This is a point that McCain needs to start hammering home.

You owe me a keyboard and a latte. :)

Sorry, Latte is too elitist. In our new Obamaland, all of us will drink plain coffee grown by Local organic farmers who are saving the environment from evil Multinationals.

So make it:

But Senator Obama is not even willing to meet with John McCain and make his case directly in front the American people! He has refused to let the people set subjects of the debate by meeting with McCain and taking their questions live.
——–

The point is that if he isn’t willing to discuss items off the cuff, how can he meet with our enemies with no preconditions. And I would like to see an ad that made that point. That whiole meet without condition thing worked so well for Kennedy that we had the Berlin Wall, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam war.

And Kennedy was a whole lot smarter and experienced that BO.

Like every other demagogue in front of a mob of mindless fools desperately seeking a Fuhrer. Also like most leftards, Obama is deathly afraid of reasoned discourse. We can rest assured that his FCC will do everything they can to abolish real debate.

Obama is a chicken. He knows McCain will trounce him and make him look like the radical gelding that he is.

Fixed that for ya.

and you just wonder what
kind of a dumb ass put him up
there.’

Well if Obama is elected then the “dumb ass” who will have put him there is, well let’s just say his initials are JM.

But Senator Obama is not even willing to meet with John McCain and make his case before the American people!

OBQuiet on June 14, 2008 at 7:57 PM

One “little” problem with that.

Obama has offered to meet McCain in five joint appearances between now and the Nov. 4 election

It would not exactly be “straight talk”.

Barack Obama has said he will meet with Iran. He will Meet with N Korea. He will Meet with Venezuela. At these meetings he will explain the US position and listen to theirs and reach understanding.(Use suitably depressing visuals)

But Senator Obama is not even willing to meet with John McCain and make his case before the American people! He is unwilling to have the frank and open discussion we need to help decide the Next President of the United States.

If Obama cannot even speak to John McCain, a man who has served this country with valor all of his life, how will he handle meeting with our enemies? How will he speak to those who threaten us? What is he afraid of? (

John McCain is not afraid of straight talk. John McCain is not afraid to let people know where he stands on issues. John McCain is not afraid to stand up to those who would harm this country. John McCain is Ready! (Heroic visuals of McCain)

When Will Obama be ready?( show Calender with months pulling off)

They’re crap, but he knows he will get a majority vote based on his charisma. He is, afterall, a lightworker.

“We need somebody who’s got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it’s like to be a young teenage mom. The empathy to understand what it’s like to be poor, or African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old. And that’s the criteria by which I’m going to be selecting my judges.”

Barry O

I don’t think it gets much more expicit than that.

And the next President is certain to appoint at least one. And with Roberts, Alito, Scalia and Thomas all solidly constructionist and not going anywhere for a long, long time, and that one is enough to make all the difference.

Typhoon on June 14, 2008 at 12:20 PM

Hmm, by that criteria, another Clarence Thomas would fit the bill! Poor, African American, heavily influenced by his grandfather (old). Okay, well, it was worth pointing out.

By the way, what I meant about Supreme Court appointments being hypothetical is that you can’t really debate Supreme Court appointments while there aren’t any announced vacancies and have it be in good taste.

I will say this: If McCain (who I really don’t like) is too old to be president, then every Justice, Senator, Cabinet member and Representative over 72 is tool old to serve, also. CEOs of public companies are not allowed to serve after 65; personally, I think 72 should be the age limit for elected and/or appointed politicians. Don’t scream at me about Reagan, please.

McCain offers 10 town-hall debates, Obama only wants one — when no one’s watching

Of course the messiah doesn’t want MANY, or ANY open townhall debates. Because, take away Hussein Obama’s script, and teleprompter, and he’s an exposed, lost and stuttering idiot.

Funny!

It isn’t that. He doesn’t want his inability to think on his feet to be observed by large numbers of people. He performed badly during the Democrat debates — and not just at the Pennsylvania debate. He did really badly in PA because he got really tough questions from ABC.

I just can’t believe Obama is probably going to win this. He’s an unabashed leftist and an empty suit to boot. If he wins, he’ll disprove Rush’s main hypothesis that the only way a liberal can win a national election is to pretend he isn’t liberal.

Earth to McCain: Say you’ll drill for oil in the Continental Shelf, and you’ll walk into the White House with 350 electoral votes. Wake up!

There RNC I said it for you and I didn’t turn into a toad or frog or even get blocked, deleted, sanctioned, sued, or thrown in jail.

Not yet anyway!
