Independent Group Running TV Ad in Colorado Accusing Obama of Attacking McCain’s War Wounds

what is wrong with his mind then? He claims to have invented the “blackberry” yet he dos not about email. Come oh – this is a weak attempt to portray Obama in a bad light – you people are sick to twist the truth around – no better than the conservatives of the late 50′s/early 60′s who did not want blacks to vote

Basic Question – What disability does Senator McCain have that has stopped him from using a computer? He is not incapacitated.

He cannot use a computer because he never bothered to learn. I do not pretend to know the extent of the mans war injuries or want to dissmiss the pain and suffering he did go thru. People who are blind use the computer, people who are paralized use computers,people with all sorts of siaabilities use computers. McCain’s choice to not even bother learning is his choice not a handicap.

This is a scurrilous attack that ignores a rather large and troubling fact: John McCain, who uses his war hero status to promote himself whenever possible, admitted that he DIDN’T KNOW HOW to send an email. He said that he is “ILLITERATE” when it comes to computers. So the attack is not on McCain’s war wounds, but his ignorance of an everyday working reality for millions of Americans. In today’s technological society, it’s pretty hard to imagine a President NOT KNOWING HOW to use basic technology.

Jake – ABC should be ashamed of that new poll. What kind of news organization has ABC turned into?
This poll assumes 16% more Democrats that Repubs and that is wrong.
I am absolutely fed up with the MSM.

Two Words: Stephen Hawking.

Some of the rocks from the Rocky Mountains are in these people’s heads. The mudfest from the right wing is now in full slide.

How desperate.
My dad lost a leg from Vietnam and he runs.
My niece has spina bifida, and she uses a computer.
Stephen Hawking cannot move at all, and he uses a computer.
I have a blind friend who also uses a computer.
This is ridiculous to try and insinuate that McCain’s technological illiteracy is a result of a war. If McCain were so disabled, he wouldn’t be able to drive a car or go golfing. (He does both).

I’m not going to lie, the GOP and this independent group is pushing this in a way that does kind of make people laugh. I doubt McCain would want people to feel sorry for him. If I was this group, I wouldnt remind people of John McCain’s handicaps. That gives people a reason to not want him to be in charge.

Jake, think you are a fair journalist and you give your opinion in your articles. Don’t you find it hard to believe the Obama was going after McCain’s injuries in his ad. The ad was more about changing with the times not war unjuries. I can’t see many people buying the McCain ad since Obama goes way out of his way to compliment McCain for his service.

all anyone can say is “ugh”
is that why he doesn’t have problems with a microphone or flipping burgers on the barbecue …or anything else that is almost exactly like typing on a keyboard
suddenly he can’t type on a keyboard so that means he can’t surf the net?
there are quadraplegics who surf the net
that’s it hit a new low the McCain campaign…
the worst ticket in our nation’s history
seriously
Mccain Palin

Can we please get over the POW bit. Next thing is he needs help in the bathroom because of his injuries. Give us a break.

i realize in your quest to anoint the chosen one as our next supreme leader, you are “forced” to take liberties with reality and the truth to destroy all who dare oppose him, but the more you lie and deceive and use ignorance and arrogance to prop up the candidacy of obama, the more likely his candidacy will fail on november 4th…..and in no way am i voting for mccain or obama….(i actually have morals)

Using a computer is the easiest way to communicate with the world?
I thought you had to be in top physical form to use the computer.
Aggh… I am a dolt.
Because I cannot figure out how McCain’s disability keeps him from using a computer.

the level of vitriol and disrespect many find acceptable when “supporting” obama makes me ashamed to be a registered Democrat (since ’92)

McCain said, “I’m learning to get online myself”. Technological espionage is a national security issue. It would behoove us to have someone in office who understands the Internet. We’re not in the 1950s or the 1980s for that matter. Times change.

