McCain: Maybe Cigarettes Will Kill the Iranians

Another comment that shows callousness towards his fellow man. By the way they have many more kids than we do with about 70% of their population at 30 and under. Vote 3rd party people.

Are bombs or cigs faster? Two dumb comments that McCain thinks are jokes. No wonder the Iranians want to develop nukes. John wants to use a combo of Raytheon and Marboro to finish these poor people off.

A typical disregard for human life from Mr. McCain.

What about giving them McDonalds, high fructose corn syrup and the like. They have done wonders for us. Maybe that has been Iran’s plan all along. Barr ’08

As long as those in high places continue to think of our fellow world citizens in this manner, chances for world peace is not very good. These careless, insentive remarks demonstrate just what kind of a president John McCain would make. I don’t believe military people be in the Whitehouse anyway. They are what we need in war, in the battlefield, but not in office.

To think of where my fellow republicans have gone is truly depressing. Does McCain really think this is funny? I will have to vote 3rd party this time.

ron – Carter wasn’t the greatest but Bush is much worse, and McCain is more of the same garbage. Obama is pretty poor as well promising things that we an not afford. Where is Ron Paul when you need him.

i mean something needs to kill them. they hate you americans. get it?

Kitty, poor Kitty. I don’t smoke, never have, never will so I am no hypocrite. McCain’s comments show a general disregard for human life. Many of us are bothered because people die under the watches of people like McCain. For a party who tries to protect human life in the womb, you folks don’t mind doing away with it elsewhere especially in places outside the US. Quit supporting these necon warmongers.

well, then ben, i wasn’t talking to you was i?

Add this remark to his “Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran” Chant-and he looks like a poor choice for “finger on the button” man.

Kitty – ouch!!! I guess not. Vote for Barr if you want a return to fiscal responsibility. You republicans have spent us into the ground. This will continue under McCain especially if we get to visit Tehran, and Obama will spend even more. Can’t believe you are defending McCain.

Kitty – Actually I work in the defense area building remote sensing radar systems to protect your arsse. However current policies oversees makes our job more in demand but very difficult. My recommendation to make fewer enemies by treating people with respect. I will put it in terms that maybe as a republican you can understand. We simply can not afford these wars.

Another one for McCain’s Greatest Hits:
– “At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you c*nt.” [to his wife Cindy]
– “Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno.”
– “Time was I could knock up Cleopatra just by winking at her”
– “Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran”
– “Maybe that’s a way of killing them.” [re: exporting cigarettes to Iran]
There’s alot more but you get the idea.

@Kitty
You are wrong.most iranians are good people.current us policies stir up antiamericanism.

Kitty-Independent ya right! I am too, but I did like Ron Paul. Republicans are going down with good reason. Get used to it.

Shows you where MCBUSH’S priorities are I agree with youy huh, maybe if we cleaned off our own back porches instead of the rest of the world we would be better off. I wonder how we would like it if a stranger told us how to live , what to manufacture, and what crops too grow. Talk about a dictator in the white house he is it

hey huh, well the jokes on you, buddy. if you think electing obama is going to solve all our problems, then you are well-suited to be a democrat. cuz we all know the solution to the world’s problems lies in the hands of a bunch of democratic politicians. and by the way, i like ron paul, too.

That not presidential material a good soldier yes a President no way. we do not need another a hole in the White House

Kitty-Actually the radars work wonders. The real way to stop terrorists is to take away the incentive to do harm. So far our policies of overwhelming support for Israel, having bases in the arab world, and threatening those that believe differently with violence only enhances the dangers. Remember our sanctions on Iraq over those ten years killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children. We should only expect some blowback.

Hey Kitty wake up don’t you think 8 years of hell has been enough

To the McHillary’s — this is what you get if McCain wins:
– 4 to 8 more years of GOP rule in the WH
– maybe 100 years more in Iraq
– likely bomb bomb Iran
– more conservative SCOTUS judges
– likely overturn Roe v Wade
– tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations
A real Democrat would never vote for John McCain.

huh? name one time when radar has stopped a suicide bomber with a backpack full of explosives. i sincerely applaud your effort to make my arse safer, but i hope you’ll forgive me for not putting my arse in your hands right now. my own personal solution is to start working my way off the grid so as not to have to position myself amoungst the masses whenever possible. hard to be a victim of a suicide bomber’s backpack when i’m not standing in line at the wal-mart for the latest playstation offering. (for example)

Here are some more troubling little known facts about McCain:
– Finished in the bottom 1 % at the Naval Academy
– Was known as a reckless pilot among his Navy colleagues
– Crashed five jets in his short career as a Navy pilot
– Member of the Keating 5 scandal
– Has questionable connections to scores of lobbyists
– Has serious anger management problems
– He was a womanizer and adulterer
– Divorced his first wife because she was disfigured in a car accident.
– Called his current wife a “trollop” and a “c*nt” when she did something to annoy him.
– Laughed off a comment about Hillary being a “b*tch” at one of his rallys.
– Made disgusting joke about Chelsea saying she was so ugly because “Janet Reno was her father”.
McCain is no honorable guy, in fact, he is quite a sleaze. Being a “war hero” or POW does not excuse this ugly side of his character nor make him qualified to be POTUS.

That’s a really cute joke. One that a psycho, hothead, that will get us into WWIII if we let him; thinks is funny. Obama ’08!!!

Kitty – We develop systems that do a myriad of applications including coherent change detection, foliage penetration and a host of other capabilities. I am not at liberty to say where they have been used. I brought this up because you accused me of being the Iranian’s best friend without knowing who I am. Go ahead and vote McCain, but you are asking for continued bankruptcy if Iran becomes reality. Obama is of course just as bad on spending so I am not going with him either. I am here to encourage people to think outside the box for a change.

ok, huh? you acknowledged the challenge, but didn’t offer an example. noted. and i am thinking outside the box. although registered independednt, i’v enever voted anything but democrat for president. so my voting for mccain is outside my box. and i wasn’t talking to you. remember? i was talking to people who smoke. you said you don’t. jeez, and you are college educated?

