kind of sad. I will be voting against him in the GE, but I still feel a little ping in my chest to see an American hero lose an election. Though I DON'T WANT A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT, don't get me wrong lol.

7. So, does that mean he wants a living wage for all? You know, $50/hr for pickin' lettuce?
Why we should bother heckling, I do not know...

18. I suspect that will come up during the GE.

I remember hearing the sound bites from that when he told an audience of mostly union workers that they couldn't do the work. It was too hard.

15. Since he spoke of his liberal opponents a sentence or so later, he prolly
just messed up his speech, but his timing couldn't have been worse...:dunce:. I'm thinking there'll be more moments like this in McCain's future. :evilgrin:

21. I meant the "dispirited campaign" statement..
like..did he really mean to say "spirited"? Or was he just blurting out a word he doesn't know the meaning of?

:hi: At least I got the logo in my sig line..I had problems with the avatar region but my sister is coming over one of these days and I'll get her to help me.

Thanks so much for your directions and the use of the Sun On The Horizon Obama, No Surrender, I love..not too many like this one:D

22. He meant to say "spirited," and quickly corrected himself.
I'm going to keep lots of :popcorn: and :beer: on hand for watching McCain during the GE. :D

Avatar or sig line, it looks wonderful! :hi:

10. Never thought I'd see the day
when a Republican calls himself a liberal to win support.
