Soon, he'll be talking about how General Westmoreland needs to be supported.

Creepy? Yeah, I'm afraid so. McCain just keeps on spinning from the lip. It's embarassing for everybody to watch PTSD in action.

OT: Federal government rules now prohibit townspeople in Chapman, Kansas from rebuilding their homes with basements.
Government at work: tornado-area housing can't have basements By David Klepper | Kansas City Star
Tell a town of Kansas tornado survivors that they can't have a basement? Amy Bemis has a word for talk like that.
"Insane," she says.
Like most residents of Chapman, Kan., Bemis huddled in her basement the night of June 11, when a tornado destroyed scores of homes in this town of 1,250.
Recovery efforts are in full swing, and residents say they will remake Chapman better than it was before.
But the efforts to rebuild the community now face an obstacle townspeople did not expect: Federal reconstruction rules are forcing many residents to rebuild without the basements that sheltered them through the storm.
I love it. Vote republican folks, they just love you. Quick kids get behind the tv a tornado is coming.

Folks, this is a little too picayune. It really seems to me as if McCain was saying that Petraeus was "in contravention" to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (regarding the surge... and he was). I really don't think he was introducing Petraeus as the CJCS. If we continue to focus on tiny gaffes (even when they aren't necessarily a gaffe) the meme that we are unhinged gains momentum. It's like the vultures on the limb who say "F**k this waiting around, I'm gonna kill something"

Guess he needs a permanent "speech cleaner-upper" like Couric and company. They'll have to wire him with a feed in that continually gives him the correct facts . . . Didn't that happen at least one time with Bushie in a debate?

IMHO this whole election will come down to one thing only: racism. Some people, not just repugs, just cannot bring themselves to vote for a black man. But when the only other choice seems to be a senile, sick, old man maybe the idiots will stay home and the rest of us will do what is right for this country: elect Obama.

The Republicans have been praying for their next Ronald Reagan, and I believe they've found him in John McCain, only it's not the 1980 Reagan they found; it's the dementia-ridden late 1980s and beyond Ronald Reagan, whose brain was already riddled with holes big enough to play marbles in.
God bless John McCain, but keep him away from any levers of political power.

The Larry King interview was typical...The Paxil voice and odd, inappropriate giggles from McGaffe but I was mesmerized by Larry's Indian Earth or Egyptian Mud make-up...Larry almost made McGaffe appear semi middle-ageish...

And don't forget the political/punditorial McCain enabling and Obama uppityfication... New winner of the NABJ's Thumbs Down Award for insensative and/or racist commentary, Pat Buchanan's fresh, shorter take on Obama:
Who that neegah think he is???
From E&P: NABJ gives out a "Thumbs Down Award" for "an individual or organization for especially insensitive, racists or stereotypical reporting, commentary, photography, or a cartoon...also "winning" was syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan, who was cited for a pieces titled "A Brief for Whitey" and "The Way Our World Ends," which concluded that a baby boom among "black and brown people" will lead, essentially, to the end of Western Man.
I really think mcidiot was set up by the REPUKE/Oligarchy establishment. They knew of his short comings in many examples, yet they propped him up. Something smells fishy. I say let this continue. It can only get better in the gaffes and slip-ups. At some point when the media finally stops lying to the American people, we'll actually have a more transparent democracy. I'm dreaming, I know.

I have to say, HC&M, there's a lot to ponder in what you've said. Sometimes supporting the weakest candidate of the opposition is the way to win for yourself. It's hard to believe with all of the reasonable and many capable Republicans, McCain surfaces. He's neither. D.

next he's going to push for admitting Hawaii and Alaska as full states of the Union!
I tend to agree the backwards/racists/retards will vote for Grandpa rather than A BLACK MAN with a FUNNY-SOUNDING FOREIGN NAME so we'll (DIEBOLD) "elect" McSame and probably worse than Cheney as VP and then Grandpa will drop dead quicker than William Henry Harrison leaving us with God-knows-who or what.

I guess in McCain's narrow thinking, you have to have gone into space in order to decide on approving any programs for NASA too. Going into the battle zone is certainly an eye opener, but it's not going to change the plan of attack. When Politicos, like McCain and Obama go into dangerous zones, they're cleared out in advance. So what they see is a sanitized version of the area... not the actual battle zone. C'mon, people... Wake up. D.
John, We need to find a focus and stear away from the umbrella criticism of McCain. We need to focus on two major things for now: his medical and pow records. Rumors are that he is suffering from a variant of dementia and wasn't tortured at all in Vietnam--both easily hyped. The rumors would swirl around this angle and if he isn't willing to release either of the records he is screwed and if he does I have a feeling he is too. If this doesn't work then go for the obvious--the economy.
