McCain to crowd: 'Don't be scared' of Obama presidency [**FLASHBACK 10/11/2008**]
CNN - Political Ticker ^ | 2008-10-11

LAKEVILLE, Minnesota (CNN) – John McCain heard boos at a town hall meeting Friday night after the Republican presidential nominee called for the crowd to be more respectful towards rival Barack Obama.

“We would like you to remain a true American hero,” an elderly military veteran told him. “We want you to fight.”

“I will fight, but we will be respectful,” McCain said. “I admire Senator Obama and his accomplishments and I will respect him.”

When the crowd began to boo, McCain told them “No, no. I want everyone to be respectful.”

In these trying times, we need to go to Senator McCain for wisdom, because surely in his 70+ years he has some, and if he’s not available, we can go to Meghan, for surely she has some wisdom passed down from her daddy. (that was sarcasm for the sarcastically impaired)

After John Mccain made this ridiculous statement, I realized my donations money to the GOP had been pissed away.

Yep, his comments p*ssed me off big time. I thought “Let me be the judge of that”! And, I too, believe it was a setup.

This event may have been the precise moment where McCain lost (tossed) the election.

It was very hard to tell if McLame was in the race for himself or for FUBO.

And McCain supported amnesty and a cap and trade system to address the manmade global warming hoax, which ran against the majority views of his own party. The GOP lost two good issues against Obama. There are consequences when you nominate the party maverick to be your standard bearer.

Look for McCain to support Obama in getting an amnesty, which will destroy this country with the stroke of a pen and a cap and trade system, which will wreck our economy. We need to get McCain defeated in 2010.

With all due respect for the man’s past service to the country, McCain — and the Republican national “leadership” — are why this FLAMING MARXIST sits in the White House.

A stronger, more conservative GOP candidate at the top of the ticket could have beaten this USURPER handily.

About the only thing McCain did that made any sense was to pick Palin for VP but most thinking Pubbies saw that as a small bone to conservatives. And when the ravening wolves of the liberal media tried to tear her apart, McCain and his people did little or nothing, turning Sarah into a sacrificial lamb.

And now we have MIKE STEELE running the show, setting the stage for two terms for Obama.

MEMO TO GOP: CRANIAL-ANAL INVERSIONS CAN BE REVERSED! SEEK A CURE!!

I have had this gut feeling inside that he was resentful of having to pick Palin, but insiders told him pick a game changer like Palin or he may as well throw in the hat. And after doing so was jealous of the attention she got.
His lame convention speech, was a dead giveaway. It followed her fantastic night, which smashed Obamas audience numbers

“I admire Senator Obama and his accomplishments and I will respect him.”

...that was Juan’s “end of the road” line. It was hard enough to swallow that McLame was the Rep nominee, much less to hear the guy put BO and “accomplishment” in the same sentence. He thinks we’re all idiots with our arms outstretched like mummies, waiting for his next order. Little runt.

This is the moment when I knew it was over.

I had the exact same reaction.

“He is FDR, Carter, and Marx rolled into one and there is no mystery about it”.

...true. BO has “accomplished” more toward the destruction of America and freedom than any of these 3 EVER could’ve imagined. He makes FDR and Carter look like conservatives.

A decent person would put the questions of eligibility to bed by addressing them openly.

It’s hard to respect a person when you think he’s violated the constitution by usurping the highest office in the land, even if he did win a popular vote.

“This is the moment when I knew it was over. “

And this was the moment I turned to my wife and said “We just won”.

What the heck happened? McCain followed with a lame convention speech, the media were given marching orders to destroy Palin, and McCain went into neutral the rest of the election.