John McCain’s 2008 platform:
– Stop Global Warming
– Protect the environment
– Encourage people to drive more with a gas tax holiday
– Drill for oil near coasts of CA and FL
– Proclaim oil slicks a source of national pride
– Balance the budget
– Gut Social Security
– Spend $12B per month on Iraq
– Comprehensive immigration reform
– Build fence and deport illegals without enacting other reforms
– Proclaim “comprehensive immigration reform” does not mean comprehensive
– Appoint conservative SCOTUS judges
– Overturn Roe v Wade
– Proclaim Hillary’s female voters are his friends

The GOP may want to get another candidate ready. McCain looks like he is ready to implode.

I am voting myself in this election. I won’t get elected, but I know more than the two bafoons running under the banners of our two party system of perpetuated incompentency.

Lack of composure shows immaturity, and this guy may be 80-something, but he is too childish for the office of US presidency. Cheneys response to the fact that millions of Americans wanted the Iraq ordeal to cease was “So.” Who elected that weirdo?
Bush prematurely ejected a proclomation of *victory* in a “G” suit after climbing out of mail plane on an aircraft carrier. (sigh) Too many freaks, not enough circuses.

I don’t want Obama’s hands anywhere near the button.
This is an angry man who went to wright’s church for 20 years and nodded as American was being bashed.
Obama after wright made those 9/11 comments still praised him.
Obama calls father pfleger his moral compass.
Father Pfleger voted against farakkan.
Obama got a sweetheart land deal from crook Tony Rezko.

Imeant incentive, not inventive of the working class.. But in reality, I suppose I meant both.
Ignore my typos, I have testes and never spell check.

Dober Obama is the one with the immaturing announcing plans to attack Pakistan publicly.
McCain is the mature one. There is a difference between a joke brought up by a questioner and announcing policies.
McCain is the one with discipline in real life matters. McCain has the military discipline.
Obama is filled with RAGE.
Obama calls father pfleger is moral compass.
Did you see Obama’s church how they lept up as Hillary was being mocked.
Obama is close with terrorists like hamid.
Obama is close with ayres.
Obama 20 year relationship with wright.
Obama 20 year relationship with father pfleger who praised farrakkan then Obama invited him to Iowa.

Kitty, are you a man? I can see that you are ignorant by your poor grammar and writing(I’ll leave your politics out of this, you do have a right to your own beliefs)but you seem strangely macho for the name Kitty.

McCain is showing signs of mental and physical fatigue. He will be a basketcase by November.

Apparently McCain never schedules events on weekends and his campaign refuses to explain why. We can only assume it is because of his advanced age and health considerations that he needs to rest on the weekends to be able to keep up the fast pace during the week. This may be viewed as problematic since being POTUS often requires attention 7 by 24. By contrast Obama has been going non-stop for 16 months and still looks fresh as a daisy.

Hey Sean, what tightrope did you fall off of? McCains hands are so deep in Big Businesses pockets he’s sctratching their uh…feet. (grin)

John McCain still has not completely released his medical records. He only released a partial copy to a select group of reporters and then only let them view them for 3 hours — and no photo-copying. What is he hiding?

and then you wonder why those people hate us john mccain is an ignorant warmongering SCARY OLD MAN our days our over with him as president he will start war world three thats all he thinks about WAR BOMB WAR BOMB WAR BOMB

where is ross perot when you need him?

For the record: McCain, was not a “fighter pilot” during the Vietnam War — he was a bomber pilot. McCain flew the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk. This aircraft was used almost exclusively to drop Napalm, White Phosphorous, and Cluster Bombs on military targets as well as civilian ones. McCain himself admitted to dropping bombs on civilians — he confessed on “60 Minutes” in 1997, “I bombed innocent women and children.” Does that make McCain a war hero?

if you can’t hang with the big dogs, get your puppy arse back under the porch. this is what i’madinnerjacket will be telling “president” bah haha ha obama

Here’s a critical description of McCain from a fellow Republican:
In January, MS Senator Thad Cochran explained his decision to endorse former governor Mitt Romney, R-Mass., thusly: “The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine,” Cochran told The Boston Globe’s Michael Kranish. “He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me.”
==========
He worries me too. He is not fit to be POTUS.

