McCain can unite Americans based on the American concepts of freedom and liberty.

I’m assuming “freedom of speech” isn’t part of that “freedom and liberty” you’re referring to. At least, not political speech near an election.

Because that sort of speech is outlawed and illegal. You know, under Congress’ required job under the First Amendment to abridge freedom of speech (I may have gotten that wrong, but it seems to be the text McCain works from).

So, when he’s uniting people under freedom and liberty, make sure you and he are working from the same text…

Republican Presidential Conservatism, RIP: 1980-2008. It was a great run.

Oh…wait, it was your intention to insult?

Hah! I missed that also.

No, that wasn’t an insult…it was this “some people don’t get it”. That is not an insult. Ed has used about a dozen words that make people look or think, I razed him the other day for a word. The insult was on me, a self-deprecating statement, meaning I do not understand some of the words and I have to look them up.
Like I said “some people don’t get it”, I hope you “get it” now—do you?
Don’t be so sensitive…

Here, maybe I better explain it to you…see this post was about McCain attacking Wright, then out of the blue, out of nowhere this goof ball states McCain is attacking Bush, so I went back up and re-read it again and I never saw Bush’s name. It only talks about McCain and Wright.
So I said, to someone who was trying to hijack the post, I’m not buying it…apparently you did.
You must have sat behind him in class…

Back to back insults; rolling out with brilliance this morning.

Double proof that some don’t get…I knew there were more then one.

News flash for McCain:
YOU AREN’T RUNNING AGAINST JEREMIAH WRIGHT.

Criticizing Wright while defending Obama:

Mr. McCain said that he did not believe that Mr. Obama, Democrat of Illinois, shared those views

isn’t going to win you any elections Juan.

As usual, McCain defends his Senatorial Frat brother, despite his 20 year close relationship with the guy McCain now has permission to criticize. One more example of his Senators uber alles attitude.

I don’t have a problem with the ‘take the high road’ strategy while the Dems are doing their best to destroy themselves, but why take the cheap, easy shot at Wright at all if you are going to exonerate his disciple Obama for their long relationship?

Wright ain’t running.
Its funny; Wright was saying just last night that the evil white media and politicians are running against him, and he isn’t even in the race… And the very next day, McCain proves Wright’s little quip was accurate.

Little Green Footballs

Suddenly John McCain has decided it’s OK to criticize Barack Obama for his association with Jeremiah Wright. It’s no longer out of touch with reality, it’s not racist, and it’s not the kind of sleazy poli…

adjective
of or relating to or used in or practicing neurology; “neurological evidence”

Wasn’t bundcombe I had trouble with, it was the usage of ‘neurological’ next to it. I’m pretty sure that’s not a good modifier for what the Rev was spreading either. Might want to be careful when using the ‘$50 Words to make a simple point’ Thesaurus.

buncombe:

1. insincere speechmaking by a politician intended merely to please local constituents.

2. insincere talk; claptrap; humbug.

“Bunk,” for short. However, the definition suggests that it’s probably not quite the right word for Wright’s theories, since he probably means what he says rather sincerely. If you drag out an old Roget’s, I’m sure there are some wonderful obscure old synonyms – along the lines of “balderdash” and “poppycock” – that might make a better fit. I like ‘em even better when combined with some a modifier, Latinate if available, and a bit of alliteration: Pernicious poppycock, baleful balderdash, demented drivel, etc.

1. insincere speechmaking by a politician intended merely to please local constituents.

2. insincere talk; claptrap; humbug.

Yep, guess you are correct. I didn’t get it.

Oh…wait, it was your intention to insult?

Hah! I missed that also.

What I have seen is that McCain wants to run against George Bush and his own Republican party…

Meanwhile, this post is about McCain attacking Obama…gee, had a tough time in school did we?

right2bright on April 28, 2008 at 8:36 AM

Well, right2bright, I don’t know how “we” did in school, but I did quite well, thank you.

I am hoping Cap’n Ed will answer my questions, though.

Speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Dean said, “One of these two wonderful candidates is going to lose with about 49 percent of the delegates, and that person’s going to have to do what’s right for the country” — and drop out of the race.

Dean also said the person who loses with “49 percent of the delegates in Denver…has to believe that they were treated fairly,” or else the Democrats can’t win in November.
Dean said in the next few weeks, it will become clear “that one of these candidates is more likely to win than the other, and I think that’s who’s going to get the nomination.I can’t tell you who that is. I have no idea who it is. But that’s what’s going to happen.”

Pass the crystal ball to Mr. Dean along with the popcorn

The leftists in the media desperately want to turn McCain into a Grand Kleagle of the GOP by taking some comment out of contest, the way they’re doing right now with the “100 years in Iraq” remark. Bush and Rove understood this too back in 2000 — the playing field may be more even now with Fox News, talk radio and the Internet, but any Republican candidate has to walk on eggshells and take the high road or risk spending weeks trying to put down a phony controversy. So McCain can hit Obama around the edges on things like Wright’s attack on the U.S. military — where if the quote is thrown back at McCain it just reinforces the Democrats’ anti-military position in the public’s eyes — but he’s not going to do anything head-on against the senator while Hillary’s there to do the dirty work for him.

Back to back insults; rolling out with brilliance this morning.

“It is fair to sling this bloviating skunk around my neck.”

McCain:

“Here’s your polecat, Barry. Eau de Humanity.”