Where there’s a Will, there’s a Way.
I think what the Obama ad referenced, is John McCain “out of touchness” with the age of technolgy. Let’s face it ,Stephen Hawking uses a computer. So if he wanted to, he would be able to do the same. And another thing,if people don’t wake up and stop being lead down the wrong path. Do we OWE Senator McCain the Presidency, because he was a POW? How does that make him MORE qualified? If anything, and I certainly respect what he went through, but it seems that he was really out of touch with the war because he was secluded as a POW, and gained No experience AT All.

John McCain doesn’t use a computer because he doesn’t know how. I have hundreds of older men who come into my store who don’t know anything about computers. It appears to me they’re just too lazy to learn. I’m 71 and love my computer.

i swear to god, the more comments i read from people supporting either mccain or obama makes me realize that the doomed economy is not a mistake, just a well-deserved punishment for the general stupidity of our populace….

I do not understand how comprending how to use a computer, and a war wound is the same thing?
McCain was not wounded in the head. Why do people think, he would have had a head injury, in the war?

geevil
maybe Vanessa is here …to gloat.
good for her.
only time gloating is good
is when you have asinine morons fighting for the past year using the same beliefs and logic and tactics….that got our country in the mess and damage that we are in.
You better believe that when it is all wrapped up there is going to be a lot of happy comments on here telling people that tried to throw our country under the bus…for a freakin third time…
saying “We got our country back, we got our country back…it may have been beaten down for 8 years…but we got our country back from the losers that did it to her!”

are they saying that disabled people don’t use the internet?
is that the stupidest statement yet in this campaign.

If McCain really wanted to use a computer and do email, there are plenty of adaptive technologies and tools out there that he could use. Sorry, this dog don’t hunt.

the fact of the matter is that Bill Clinton practices better the “politics of change” that obama supposedly preaches then his own supporters….the fact of the matter is that the many supporters of obama have reduced themselves to mirror images of the neo-conservatives who supported dubya for so many years, by way of their arrogance and ignorance against anyone who dared disagree with them…..this current presidential election has devolved past anything i have observed in the past elections, not so much because of how they have turned so negative (thanks to the decidedly anti-American karl rove and his spawn), but because of the grand expectations obama gave with his “inspirational” speeches and promises…..he keeps attacking the republicans for not talking about the issues, and then he or his campaign or his lemmings cry about anything else but the issues……WE KNOW THAT THIS CURRENT ADMINISTRATION IS THE WORST IN HISTORY……the question is: what will the next administration do to fix America? both mccain and obama are guilty of talking in abstractions and playing the blame game……i don’t care anymore who broke it, i want to hear how they will fix it….and eloquent words alone won’t do it….

I believe Biden was behind the ad.

I thought when the ad first aired the public judged it to be not making fun of war injuries – because use of computers is far more dependent on cerebral exercise than physical (when devices for disabled users are factored in).
If his brain isn’t working well, what is he doing running for President?

when all is said and done
the buck and the blame does not land on Bush or Mccain
the buck stops with the blame with the people who voted for them.

It would be nice if ALL veterans had the opportunity to have good health care recovering from their war injuries. The Disabled American Veterans publish a list of how members of Congress voted on veterans legislation. McCain, the POW war hero, received a horrific 20 out of 100 while Obama received a 92.
Here’s just a few reasons why McCain receives such a failing grade:
– Voted AGAINST an amendment providing $20 billion to the VA’s medical facilities. [5/4/06]
– Voted AGAINST providing $430 million to the VA for outpatient care “and treatment for veterans,” one of only 13 senators to do so. [4/26/06]
– Voted AGAINST increasing VA funding by $1.5 billion by closing corporate loopholes. [3/14/06]
– Voted AGAINST increasing VA funding by $1.8 billion by ending “abusive tax loopholes.” [3/10/04]

It is getting ridiculous isn’t it?
McCain Palin the worst ticket in our history.

You know why so many blogs have Republican letters? Because the Republicans have made a concerted effort to flood the newspapers and internet with pro-McCain. It isn’t that the writers necessarily believe what they are writing; it’s that they are getting paid to write it.
Most interesting story about the spin machine that is the basis for the McCain efforts on the internet this morning. They have a backroom factory doing this sort of stuff.
Never ever trust a Republican. That is what this election has taught me.

