KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago

One of his problems his is voice; it's got a tendency to rise in pitch at the end of sentences, especially when he gets exercised about anything. It's also an old man's voice, lacking firm tonal quality. He doesn't have a natural smile (unlike Obama), so when he's scripted to smile, it looks even more painfully false. He also seemed as if he were reading the speech for the first time, instead of practicing it enough in advance. This teacher gives him a C-, the kind of grade he habitually earned at the Naval Academy.

his delivery conjures horrible memories of junior high speech class.

Obama will eat McCain for breakfast at the first debate. It'll be all over.

Well, I hope it lasts until McCain flys into a stuttering rage. We need at least that to finish it off. We deserve at least that for everything we've been through.

I read another comment where the poster said "When McCain smiles she hides her children"

His smile is scary it's like he reads "insert smile here" from the teleprompter

I copied this from a commenter over at http://www.sadlyno.com/ because I think its worth repeating:
So, when is the press going to start shouting about McCain’s liabilities? He gave his speech tonight from an all-white, all-Republican suburb 15 miles away from New Orleans, but opened his speech with pride at being “in New Orleans”. ‘Cept he’s not. He’s at a $15k-per-plate fundraiser in the whitest part of a white suburb in Louisiana.

ron071 · 1 year ago

This is no surprise but rather a characteristic of the Republican dream machine. The legacy of the Republicans in New Orleans is as clear as can be and so it was a disgrace that he avoided New Orleans for this event.

For the first time in my adult life I can say I'm proud of the direction we're headed. Gah, I hope the powers that be don't do something to stop it. Ya know, that's always in the back of your mind. They had better not.

John, we'll stop calling you Bush when you grow a brain.

Oops. That's not really possible. Pff...

There is something wrong with that garbled mess of a campaign he's running.

Ok thsi is just sureal now ...BUSH congradulated Obama jon "winning the nomination" before Clinton ......OY !

ron071 · 1 year ago

The Bush " congratulation " was as sincere as the HR Clinton one-whenever that comes forth.

Aanya · 1 year ago

John McCain is an absolutely horrible speaker! Unless the networks keep cutting him off, I don't know how we'll make it through the pain of being forced to listen to him droll on and on. The only thing worse that hearing him, is seeing that hateful smirk. I don't believe he smiles ever for the sake of a "smile"! Every single time you see that smirk it's either accompanying a "lie" or an "attack"!

tlsintx · 1 year ago

an interesting take on what to do about Hillary...
put her in charge of health care reform, but not as vp...

ron071 · 1 year ago

I agree with tisintx but will she accept it? She would if this was really her passion as she often claims it to be. Thus far HRClinton has been an obstruction to real reform. Each day, and in each way, she indicates her sole interest is HERSELF. Her changes in positions are seeemless for those who don't track her carefully.

He's a kept man, living in his wife's nine houses and sucking on her rich assets. Wait 'til a 527 or the VP candidate get under his skin while Obama maintains the high road.

ahaque · 1 year ago

I felt sorry for McCain, he seemed out of touch and out of place. Still he should not be under estimated as he comes across in a friendly way to blue collar white voters and older voters. He is almost neck and neck with Obama in polls. But I suppose this will soon change as Hillary is off Obama's back and he can now concentrate on McCain.

LawMichigander · 1 year ago

The one question I have (I don't know the answer) is what happened to the McCain we knew in 2000? Remember during the 2000 Repub. primaries when McCain went to meet with Bush and his cronies and they scared him to drop out and he came back from the trip and the footage of him getting off the plane looked like he had been threatened. What did the Bush people do to him? He doesn't act, think, or do anything that made him so popular and he used to be a Change candidate. Can someone please do an investigation on this, seriously.

ron071 · 1 year ago

The answer to Law Michigander's question seems clear to me. McCain would have to get in the Republican line if he wanted to get their future political support. Mavericks don't gain acceptance in the Republican Party. Just ask Ron Paul, Bob Barr, Chuck Hagel, etc. Little mystery here. Therefor the new John McSame.

osage · 1 year ago

Clueless, irrelevant, impotent, embarassing, humiliating, dreadful and self-destructive. Republican leaders are already putting together legislation that will prohibit televised debates, live interviews and town hall meetings for presidential candidates. If that doesn't work, they're going to proclaim that McCain is an advisor to President Bush and due to the needs for Executive Privelege, McCain will not be allowed to speak publically to the American people until after Bush is no longer President. It's going to be a slow, painful and lingering death for the Bush Republican Party......and we'll be able to watch it over and over again on YouTube well into the 22nd century.

ron071 · 1 year ago

His 95% Bush-supporting voting record says as much about McSame as his 5th from the bottom academic finish at the Naval Academy. These two facts tell of the amazing similarity of Bush and McCain ( McSame ). Cursing and denying do not the facts change.

therepguy · 1 year ago

The American people, those that make less than 200K will not stop till Obama is in the White House and that is the end game!

Viceroy · 1 year ago

Oh come on! McCain's speech was not brilliant, and Obama is a better speaker - when he has a prepared script. But to cite DailyKos or the Huffington Press as sources of objective and meaningful analysis is just childish and dumb. McCain could have given the Gettysburg Address, and those sites would have panned it. Doesn't anyone care more about the truth than about their self-serving personal agendas? Is it really "if it is good for me, it is right, and if it is not, it is wrong (hell, a five year old thinks that way). I haven't seen a single critique here that has anything to do with facts, reason and logic, just emotion. Are we not supposed to be debating the ultimate welfare of the American people as a whole and not what benefits certain special interest subsets? Or is that asking too much of liberals?

Is McCain conservative on the cultural wars? Pretty much, but then so are most Americans as in vast majorities opposing open borders, gay marriage, affirmative action etc. Does McCain believe that the federal government should limit the scope of its activities as much as possible. You bet, and so do most Americans. The problem is defining those limits. Does John McCain believe in a strong national defense? Absolutely, and so do almost all Americans, the only problem is defining what that means. Reality check: you take away war fatique and economic fears, two transient issues, and the American people still pretty much believe in the same things as George Bush. For instance, do you really believe people want their taxes raised? Do you really beieve they want to declare defeat in Iraq and run? But don't believe me, just go ahead, and wait until November. I remember having exactly this same argument in 2004, when President Kerry was elected.
