McCain Seems Irritated at Des Moines Register Edit Board Meeting

He’s been really irritated a lot lately. He needs to calm down, it’s not helping him.

seems Sarah is it if Republicans win so cut all the crap & wait.fresh stuff interesting.
If Democrats win we are stuck with Biden He’s a wild card quitter from a long time ago.Like Why is the country in debit ask Democrat Liberals who want the bail out it will reck their income if it’s not past all the kick backs will quit coming in

Is there video of this?

According to John McCain just shut up and go with it. That is the campaign John McCain is running. And that is why i am voting for Change on November 4th proudly!!
OBAMA/BIDEN 08

I think it’s a wrap.
YES
WE
CAN

Good interview. McCain has always been candid. Nothing wrong with a little irritation. There is absolutely no hiding who those reporters will be voting for.

His comments about FDR and TV make no sense (I know he’s trying to skewer Biden but if you want to skewer a gaffe you can’t do it with a gaffe). FDR was the first president to appear on TV! Biden’s problem was the chronology was wrong.
Also look at the great Stephen Colbert inspired analysis of McCain’s “tongue jut”
Puts this interview in a different light.

Wait a minute – the brainiac media asks questions such as “what magazines do you read”, “how many homes do you have” and the candidate should not be upset???
Why doesn’t the candidate or every day voter get to interview the media instead and ask them tough questions to know their positions and biases.
Let’s start a INTERVIEW THE MEDIA drive and see how they fare…

wow, can we say testy…is this his idea of being presidential.

We have a Republi-con President wanting a bill
Democrats voted TWO THIRDS FOR the Republi-con President.
Republi-CONS vote TWO THIRDS AGAINST their own Republi-con President!
And Dems get blamed? lol
Republi-cons only LIKE TO SUPPORT WASTEFUL WARS IN LARGE NUMBERS!
After all to their sick mind, life is cheaper than a few stinking dollars! Tsk tsk!

Hey I understand him being irritated who wouldn’t be if he is stuck in the middle with Palin…speaking the way she has been….spouting of RAMBLINGS, and GIBBERISH – she was ask about what she read to keep up with world news and she ramble of something like a “read all of them” then Kathie ask her to name a specific one that she reads..she kept saying all of them. She couldn’t name one source of related news article that she read not even her own newspaper in Alaska! This is sick and sad at the same time. Course he would be irritated. She was just thrown at him. One person stated something about him “swearing” everyday that she has to go in front of the media and I too have to say – He is proably saying somethings that he normal wouldn’t say. She was a game changer…just a dumb game changer….

My favorite is:
McCain: “I’ve never been an astronaut, but I know the challenges of space.”

How come the brainiac Katie Couric didn’t pick up Joe Biden’s total flub on FDR going on TV during the 1929 stock market crash.
If she’d at least known one of those two facts she’d have interjected. She didn’t know that FDR wasn’t the president then and neither did she know there was no TV.
I bet that footage of Katie would sure make her look like a dunce!
INTEVIEW THE DUNCE MEDIA

There is still 35 days left fellas. There are reports coming out that the new ‘bailout’ proposal will include increased FDIC insurance called on by the Republicans (and McCain) last week – Nobama woke up this morning and took credit for the idea) and a new tax break for individuals which was spurred on by the Republicans in the House. McCain brought these guys into the discussion after they were ignored by the Democrats and the Bush administartion thinking they wouldn’t need them. Surprise they did because Pelosi couldn’t get the votes.
Palin will surprise this Thursday against ‘I left my frontal lobe in San Francisco’ Biden, after which they will systematically destroy the Nobama rhetoric over the next few weeks.

Watch the end of the second video. He really sounds like he respects her opinion.

How is it bias when McCain is saying the words?
There’s plenty of crap Obama says, no doubt, but can you not see the crap McCain is spouting?

