And I've counted three times, the word "collective"
Thailand?
A very scary speech.
Horrible speech, also saying how we have to “listen” to what other countries, democRATs, etc. have to say before acting, and on and on. If he’s elected, how soon before he just hands over the keys to the UN?
Earlier they played some excerpts of his speech. I wasn’t impressed.
Jon F’n Cary must have written that part of his speech.
It you’re talking about his World Affairs speech, I am in full agreement. He began by talking about how we must do everything in our power to deal with global warming. I’m not sure I can vote for the man. At best, I would have to hold my nose. And if he does win, he only deserves to do so by default.
That only proves that you can count to three. LMAO
This guy is not recognizable as a Republican. I just cannot vote for him.
Just awful.
At least knarf listened and counted. Some are apparently contented to just snark.
One of the scariest speeches I’ve heard in awhile. And these are our choices? (Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary or Mr. Let’s Give Away Our Sovereignty McCain?)
Snark?
McCain sounds like he wants to set up a NWO. I can hardly stand the thought of this next election. I do so most of the time by keeping a sense of humor. After this speech, the wind was taken from my sails.
Where’s the live thread? It’s over. It was long. Nobody cared.
Too bad, because it was pretty scary.
My first shiver came when he talked about international citizenship. I don’t WANT to be an international citizen!
Last minute or so, he dragged out that line about “these are God’s children.” And something I didn’t catch about people who came legally versus people who came here illegally, which bears a second hearing.
Fox televised the whole enchilada. Then the Fox anchor referred to McCain accidentally as “the President.” Heh.
McCain is nutz. Sh*t. They are all nuts, they are going to give the US away.
“Nobody cared”—perhaps not, how sad. Those of us who did care, and who did listen, probably won’t sleep as well tonight. Hope someone posts a transcript.
Buy a FEW good guns and a LOT of ammo .. load ‘em, and have ‘em at the ready.
Most people probably didn’t wish to hear what he said. They might realize what a danger he is to this country.
Yes, he is dangerous, but not as dangerous as Obama or Hillary. I can’t imagine the stakes being any higher this election. Two socialists vs. a more or less traditional democrat (who happens to have an “R” after his name).
I think they all are dangerous. All of them are detestable traitors.
No, I think you heard right and, if I heard correctly (in between incoming telephone calls) it sounded like a major "misspoke" moment.
Snark? = Whine with a nasal twang...
I just posted the text of his speech. I should have added “barf alert”:

Remarks By John McCain To The Los Angeles World Affairs Council (Today’s foreign policy speech)
If he wins, he and a Democrat Congress will be charging full speecd ahead.
Vote Constitution Party!!...
==If he wins, he and a Democrat Congress will be charging full speecd ahead.
I beg to differ. If he wins, the Demorats will proceed at about half-speed ahead. It’s not much, but it’s something. And we should be shouting and denouncing every “compromise” along the way. No more free passes just because he has an (R) next to his name.
McCain is an idiot.
That only proves that you can count to three. LMAO
Actually, it only proves he can't count.
The word "collective" was only used twice in the speech, and neither usage was in the Soviet style.
I'm sure you will be delighted to know that "free" or "freedom" was used 13 times and "democratic" or "democracy" was used 20 times.
Who's their candidate? Ron Paul or Alan Keyes?
Wrong!
They haven’t decided yet, but I’d vote for either over McClintObama.
Why half-speed? I bet they will work on a lot of legislation together that would never been able to get done before. What are the chances the GOP will fight?
I agree with you on the former. Who are these conservatives that will fight back?
Conservative talk radio (led by Rush Limbaugh). Limited government conservatives. Americanist foreign policy conservatives. Anti-illegal immigration conservatives. The religious right. The anti-human caused global warming conservatives. Etc, etc, etc...
Snark? = Whine with a nasal twang, eyes rolling, a fart and tongue hanging out.. ...
The Hunting of the Snark is done by boy scouts hiding behind a bush waiting for a snark to run by..
norton: No, I think you heard right and, if I heard correctly (in between incoming telephone calls) it sounded like a major "misspoke" moment.
I was preoccupied too, but what I thought I heard...I thought, nah! he couldn't have said THAT.
I should look around for a transcript or maybe a video. It was the last few sentences of his speech. I won't even quote him unless I'm positive he said it; it was that stupid!
"and then my friends, we would, based on the principle that no one who came here legally or waited legally would have any priority over someone who came here illegally, using that principle, I believe we must address the issue in a humane and compassionate fashion. My friends, these are God's children..."
That, unfortunately, is exactly what I thought I heard. He was speaking rather slowly and he stressed the word "legally" as if he were taking special care to state this correctly. So it doesn't seem to be a misstatement.
If he meant it, he's worse than I thought.

If you have realplayer, there’s the video.
Now, I note that the news (sic), including Fox, has not picked it up; even as 'misspeak' it should have raised eyebrows.
Seems McCain has the typical liberals' free pass on things that matter.
2008 will either go down as the year that BOTH parties divorced representative government - or we'll be directed to forget the whole thing.