13 cars… but he cannot drive a single one!

Jake,
There are lots of devices people with disability can use in this age in order to help them use computers. Being a disabled person myself, I hate to find excuses. But that’s beside the point.
The ad seems to calling on people to have pity for McCain and vote for him simply because he has some disability. I am not sure the old McCain himself would have wanted that. It would be nice though to see how the new MacCain reacts to this.

“It is getting ridiculous isn’t it?
McCain Palin the worst ticket in our history.
More like Obama/Biden and McCain/Palin the worst tickets in our history.

I do not think John McCain stopped defending our country because of his war injuries. But when he stopped defending our border and sided with illegal immigration he stopped defending it.

Well I guess John McCain was lying when he said he was learning to use a computer, since he clearly is prevented from doing so by his war wounds.

OMG… do they not stop… do people not realize what we are going to be up against the next few weeks, not to mention the next century because of the Republicans and lack of any governing. Crap.

Kris,
If you read the politico it also sites that the abcnews poll asked when leaning.. the Democrats grew to 16%. But in actuality the Dems were represented by a 6% margin which is in line with the ID democrats and republican.
You can’t defend McCains dip in the polls. Now that the focus is on ACTUAL issues the Republicans are scared out of the box.
No more lipstick on the pig.
Nov 4. McCain/Palin: “Thanks, But NO Thanks”

Reading your words carefully, Mr. T, I have a question. Is this group running the ad or saying they are doing so? Are they simply getting you to bite on the ad and publicize it? Are you doing their work for them?

his injuries not the other soldiers injuries make it impossible for them to use a computer. which was the point of the ad. This is another distraction ploy. period.

“If you read the politico it also sites that the abcnews poll asked when leaning.. the Democrats grew to 16%. ”
Give it up. The poll is an outlier. He lost ground in the Gallup poll.

Has nobody ever heard of a voice-activated keyboard?
JerfyT,
————————————
Those are the kind of devices I was referring to in my post. At least, I am not the only one.

Mack
it’s you that needs to give it up
Obama is whipping his but because shockingly we actually are talking about issues, the problems we face and focused on our need to get out of them.
so Obama is growing in his lead…
and if we stay focused on what a President actually does…that will continue.

Swift Boating all over again.
Pissant 527 with undisclosed donors runs a tiny ad buy then relies on the chattering classes to discuss it.

if you really want something to be ‘a scared’ about:
Oct. 1st: Military starts Martial Law Mission, no more posse comitatus, heads up ‘unruly crowds’
first time a dedicated military unit to be used in the U.S. for ‘crowd control’.

Swiftboat me once, shame on me,
Swiftboat me twice, shame on you.

I run a real estate development company. I can use my computer pretty well, even in some of the complex proforma and project scheduling programs. I could be better if I spent the time to learn, but I have people who do it for me and give me the summaries. I can’t use the CAD/CAM architectural and engineering programs, but I have architects and engineers for that. Oh. wait. They don’t actually do it themselves, they have people to do the CAD/CAM.
They’re called interns.
My 8 year old daughter knows almost as much as I do about the computer. Big deal. She consistantly beats me at Lego Star Wars on the Wii, too. I don’t even try her 12 year old cousin on Grand Theft Auto anymore.
But if I was really interested, I’d take the time to learn.

He said he will fire SEC Chairman Christopher Cox for the Wall St debacle.
Soon he will ask to fire Bill Gates and Steve Jobs for his incapability to use the internet or computer….
George Will’s column snippet for Washington Post:
“… It is arguable that, because of his inexperience, Obama is not ready for the presidency. It is arguable that McCain, because of his boiling moralism and bottomless reservoir of certitudes, is not suited to the presidency. Unreadiness can be corrected, although perhaps at great cost, by experience. Can a dismaying temperament be fixed? …”

Yeah, he really can’t use email! Get him! He’s out of touch no matter what Biden says.
Sheesh

I can’t see how this ad hurts Obama. It’s a transparently lame excuse. Most older people have been forced to learn how to use the computer in their workplace.
This ad just reminds them McCain is part of an elite class… That he doesn’t have to use the computer.
Instead, he goes golfing and stuff.