This is what she stated when asked about the specific sources!
I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news, too. Alaska isn’t a foreign country, where it’s kind of suggested, “Wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C., may be thinking when you live up there in Alaska?” Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America.
Sarah snide remarks and flirting will not work for you this time girrrrl. You are way out of your League. Did anyone just see “Anderson 360

There is still time to put Obama in his place… thats absolutely right the at the media is paying homage to earlier ultra liberal journalists that brought us Michael Dukkakis .. the media didnt help bring him down it was the poltical minions now it is the media who is trying to sabotage mccain

The journalists were asking questions injected with innuendo and in a somewhat accusatorial voice. In the second the reporter is literally confronting him regarding a campaign ad. In the third the question is replete with implications as in “you had free health care then why shouldn’t others have free health care…”
No picture Barack Obama being asked about Tony Rezko once again. Or his dealings with William Ayers. Then they could follow up on his many sealed records. Don’t you think that Barack Obama would become irritated?
Of course they wouldn’t put Barack Obama in a small room with a camera put in front of him as if he were in a court of law. Then again, they would not dare ask Barack Obama confrontational questions since that is not acceptable to the status quo.
It’s no wonder he is irritated in this video given the questions and the rampant partisan nature of journalism today.

mr black & white
the lipstick on a pig comment by Obama originally was a brazen too cute by half comment concoted by his portly press aide that is a clone of Rove and you know it

It is not the ‘media’ that is sabotaging him, it is McCain himself. He is inconsistent and can’t find a theme or message he wants to stick to. He has such great faith in Palin, but he bottles her up. Sure Biden is a blowhard, but you don’t see Obama hiding him.
So, yes, Obama hasn’t won. But this isn’t a game either.

marzies
Mccain wont he first debate… you know it and Ob ama was as snarky as every being condescending is not a qualification for pres

if he has free health care, why shouldn’t we all have free health care? sounds reasonable to me…

He has no clue what it’s like pay for health insurance.
I think McCain comes off as a royal jerk. I don’t trust him.
And saying that the ads of lipstick on a pig or the sex-ad are true is even worse. Far from the “respectful” campaign promise.
He will need to do a big mea culpa if he loses this election and hopes to keep his Senate seat. Though he’d probably just retire and live it up in his 7 houses and 13 cars with his wife’s millions and his retirement and health care paid for by taxpayers.

MIguy
\Obama isnt going to give us universal health care so you dont know what youre talking about

William
yes,yes! ACORN will come out as will revelations by Rev Wright in October…. Tony Rezko is cooperatign with prosecutors… these smarmy little obamasnots will be taught a lesson!

The media is not destroying “McCain”…
No one said a word when Palin was the celebrity and the saver for McCain – all of the sudden his ad’s stop about celebrity and saver which I throught was cute… They asked for the attention and now they are whinning because people want to know about Palin. She was accepted with open arms and no one said a word about the media. Come on….bad choice and too much baggage came with Palin… Just what happens when you make quick decisions – just like last week when he wanted to cancel the debate because he knew Palin wasn’t ready… she was too busy trying to keep up with her celebrity status… Tables have turned and now you guys are screaming “media bias”…. They ask for it…

Mccain has NEVER had to worry where his next paycheck is coming from or if he has health insurance. He has lived off axpayers all his life and you people expect him to understand how the normal people live , good luck, voting for change!!!

stuckwithpalin
you are using a a smokescreen which isnt surprising when most of you obama supporters are addicts!

Angry Left, Radicals, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, etc. – MAC is Back! Don’t count him out yet. He was left for dead for nearly six years in Viet Nam and his primary campaign was on life support. McCain never gave up and the country is in desperate need of a leader not a “politician” like Obama.
Hey Jake – we know ABC and Gibson loathe McCain but why don’t you publish your network’s poll that was just released. ABC/WaPo poll has McCain up by 5 points in a week. More importantly, McCain is leading with indies and is up 11% with white women.
McCain was fantastic in the video – he sees right through those two pin heads. They basically they called him a liar and a hypocrite and his gave them some straight talk.
I want him as my Commander in Chief – not Barack (Oh by the way, why doesn’t the media ask Barack why he changed his name from Barry – can you imagine if McCain had changed his name?) Obama.
Go McCain/Palin!

paul
Obama was not as desititute as they say he was he always went to private schools he was only on food stamps a short time.. and on recently paying off his college loans is a lie too.. and accordign to his book he didnt relate very well to his mother and he was raised more by his grandparents.. enough said!

stan: you mistake me for someone who cares to defend Obama. that’s his own business. McCain, however, has to defend himself too. by the way, thanks for the advice to not even “appear” to come down on Obama’s side. what the heck is that? do you want my lunch money too?

