Geez, that stuff again? You sound like a broken record. That would have to be a 78 RPM record, since the 33 1/3 LP wasn’t invented until 1948, when McCain was 12.

Walt—- Knock off the Ethan stuff. You’ve got the wrong candidate there too. I was nice earlier. I didn’t even mention Wright, Pfleger, Ayers and Farrakhan. You’re welcome.

Socialist? Marxist? Is that all you got, Ethan/Wahoo? Name-calling?

Truth be told, not all of the REALLY far-left is that crazy about Obama, either, BUT they are pragmatic enough to know that Obama is way more preferable than McSame.

If you prefer somebody whose staff actually hopes (out loud and in public) for a new terrorism attack to boost the old guy’s status, go right ahead. Personally, I find it repulsive. Also, when you think about it, they’d better hope that we DON’T get another attack, because that’d prove that the current administration, and by extension, McCain, totally dropped the ball.

Oh, Lordy! The disciples of the socialist Messiah Obama are out.

Everyone loved the way your Messiah played the race card a few days ago in Jacksonville. What a “uniter.” Fake.

What does Obama stand for anyway? Hope and change? Who can argue with that? But there is not an ounce of substance to Obama, and he indeed is a socialist, even a Marxist, and he has every Hollywood wacko and far-left organization behind him. Which proves what he is about.

McSame accepted public funding and used it as collateral for a bank loan to finance his primary race, then turned around and rejected that same public funding. He was counting on Obama to roll over, play nice and be willie hortoned to death by RNC and Swift-boat mutli-godzillions. “I cannot control these ad” McSame now is crying that Obama is a pragmatic, shrewd, play-to-win opponent? Go Obama 08, and let’s throw the total-disaster Bush regime and McSame’s third term under the Straight Democracy Express.

McCain flip-flops pretty much every time he opens his mouth, but for a guy who based his so-called Maverick reputation in part on campaign finance reform, he shouldn’t be so quick to cast the first stone. For one, while Obama did pledge to take public funding, it is not against the law to then decide not to. McCain though, in the primary season, secured loans to his campaign with collateral based on the pending payments of cash from the public funding. He then tried, after he saw how much cash Obama was raising, to withdraw from public financing. The FEC said, “Sorry, Johnny, but you can’t.” The rules that McCain was trying to get around/ignore are part of a campaign finance law known popularly as…

wait for it…

wait, trust me, the irony makes it so much more satisfying to point out the hypocrisy of it all…
