DISQUS

AMERICAblog: On the disparity between Viagra v. Birth Control, the Straight Talker said "I certainly do not want to discuss that issue"

    Viagra helps George Bush and Dick Cheney stand tall and stay firm in the war on terror.
    (Cheap joke supplied)

    Then, McCain yelled "Donuts with Sprinkles for everyone!"

    They all laughed and ate their donuts and forgot all about it.

    They ate those donuts and just laughed and laughed.

    The puppets certainly have their lines down....

    ---------------

    "I'll look at my voting record on it," he said, before an extended pause. "I don't recall the vote right now. But I'll be glad to look at it and get back to you as to why."

    McCain kicked out a librarian at one of this townhall events because she had a sign that read, "McCain = Bush." Why are the bush voters who voted for bush twice, now don't want the comparrison?

    Wasn't that the neatest bit of snark you've ever seen, that sweet old lady naively asking, "What's so offensive to a Republican about McCain=Bush"?
  • ron071 · 1 year ago
    glasses-guy points out a very significant reality. Screw up big time and then surpress the memory in the hope that you can replicate it. Just how stupid do they think the voters are? Please don't answer the question.

    BTW: Those losers on the Double Talk Express better realize that history is watching them, and there will be lessons in journalism schools about how not to cover campaigns based on their pathetic performance.
  • High Crimes & Misdemeanors · 1 year ago
    The oligarchy has already infiltrated journalism schools. if you would like to know more about that chk this lnk out

    Bush-Bites might consider that these " journalists" are doing precisely what their corporate media moguls/bosses WANT them to do.
  • tlsintx · 1 year ago
    this'll just earn him points with the geriatric evangelicals.
    nice people certainly do not discuss such topics.../snark /erp

    I'm a federal employee. My health insurance covers birth control, no questions asked. However, my co-worker, who survived prostate cancer, can't get viagra or cialis covered, which is actually a medical necessity in his case. (lack of blood flow to the organ can cause problems, I guess)
  • foolme1ns · 1 year ago
    That's two topics that McCain has declared off limits. He said that he doesn't want to talk about military issues as pertains to veterans (I suppose he was limiting it to veterans) and now he doesn't want to talk about birth control. How many issues will Mr. Straight Talk declare off limits?

    I guess that reporter is definitely not going to get that "special" seat on John McCains "straight talk" (yeah right) plane.

    No jokes until the last sentence, that is.
  • schoolnurse · 1 year ago
    What is it going to take for Americans, especially American women, to see that McCain=Bush will continue the fight against Roe v Wade and uphold the Global Gag Rule? How can we get them out of office? I didn't believe GW could win in '00, was dumbfounded that he won again in '04, and am worried that nothing will change in '08. I'm worried.
  • ron071 · 1 year ago
    May I suggest to schoolnurse that Bush di NOT win the two elections but was given the elections by the supremes and the Ohio Atty. General's machinations in key districts. There is an explanation of these outcomes and these seem to be correct. Obama's campaign must flood the precincts with poll watchers to insure that the thefts do not reoccur.
  • lilybart · 1 year ago
    Tell all those Hillary hold-overs to think hard about helping McCain win. I personally thing jeralyn should be shunned for running an anti-Obama site while pretending to supporting the DEM nominee. (talk left)
  • Diogenes · 1 year ago
    Is McCain wearing an ear-piece like Bush's? Those long pauses, staring into space, alway make me wonder if they're waiting for someone to feed them an answer.
  • Busboy · 1 year ago
    waiting for GOD?
  • Mikki --SE Pennsylvania · 1 year ago
    Maybe he is. At least his campaign people talked him out of wearing his tin-foil helmet. But the way his campaign is going, they might have done better letting him keep it.
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    Here's another one.

    McCain quietly axes his cap-and-trade plan for CO2.

    Shit honey if I had to look at THAT tacky Rodeo Queen, Viagra ain't gonna get the job done! He needs to inject TRI-MIX!!!!!!
  • Indigo · 1 year ago
    Those Freudian topics are off limits. McCain's PTL and 700 Club base would be offended.
  • Mikki --SE Pennsylvania · 1 year ago
    Why are they not offended that he committed adultery with Cindi until he married her? Given his history, it is not unreasonable to assume a lot more episodes of misconduct in his past. The man is a moral leper.
  • Milli · 1 year ago
    Jesus, he can't remember his vote or give his opinion off the cuff? Perhaps his lapses in memory are the reasons why Bush is so enamored with him - he's getting old, senile and controllable. Hmmmm, where have we heard this story before?
  • Õ¿Õ · 1 year ago
    Chimpy tours all the damage he's done:

    To refresh the memories of Abloggers, Fiorina is just another Rethug whore who thinks she knows more than she actually does.

    Who the hell would hire someone who singlehandedly took down Hewlitt Packard anyway with her fascist tactics? Oh yeah...
  • ron071 · 1 year ago
    How many issues are there about which McSame will not speak , does not remember, or answers with false information? How is it even possible that this guy could run for the presidency, and that any voter could seriously consider him as a viable candidate? I must be missing something.
  • hardeknox · 1 year ago
    Rest assured that he'll hear about it at his next town hall meeting, no matter how well filtered the audience. He'll be better rehearsed this time.
  • KISSman · 1 year ago
    Which is why we cannot elect a 72 year old president. Not only is this guy out of touch with the issues of today (the same man who does not even know if condoms prevent HIV transmission), but he doesn't even remember how he voted on stuff.

    It's nice to know that when it comes to the issues that affect the American people that he can't remember his votes or where he stands. I mean, how can you not say where you stand on an issue even if you don't remember your vote? You would think that however you feel would match your vote, no?

    This sure ain't the first time he had to check where he voted on something before he spoke about it. Just a hunch, but I bet McCain loses his car keys a lot too.

    "This sure ain't the first time he had to check where he voted on something before he spoke about it. Just a hunch, but I bet McCain loses his car keys a lot too."

    McCain is simply suffering from an acute attack of P.M.A. (politically motivated amnesia)
    It doesn't help that he is 72; and has to mentally juggle "republican talking points", "political spin" and "focus group responses". A good liar needs a good memory and needs to be able to deflect the question or feign ignorance.



    Oh! what a tangled web we weave
    When first we practice to deceive!

    Insane McBush3 is running for POTUS. As much as his "military experience" does not, I repeat DOES NOT, endow him with any special qualifications for that office, he needs to learn and understand that there are NO questions he can dismiss by simply saying he doesn't want to discuss it. The fact is his incredible shrinking brain can only keep a finite number of facts at any time; and its not enough to enable him to keep all his positions on every issue both clear and in his head. Hence the ongoing corrections of sorrogates, the lying in the recitations of his own stories and the inability to remember his own votes on issues he wants people to think him keen on. The more we see of him the more McCain unfiltered is pitiful; an angry little old man, kind of a less sympathic version of Regis Philbin.
    Note to the MSM still clamoring to ride the Double-Talk Express: Come on guys and girls start telling the real truth about McBush3 and his increasingly seedy and crooked supporters. Start pulling off the stinking bandages and show the public the rotting and putrid flesh beneath---the real John McCain.
  • MNUSA · 1 year ago
    I don't get it. What was so difficult about the question? He actually looks uncomfortable. This is the same guy who cheated on his wife and partied for years before he met his current wife? Yet he can't answer a question about the disparity between insurance covering Viagra and not birth control? I really don't get it.