Donna – I am in total agreement. The media is so biased…McCain campaign should play these videos on a loop. The media is and Americans don’t believe them!!!!!

I’m not in it for any one…I’m voting “Ron Paul”… the obvious is the obvious…

This is sad – he seems to assert that he has never told a lie. How bizarre and the 2nd 2 videos it comes back to his military service. It seems we are not allowed to question Palin and now it seems offensive to McCain that we are even daring to ask him questions. He comes across terribly defensive and frankly is beyond condescending (how dare you question me? I served my country). Very, very sad to witness the last chapter in his life this way. He is becoming harder and harder to watch. Maybe we should suspend the election and just make them king and queen? Wouldn’t have to answer to anyone then…

Media is in Obama’s pocket. I have a cousin who works for NBC and she said she here’s McCain and Palin slurs all the time. She is an assistant to a producer and she is appalled by their conduct.
The networks are public airways and there is no fairness or balance. I am frightened by my cousin’s stories. This is propanda!!

I just seen the piece that 360 did on the “Alaska’s forgotten town” – The town that SP has stated many times in relation to her “her foreign policy” exposure. Interesting the town of 150 didn’t know of her and she has never traveled to not even once. Very Interesting she continues to spout off a bunch of stuff that is poven to be false.inculding the attack speech.

Florida Republican – you put into words what I think a lot of us are feeling. I am a Democrat who would have seriously considered voting for McCain in 2000 (before the Bush campaign destroyed his) as I respected him as a straight shooter. But the man I see today is a mere shadow of that one. It IS sad. I can’t imagine what kind of shape he’ll be in after 4 years as president. It definitely takes a lot out of you.

WOW!!
This man does not have the temperament to be the next president.

By Cliff Kincaid Monday, September 29, 2008
With one socialist “bailout” bill apparently on the way to passage by Congress, two more are pending―both of them sponsored by Senator Barack Obama. One is the Jubilee Act, which would cancel as much as $75 billion worth of Third World debt, and the other is the Global Poverty Act, which would cost an estimated $845 billion. Total potential cost: $920 billion.

My friends . . . that is the anger of a man that not only sees his lifelong ambition slipping away but realizes he has forever tarnished his name.

Notice the tongue-jutting he does, particularly in the second clip. It’s well documented that this is something people do when they’re lying or bluffing.
I can tell you this as a poker player. It’s a very common “tell”. You see it a lot when people are telling or getting away with a lie.
McCain is a liar.

LOL! My family works for the media toooooooooooo and the word is theatrics is in for 2008….

in the tank…simply means asking questions. please let us spin, he says.

McCain isn’t being destroyed by the media-he has been given a free pass by the media-He is SELF-destructing-you should read the article written by a fellow POW who was there 2 years before McCain was taken prisoner there-altho a friend of McCains he doesn’t believe McCain with his temper should have his finger anywhere near the “red” button. and doesn’t believe being a POW is an experience that qualifts one to be president

what a mean nasty man…..he knows he is going to lose. and palin is a perfect dunce……..

most of the quotes you’ve used from the Obamas don’t sound crazy or socialist. Sounds like they are talking about tolerance and personal responsibility. Are these values that you as a “Democrat” don’t share? The issues really are bipartisan.
BTW, McCain doesn’t want to be asked tough questions. All those listed by Jake are legitimate.

