Well, I’ve been a bit busy tracking the Georgian situation so I’ve let a lot of politics go slipping by.  A good thing, for some.  There are plenty of folks who have been posting about McCain and Obama’s appearance at the Saddleback Church…

He had to know what the questions would be even without knowing what they actually were. Who prepared him for his bad performance? The more his team is exposed to real life, real time, the more they look like a clown car!!

Here’s a tip Obama. When you’re preparing for a job interview, the job of your life’s ambitions no less, you prepare by pre-supposing what the questions will be based on the nature of the interviewer. Pitifully bad preparation.

I share the boss’s disdain for this grand pander so I won’t be watching

Pretty straightforward questions if you ask me. Do you regret not watching?

McCain wasn’t my first choice (Fred. Sigh.), but he’s the only choice we have now. “If America elects Obama, it’s not the America I once knew”. electric-rascal on August 17, 2008 at 4:22 AM

I’m gonna go sit down in your “amen corner.”

There… now I feel better. You said it perfectly.

I’m the descendant of many long lines of adulterers, thieves, rapists, murderers, and motherfvckers, Alphie. If even one of them had failed to do her job, or his job, I wouldn’t be here. And McCain the adulterer-thief, as you say, handed Obama his a$$ yesterday, even if Obama is as pure as the wind-driven snow.

You have a way with words, Kralizec, and you are a treasure.

An instant disqualifier one time in America. Today, many will rate him on how good a marxist he is.

I don’t believe this until Nov.05, 2008. If we do, we’re no different than the Russians, and, therefore, deserve socialism/Marxism, with an anarchyst first lady to boot.

Every populace deserves its leaders.

…. that’s the spirit, mr. deport them all.

So Obama’s qualifications: Community organizer, shrewed lawyer. Oh! And he likes to vote ‘present’ a lot.

wise_man on August 17, 2008 at 11:31 AM

Allow me to fix that for you …

So Obama’s qualifications: Community organizer, shrewd liar. Oh! And he votes ‘present’ a lot.

McCain, in comparison, sounded like a guy running for President and Obama one who was running for city council.

Well, Obama is an excellent community organizer.

And when he ran for illinois senate, he used a political procedure to derail his democrat opponents so he could run unopposed on the ballot. So you can see that he’s an awfully shrewed lawyer.

So Obama’s qualifications: Community organizer, shrewed lawyer. Oh! And he likes to vote ‘present’ a lot.

McCain had the best performance. Damn shame he plans on making the USA a state of Mexico.

but was mildly rebuked for exercising “poor judgment”.

So when will Osama Obama be rebuked for exercising no judgment?

“I just flew in from Hawai’i, and boy! are my arms tired….”

Obambi got his marxist ass handed to him last nite.

McCain the adulterer or McCain the Thief, cold?

Obama: Erudite, talkative, overly wordy and reflective. Hesitant/weak about America’s greatness. Would lead America with platitudes and trite phrases.

McCain: Tough street-fighter, decisive, able to lead. Firm and sure about America’s greatness. Would lead America with strength and pride.

Considering borderline economy, continuing threat of terrorism, and a renewed Russian bear growling and prowling, McCain is the only logical choice.

McCain has transitioned me from a “will vote for you but little financial support” to a “will vote for you AND make campaign contributions”.

McCain wasn’t my first choice (Fred. Sigh.), but he’s the only choice we have now.

A lot of work… thank you MsUnderestimated!

MsUnderestimated on August 17, 2008 at 3:36AM

Cool. The contrast should be quite striking, to misunderestimate a bit.

So please bear with me while I compile these vids tomorrow (actually today) morning. I will make a post with all the vids on my site tomorrow (.wmv downloadable links), so please check then at MsUnderestimated.com.

That brings me to the embryonic stem cell question. McCain said that it is one that pro-lifers “have struggled with”, what’s the struggle? I am a pro-lifer and there was no struggle to conclude that as life begins at conception, embryonic destruction for the betterment of others was wrong. Yes, his answer was good in that he concluded that with adult stem cells providing so much help, the question is more academic: why use embryonic stem cells when they not only don’t work and can even cause cancer, and adult stem cells actually are providing treatments (leukemia has longed been treated with adult stem cells). But I was a little diappointed. It just seems like a bit of a convienence to say, well embryonic stem cells don’t work anyway so I don’t have to worry about it, because it’s dodging the question, imo. The bravest people were those against etcr back when the scientific community swore they were the answer.

But, still, overall a great Q & A and McCain did very well. Loved him recounting his experience in Vietman, his actions there cannot be overstated. I was going to vote for him all along even if he was not the candidate of my choice, but tonight he reinforced my support. If we could just get him to change his mind on “climate change” and immigration, we’d be set.

I am surprised that it went so well with Warren as host. He actually didn’t annoy me and his questions were good.
