"McCain building a private lake is bad for Obama"-Mark Halperin

moreleesafer · 1 year ago

isn't that hilarious?! They are making it sound as if they were playing nice prior to this. and the proper answer to the pundit's (I have heard them use this all weekend on TV) "Obama earned 4 million dollars last year is:


short answer:
"Well according to John McCain, anything under $5 million is middle class, so I don't see your point."

Long answer:
"Yes, he did. How much did McCain earn? And how much of did he collect in service disability payments and Social security while his family is worth a $100 million dollars? The Obamas had more in student loans than john McCain spent on housekeeping staff last year. Those loans were just recently paid off by the royalties of Obama's two books. Prior to that, they were struggling to pay those off just like most of middle America."


"Well, since Obama actually hit back after we kicked him in the face a few times...we are going to have to drag up all kinds of crap in his past that have nothing to do with his values and are a bunch of lies...Oh and John McCain was in a place that didn't have anything to eat but fishhead soup for 5 years...."

Lots of mobile home parks have a retention pond with fish in it. Besides, Sedona is over. The vortexes have begun to diminish and in some cases are already inactive It's the Evil that diminishes them.

"The only lake I had for five and a half years was the one they kept dunking me under."

This constant attempt to make John McCain a victim is getting old. How dare the evil black Marxist attack the Victim John McCain? Haven't Marxists done enough to him?

I believe the money grubbin' whores that front our corporate media cannot and/or do not want to talk about this opulence, as their masters and/or they themselves worship these excesses. Our fascist state is near completion.

Seems nothing gets the attention of the SAP's (Stupid American People)............. they refuse to listen to facts and will vote against their own best interests over and over again............

You know what else everyone seems too afraid to talk about? John McCain produced propaganda for our enemies in Vietnam:

For some reason a lot of soldiers who were POWs didn't betray our country, but John McCain, who was given special treatment for being an admiral's son, did. If anyone is unpatriotic in this campaign its John McCain.

Why aren't you blogging about that John?

Campaign commercials MUST be made from these recordings. And they always have to end with 'I am John McCain, and I made this message.'

I've been wanting to hear this stuff, and is there any film from that era?

This is the dynamite needed to explode the mythology of McCain. And the other message from this time is that what the Vietnamese did to him when he was imprisoned: it was NOT torture - by the GOP's standards!!!

McCain was NOT tortured, and he made anti-US propaganda for the enemy. That is the message that needs to be repeated!

I think all the focus on McCain's lifestyle needs to be paired with how that lifestyle effects his thinking. There's a great clip from a couple years back of McCain speaking at a union function defending Bush's guest worker program. He made the extraordinary claim that Americans simply wouldn't pick lettuce, even if they were paid $50 an hour!

The Obama campaign needs to find that clip, because I'm sure the vast majority of the public doesn't know about it. It showed a really ugly side of McCain. He said that, and the hall erupted - 'where do I sign up?!' - and he answered contemptuously 'for the whole season? You can't do it, my friends.'

Why aren't the Dems using this?

Because the GOP has ordered the Democratic Leadership to lose! And since the Dems are owned by the GOP, they are doing everything they can to do just that, lose the election.

Did McCain have the lake built or was the lake there when he bought the place? I read the part where Shrub had his built in Crawford but don't see where McCain had his lake personally built. It's still a good example of his filthy excess though.

On that note, my neighbors have a small pond in their backyard that they stock with goldfish that attracts great blue herons. It's pretty cool to be in my backyard here in The City and have a bird with a seven-foot wingspan fly just a few feet overhead.

McCain will enjoy the lake when he's beaten in November. I can't think of a weaker candidate, not even Dole was this confused during his campaign. Now if the dumb ass half of this country notices, things will be fine.

McCain: "They didn't have fishing where I spent five years!!"

unrepentant_expat · 1 year ago

John McCain wanted to go fishing, so he built a private lake

Yeh, but Obama can part the water!

Rumor has it that Cindy pays a scuba diver to put fish on his hook. Wealth has it's privileges.