“the term “dictator” is generally used to describe a leader who holds and/or abuses an extraordinary amount of personal power,”
•-> Correct: G.W. Bush & Cheney
“especially the power to make laws without effective restraint by a legislative assembly. ”
•-> Correct: G.W. Bush
” proclamation of a state of emergency; rule by decree; repression of political opponents without abiding by rule of law procedures;”
•-> Correct: G.W. Bush & Cheney

Mission Accomplished

I want the best man for the job. We are falling behind on education and technilogical leadership in this country. Our economy is in a mess and given the options for president, who can make it right? It certainly is not McCain, who is hot headed, and will only be a war president. We are tired of lies and wars. The American public is not stupid and it will show on November 4th.

In touch with the middle class?
Enough said.

Obama is a millionaire also.
But skip that!
Nancy, does that mean that Kennedy was out of touch with the middle class?
Roosevelt?
I guess that means then that actually the only one of our Presidents in the relatively recent past would have been William Clinton would have been acceptable because, certainly, he and Hillary were the poorest Presidential family to reside in the White House!
And does your “match-up” mean that merit has no bearing in this race for President?
Should our votes be based on which multi*millionaire happens to have the proper amount of millions?
And how would this be decided?
egads!

you distract because McCain struggles. I highly doubt that you are a Democrat. Maybe you should change your name to Independent Voter to really trick people.

County First.. Can I run? Will you guys vote me in..I’m said to be a good looking. Who will replace anyone
who might have challenged me because I enjoy the bulling just like Palin! I will start campagining in the morning… gather the information later and now can someone write my creative fictional speech so I can attack loud and clear….I will not talk either unless someone is within Proximity of my window so I can see them.

Obama agreed with John McCain 55 times during the debate. America knows who the “true” leader is, that would be Senator John McCain.

Obama continues to prove daily now that he is Pelsoi’s “puppet”. Pelosi tells the idiot to jump and he jumps…Dems NEVER cease to amaze me!

REX THAT WAS WRONG TOO. KIDS SHOULD NEVER SING ABOUT ANY ‘LEADER’.

I found it interesting that McCain had to elude to his POW years in defense of each one of those questions.
My father was in veitnam and saw some atroicious things, yet never once volunteered to describe any of it or make casual references to it. McCain falls back on his POW years whenever he is called out for anything. It belittes all former POW’s everywhere and all service men and woman as well.

Concerned Democrat
the difference of course is that the example I mentioned is reality, it happened and can be viewed……… what you suggested is fantasy and sort of funny but it never happened.
Mission Accomplished

Concerned Democrat
and I didn’t even bother to get into the obvious problems and legality of a ‘church’ indoctrinating young children with a strange amalgam of ‘far right wing’ politics and evangelical religion.
Mission Accomplished

There you go again, Jake. You could have titled this “McCain takes on the liberal Des Moines Register” but that wouldn’t have gone over too well with your friends, would it?

I initially welcomed McCain’s candidacy and looked forward to supporting a Republican not in thrall to the religious conservatives. I was very disappointed when McCain sold out to the extremists — but at least I could understand why he did it.
However, McCain’s behavior over the past month is baffling and disturbing. There was his rash choice of the unqualified Sarah Palin, flip-flopping on the economy, the stunt with “suspending” his campaign, and then his rude and angry demeanor during the debate.
All of these call into question McCain’s judgment and fitness for the presidency. And now he lacks the brains or manners or both to conceal his irritation when talking to the editorial board of a leading newspaper. This is a man incapable of learning from his mistakes.
In a close race, McCain cannot afford such behavior. He’s alienated moderates like me who don’t give a @#$%! about party affiliation. McCain, with Palin’s help, is giving the election to Obama.

