AMERICAblog: McCain calls Americans "my fellow prisoners"

  • JohnInTexas · 1 year ago
    Meghan looked like she almost laughed...Palin didn't bat an eye. She enjoys McDummy messing up, makes her look better.
  • KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago
    She looks like a younger version of Cindy, if Cindy wasn't into "the finger down the throat time" (Ab Fab fans will get this).
  • boloboffin · 1 year ago
    I disagree a bit. Meghan looked a little puzzled and upset to me. Palin doesn't bat an eye, true, but right at the end of the clip, she gets a sad, small expression on her face.

    She knows it ain't happening.

    Makes a lot more sense than calling everyone "my friends"...
  • Ken Clark · 1 year ago
    Yeah the "my friends" line last night was really pissing off my roommate. He was like you're not my f'ing friend.
  • MontaniLliberi · 1 year ago
    Since watching McSame speak is now a form of torture I'd say the "my fellow prisoners" label just about fits.
  • FunMe · 1 year ago
    Down and deeper he goes into oblivion.

    which is exactly what we will be if they take this election. FUCK THAT!
  • fostert · 1 year ago
    You know, I've been in jail. But I don't remember McCain being there with me. I guess I had to be in Vietnam.

    If we are prisoners, then McCain has been the guard preventing us from being free. He was in Congress 26 years and for the last 8 supported the policies of Bush. So NO, Senator McCain, we are not "fellow prisoners" you held the weapons to keep us confined while you walked the street as a free man.
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    I hope someone takes this arrogant Senator to the wood shed over that statement, I really do. I am so very angry that this fake, this phony, who is trying to to pretend he has had no ties with the Bush and Republican administration is ONE OF US.
  • HereinDC · 1 year ago
    They.."the righties" bring up that Obama said 57 States.
    the problem is...that McCain has said about 2 dozen wrong things but they only have the 57 States thing to say about Obama.

    McCain is not well. and it's sad to think that people in the GOP KNOW this but are letting this happen.
  • artisticfreedom · 1 year ago
    Don't they make a pill for that?

    Some standard of 'clarity' there McNasty.
  • JoyceH · 1 year ago
    It's going to be fun to hear the spin the McCain campaign puts on this to try to make us believe he meant to say that - sort of like they tried to make us believe he really intended to dis Spain.

    As my mother used to say of her early-onset Alzheimer-suffering husband: "He's losin' it."
  • scottinsf · 1 year ago
    When did "my friends" become my fellow prisoners?.

    I don't like the tone he's taking.
  • KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago
    What is Sarah thinking? "Die, you old man, die soon!"

    That's what you say when the Romo and the Ambien wear off.
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    He does that stupid bounce a lot. It is like when he moves his arms up and down to make a point. Said before, when he does the arm thing it reminds of those little puppets where you pull a string and the arms and legs go up and down. AND NO, I am not making fun of his disability, this is a trait he has developed on his own.
  • sbobker · 1 year ago
    Fucker was really pleased with himself that he got that out. Let us know the real story. he the boss, you the prisoner. I think maybe what we're gonna have is a failure to communicate.

    And WTF is that little bounce toward the end. He gotta go potty or somethin.
  • FunMe · 1 year ago
    GEEZ ... Cindy McDruggie is now enabling him with her drugs.

    yeah, what's up with that stupid bounce?
  • Sage24 · 1 year ago
    I guess this could also be an indication that if this man is made President, we would all continue to be prisoners of the Bush/Cheney/Republican policies, that has been the downfall of this nation for the past few years.

    It is time to change direction, and be free of these scumbags.
  • Soundboy_jeff_meanie · 1 year ago
    John... it was taken out of context.

    you see... he was about to break into SONG!!

    CONVICT #1:
    Gotta sing ... sing!

    CONVICT #2:
    Gotta sing ... sing!

    JOHN:
    Okay, boys, break's over. Let's take it from the top.

    CONVICT #1:
    This is good! Hey Keating, put me in for ten grand.

    JOHN & CONVICTS:
    Prisoners of love
    Blue skies above
    Can't keep our hearts in jail

    JOHN:
    Tempo, fellas!
    Pick up the tempo!

    JOHN & CONVICTS:
    Prisoners of love
    Our turtle doves

    LIEBERMAN:
    Don't forget the balcony!

    JOHN & CONVICTS:
    Soon coming 'round with bail

    LIEBERMAN:
    Sing out, boys! Let 'em hear you in solitary!

    JOHN & CONVICTS:
    Oh, you can lock us up
    And lose the key
    But hearts in love
    Are always free!
    Prisoners of love
    Blue skies above
    'Cause we're still prisoners

    JOHN:
    Take it home, boys. We open in Leavenworth Saturday night.

    JOHN & CONVICTS:
    We're still prisoners
    We're still prisoners of love

    PRISON GUARD:
    Hey, McCain, Rove, Lieberman, good news! This just came from the governor:
    "Gentlemen, you are hereby granted a full pardon for having -
    through song and dance - brought joy and laughter into the hearts of
    every murderer, rapist and sex maniac in Sing Sing."
    You're free!

    LIEBERMAN:
    Free!

    JOHN:
    Next stop, Broadway!

  • kh7463 · 1 year ago
    I'm sure someone here has addressed this in the past, but as it's starting to surface again, I need someplace I can direct people who send it to me to. Someplace where I trust the people who are writing. I'm referring to this whack-job:

  • ccrnjr · 1 year ago
    When people send me right wing propoganda, I ask them why they are sending it. Most of it is just hate email from someone who has their own agenda or think they have an agenda. For too long, politics in this country has been seen as a sport where you are a team member. I know people who sacrificed their own self interest just to belong to the "winning" team. That was the republican team until two years ago. Now, their entire identity is wrapped up in calling themselves a republican or "conservative". I understand this and ask anyone sending me such rubbish to please not email me again.

