    didn't he say something very similar during his acceptance speech in Minneapolis?

    My mother pointed out something to me the other day about John McCain and it is so true. Listen to his voice, and how it has changed over four years. If you compare his voice to that of even four years ago, it is shaky and weaker. His voice is no longer as strong and young sounding. He voice has aged A LOT! It is VERY evident in this clip comparing how he repeated his speech he gave for Bu$hco. today.

    Good God, did you look into those eye of that creaking old wind up doll? A vacant vacuum, an obtuse abyss. That empty old man is still lost in his own portable solitary confinement.

    Is there no one in his campaign who has any intelligence. They have done nothing but rehash old Republican slogans, then they stole Change from Obama. Then they labelled him a muslim and a terrorist and now it is the stand up call for America. I will remember that when I am sitting on my ass on the sidewalk outside of the Unemployment Office as John and Cindy sit in their Mohito bar at one of their houses and remember the 2008 election and wonder if they paid the taxes on all the homes and are the cars registered and what about the help are we overpaying those illegal immigrants==ungrateful bastards. Then its time to bed, John as usual puts on his heavy days Depends, Cindy snorts a line and wonders if there are any 60 year olds looking for a Cougar Mom.

    I think it is so funny that this is just another of DNC making McCains own words work against him.

    In a desperate attempt to be fair and balanced, the media is reporting, "Both the McCain and Obama camps both have a lot of angry and violent threats being shouted. One such example could be heard at an out of control Obama rally in which the hateful Obama crowd started chanting, 'Yes we can! Yes we can!' and other violent threats like 'Hope!' and
    'Change!'" The Obama campaign is being asked to not incite their crowd to be that optimistic and hopeful, and some have even threatened to call the Secret Service on one particular member of the crowd who dared to shout, 'America is ONE people! Vote for Hope! Vote Obama!' Of course, the McCain camp is equally guilty with their crowd chanting, 'KILL HIM!' 'Off with his head!' and 'Terrorist!' after being spurred on by Sarah Palin and John McCain's claim Barack Obama has commited treason by "palling around with terrorists!'"

    McCain offers tougher criticism of Bush economics

    VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Republican John McCain delivered his toughest criticism so far of President Bush's economic policies as he unveiled a new campaign stump speech that promised an energetic fight to reverse his slide in the polls.

    "We cannot spend the next four years as we have spent much of the last eight: waiting for our luck to change," McCain said while campaigning with running mate Sarah Palin in this once reliably Republican state that has become a battleground this year. "The hour is late; our troubles are getting worse; our enemies watch. We have to act immediately. We have to change direction now."

    The last time McCain claimed he had them right where he wanted them, he was flying too low and had a close encounter with a SAM missile.