If congress really wants to solve the financial crisis they need to do Six things:
1. Restore the Glass-Steagall Act.
This act separated investment and commercial banking activities, which prohibited comingling of funds between banks and Wall-Street Stocks , Commodities.
2. Eliminate Derivatives.
3. Eliminate Hedge Funds.
4. Restore bank regulations or make new bank regulations.
5. Restore Wall-Street regulations and make new regulations for Wall-Street.
6. DO NOT Give Wall-Street and Banks 700 Billion dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bob4USA;
to add a lil bit to your good post……
the real problem is that the same security that the government gives banks was extended to other financial institutions who didn’t have to deal with the tighter regulations and oversight that banks do.. they were free to do just about anything, and they did, without supervision or accountability, they knew that no matter what happened the government would bail them out.
Mission Accomplished

I think McCain looks angry and upset that he has to answer the questions put forward to him by the editorial board. Palin couldn’t talk her way out of a paper bag and McCain is crazy. If either one of these people is fit for the highest office in the land, then I’m Gandhi!
Former PTA President
Mother
Bitter Voter

HA. Last sentence of last video, about health care: a noun, a verb, and POW.
His intellectual dishonesty is breathtaking.
I agree with you, Jake. The man is like a pressure cooker.

OBAMA: We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run. They’re going to try to make you afraid. They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. (laughter) They’re gonna…. They’re going to say, “You know what, he’s — he’s — he’s young, inexperienced, and, uh, uh, he’s got a funny name. Did I mention he’s black? (cheers and applause) (Obama laughs) He’s got a feisty wife.

Obama agreed with President John McCain 55 times during the debate! Chris Wallace states McCain won the debate hands down and will be the next President. Obama, time for you to go back to the Chicago Thugland you came from. America does not want you!

I despise the man.

Obama = Dumb
Biden = Dumber
You can rent both of them for a buck from Blockbuster….bout all they are worth!

Obama=Pelosi=Losers….
Chicago Thugland..America does not want you??
Where to you think Chicago is..Pluto???
If I agree with you on any point and then say, but we also have to do this…does that mean you are absolutely right?
No, but that is what Bi-partisan is…two parts coming together to make a whole.
It simple math.
Maybe you should learn to get along better.
Obama/Biden ’08

John McCain: Could I just mention one other thing about this. I disagree with the 10-year figure. I talked to the independent petroleum producers who said, “Look, we can do some of this in a matter of months. We can do a lot more of it … in a matter of just a short period of time.” And it’s …
Couric: Don’t they have a vested interest in saying that, though, Senator?
McCain: Well, they have the capability. And I don’t think they’re not telling the truth. I mean, they’re the ones who are out there doing it

OBAMA: Right now, we don’t have enough troops, and NATO hasn’t provided enough troops because they are still angry about us going into Iraq. So we just don’t have enough capacity right now to deal with — and it’s not just troops, by the way. It’s like Arab — Arab — Arabic interpreters, Arab language speakers, we only have a certain number of them, and if they’re all in Iraq, then it’s harder for us to use them, and — and obviously they may not speak Arabic, but the various dialects that they speak in Afghanistan, oftentimes people who speak Urdu or Pashtun or whatever the languages are, they’re going to be needed in those areas, and a lot of them have ended up being placed elsewhere. So we’ve got to focus on Afghanistan.”
There are not any Arabic translators for Afghanistan. So Obama quickly realized, wait a minute, they don’t speak Arabic there, oh, God,

Palin: “experts are who say that it would take 20 years. As the governor of an energy-producing state, we’re supplying 16, 17 percent of the U.S. domestic supply of energy coming from my state. And as the former chairman of the Interstate Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, the geologists, the petroleum engineers whom I speak with are saying it can be done a lot quicker than 20 years from now.”
Palin was chairman for 1 year.
The percentage of the domestic energy supply of produced by Alaska is 3.5%

LEND AN EAFR!
here’s what I said, again, and, it has nothing to do with your comments, I said nothing about disqualifying him for anything, I asked how it does………
‘so, how does that qualify McCain to be president? There have been many other vets who have gone through similar experiences.
McCain has had as many contradictions and ‘flip flops’ during his political career as any other politician, maybe more……. ie: his recent ‘suspending his campaign’ routine was already tried by McCain during a previous run for office.’
Mission Accomplished

