HuskyCaucasian Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 (edited) This is how pathetic our politics have gotten: McCain issues a statement on the Obama "next president... Vice-President" slip- U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today issued the following statement from Ben Porritt, McCain spokesman: "Barack Obama sounded as though he turned over the top spot on the ticket today to his new mentor, when he introduced Joe Biden as the next president. The reality is that nothing has changed since Joe Biden first made his assessment that Barack Obama is not ready to lead. He wasn't ready then and he isn't ready now." That's damn pathetic. Really? Off all the tings you can attack on, you attack on this? Now to be fair, maybe he decided to not veto those beers and was indeed drunk when this statement was issued.

I wont blast mccain for a verbal mistake. i have no problem with poking fun at someone. but releasing pressers is dumb from a campaign. i didnt see Obama claim that McCain favors reinstating prohibition because he said he'd veto beer.

HuskyCaucasian Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 (edited) RNC Launches Biden Gaffe Clock The Republican National Committee (RNC) launched a new clock today counting the time until Sen. Joe Biden’s next gaffe. Just 12 hours after being chosen as Barack Obama’s running mate, Biden made his first gaffe at 3:31 p.m. EDT. The RNC’s new clock will count the hours, minutes and seconds until Biden’s next slip up on the campaign trail. Really????? If the DNC launched a McCain gaff clock, it'd have to rest every few hours. This is childish and petty. Edited August 24, 2008 by Athomeboy_2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually not. Not over stupid stuff liek this. I wouldnt start a gaff counter. There's a difference between making an excited verbal mistakes and not knowing the difference between the various Iraqi sects. I absolutely reserve the right to poke fun. Heck, I'll poke fun at Obama from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like something the Cubs would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tries to tarnish Biden a bit, focuses the media a bit more if he makes a big one, reinforces a "loose cannon" myth. Would have been a reasonable thing to do to the current fool in 2000.

Yes, I know, RSO the Messiah, the GREAT RSO, all knowing and all seeing, will fix it all for us. He's going to talk to everyone in the world, make them respect us, and gosh darn it, get us our "respectability" back, whatever the hell that is. If Europe loves him then doggoneit, we should too. There's just no hope anymore. I guess RSO forgot to raise his hand when he asked if HE was better off then with GWB took office. (Note: GWB has been HIGHLY disappointing. But not disappointing enough to bring in a borderline socialist as the leader of my country - and before you say I'm being Kaperbole over again, which to some extent I am, just wait. I'll prove my point later with RSO's own words - I've finally decided to "get involved"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