McCain’s nonconcern for human life will be legendary by the time November comes around. Every time he opens his mouth, something stupid spills out. Plus, McCain cannot seem to get his political positions straight either. Updated McCain flip-flops:
* McCain supported the drilling moratorium; now he’s against it.
* McCain strongly opposes a windfall-tax on oil company profits. Three weeks earlier, he was perfectly comfortable with the idea.
* McCain thought Bush’s warrantless-wiretap program circumvented the law; now he believes the opposite.
* McCain defended “privatizing” Social Security. Now he says he’s against privatization (though he actually still supports it).
* McCain wanted to change the Republican Party platform to protect abortion rights in cases of rape and incest. Now he doesn’t.
* McCain thought the estate tax was perfectly fair. Now he believes the opposite.
* He opposed indefinite detention of terrorist suspects. When the Supreme Court reached the same conclusion, he called it “one of the worst decisions in the history of this country.”
* McCain said he would “not impose a litmus test on any nominee.” He used to promise the opposite.
* McCain believes the telecoms should be forced to explain their role in the administration’s warrantless surveillance program as a condition for retroactive immunity. He used to believe the opposite.
* McCain supported storing spent nuclear fuel at Yucca Mountain in Nevada. Now he believes the opposite.
* McCain supported moving “towards normalization of relations” with Cuba. Now he believes the opposite.
* McCain believed the U.S. should engage in diplomacy with Hamas. Now he believes the opposite.
* McCain believed the U.S. should engage in diplomacy with Syria. Now he believes the opposite.
* He argued the NRA should not have a role in the Republican Party’s policy making. Now he believes the opposite.
* McCain supported his own lobbying-reform legislation from 1997. Now he doesn’t.
* He wanted political support from radical televangelists like John Hagee and Rod Parsley. Now he doesn’t.
* McCain supported the Lieberman/Warner legislation to combat global warming. Now he doesn’t.
* McCain pledged in February 2008 that he would not, under any circumstances, raise taxes. Specifically, McCain was asked if he is a “‘read my lips’ candidate, no new taxes, no matter what?” referring to George H.W. Bush’s 1988 pledge. “No new taxes,” McCain responded. Two weeks later, McCain said, “I’m not making a ‘read my lips’ statement, in that I will not raise taxes.”
* McCain is both for and against a “rogue state rollback” as a focus of his foreign policy vision.
* McCain says he considered and did not consider joining John Kerry’s Democratic ticket in 2004.
* In 1998, he championed raising cigarette taxes to fund programs to cut underage smoking, insisting that it would prevent illnesses and provide resources for public health programs. Now, McCain opposes a $0.61-per-pack tax increase, won’t commit to supporting a regulation bill he’s co-sponsoring, and has hired Philip Morris’ former lobbyist as his senior campaign adviser.
* McCain has changed his economic worldview on multiple occasions.
* McCain has changed his mind about a long-term U.S. military presence in Iraq on multiple occasions.
* McCain is both for and against attacking Barack Obama over his former pastor at his former church.
* McCain believes Americans are both better and worse off than they were before Bush took office.
* McCain is both for and against earmarks for Arizona.
* McCain believes his endorsement from radical televangelist John Hagee was both a good and bad idea.
* McCain’s first mortgage plan was premised on the notion that homeowners facing foreclosure shouldn’t be “rewarded” for acting “irresponsibly.” His second mortgage plan took largely the opposite position.
* McCain vowed, if elected, to balance the federal budget by the end of his first term. Soon after, he decided he would no longer even try to reach that goal.
* In February 2008, McCain reversed course on prohibiting waterboarding.
* McCain used to champion the Law of the Sea convention, even volunteering to testify on the treaty’s behalf before a Senate committee. Now he opposes it.
* McCain was a co-sponsor of the DREAM Act, which would grant legal status to illegal immigrants’ kids who graduate from high school. Now he’s against it.
* On immigration policy in general, McCain announced in February 2008 that he would vote against his own legislation.
* In 2006, McCain sponsored legislation to require grassroots lobbying coalitions to reveal their financial donors. In 2007, after receiving “feedback” on the proposal, McCain told far-right activist groups that he opposes his own measure.
* McCain said before the war in Iraq, “We will win this conflict. We will win it easily.” Four years later, McCain said he knew all along that the war in Iraq war was “probably going to be long and hard and tough.”
* McCain said he was the “greatest critic” of Rumsfeld’s failed Iraq policy. In December 2003, McCain praised the same strategy as “a mission accomplished.” In March 2004, he said, “I’m confident we’re on the right course.” In December 2005, he said, “Overall, I think a year from now, we will have made a fair amount of progress if we stay the course.”
* McCain went from saying he would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade to saying the exact opposite.
* McCain went from saying gay marriage should be allowed, to saying gay marriage shouldn’t be allowed.
* McCain criticized TV preacher Jerry Falwell as “an agent of intolerance” in 2002, but then decided to cozy up to the man who said Americans “deserved” the 9/11 attacks.
* McCain used to oppose Bush’s tax cuts for the very wealthy, but he reversed course in February.
* On a related note, he said 2005 that he opposed the tax cuts because they were “too tilted to the wealthy.” By 2007, he denied ever having said this, and insisted he opposed the cuts because of increased government spending.
* In 2000, McCain accused Texas businessmen Sam and Charles Wyly of being corrupt, spending “dirty money” to help finance Bush’s presidential campaign. McCain not only filed a complaint against the Wylys for allegedly violating campaign finance law, he also lashed out at them publicly. In April, McCain reached out to the Wylys for support.
* McCain supported a major campaign-finance reform measure that bore his name. In June 2007, he abandoned his own legislation.
* McCain opposed a holiday to honor Martin Luther King, Jr., before he supported it.
* McCain was against presidential candidates campaigning at Bob Jones University before he was for it.
* McCain was anti-ethanol. Now he’s pro-ethanol.
* McCain was both for and against state promotion of the Confederate flag.
* McCain decided in 2000 that he didn’t want anything to do with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, believing he “would taint the image of the ‘Straight Talk Express.’” Kissinger is now the Honorary Co-Chair for his presidential campaign in New York.
Straight Talk Express, indeed!

McCain is a fool in intelligent clothing

Kitty – I know! as Craig Ferguson says. That is why the list is so frigtehning -soon McCain’s flip-flops will consume an entire blog.

McCain, Obama, it’s all the same folks. Wake up. We’re given false choices like this all the time in our elections. Do you really think we’ll pull out of Iraq if Obama wins? No, we won’t. We’re fighting a false war people. 9-11 was an inside job and we’re fighting a false war. Resaearch it people, and wake up fast.

Give it a Break, people! That’s the 1st thing I thought of when I read US sells tons of ciggarettes to Iran. Maybe the ciggs will kill them. My mother-in-law wouldn’t quit smoking & they killed her. She would of Lived years longer but she was always dieing for a cigg. Excuse that one too. Besides, their Lungs & our Lungs all function the same,it’s a No Brainer. BTW I like John McCains energy policy too. And his agenda to help make more jobs. America wants & needs jobs, not welfare. America is in debt enough, McCain will at least make a serious dent in trying to balance the budget. That will make the dollare stronger too,& with more jobs we can start to crawl out of the HOLE Bush & Cheney put us in.

Sandy
Quite a list you got going on there. How long did it take to make it out, babe?
But you know, it is really information overload.

Obama 328
McCain 210

I am an Iranian Christian. I have always loved US and have been there too.
This kind of irresponsible comments will have bad effect on US image among Iranians.
This is not a Christian way. I am sorry to hear that. this does not help. The government of Iran has nothing to do with all people.
I am sorry that people in America do not know that there are a lot of Iranians who love them and government views is not always their views.

HonestAbe is a wuss .. read his posts – go have a beer girly man!

You are vile and disgusting and should be banned. (MJ = MuffJob??)