Mack,
You liar.
The Gallup Poll is Obama +3, same as yesterday.

The sad thing about the polls is that Obama has done absolutely NOTHING to warrant them tilting in his direction.
I find nothing in Obama’s past or present that justifies giving him my vote, rather I find just the opposite.
And exactly where is Obama in the midst of the economic panic??
Holed away in Florida cramming for his Friday night debate with John McCain like some college kid who has partied all semester and now has to get down to serious business.
And this guy is going to fix our economy with an all-night cram session?

People should read Smedley Butler’s account of the planned coup against FDR.
There are lots of historical parallels. A bunch of rich conservatives were cared of FDR so they planned to overthrow the US government and install a new government, sympathetic to their business interests.
It’s all part of the public record. But conservatives don’t like to talk about it. It gets in the way of their flag waving.

blip….mccain can’t even lift both arms over his head, but he can find a way to play golf?

correction, mccain can’t lift both arms, without pain, over his head, and he would enjoy playing golf?

Jake,
A few questions:
1. Why do you continue to beat this dead horse?
2. Why can John McCain flip BBQ on his grill, but he can’t click a mouse button with one finger?
3. Why are people more outraged about Senator Obama telling the truth about John McCain’s computer literacy (whatever the reason), than they are about the McCain campaign lying about EVERYTHING?
4. Why is nobody talking about the
Keating 5, when John McCain put pressure on Federal Regulators to go easy on his friend Keating? Sounds just like Sarah Palin and Troopergate, huh? And what about Cindy McCain’s involvement with a Keating Real Estate firm, a CLEAR conflict of interest for John McCain?
Which is more relevant to the countries future – John McCain’s involvment in a HUGE SCANDAL involving the financial sector or John McCain’s “hurt feelings” that someone would dare mention that he is not keeping up with modern society?

oh wahhhhhhh
he doesnt use a computer because hes out of touch and has no idea what a computer is…
his war wounds… cmon im sick of this pow bs he pulls all the time
mccain has said he doesnt KNOW HOW to use email and a computer not because of his war wounds
but suddenly its all pow pow pow

And for those who try to link Obama to a terrorist, well Bush is done a great job of putting this country into this ditch, the terrorist do not need to wait their time attacking us.
It took Bush and the republicans just 8 year to destroy all the hard work of founding father for the past 200 years.

Wow, what’s happening over at CNN?
They actually have the report on Obama/Biden both voting in favor of the “Bridge to Nowhere” as their lead story right now.
Did Obama forget to send this week’s batch of Koolaid their way?

Hey SandyB
You may not find anything in Obama’s past to show he should be president but I find everything in McCain’s past why he SHOULDN’T BE PRESIDENT. There is a big difference. Obama may make a great presidentm most of the greats did not have a lot of experience, but I know McCain will make a poor president based on many of his prior decisions.
I had been a republicans since Richard Nixon.

historyforgotten said: Capitolism can buy your property, American lives, your cars, weapons of mass destruction. Just look at the Middle East Capitolists. It scares me what a Capitol Extremist, with billions can buy.
——————-
Anti-capitalists murdered over 169,000,000 people in the 20th century.
What do you say?

jennylynn: Where have you been lately. The president doesn’t have to know computer to run the country. I never heard of that yet. That’s Obama big idea but he probably can’t run one either because he was too busy with his drugs and booze and didn’t have the time. The president doesn’t sit at a computer. Get real. No such thing. Why do you think he has a secretary? Just to look at? And Obama if elected won’t be sitting at the computer and I believe Biden doesn’t even know how to run a computer. No doubt Michelle run of the mouth doesn’t even know.

the fact that george will is decrying or even attempting to deride mccain’s qualities to be President counts as a compliment to any liberal

All of the polls have been bogus. They are MSM driven. Who do they poll, San Franscico, Chicago, Detroit, the Bronx?
I remember when Bill Clinton was polling at 17% in August 1992. They also had Kerry ahead in every poll months before election day in 2003.
Polls really mean nothing and I don’t put much stock in them. Even when they show McCain up.