Palin: I think this may be a little bit more about a campaign of reform, where just because maybe someone in the media elite hasn’t had the access that maybe they’re demanding, because we’re running the campaign the way that we believe will best result in a good result for America – and that is a victory for John McCain. And maybe some are kind of put off by that. But that’s all part of no more politics as usual; no more business as usual. I’m out there talking to the American people, those who I so dearly love and care about. I’m talking to them in these rallies that are attracting 20 – 30,000-plus people. I’m doing these rope-lines. I’m talking to every individual American that I can, in every hour that I have in my day. That’s who I will be serving, that’s who I’m connecting with today.”
Talking with the people involves giving speeches with a teleprompter.

Couric (to Palin): Are you sorry you said it?
McCain: … and the fact …
Couric: Governor?
McCain: Wait a minute. Before you say, “Is she sorry she said it,” this was a “gotcha” sound bite that, look …
Couric: It wasn’t a “gotcha.” She was talking to a voter.
McCain: No, she was in a conversation with a group of people and talking back and forth. And I can tell you that I would say, if I was asked, of course we have to do what’s necessary to protect America. The question is, is whether you make an outright public announcement the way that Sen. Obama did. And I don’t think you do that. And … I’ll let Gov. Palin speak for herself.

Th energy expert
Couric: Because, if it’s not man-made, then one might wonder, well, how can human beings contribute to a solution?
Palin: Well, human beings certainly are contributing to pollution today. And to some adverse effects on the environment. And it’s all of our jobs to do to clean things up. And that’s what we’re committed to doing.
Couric: So you do believe … that man is contributing to global warming, because you just said they’re causing pollution. Of course, pollution causes global warming.
Palin: I believe that there are a lot of causes. And there is one effect. And one is changes in the climate. And there are things that we can do to make sure we’re cleaning up the environment. I also formed an integrity office that solely is focused on petroleum, on pipelines, on those things that we do up there in Alaska to contribute to the U.S. domestic supply of energy.
Where we can focus solely on environmental protections. There are a lot of things that I’ve done there in that arena of environmental protection that have kind of ticked off some in my own party thinking that I went too far. But I’ve always been of the mind that, you know, we gotta prove that we can do this right. Safely, ethically, environmentally friendly developments, or we’re not gonna be allowed to unlock our lands and tap these supplies.
Couric: John McCain proposed legislation calling for mandatory caps on global warming gases or CO2 emissions. Do you agree with that?
Palin: I support his position on that. Absolutely.
Couric: But he somewhat backtracked on the campaign trail saying it wouldn’t, they wouldn’t, the caps wouldn’t be mandatory, they’d be voluntary. So what do you think? Do you think voluntary caps go far enough? Or they should be mandatory?
Palin: He’s got a good cap and trade policy that he supports. And details are being hashed out even right now. But, in principle, absolutely, I support all that we can do to reduce emissions and to clean up this planet. And john McCain is right on board with that.
Couric: Voluntary or mandatory in your view?
Palin: We’re gonna keep working on how it can be implemented to actually make sense and make a difference.

Obama does have much fun. He hasn’t hung around people who enjoy life. He Have you noticed that Obama only hangs out with angry people? People who are criminal? He hangs around people that are enraged and angry and disenchanted with society all the time. His college professors on down to the terrorist buddies, the radical preachers, and all this. Must be a fun holiday party at his place, Rezko, Ayers, Wright. You don’t want to lose a game of twister want those guys do you? Sitting around the fireplace in Chicago talking about how much America stinks while eating prosciutto wrapped asparagus.

staniam
unknown…… do you know?

Couric: And when it comes to establishing your worldview, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world?
Palin: I’ve read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media.
Couric: What, specifically?
Palin: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years.
Couric: Can you name a few?
Palin: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news, too. Alaska isn’t a foreign country, where it’s kind of suggested, “Wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C., may be thinking when you live up there in Alaska?” Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America.

Concerned in OH
what it’s about is the religious trying foist their beliefs on people who are not religious…. you can state your ‘moral’ objections according to your own belief system, that doesn’t mean your right, nor does it mean that the law supports your view.