MCBUSH also has a score to settle with Vietnam don’t forget. He comes home from that war or conflict and cheats on his wife a man does that how far can you trust him and I am writing Hillary in come November

CNN’s John Roberts went after McCain and his budget plan this morning – Roberts will not be sitting in the special section of the ‘Lap Dog Express’ McCain’s camp has reserved for the ‘good’ reporters.
Today’s New York Times came through with a double-barreled shot at McCain, publishing one piece pointing out that McCain’s economic policies have slithered all over the ideological map, and a second piece noting that his balanced-budget promise is, well, complete horse-bleep. McCain has no idea what is happening to the economy or what to do about it – all he has to offer is more Bush rhetoric.
This morning, in another interview, McCain was asked if the country is in a recession – his answer? “If we’re technically in a recession or not, I would imagine that we are, but the major thing is, Americans are hurting, and Americans don’t like it and they think the country’s in the wrong direction.”
What you have here is McCain’s political problem in a nutshell. If he acknowledges that the country’s in a recession, then he has to explain why he’s basically offering a continuation of Bush’s economic policies. If he doesn’t, he looks out of touch with Americans’ economic pain. Out of touch -I hear that phrase a great deal in relation to McCain.

HORSE-HOCKEY !!!

The Commander Guy – I know – sometimes I get carried away – I am so tired of hearing about Senator Obama’s flip-flops so I started keeping track of McCain’s.

HonestAbe – your post about bombing with cigarettes is awesome. I laughed pretty hard. Just make sure they are lit so the second hand smoke can do its damage.

HonestAbe – Is that like the exploding pencils that the Iraqi dude was speaking of days before we unlawfully invaded?

Thank you Sen. McCain with another variety of BIGOTRY!

Maybe MCBUSH’S military land warfare is why he was captured no land fighting experience-Obama claims he pushed the wrong button twice and asked to have his vote changed 6 times and 96 times his vote was present now is that a yes or no vote. MCBUSH is no good and neither is Obama the only republican worth voting for was Ron Paul and Hillary is the only democrat

sandy – There is no such thing as a no vote unless you stay home. I am voting for Barr who doesn’t stand a chance, but at least I won’t feel bad afterwards.

Obama Lied While Iraqi Children Died
Pre-Impeach Obama!
No Blood For Socialized Medicine!
Get rid of Obama and his NeoDem Facist Thugs!
Wait a second, conservatives don’t talk like that…this type of group think is reserved for liberals! My mistake!

I Thank OBAMA is a very smart man,,to smart to choose John KERRY for his v.p.why would he choose someone who lost to George Bush? That would b a great mistake,OBAMA to smart for that..He has my vote if HILLARY is his v.p.TEXAS FOR OBAMA AND HILLARY

He’s a fruitcake.
When is somebody going to pointedly ask him whether his plan for balancing the budget is increasing payroll taxes OR cutting social security and medicare.
I swear I can’t believe people who will get sucked in by another dim light bulb politician, letting him skate by with his half baked political agenda… he’s nothing but more of the same as bush.

Depression2008HereWeCome – Vote for the person who best represents the constitution then. If not Ron Paul then go with one of the lesser known candidates that is not bought.

This is the sort of campaign gaffe McCain has never been able to control. Is this what “experience” means? And what happens if he makes a ill-timed “joke” while President? Fair Q’s…
http://www.political-buzz.com/

I find it humorous that Obama smokes like a train.

WHO IS Obama?? The only way to really tell is to look at the people to whom he has looked for guidance!! Wright – racist Black Nationalist, Ayers – unrependant US terrorist and scores of other piece of works!! Is this the guy you want to be Pres of our Country?? ARE YOU NUTS!!!

McCain either wants to bomb the Iraqi people, kill them with cigrattes, or kill them with small pox. Since when are the Iraqi people themselves to blame for what is happening in their country? They did not ask to be invaded or occupied, they did not ask that thoudands of their civilians including children should die, the Iraqi PEOPLE did not ask for any of this. But good old BUSH wanted a legacy for his presidency – so thousands of people have died including our own young men and women – to give Bush a share of some pages in a history book. Some legacy!

He’s hysterical, and I adore him.

I see Backtrack is trying to woo the Latino votes by giving, under his health care plan, millions of illegal immigrants health care coverage at American citizens expense, give illegals drivers license, and now, wants all children to be bilingual. His health care plan will cost $60 billion, and plus, Backtrack wants to raise the Cap tax which will trickle down and have a negative effect on everything in our economy. Backtrack will bankrupt our economy even worse than it is now. Obama has no idea what it means to be President and I’m so glad he will lose in November. Also, I think its GREAT that the Veterans of America are starting and spent $2 million on a negative ad campaign against NoBama. It’s great that he is being vetted and has lost his appeal to the media! McCain 08!

A third world war wilkl be the USA against the world since we have no allies better think long and hard about who u vote for a certainly don’t want a war monger and why is a write in for Hillary a vote for McBUsh

Okay, Johnnie was playing with fireworks again and got burned (again). We thought the medicine would make him stop, but apparently we will need to adjust his dosage. Thanks for your patience.

And if you view the electoral map Obama leads McCain 317 to 221

Who cares if he means what he said or not? I don’t care one’s rats a** just bring gas back to something us working people can afford. Do something for the people in America and the hell with everyone else I am sick of all of it.

Vanessa, for you, heres the link:
http://gallup.com/
Now, Backtrack, even though he is an “oreo” has stated that he is African American….therefore, he is a racist in his comments. Please leave the kids out of it, however, I know that Dems will even bring kids into the campaign if it means pandering for votes, as Backtrack NoBama is doing now. So, do your research before you post!
McCain 08!

Obama.
OK. He has, I think, maybe got the idea about Iraq. That is War 101. But, now we have Iran/Israeli question. Hold back, that is second semester; Patience Obama You have another chance!! DO YOU IDIOTS REALLY WANT THIS INTERN DIRECTING THE US of A??? I don’t think so!!!

