I'm not really a John McCain apologists ... but do understand why people choose to not respond when someone calls a United States Senator a "Drama Queen," or takes a man that was tortured in a prisoner of war camp and clearly has some physical challenges, "Emperor Palpatine." I think there are some that view that as not worthy of response. Maybe posting that sort of thing in the Star online, or some other online trash rag ... you know, kind of put those things on the level they actually rate. [;)]

Dress you up in them dresses like the pictures, maybe slap you around once in awhile, by god; you'd be a prize. Ron

That's an easy way to avoid answering any questions about those statements. I don't think it's going to work out well for him. In this age of multitasking, even among those who don't suspect that he's using this as an avoidance tactic, it does seem a weakness for a potential president to be unable to focus on more than one serious issue at a time.

Well he certainly hasn't been acting Presidential lately ,has he.

LOLOLOLOLOL, You WHINEY AMERICAN BITCHES!!!! That's why you are not as happy as republicans, it was in a poll. Phil Gramm (on behalf of John McCain) furthermore, your attitude is what is losing the war in Iraq........against weapons of mass destruction, Saddam, terrorism, whatever we say it is because we need total control or it wont work.....

See, I agree. I think cancelling participation in the debate was unwise and not very Presidential. I would agree with some that have suggested that this debate is very important, and that being able to multi-task is important for someone that wants to be President of the United States. That however, is a good point, and on point ... important to the election to be sure. The banal attack-dog, name calling crap is just noise.

[;)] John McCain's experience as a POW is lamentable. That does not mean he can run for president and say anything he wants to.

quote: ORIGINAL: RacerJim quote: ORIGINAL: slvemike4u It's been a lousy week for McSame, hasn't it? Truth be told, NObama began the week anywhere from 3 to 10 points ahead of McCain depending upon the specific poll but has fallen into a virtual tie with McCain. McCain-Palin = "Country First" Obama-Biden = "Me First" Which says exactly what? That it was a political ploy by McCain? Should we all applaud him for his duplicity in stating "Country First" while he was strategizing to make his campaign first?

Look who finally caught on.

Hi caitlyn You mean you can't see how someone would call him a drama queen? The sky is always falling around him... no one can point out a failing of himself or Palin without him screaming like a baby...poor put upon McCain..He walks out on or refuses interviews because of what some newscaster says...Come on you need thick skin as a president...you cannot go off half cocked like he does. It may work OK for a senator...but not a president. And where does it say we must respect someone because they hold public office? What is there to respect about him? Many have served their country honorably..that does not make him anymore special than you. Butch

Get over it :-) : obviously, you don't get that politics are also show-business and mass entertainment. I like the name calling at times: it's cathartic. Paradoxical, isn't it?

caitlyn -> RE: Drama Queen McCain Decides to Participate in Debate (9/26/2008 8:23:14 PM)
Perhaps your politics is show business and mass entertainment ... mine is the serious business of picking serious people to do a serious job. Every poll taken and study done shows that the vast majority want more fact-based campaigns, free from personal attacks, general bullshit and all around swiftboating. It seems that roughly the same group is unwilling to stay off these thing, when it comes to attacking those they don't agree with. And we wonder why we are left with the choices we have.

kittinSol -> RE: Drama Queen McCain Decides to Participate in Debate (9/26/2008 8:26:54 PM)
As long as you have a two-party system, you will get jabs and veiled and not so unveiled insults. This is a highly mediatised culture that we live in. It's not always ideal - but I would worry about more serious things than comparing McCain to Emperor Palpatine (and I'm afraid there is a resemblance). Anyhow... you pick your battles, as they say.

bipolarber -> RE: Drama Queen McCain Decides to Participate in Debate (9/26/2008 8:38:14 PM)
kdsub, Now hang on a minute. I take jabs at McCain a lot myself. But I'd be the first to say that the man's service to this country, both as a POW, and as a senator, are acts that should be commended. I don't like McCain anymore because he's changed drastically since 2000. He is no longer the "straight talker" No, now he's the "Maverick" or the "Change" candidate... the one who engages in shitty attack ads, and who resorts to pulling rabbits out of his ass to keep himself in the polls. There's plenty to respect about McCain's record... unfortunately, there's also plenty in his record that proves that he is NOT presidential material. (written post first debate)

I wonder where her indignation was when some people here refer to Senator Obama as a "clown." Yeah, she'll have some reason why that's somehow different.

If you had taken the time to look, you would have found that I'm pretty consistant in my vocal dislike for this sort of discourse, no matter the leader involved. There are not as many "pointless noise" posts on this board coming from the right, for obvious reasons ... there are not as many right-leaning people here and a few of them, FirmHanky and Thadius, are posters that can make a point without name calling. As an aside, this post actually made me laugh, considering I just got ejected from a mostly right wing leaning board for pointing out how distasteful it was to continually call a United States Senator, a "Magic Negro." Good try though. OK, not so much ... [;)]

(written post first debate) I never said he should not be commended...just that he is not special because of his service...many served their country honorably. The fact that he was captured and held prisoner is not something that makes him a hero...or makes him presidential. It is hypocritical of the Republicans to use McCain’s military record as an attribute for his presidency when they disparaged a true military hero in Kerry. Butch
