Yeah.
I wonder how long it'll be until he mentions being a POW.

Quick Tactics for Gentleman John: Funny one liners/none of this mess is my fault/patriotic generalties about how I love America/american workers.
Many thanks! These darned computers always screw me up. I calculated my first death-toll using a hand-cranked adding machine (we actually calculated the average mortality in each city block individually). Ah, those were the days.

That's his M.O. Wait until the elections finish. He'll up the ante by having a heart attack or something.

So far, a lot of "We shoul do something, but I dunno what" with respect to the economy. Slating fat cats and reassuring J6P, just no meat.

Hey, McCain is jacking off on us again. "Weeee....America Rocks"

Well, I personally like being jacked off. Too bad it's by an old man. :(

It's clearly past McCain's bedtime. He's really not on.

Obama's doing a great run on actual numbers. :D

I'm thinking McCaine tried to cancel this debate because he seems so ill prepared. He's babbling.

Wait, so McCain is going to veto spending bills just to keep taxes down? Never mind that Obama is going to use these plans to help poorer families.

Tax the richer people more. Fuck, raising taxes doesn't mean bleeding the working class more than they are now.

Looks like McCain is falling asleep at the podium and Obama is just calling him on his bullshit left, right and center.

Fool. He was saving the global economy. Cut him some slack. And prepare his bed with cookies and milk.

McCain looks like he'll fall asleep any second. Please, Flying Spaghetti Monster, make him fall asleep. That would be perfect.

Someone forgot to bring McCaine's formaldehyde IV drip. I think he's actually decaying in front of us.

Does McCain think that earmarks are the most important issue facing the nation?
The best part of being a mad scientist is never having to ask yourself, "Should I really be doing this?"

"Liberals tend to clump together in places where they can avoid reality and diversity of opinion, like big cities, especially in the east and west coast and college towns." --nettadave2006


"Googles methods are a secret black box and some left leaning folks sit on it's board. I've noticed an imbalance when I search certain other topics related to Obama or other hot button topics, especially in the first page or two of results given.."--nettadave2006

No, it's just the best ammunition he can reliably bring against Obama

Apparently so. He's more focused on bringing up his voting record on a single oil company issue, while Obama finished off his point on taxation rates. McCain just through one big red herring out there.

"John, its just $18 Billion, its not that big a deal" or something to that effect.