@ Manitu…excellent post!
Backtrack NoBama has NO idea about war…he wasn’t even a boy scout….however, since the Prez of Iran endorsed NoBama, I’m sure they’ll work something out to screw America…! What an IDIOT NoBama is!

Are you serious. They are spinning a Joke? You guys need to get a life. I found the humor in the quote.

Manitu – I know many people that would have made better policy decisions than Bush, and they have zero political experience. This type of experience only counts in rigging elections and slandering opponents, not in making good decisions to benefit the US.

http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/daily_presidential_tracking_poll
Obama is an African American. If you knew nothing of his background what would you assume of his ethnicity? Imagine Obama calling himself white or trying to pass himself off as a white American.
In the old days one drop of AA blood you were consider an AA.

sandy, so the jews & innocent jewish children didn’t ask for the Holocost. The Iranian president denied the Holocost & wants Isreal wiped off the face of the map. The jewish people did nothing, it was the Gov’ts decisions, yet the people suffer. Why should Iran be different? It’s Irans Gov’t that does not care for the Iranian people. Not US.

Republicans are looking at an Obama landslide.
McCain leads in NO traditional blue state. While Obama leads in Virginia, Colorado, New Mexico, Iowa, Indiana, New Hampshire, Montana, and tied in North Carolina, Missouri, and Nevada.

Voteing McCain – A mistake was made in 1948, clearly. The Holocaust did occur, and the Iranian president is a fool for thinking otherwise. He needs to go just like Bush. The current situation involves Israel continuing land grabs for settlements in the West Bank, and Israel demarcating the Palestinian territories. While I don’t agree with the violence of Hamas, Israel should be resisted hard for these atrocities. The Iranian president supports this resistance which can be seen as legitimate.

It is just SILLY to compare McCain’s experience with that of Obama’s. COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION!! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?? OBAMA SUPPORTERS DON’T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT OBAMA BELIEVES AND NEITHER DO I!! GOOD PRESENTATION, BUT WHAT ELSE IS THERE?? NOTHING!! DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT??? THIS GUY IS AN AIRHEAD!!!

wilder5121:
Paul was the only rep with a brain. Their debates had one question that lasted 20 minutes in which Romney and Juliani argued over whether or not Romney hired illegals to work on his house. What a bunch of morons. Final nail in the coffin is right, and to think I have always been a conservative. How sad.

Vote McCain – I will respectfully disagree. In the recent past, those with experience, namely Cheney and Rumsfeld and company, have done us great harm. Again I respectfully disagree, but know what you are saying.

Voteing McCain – you are not for real- right? Deaths of innocent people seem to mean no more to you then they do to Bush or McCain. NO ONE asks for what happens to them – not during the Holocaust, not during Batan, not during the Tsunamis – your disregard for innocent life is unbelievable – just because ignorance and the drive for power has overcome people like Bush and McCain is no excuse for it ever happening again. You are one sick dude!!

Is this an official McCain/RNC press release or shall I simply chalk your expulsion of verbal excrement up to your inherent proclivity for being a righttard blue-eyed devil?
Keep it coming smart one. I’m one of those “oreo”‘s, that’s got material for days on end. I know you more than you’ll ever know me….I am the American Dream. You’re a distant memory.

Hey libs – get otta college and go start a business – then we can talk on equal terms!!! Other than that – you are just blowing farts in the wind!!!

Manitu – Come on now. Surely you are enjoying a good debate. If everyone agreed with you, this would be pretty boring, and what is wrong with blowing farts to the wind?

I see a lot of Backtrack NoBamabots posting negatives about Bush, however, it seems that the “centrist” NoBama is more in line with Bush’s policies than McCain! I’m glad McCain is distancing himself…all he has to do is watch Backtrack’s campaign implode! I knew when Schmidt took over the reigns of the McCain campaign that it would be over for Bactrack. Schmidt is a mastermind and will leave no stone unturned in bringing down Backtrack with all the negatives that has been squelched by the DNC and the mainsteam media.

Will, people might take your comments a bit more seriously if they didn’t show all the mental dexterity of a backward 10 year old. What makes you think playing kindergarten games with people’s names amounts to reasons political discussion, or convinces anyone at all? Your comments seem rather more motivated by bile than by reason.

John McInsane is showing signs of demensia,that’s why he needs Lieberman at his side to keep reminding him of the many things McInsane has forgotten.These two are scary,more of Bush only senile.

Sandy: Iran is responsible for a lot of American Soldier casualties and fatalities ! So who do I weep for ? Our American Armed Forces ! McCain 2008

McCaibn 3rd term of Bush. That label will always stick b/c it’s factual true. McCain voted 95% of the time with Bush.
McCain economic policy Bush
McCain health care policy Bush
McCain Iraq war policy Bush
McCain drilling Bush
McCain immigration Bush
McCain abortion Bush
McCain Justices Bush
McCain Bush

McCain’s line is kind of funny for a co-worker to say. Not so funny for a potential president to say. It is time for him to start acting presidential.

Manitu – Enjoyed it really. I ran for delegate on the republican side in NM, and had lots of good debates, one with Heather Wilson’s husband. Take care.

Who’s running for the presidency? What happened to two terms presidency? Is this constitutional?

Just what we need- a President that thinks it’s funny to make jokes about killing people…

Sandy with Obama leading in the polls, one can only hope that people will open their eyes & see Obama for what he is. If McCain doesn’t get the WhiteHouse & Obama does – It will be by a great delusion & a Huge Woe to this country, no doubt.

McCain is a loser..
McCain is a vile idiot.
McCains sons hate him…
McCain needs his meds and a diaper!!
President of the trolls and bubbas!!

Come on, Ben – “We have made native Americans prosperous in this country.” You live in NM and so do I – I do not see many “prosperous” Native Americans walking around our state – what I see is reservations with no electricity, no running water, not enough food, no heat…some Native American communities have made it big with their casinos – many others have not or have no access to casino funds because they have no gambling rights.