    I have seen a lot of people sit around and blame everyone but themselves for their broken marriage, inability to have a loving relationship with their children or inability to stay at one job for any length of time. A lot of these same people are also changing churches, jobs and spouses--but it never their fault. For them, it is liberals, gays, minorities and illegal aliens that make their lives a mess.
  • Mark in Florida · 1 year ago
    You hit the nail right on the head. Republicans do not take responsibility for their vote. They don't own it.
  • Mark in Florida · 1 year ago
    These people are truly whack jobs. They are so paranoid and dilusional. If anything, McCain, it should be known, was not born in the US, he was born in Panama, central America. Why don't they make McCain prove it? Oh I forgot, he is white and looks like them.

    The people at the bottom of the reppublican party represent the worst of America.
  • HereinDC · 1 year ago
    I just heard McCain on another clip on the 4:00 news.
    In one sentence he got 2 words wrong.
    McCain mispronounced President it sounded like: "Preesshhhadent" ( President ) ( it was drawn out that long )

    and in the same sentence he mispronounced : homeowner
  • HereinDC · 1 year ago
    Is he REALLY that bad in reading teleprompters?
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    Nope, he is just losing it, seriously. He was up late last night ,had a stressful encounter, then out on the campaign trail this morning. He DOES NOT have, at 72, the stamina to be president

    That's my two cents and I am sticking to it.
  • lcdrrek · 1 year ago
    This campaign is beginning to remind me of the final season of The West Wing, the Alan Alda character suffered an injury to his hand and his campaign had to hide the injury lest he look like an "old man". Now we have issues with Johnnie's "fluttery eye", his getting confused and unable to find his way off the stage last week, now he makes this totally wierd statement "my fellow prisoners". I think it is time for his people to take him away and have a physician take a hard look at him, I don't think the American people are ready for a President with dementia.
  • Laura-In-CC (fka Doodlebug) · 1 year ago
    We had that already, remember? Ronald Reagan.
  • Mark in Florida · 1 year ago
    Dear god. McCain and his followers are so scary. Some moron in the audience is yelling something...I can't figure out what it is. These people represent the lowest common denomenator of this country.
  • vkobaya · 1 year ago
    I've got news for him. I'm not his friend. Neither am I a fellow prisoner. Gak! I know he is my enemy. He once was a POW for our country, and as such earned a name as a hero though hardly as heroic as some others. Now, his vile, disgusting, revolting efforts lying and undermining Obama sickens me and he has burned through most of the honor I would give him for his sacrifices for this nation. I no longer identify in any way with him.
  • minik · 1 year ago
    Seriously. Each time he said "my friend" I wanted to punch him in the face. Very, very presumptuous.
  • grasshopper · 1 year ago
    McCain still thinks he's in Hanoi. Last night he was shuffling around the stage like he was in a prison cell.
  • JustAnOldLady · 1 year ago
    If Joe Lieberman was there, he would at least have corrected him........Sarah just looks the other way...........
  • minik · 1 year ago
    This Freudian slip would seem to indicate he feels trapped.

    I would too if I had just debated Obama a night ago.
  • houstonray · 1 year ago
    Ha!! That was hilarious! I'm going to email that to some friends.

    I love how Sarah just sort of looked the other way, you know, one of those WTF? looks...
  • tlsintx · 1 year ago
    Sarah's thinking: Oh yeah, you betcha baby, I give this old fossil 6 weeks max and me and Todd are in the White House....

  • zavlin · 1 year ago
    He's losing it, god, hes really losing it. The best part of this is the irony of him saying "and the same standards of clarity" right after he calls americans his fellow prisoners.

    That is called a break in mental cognition. A flashback.
  • canuck55 · 1 year ago
    One could say that John was feeling the stress from his debate last night with Barack. But the flaw in that logic is that one assumes that he remembers his debate last night with Barack.
    His next comment after the clip was "is this where they pour the steel into the ingots?" (for all of you Monty Python fans out there).

    McCain may not be a great speaker... but he did stay at a Hanoi Hilton last night.

    Sarah Palin is quite the pitbull. From prison, Michael Vick said if he had a bitch like Sarah, he never would’ve lost a dogfight.

    Today, McCain-Palin rallies are turning increasingly ugly with crowds lashing out at the media and Obama. Tonight they plan to add Jews, Gypsies and homosexuals to their list.
    And tomorrow… tomorrow, the world.

    The McCain-Palin campaign is so covered in slime you’d think they just won a Kid’s Choice Award on Nickelodeon.

    So the Daily News reports that John McCain is taking a supplement that folks with Alzheimer’s and senile dementia are taking. Nice. The bad news is he’s taking it. The good news is that he’s remembering to.

    A lot of to-do over the fact that McCain referred to Obama as “that one” last night at the debate. Not that bad. Considering that during his debate practice he kept referring to Obama as Kid Chocolate, Mandingo-bama, and M.C. Bama, the Illest
    man in Illlinois, “that one” isn’t that bad.
  • rexkc · 1 year ago
    If he's referring to Americans as prisoners, he must not be very proud of America. When did he start hating America?

    Where has Jack Cafferty gone? He has been absent from the situation room on CNN. I liked listening to him, as he was pretty outspoken, but spoke the truth.
  • lov446 · 1 year ago
    Did anyone notice how unfriendly the people looked that were on stage with Barack? They seemed to ignore him after the debate when he wanted to shake hands? Did anyone else think that Tom Brokaw seemed to dislike Barack too? He was harsh I thought, and distracted from the debate. AFter all, was the debate about the rules and moderator or about the candidates??
