StrangeSox Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 16, 2008 -> 01:53 PM) I don't care either, but it was a pretty dishonest ad. Yes, it was. Obama has had a few more that have stretched or distorted the truth ("100 years" was definitely taken out of context and made out to be more than it really was). I think some of McCain's ads blow anything Obama has done out of the water, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 (edited) Did anybody watch the charity dinner Obama and McCain went to? It was pretty funny. I missed McCain's bit but my wife told me he was funny, I have to catch it later. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/al_smith_dinner I lol'd at the part when Obama was making fun of his first name saying it's Swahili for "that one," and that his middle name "was picked by somebody who obviously never thought he'd run for president." Then he said he'd have to be honest and that they'd be hearing some October surprises about him, that his middle name was actually Steve, not Hussein.

There was a point in my life when I started palling around with a pretty ugly crowd. I've got to be honest. These guys were serious deadbeats. They were lowlifes, they were unrepentant, no-good punks. That's right. I've been a member of the United States Senate. Come to think of it, John, I swear I saw you at one of our meetings.

I've seen him a lot on MSNBC and he's talked about Obama glowingly. Not that they agree on everything, but he has always liked him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMonkey Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 there are a fair amount of conservatives ready to throw in the towel in order to blow the whole thing up and start over.