Anyone who thinks negotiation is possible with the terrorists is delusional at best – AND THE TERRORISTS WILL TELL YOU THAT THEMSELVES – THAT IS THE WEIRD PART!! GET IT? NO? YOU BETTER!! OBAMA IS COMING AROUND, I THINK. MCCAIN HAS ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD THAT CONCEPT!! NITE!!!

sandy – Didn’t say it was perfect. Isleta just did a $100 million restoration. Sandia casino a few years back did an extremely expensive build. They are doing quite well in that sense. You are correct most live in poverty, not because of money, but rather education and will power to succeed. American Indians do have opportunities. I didn’t bring up the American Indians. I was responding to a previous post explaining the differnece between the Palestinian situation and that of the American Indians. Thanks for your inputs. I know a few folks that are installing solar ovens out at the remote reservations for inexpensive cooking. More needs to be done though.

Dave.
Have you ever seen the movie “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest?”

Isabella-789 – well it looks like Iraq is going to do that for us – they want us out of their country – even though Bush and Cheney are denying what they can hear with thier own ears. So, if we leave Iraq, as requesed by that soverign country, what happens to McCain and his war agenda? Nothing like having the rug pulled out from under him.

Manitu – You make some reasonable points on negotiation. I like to ask the questions: How did we get here, and what caused the current hatred. Hopefully we will nail down some answers. ‘Till tomorrow.

Ben – I agree – some of the Native American tribes have done well but I have taught on reservations in NM and AZ and the conditions were deplorable in most of them. Much still needs to be done but one of the things I have observed in my travels is the discrimination of other races toward the population of people that were here before immigrants were.

sandy – Good night.

Manitu – Then explain why negotiations have been made with terrorist groups throughout history…
“Maybe that’s a way of killing them.” is a joke that sounds like the ‘unable to negotiate’ part is on the McCain/Bush side. Please… Terrorists don’t negotiate?

McCain has his personal faults, but I’ll take them befor Obama’s personal faults. Sitting in a racist church for 20 yrs listening to “G” – “D” America, just for beginners, tells me he’s Not Qualified to make decisions as President.

“Obama would not be good for our country” We’ve had eight years of Republican misrule, lies, and deceit. Four more years of that would not be good for our country.

You Americans are so sensitive and soft and will surely suffer defeat rather easily. So soft and wimpy.
Issam

republicans are the most scary bible thumping warmongers i have ever seen. they make the king of england our founding fathers fought against look like a saint. i will absolutly guarantee that if everyone of our founding fathers was here right now they would be starting a new revolution against everything the republicans stand for.

As for us Native Americans.
Listen up!
90% tribes where forced to live on land that cannot be used for agriculture so they where meant to starve. They where stripped of their livestock and their fisheries where poisoned so that they starve. They have no water irrigation to pump water to grow even the simple veggies. Some where forced into the swamps in the South and in the North they where forced in the mountains to starve. Only a hand fill of Tribes own casinos, the other make do..

I’m not sure if that was a dumb or stupid remark.

when will we commom everyday americans take back this nation from the rich and republicans. we the people not we the rich white man.

They have no health clinics built near them so that if they get sick, most hospitals won’t take them because they don’t have insurance.
Truly most Senators Dems and Reps don’t care for the Natives in their states.
McCain is the worse of them all. He give more respect to Mexicans in his home State because they are a big voters bloc. Most Natives in AZ hate and want Obama to win the Election.
Some Native are not even made US citizens, which a crime of humanity..
We have Natives in jail for not letting their children attend schools meant to strip them of their Native traditions…

why is john mccain so obsessed with killing people? i think he is a sick old man who needs help. he is the wrong man for the white house. what a sicko!

CAIN will not only kill all Iranians. CAIN will finish US all.
No moral or truly religious people will vote for someone called CAIN whose wife makes money out of promoting vice and alcoholism. CAINs are sinners as well as anyone who votes for Mr. CAIN.

I agree, I don’t think McCain should have made this remark. I do, however, think that it is being blown way out of proportion here. I can see where McCain has a lot of resentment toward Iran, as many Americans do. I think he was, maybe, thinking of the leaders that hate Israel and America so bad that he was referencing this remark. I don’t know. However, the Iran/Israel turmoil is escalating and I would rather have McCain in office than Obama. Experience does matter in foreign affairs.

left radicals
enjoy the sense of humor

Ugh. McCain is gross. He’ll probably die of an aneurism soon anyway – the sclerotic old red faced freak has a head that looks like a freezer bag stuffed full of raw chuck. He’s one rage-attack away from a massive stroke. Totally gross and not sexy like Obama.

Lovely. So much for diplomacy. McCain is the joke.

dont worry my fellow americans mccain and most republicans will be voted out this year so we dont have to have them embarrassing us around the world anymore.

Chattyway for president. Sometimes, it seems hopeless to try to explain this to people, Chatty, but we must keep up the good fight.

Maybe if McCain is elected he will die of old age prior to 4 years being completed.

That’s McCain for you…a typical Republican.
Wants to kill ALL Iranians…even the one’s that love and respect America and have family here.
What a joke the old b@st@rd is.

no this if mcwar gets elected we will go to war with iran and they will use weapons of mass destruction and thus ends the world as we know it.

oh, tom, i used to be one of you. i really did. but then something happened, and i saw the world from a bigger view. if the iranians want to buy american cigarettes and kill themselves with them … well OK! we realy should be talking about where obama would be smoking if her were ever to attain the presidency. will he be smoking in my whitehouse? outside on the front porch? if he gets cancer, will his insurance company drop him at some point?

kitty—- over half of the presidents this nation have had have smoked in the whitehouse. for thousands of years smoking was ok now in the last 20 years it is evil. and i see the world just the way 72% of americans do that is we need to take care of ourselves and stop putting out noses into other nations business. we are not the world cops. and if we are these nations need to start paying us. because the working class people of america cant pay it anymore. if the rich and republicans want more war then they hsould pay more taxes to pay for it and send there kids to war instead of us poor kids that have to go and die so cheney and haliburton can get rich.