Concerned Democrat or Concerned in Ohio or hired by exxonmobil chevron with a laptop to defend McCain I remember when Bush got elected in 2004 when economy had started to raise alarms he after winning re-election said that “People have invested there political capital and now I’m gonna spend it” Rumsfeld who is partly responsible of our 4000 dead soldiers remained till 2006 when democrats won congress he was thrown out, Ron Paul adviser Peter Schiff 2 years ago on fox news came and said that we are going to lose our standard of living if we stay the course of high risk mortgage lending republicans these arrogant fools ignored him all of a sudden it is election year and marsha blackburn of tennessee decides to stop asking for earmarks in 2008 when she was breaking records tucking earmarks for her state in different bills as far as concerned mctrolls I would rather commit suicide than vote Republican.

McCain unveils the pathetic debating tactic of “some people”
“Some people allege that others may have spent too much time inside the Beltway,” McCain said, “And too much time not out in touch with the American people, some people that know that Franklin Delano Roosevelt didn’t adress the American people on television.”

Why is Gwen Ifill moderating the VP debate on Thursday? She has written a book on Obama, due out Inauguration day, and she has every incentive to have him elected. This is truly biased! a moderator is REQUIRED to be neutral.
I am furious…FURIOUS….at the ongoing media bias toward Obama. What has society become? The media picks at the tiniest little thing about McCain and Palin, but ignores HUGE issues with Obama. No one is talking about ACORN, no one is talking about the police-state thug tactics in Missouri. And have you seen the videos of these children being brainwashed into singing songs about Obama? Are you kidding me with this?
We, as Americans, need to be scared……VERY VERY scared, at the mere thought of Obama coming to power. The thought of it sends chills down my spine.
God help us.

stainam,
Does John McCain still believe that Czechoslovakia exists?

Concerned in OH:
contrary to what you might think, I am not ‘pro-abortion’, there should be as few as possible which is why reproductive education should be enhanced in schools, and assuming rape or incest is an issue, there should be no restrictions on a women gaining access to a ‘morning after’ pill.
The question is who gets to decide what’s right for a women. We can argue all night about fetal viability and whether someone’s view of ‘life begins at conception’ is vaild.
That still doesn’t address the issue of whether a women has the freedom to decide what’s right for her. I believe a women has that right.

Gov. Sarah Palin cites vigilance against Russian warplanes coming into U.S. airspace over Alaska as one of her foreign policy credentials. But the U.S. military command in charge says that hasn’t happened in her 21 months in office.
“When you consider even national security issues with Russia, as (Prime Minister Vladimir) Putin rears his head and comes into the airspace of the United States of America, where — where do they go? It’s Alaska,” the Republican vice presidential nominee said in an interview last week with CBS News’ Katie Couric.
The spokeswoman for the McCain-Palin campaign, Maria Comella, clarified in an e-mail to The Associated Press that when “Russian incursions near Alaskan airspace and inside the air defense identification zone have occurred … U.S. Air Force fighters have been scrambled repeatedly.”

On the other hand, you have to like someone who stands up for what he believes in a no nonsense way. One of the clips questioned whether the straight talk express was still on the track. I think Senator McCain set these partisan nitpickers straight on that point. Can you imagine the waffling, hemming and hawing of the O-man if he should be similarly questioned? Oh my!

The bottom line is that this is not Presidential demeanor. I do not want this man near the nuke code. He loves to hate, and I’m sorry, but that’s not OK. Look at his eyes–he literally wants to stab these journalists. That is not something to be admired in a leader. That is something the Taliban would approve of. We need a cool, level head in the White House. Imagine if he or Cheney were Pres during the early days of the Cold War. The way he’s provoking Russia right now, we may get an idea of what that scenario would’ve been like if anyone elects this angry ass. I looked at the Des Moines Register website, and it’s interesting to note that he only got angry with the questions asked by women. Before whiner GOP’ers cry foul by the media, note that this paper’s editorial board endorses McCain.

