The McCains are hypocrites, who knew?

Cindy McCain is offended that Obama and the Democrats are attacking her and Johnny boy's wealth?  Give me break!

Cindy McCain doesn't like the Democrats attacking her husband over his confusion as to how many homes they own.  She doesn't like, seemingly distracting, attacks that detract form the issues.  Well, Cindy there are two problems with your argument.  

First, your wealth is an issue when our economy is floundering and the gap between the rich and the middle class is the largest since the great depression.  Average Americans are disgusted with McCain's obliviousness regarding the state of our economy.  It is a reflection of how out of touch he is and his unwillingness to even admit that there is a problem.

Second, the McCain campaign has done nothing but distract from the real issues during this campaign.  What relevance (or substance) does the celebrity claim have?  Obama worked hard to get where he is.  He came from modest roots and rose through his will and determination to graduate from the best schools in the country.  He fought for average Americans instead of working as a corporate lawyer.  His sharp mind and willingness to reason with his opponents allowed him to rise in the Illinois state legislature and eventually Congress.  Belittling his success by calling him a celebrity is offensive.  Cindy McCain, the same kind of self-absorbed hypocrite as her husband.

When will the McCain's stop insulting our intelligence and just go away?

As to Palin's lack of national security experience, Cindy McCain said, "Alaska is the closest part of our continent to Russia. So, it's not as if she doesn't understand what's at stake here. It's also about making decisions and be targeted in what she thinks. She has a great mind. And she has a very serious direction in where she goes."

I would be laughing hysterically.  The Republicans got nothing left.  Now comes the train wreck that is John McCain's political career.

This intellectual disability seems to be pervasive throuhtout a significant part of the U.S. population and particularly centered in the lunatic hypereligious right wingut groups.  Think about it.  If the rethugs say it often enough (the geographic location of Russia to Alaska) Palin will be the next Kissinger by time of the election. (by the way I think Kissinger is a dick but a good example).  Therein lies the problem.  In my opinion the next 2 months will solidify the hard base of the intellectually challenged republicans.  The swing voters and some of the population that actually cares about the country won't be "buyin it".  Hopefully as other TURKs and myself have stated, people will use their head, not to put it up their ass but to think what can happen if McCain and whatshername are elected.

Was so funny this morning. Scooping out all that water from a sinking ship. He kept blinking and looking away from Stephanopoulis as he told the lies and weak responses that even he didn't believe.

He even meekly laughed at his close relationship with McCain, "Not a lot of competition for that position."

Totally not cool calling a former POW a hypocrite. He suffered for 2.5 years like 60 years ago, that gives him and his extendid family and the Republican party a pass.

And, yes, that also gives him the C-U-Next-Tuesday pass as well, he was a POW.