Tim writes ” …I can see where McCain has a lot of resentment toward Iran, as many Americans do…”
really?
i wonder what % of Americans know why radical students stormed our embassy, took the hostages they did in the ’70′s?
because in the 50′s, under the British promting pres. Ike, we help throw a coup, paying Iranian thugs to run through the streets of the capitol yelling “long live Communism, long live Mussadiq!”, trying to link one of the first demorcratically elected president in the Middle East to Stalin, during the Cold War. why? because he was going to nationalize Iran’s oil from Britain.
ever here of British Petroleum (BP)?
we installed the puppet goverment of the Shah, who’s secret intell. tortured, killed anyone in jail raised a voice.
those students stormed the very embassy the Brits and Americans used to stage the over throw, of a president who was a securlarist, NOT an Ayatollah, not a fundamentalist.
i wonder how fellow Americans would respond if China or Russian over threw our goverment?

I have baby pictures of my mother holding me and my twin as newborns in the hospital-smoking a cig. Attitudes change, they come with facts! McCain is an idiot for stoking a fire like this!

What an idiot

That sure does show some great leadership qualities eh?
And by the way ABC Pittsburgh is spelled with an ‘h’ on the end……….

What rubbish this reporter writes! One clue is the reporter can’t spellcheck the correct name of the city. It’s over the top when it appears the reporter expects us to believe that telling a joke at a pizza shop is worse than Mr and Mrs Obama plying their young daughters in a nationwide TV hollywood interview for a hopeful campaign advantage…how low can they get? where is the equal time for the other candidates?

Makes me laugh to see all the obama supporter get all bend out of shape about this. You have more serious things to think about, liked how obama going to put all of us in harms way if he elected president.
Don’t get stuck on stupid, move on already.

Tom, you didn’t read the Koran very closely. There is instruction to conduct jihad which is every muslim responsibility and duty. Jihad is not considered just some evangelical support like christian missionary work. From some muslim friends, they explained that this means if you can’t physically fight, then you need to donate money to the cause. People like Farrakhan, Hamas, etc. have endorsed Obama – it’s like you need to check the facts more closely. Where do you think all the money that Obama campaign has received comes from, don’t you ever wonder about that?

alexander m. – never did any other person, who wasn’t even the official nominee for president -yet, ever have their children engaged in a hollywood interview. Yes, there have been kids having fun like on the whitehouse easter egg roll, but never before using them in this way to pander for their parents. Obama is the first to cross this line, which shows his poor decision-making.

joe——go read a unradicalized version of the koran. and it doesnt say anything about making jihad.

And what is this about different versions of the Quran? That is ludicrous, there is only one Quran.

John McCain has some serious problems. The McCain/Bush policies will not solve any of the current issues our country faces.
Find out more about the real John McCain:
http://johnmccainreport.blogspot.com/

No tom you are wrong. there is only one quran. there are different transmissions (different spellings and punctuations)but they still mean the exact same thing. for example, the writing of the Quran according to Hafs transmission in surah 91:15 reads “wa la yakhaafu”, while the writing of the Quran according to Warsh transmission in surah 91:15 reads “fa la yakhaafu”. No difference at all. So to answer your question, no; there is no different qurans.

This story is actually very significant, because it’s not the first time McCain has callously joked about killing Iranians. I’ve known people like him, the kind of people who’ll tell you an offensive racist joke and really be surprised when you don’t think it’s funny. He has shown everyone what he thinks of Iranians; NOT JUST THEIR LEADERS, but the PEOPLE, and I think we should be asking ourselves why he devalues those lives and who ELSE he might have that attitude about….to me, it’s a VERY alarming character defect, and not one I want in my president…beside that, Obama’s kids’ interview is fluff.

McCain talks about killing Iranians in the same way he talked about killing “Gooks” (Viet Cong) 40-years ago. He seems to have forgotten that only 30-years ago Iranians were our friends and attending flight training with him. Killing is apparently easy for McCain. If you give him the chance, he will kill your grandchildren in the Middle East just as Bush has killed your children in Iraq.

Oh, come on, take a joke…
I’d say the big news is that people are more willing to express ageism against McCain than they are racism toward BO.
I say, age before beauty!

It is inappropriate for an American politician, a national and international role model, to joke about death or injury to others especially if the joke might pertain to any particular cultural group or definable element within a society. And for us here in America, it certainly would be less than desirable to have politicians from other countries make such jokes. Politicians must exhibit excellent judgment because their conduct has influence and implications for many people both on a national and international level. In contrast, a comedian on stage can of course joke all over the place about things that a politician could never dare dream of saying; but then again a night club comedian would probably bungle political decisions all over the place. And conversely a politician makes decisions affecting a much wider audience than any comedian could ever humor. Understandably, no doubt just about everyone at one time or another thinks of something stingingly funny, or is reminded of something painfully humorous, but it requires an important restraint of character and valuable employment of discretion for one to subsist from that sense of reward that a joke may seem to bring but in reality may prove to be at the expense of others and lead to further undesirable ramifications and future unforeseen implications-possibly negatively affecting those beyond perceivable levels of understanding. Therefore, as the old saying goes If you don’t have something nice to say about somebody it is better to say nothing at all, is even all the more true for politicians when it comes to gauging the value of coarse humor at the possible expense of others. Politicians who are ready to drop a bomb of a joke on the public while they are in public service would do well to maintain a similar attitude about coarse joking at the expense of others as the authorities do in public airports; namely, that is that it is a crime for anyone to joke about that which could jeopardize the safety of others. In conclusion, it is sad occasion indeed-although apparently a needed occasion-that a story such as this has surfaced; a clear indication that personal political advisors have not sufficiently cautioned this politician never to tread the forbidden territory of publicly expressing coarse humor at the expense of others.

If McCain gets in I want to go to another planet! No one will be safe on this planet with him in the drivers seat. I really hope you yanks don’t vote him in. Have some sense, you are just about to get rid of the biggest loser of all time. Please don’t exchange him for another. Don’t waste your vote it effects everybody on earth.
Ps I live in Australia all the way downunder. Your vote affects us too.