SandyB
Not only did Biden and Obama vote FOR the bridge to nowhere but they had a chance to vote NO and send the money to New Orleans and they voted NO for New Orleans.
Liars. Whiners. Losers. = Obama and Biden

Hostile Knowledge, already knew that, but i was more interested in the Capitolists in the Middle East and Viet Nam and China and the Philipans and Africa, that have killed Billions more and still continue to kill more. Ever see the movie Blood Diamond, Where Capitolists put peasents, into slavery to dig for diamonds.

“Every time Obama is losing ground the Networks increase his polls to make it look like he is winning over McCain”
LOL….the right wing has lost it!

Fox Opinion Poll – just released
Obama 45 McCain 39
Is the McCain campaign going to call another press conference and cry foul over this one too?

Osama said:
• I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful (defense) spending.
• I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.
• I will not weaponize space.
• I will slow our development of future combat systems.
• I will institute an independent defense priorities board to ensure that the Quadrennial Review is not used to justify unnecessary defense spending.
• I will set a goal for a world without nuclear weapons.
• To seek that goal, I will not develop nuclear weapons.
“I had learned not to care. I blew a few smoke rings, remembering those years. Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though.”
~ Barack Hussein Osama
A pot smoking, cocaine snorting, Marxist community organizer in a very dangerous world wants to be president.

Mariann Pepitone you are right that no one knows what it’s like being a POW unless they experienced it.. That’s why when the POW in my family is voting Dem for the first time, in large part to McCain’s horrible veteran’s voting record and his “pimping” out his honorable POW status, it gets my attention!

S. Adams: President’s don’t use computers, their secretary does. I don’t know what Obama was thinking when he made that stupid statement. He was well off the beam when he said that. Biden has made some stupid statements recently also. They are both two nuts in a shell but haven’t been cracked open yet. And I do not believe the polls that Obama is leading. Not so. All the networks are for Obama and Obama was losing ground so they had to inflate his polls to make the public think he is beating McCain. How dumb do they think the voters are.

Oh the whining from the right is deafening. Wahhhhhh, Wahhhhh. Where was this kind of ad when liars came out and mocked John Kerry with purple heart band-aids or mocked a man who lost both legs in Vietnam.
As for McCain, do we have to forgive what is becoming an obvious Alzheimers brain fog cause he was dumb enough to get shot down by the VC.

I wonder if that distinguished Veteran questioning Obama knows that McCain does not support funding to the VA for his injuries, and has received a 30% Approval Rating from the Disabled Veterans of America? I wonder if he knows that John McCain wants to privative the VA, and has not co-sponsored one piece of current “key legislation” supported by the Veterans of Foreign Wars? I wonder if that Veteran knows that Senator Obama has an 80% approval rating from the Disabled Veterans of America, and is the only Presidential Candidate that volunteered to serve on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee? McCain talks about caring for Veterans, but he is full of it when it comes to voting for their interests in Congress.

S Adams – Just following your lead..Thought if I can’t beat them, I may as well join them. Get some air!

What a crock. I spent three years as an advocate for disabled Americans. Every one of my charges had a computer and we managed to get each and everyone of them ‘voice to type’ software. We even have phones that you can dial without dialing the numbers. For real! I guess Mr. 7 houses, 13 cars, $520 Ferragamo loafers, birthdays on yachts with Italian con men and their Hollywood girlfriends, the fundamentals of our economy are strong, Grampy McSame never heard of these newfangled gadgets when he was busy inventing the Blackberry.

“the fact that george will is decrying or even attempting to deride mccain’s qualities to be President counts as a compliment to any liberal”
George Will doesn’t like McCain because McCain is not a conservative. Will is free to question McCain’s faculties but I thin Will’s personal dislike is showing through. I just so happen to agree with Will, however. McCain has shown signs of losing it.