If Iowa was not already in Obama’s column, it most certainly is now.

John McCain is becoming a national joke. He is a clown.

Maccain looks like a surly old man.
In the begining, I even had respect for him.
But now, I lost all respect and even don’t feel pity for him!

Those darn questions… McCain was down 15 in Iowa. Make that 20.

Concerned Democrat – Right, you’re as much a Democrat as I am a pinhead republican.
I have been a republican all my life and love the flag, my gun and cigarettes. I have spent my entire life taking care of myself. I am a disciple of self. Self interest, self importance, self denial and self destruction. Did I mention that I can be conned by my party and will say and do anything to get my candidate elected. Heck I don’t even care that my party would rig the election, because the ends always justify the means.
I am here to say that bush is a moron, mccain is a senile moron and pallin is a small-town hick moron. In this election I am voting for Obama because I have seen the light and had a change of heart.

Jake, nobody made an issue of Bill Clinton’s lack of foreign policy non-experience, nor other presidents before him. In fact, very few presidents who were elected to office had little to none foreign policy experience. Why don’t you do a few article on this topic and stop making such an issue of it yourself.

I don’t see McCain as being angry, the questions are a little one sided and you can obviously tell who these editors are supporting (it isn’t McCain) As for question number 3, that is just stupid, he is a vet and has had and always will have taxpayer financed health care, part of the deal. Sounds like a bunch of people trying to make something of nothing.

When McCain started his campaign for president against Obama, I really expected more out of him based on his promises. But then why in the world would I expect a Repub or any politician to be truthful, but he did say he would run a clean campaign and he hasn’t. His ads are ugly, not issue based in many cases and are just ugly attack ads full of lies. I did not expect that from him. So much for honor.

Why does John McCain do that strange thing with his tongue all the time?
Kind of creeps me out – he must have been a Slytherin at Hogwarts.
lol

I watched the video of the interview and I would be irate also. They ask a question, he answers, they don’t like his answer so keep asking the question 2 or 3 times with him giving the same answer time and again. I guess they were hoping for a Gotcha moment, but they failed.

OBAMA MEDIA BIAS … NOW, OBAMA DEBATE BIAS !!!
The nation already is skeptical about the fairness and objectivity of the mainstream media regarding election coverage … so, why in the world is Gwen Ifill the debate moderator, when she is writing a book about Obama … especially since her book sales would increase if Obama/Biden win? The moderator in a debate … especially one of this importance and magnitude … should be seen as completely fair, objective and above reproach. This is a terrible choice, and could easily have been remedied by choosing from hundreds of other more objective potential moderators. I can imagine the outcry if Michelle Malkin, or Ann Coulter was chosen as the moderator for the first Vice Presidential debate between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden. FURTHERMORE … Everyone knows that Roland Martin is in the tank for Obama … and regarding his call for Palin to either ‘put up, or shut up’ … for millions of Americans, we still feel that Obama never adequately explained why he chose to spend TWENTY YEARS, yes TWENTY YEARS, in Jeremiah Wright’s anti-American, racist, black liberation church, which gave a life time achievement award to Louis Farrakhan, and Obama only quit the church due to public outrage and personal ambition.

This is how someone with class deals with people who are so obviously biased against him. I think McCain like so many other people are amazed at the level of bias and sometimes yes, even stupidity of the questions asked by him. He still answers the questions but he gets his point across very strongly. I don’t think I’m alone in admiring McCain for the person he is. On the boards, less name calling and more sticking to the issues would be nice.

First time I saw him in this kind of interview. I’m surprised cause he looks much younger and vital than during the P debate. On the other hand he has a problem controlling his temper. I’m not sure if this is a negative thing. Could be that (from a Dutch point of view) Americans support this attitude.

I think it is a shame that the media is not being fair. They have decided that Obama should win including this station. That makes them bias and NOT being fair on how they present the facts. SHAME on ABC. You are suppose to present the news in truth, not cut to their views.