Wow…Homer has an anger problem that has me chuckling…is he a McCain supporter or Obama supporter?
Thanks for the laugh.

This is not a joke actually it should be called sarcasm. Do you really want a sarcastic president. Not me

This shows a terrible lack of judgment. This guy has no human sensitivity. He is worse than George Bush.

Nutter, plain and simple!

I’m all for fighting wars via bombing—-it was stupid of Bush to get us into a land war where our troops could more easily be harmed. Bomb the mosques where the terrorists hide, don’t go house to house in search of, and stop giving them opportunities to harm ours.

georgia – Obama should do a public service announcement. Let’s hope our missiles don’t strike Iran as well. Seem to me McCain, Bush, and the crazy Iranian president should all retire. Let more rational folks take the reigns.

Not only is the erstwhile McCain admitting that cigarettes cause early deaths but the sadder fact is they are killing many fine Americans daily, at the behest of the well-heeled corporate whisper kissers, the GOP(gulp our poop) Party. As they would say in the UK Parliament…here…here…no need to go that far…hiss…boom…wheeze…

geevill – I did see Obama smiling while playing basketball. Does that count?
Posted by: Ben Straub
******************
Yes it does count Ben, his playing basketball is a joke, he shoots like a girly-man!

Ben, you make a point about missiles, but what? Iran is the country threatening to blow Israel off the map. They really want to control the region by nuclear weapons and missiles. We cannot be isolationists. You are right, however, we do need rational people making decisions. Bush has made too many mistakes and bad decisions. Obama is too green. McCain has the experience and judgement to get us out of Iraq with security for ourselves and the Iraqi people. He knows what the big picture is. This is no time for light weights and the inexperienced idol who is constantly backtracking to clarify or “refine” his words.
He probably could do a public service announcement on the dangers of smoking, when he quits.

McCain is both an idiot and total pandering phoney. Just look at his flip-flops!

McCain is more of a commodian than a comedian

McCain proved his unworthiness again today – he did not have the courage to show up and vote on the FISA bill even though a not healthy Ted Kennedy did – he did not show up and vote on the GI Bill but then took credit for its passage. McCain’s flip-flop list is so long – it would take 4 postings just to get it all in – McCain flip-flops more times then he changes his underwear. Then, there are the Bush castoffs working on his campaign including Rove. He has a list a mile long of the lobbyists who work for him. He cannot tell Sunnis from Shiites, does not know the difference between Sudan and Somali, calls his wife a cu** and a trollup, in public yet, needs Liebermann tied to his hip in order for McCain to keep his facts straight, tells horrible, demeaning jokes about the Iraqi people, the 300-economist list released by McCain in support of his economic plan was a sham, he described social security as a disgrace and then was dumb enough to keep his mouth going and stated: “Americans have got to understand that we are paying present-day retirees with the taxes paid by young workers in America today. And that’s a disgrace. It’s an absolute disgrace, and it’s got to be fixed.” Of course present-day retirees have always been paid their benefits from the taxes paid by current workers. That has been true from Social Security’s inception. This from a man married to a multi-millionaire and he gets social security checks himself for 100% disability plus his military pension, need I go on….?

McBUSH was to busy telling jokes today to even show up and vote on the “FISA” bill..He is such a barrel of laughs..He is almost as funny as Bush, who is the laughing stock of the world.If McBUSH, does not win in November he can quit his Senate job and go on Saturday Night Live. Him and Bush would make a great duo..They would make you laugh until your sick..WELL SICK ANYWAY…

sandy: You go girl! I’m right with ‘ya’!

People including the media always stress that Iran is an enemy of America. However, it’s never mentioned why that’s the case. The US had the CIA overthrow the democratic Premier of Iran in 1953 Mossadeq and install the dictator/tyrant the Shah who was supported by the US and encouraged his brutal oppression on the population. The situation under the Shah got so bad that the people actually welcomed the Ayatollah. Just as the British oppression of Germany after WWI was so bad (see the Treaty of Versailles) that the German people actually welcomed Hitler.
So once again McCain thinks he is justified in killing other people and overthrowing a foreign government (see how well that worked in Iraq – in another generation there will be an Ayatollah running Iraq too). If (God forbid) McCain gets elected, he will start a war with Iran, which has about 3 times the population of Iraq and is 4 times the size. McCain will need to draft US citizens to get the manpower for another war, oil prices will double, we will be paying over $8 per gallon and our economy will make the Great Depression look like a party. McCain’s two “jokes” should frighten us more than the Iranians. McCain is Martin Sheen’s character in the Dead Zone and Obama is Christopher Walken’s character.

georgia – I will respectfully disagree. I do not want McCain anywhere near the oval office. By the way, why didn’t the US condemn Israel for their war excersizes in the Persian Gulf. I think what I am trying to point out to you partisan bloggers is that their is a huge double standard when it comes to various countries. Don’t worry about Israel. With 100 nukes, many aimed at Iran, they are not going to be defeated. I remain partial in this discussion, being that I will not vote for either McCain or Obama. I just like calling you guys on the constant fear mongering.

The mock outrage of these posters is great. When did Obamabots become the sour-faced, holier-than-thou snobs…
I, and the rest of America, sort of chuckled. That is certainly cheaper than occupation…was my first thought.
I am trying to figure out who I would least like to have over to a cookout, oversensitive Obamabots, or Fred Phelps, that guy who protests gay funerals.
Not sure anymore…

It’s spelled P=I-T-T-S-B-U-R-G-H.

Ben, Respectfully, this is not fear mongering. It is reality. Put us in Israel’s shoes. If a neighboring country of ours, Colombia for example, had threatened to wipe us off the face of the earth, what would we do? No country is isolated anymore against modern weapons. We prepare for ourselves militarily and diplomatically, and hope to get it right. But, we will not take our defenses for granted. Neither should Israel. John McCain understands all of these issues. He is the most experienced and qualified candidate running.
McCain ’08

I totally agree that every country has a right to protect itself. So if Israel bombs Iran, and Iran rains missles down on Tel Aviv, please don’t post any more double standards.

hey