I came to the same conclusion last week as McCain was blowing his top and ranting “off with his head”. Mr Will Convervative George finally called it. Can a highly reactive hot head handle the nuclear football. Spinning like a top yelling “where is the button, I want to push the button.” Maybe those years in Hanoi Hilton affected him. Can McCain lead, I don’t know. He was not like Eisenhower who commanded a lot of men to prove he can command and lead. The Gen showed a lot of restraint during the beginning of the cold war. As for McCain, Give me the button.

“You can exaggerate some of Obama’s acquaintances’
Why did he feel the need to lie about his relationships then? He’s the one that said that he barely knew them, not us.

contact info for ‘Citizens for Open and Responsive Government’ says on ‘WHO IS’
lists a Carlton Saffa:
Carlton Saffa, an undergraduate student at the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville who is a self-proclaimed “conservative” –believes “there is no single issue of greater importance than abortion,”

S Adams, point yourself to Politico. That’s the story that proves you got it wrong. McCain was not chair for 15 years. He as chair for a total of 6 years.

Every political cycle has it’s negative ads- whether they are approved by the official candidate or party.
We need to deal with the facts- not the fiction or inflamatory remarks- founded or unfounded.
Fact is- Barry is going to LOSE – not because he is Black- but because he is GREEN. Ineffectual, empty suit with Marxist ideas.
It’s also about “the company he keeps.”
He was married, had his children baptised and spent 20 years in the pews of hate mongering spiritual MENTOR Rev. Jeremiah “G.D. America” Wright?
Friends with convicted felon Tony Rezko- who helped him buy his home at a discounted rate and funnels money into his campaign.
Friends with unrepentant terrorists Bill Ayres and Bernadette Dorhn. Serving on the CAC and the Woods Foundation- more raising money and community agitating, straight from The Rules for Radicals book by Saul Alinsky.
Barry Soetoro Barack Hussein Obama and his his advisors are up to their eyeballs in the Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae scandal.
Instead of this huge bailout- these politicians that lined their pockets should be made to pay the money back, be investigated and prosecuted!
These are the real issues.
And this was not the result of 8 years of Bush- it started in the Jimmy Carter administration and was accelerated by Bill Clinton- who signed a bill that would loosen the banking standards, create liar loans- and gave money to people to buy homes they couldn’t afford.
Do you homework and Google some of the above names with Obama -
Here’s a couple more:
Farrakhan
Moamar Gaddafy
Jim Johnson
Christopher Dodd
Achmedinjad
Hugo Chavez
Yes- the terrorists, dictators, crazies and lefties – all around the globe- are licking their lips over an Obama victory- because his Socialist ideals will weaken our great nation.
And they relish the thought!
Final thought: Shame on the Obama camp (and this should be investigated as well) for threatening the organizers of the Jewish anti-Iran demonstration- by threatening to get the IRS to take away their non-profit status if they didn’t “dis-invite” Sarah Palin.
Chicago machine thug tactics!
And the MSM didn’t report that the event turned into an “anti-Obama” demonstration.
God Bless America
McCain-Palin 2008

“Jake, you bought into the repub propaganda line here’
He didn’t buy into anything. He knew that the Obamabots would be posting hate comment after hate comment if he wrote about it.

MACK, You need to get a life soon.
LOVE THE USA, vote Obama.

“..People didn’t die from any of Obama’s bad choices..”
And you’re 100% certain of that statement? What research do you have to back that up?
I would question that statement in light of his votes on “born-alive abortions,” and also in light of his perfect ability to turn the other cheek regarding his constituents residing in the sub-standard apartment complexes run by his slumlord pal, Tony Rezko.

my ..my…. my – $5,583.43
John McCain, whose ads skewer Barack Obama for his “celebrity” status, has his own close ties to show business, the new issue of Us Weekly reports exclusively.
The 72-year-old was recently made TV-ready by makeup artist Tifanie White who’s worked on So You Think You Can Dance and American Idol.
McCain paid the 2002 beauty-school grad $5,583.43 for her services, according to the Federal Election Commission.

Mack:
no… the info was posted online..
it’s both true and acurate

“MACK, You need to get a life soon.
LOVE THE USA, vote Obama.”
I love America. Based on comments made by his wife and his associates I really question whether Barry loves America. It also makes me quesiton his motivations for wanting to be President. Does he want to use the position of power to spread the hate and lies that he learned from Wright and Ayers?

