I understand what you’re saying, but I don’t consider McCain’s comments as “classy” .. I consider them ignorant.
If McCain cannot see how UNQUALIFIED Obama is .. then I seriously question McCain’s JUDGEMENT.
I mean, sometimes the truth has to reign. If McCain cannot bring himself to tell the truth about an opponent .. then how is he going to tell the truth to the terrorists ..??

Sure those arent tingles?No, that's what Obama got from his gay lover/cocaine buddy, Larry Sinclair.

If McCain is seriously going through 40 names of possible VP choices, then many of these choices, like it or not, are probably also conservative choices for VP. McCain truly knows that he can seriously still lose the general election without enough conservatives voting for him. How many conservatives do truly end up voting for McCain on November 4 is anybody’s guess at this point in time. It truly continues to be painful for conservatives to not really have any major conservative candidates for POTUS to both support and vote for in ‘08. God help the U.S.!

I’m not a big McCain fan, but to have everyone jump on his comment based on the Washington Post’s take is not thinking straight. During the interview, he was taken off guard by the comment, and did say as a brush off, if the people vote him in then he’s qualified.
The MSM’s Obama Worship strikes again!

McCain is making it more and more difficult to envision my being able to hold my nose/my breath long enough to vote for him.
If he continues to piss on conservatives, many that I know just won’t show up in November.
I doubt he’ll be successful in fund raising just from the “moderates,” but other than being compelled by fund raising imperatives down the road, I don’t see him going “right.”
Those of you who hung on so long to the Huckster’s candidacy can thank yourselves for letting McLame slip through...
Sigh...

Should McCAin have said Obama is absolutely not qualified to be POTUS?Well yes.
For one, he is unqualified to be POTUS. He only recently finished potty training.
For another, that's one of McCain's clear advantages over this child, which McCain just threw away. To win, McCain is going to have to convince a lot of I's that Obama is a wet-behind-the-ears, radical socialist. This has the advantage of being both correct and a really good political argument. Why McCain won't make it is beyond me.
There would be a firestorm unlike any, 100 times worse than Jeremiah Wright Debacle, if McCain were to make a stupid statement like that.
A firestorm on the issue would be great. The more the left raves about how mean it is to call him unqualified, the more normal people hear and think about the issue. A good percentage of them will reach the obvious conclusion that he is not.

To McBots everywhere,
Try using bleach to get the BS Express tire tracks out of your clothes. At least until your hero Mcbackstabber outlaws bleach in the name of his God, Glo-bull Warming.

It wasn’t as horrible as some of his performances. He bumbled on a few points and came off o.k. in ohters (if you like hearing him tout bipartisanship, and such).

I will say that he was better than John Kerry, who he preceded on Fox today. ;-)

This election will be fascinating from one standpoint at least. The question is:
Is the American electorate stupid enough to elect a corrupt, radical but glib anti-American Marxist who happens to be an empty suit, or,
...to elect a corrupt, radical, power-mad yet un-glib anti-American Marxist who looks at best comical in any suit, esp. a pantsuit, or,
...to elect a corrupt, lying, RINO and fiscally dishonest (see Keating 5), incompetent former pilot (didn't land in FIVE different aircraft in which he took off, if you didn't know that...) infected with dildonic plague who is also, apparently, borderline psychotic and working hard at becoming senile, and, even on a bet, couldn't find his ideological ass with both hands, a mirror, and a map on a sunny day?
The answer to the question above is, apparently, ''YES!''.
Screw 'em all. Write in Calvin Coolidge for president.

Time for a third party and fast! It ain’t over until the fat lady sings or until we give up. In the least we should have someone ready if something happens to him before the election. What then?

(McCain "conservatives" = hardcore liberals who nonetheless appreciate the occasional tax cut.)
To: DrGunsforHands
Heres to hoping he nominates someone sane and genuinely conservative, like Fred Thompson.
Thompson is no more a Conservative than McCain.
In 1997 Fred Thompson voted to revoke Chinas Most Favored Nation (MFN) trade status (S.Amdt. 890 to S. 955), then turned around in 1999 after even more Chinese malfeasance was uncovered, some by Mr. Thompson himself and voted in favor of MFN (S.J.Res. 27). Then, during the 2000 debate to give Bill Clinton his coveted Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) for the chicoms, Fred teamed with Robert Toricelli to put in a poison pill amendment (S.Amdt 4132 to HR 4444), tying trade to a series of weapons non proliferation standards. Despite the Jesse Helms-like posture and the subsequent failure of his amendment, Fred ended up voting for PNTR, amendment free, handing Clinton a huge victory at the expense of our national security.
He voted to grant amnesty to close to one million illegal aliens from Nicaragua and Cuba in 1997 by giving legal status for those who had lived in the United States illegally since 1995, along with their spouses and minor unmarried children.
He voted against the Simpson Amendment to S.1664 that was in favor of a chain migration system that has been the primary reason for annual immigration levels snowballing from less than 300,000 in 1965 to around a million. Sen. Thompson supported provisions that allow immigrants to send for their adult relatives. Then each of those relatives can send for their and their spouses adult relatives, creating a never-ending and ever-growing chain. The bi-partisan Barbara Jordan Commission recommended doing away with the adult relative categories (begun only in the 1950s) in order to lessen wage depression among lower-paid American workers.
Before the Senate passed the H-1B doubling bill (S.1723), Sen. Thompson had an opportunity to vote for a measure requiring U.S. firms to check a box on a form attesting that they had first sought an American worker for the job. Sen. Thompson voted against that, joining those who said the requirement would give government too much authority over corporations right to hire whomever they please from whatever country.
Thompson supported Roe vs. Wade in the 90s. Thompson said he supports the Supreme Courts Roe vs. Wade decision that established a constitutional right to abortion. Source: the Memphis Commercial Appeal on July 29, 1993 page B1.
In an October 21, 1994 article, The Washington Post reported that both Thompson and his Democratic opponent in the 1994 Senate race, then-Rep. Jim Cooper, believe in legal abortion.
Thompson spoke on the Senate floor on April 23, 2002 in support legislation that stated global warming was due to human intervention. Per Title X:
SEC. 1001. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON GLOBAL WARMING.
(a) FINDINGS. The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Evidence continues to build that increases in atmospheric concentrations of man-made greenhouse gases are contributing to global climate change.
Those are hardly the positions of a Conservative.