Obama has been peddling the notion for a long time that McCain is out of touch because he does not use a computer. He keeps pushing this idea long after it was pointed out in the press that McCain’s injuries make it difficult for him to use the computer.
So, what is Obama up to? Does he figure people do not know of McCain’s injuries? Unlikely. What he is probably doing is just what the ad said, criticizing McCain for having war injuries — thus emphasizing McCain’s supposed disabilities.
Pretty low down if you ask me; but hey, this is Obama we are talking about. He is the man who turned Bill Clinton into a racist. There is no place too low for Obama to go.
It is hard to believe people want this thoroughly dishonorable man to be president.

David H writes, “So, what is Obama up to?”
==============================
The same as always. Hoping Americans would use the brain the good Lord gave them. I’ve seen disabled men and women use computers. I’ve seen them do so professionally. I’ve even witness individuals WITHOUT arms using computers.
John McCain is using his “injuries” as a crutch to hide the fact that he is really is out of step not only with America but the WORLD.
Right now he’s trying to DELAY the debates because of the bailout conversations being held. How convenient. He doesn’t WANT to field questions because he KNOWS he’s going to get hammered considering he is the champion of deregulation.

No, I mean taking the bulls by the horn and getting this economic issued settled instead of campaigning.

If can use the phone, drive a car, handle a knife and fork, you can manuver a computer. Perhaps John is so out of touch he has not heard of all the varieties of laptops that are avaiable. McCain/Palin looks more pathetic everyday.

This came up a few months ago and not once did the Republicans bring up McCain’s war wounds. A lot of People McCain’s age don’t use e-mail or know computers there is no shame in that. But what is shameful is doing a misleading ad about Obama on McCain’s lack of knowledge on computers. Now what we are seeing is the media responding the Republican spin instead of helping the voters with the issues. Which has more importance the spin or the issues?

Another POW CARD SMOKE SCREEN to change the subject and protect McKeating-5 from his disastrous handling of the economic situation?
It won’t work.
Let’s all talk about McCain’s handling of the last big Wall Street economic meltdown instead. That was the Savings and Loan disaster/bailout of the late 1980′s.
I know all you “kids for McCain” that post here can’t remember, so let me refresh your memories.
McCain was the dirtiest of a group of 5 Senators in the S&L scandal and the only one that took actual money and favors for trying to cover-up and stop the investigation of one of the BIGGEST Wall Street crooks in history, Charles Keating!
Go Google the “Keating Five” and get the sorted details for yourselves!
This is the guy you Republicans want to trust to fix the latest corruption in Washington??
What a pathetic joke!!!!

I know quadriplegics that can send an email with a stick in their month. I have seen McCain; he has more physical ability than a quadriplegic. What about voice recognition software? Can he point?

I’m glad someone is pointing out how disgusting Obama is. Lord knows the press wont do it.
- Dem for McCain/Palin

This is B.S. Many disabled people use computers, people with disabilities a lot more substantial than mccains. They adapted because they understood the access that a computer could give them information, access, freedom. McCain has never tried because he is not intellectually curious. That’s Obama’s point. To turn this into yet another POW story is — lame and typical.

McCain told the NY Times in July that he is learning to get online independently to get the information that he needs.

And on down the line the story gets changed. Few people get the “facts” straight. Restore our Constitution and vote Independant, than we can all live in USA the land of Life, Liberty, and Happiness by Consistutional Law being restored. We would not be in the mess we are if the law of our land had been exercised the past decade or more!

McCain described himself as “an illiterate” when it comes to computer. To ascribe his illiteracy to war wounds defies common sense. Until his illiteracy became a source of embarrassment, McCain was perfectly content to live in the pre-computer age.
Another instance of McCain crying POW to dodge a legitimate issue.

…. which could explain why he has always refused to release the medical records of his disability determination.

McCain told the NY Times in July that he is learning to get online independently to get the information that he needs.
