Yeah, it's painful to see such key points left unsaid.

Y'know, I don't want to be the one telling John McCain to fight.

He may fight, he may not, but that's not the particular piece of advice I think he needs to hear from anybody.

I disdain all doomsayers.

I'm still waiting for that same fire McCain had at the end of his convention speech. Is he hiding it for some reason? If he isn't going to fight for me why in the heck should I fight for him?

re: #1 DeliLama

deli -

DON'T ASK! That is all.

Maybe John McCain is so tired of fighting other Republicans that he's too tired to fight against a DemocRat...

Nail the jello to the wall, John.

Are you serious?

No one has to tell Sarah.

If you need something done, ask a woman.

Hopefully, if all things go according to plan, tomorrow I will complete a nifty little esaay of political analysis that will hopefully take the "doom" out of "doomsday scenario."

John, get on Obama's six, and don't come home unless you're beyond winchester.

_{"Winchester" (when a pilot is out of missiles and down to his gun, as in "I've gone Winchester")}

Even when I didn't agree with John McCain on an issue, I always believed that he had good reasons for doing whatever it was, for reasons that he believed were right. Unlike certain other Presidential candidates I could name. Standing up and screaming has never been his style, and in fact he never looks good when he gets angry (remember in 2000 when he lost his temper with Bush during a debate).

I'm going to trust him at least a little longer.

I wish both McCain and Palin had a rain-man-esque memory of the details and when Biden or Obama makes no sense, to jump on them immediately with the facts.

John and Sarah are going to be interviewed on Hannity and Colmes tonight, I believe.

Is it? It's on FOX's website as H and C ...... maybe both ?

Liked the McCain, Guiliani, & Romney combo as crusaders, but it ain't going to happen!

The Democrats injected John McCain with a paralytic toxin before the general election campaign even started. It's called Toxo-Cantankerosis Temper-Tantromium, which renders one unable to move, for fear of being labeled a senile old coot who can't control one's emotions.

It is among the most toxic substances in the modern pharmacopia.

re: #21 akak

He's supposedly on Xm now but I can't get his channel. I guess I need to call customer support.

Dennis is right. FIGHT, DAMNIT!

McCain may be too old to fight and I don't mean that disrespectfully. Obama has youth and good looks behind him and that 1/2 the battle in politics.

For what it's worth -
I have grown weary of a candidate who won't fight, who persists in trying to "reach across the isle" to people who have no inclination toward reciprocity. Listening to him speak is like listening to someone read a children's storybook. If it wasn't for Palin, I would probably vote for a third-party candidate. I will be voting for Palin in November. I know, she isn't running for President, but I am not sure McCain is, either.

The left-wing media are tying to kill of our fighting spirit.

pffft. Sounds like many in here don't need the assistance of the left-wing media to do that. Apparently too many have already QUIT! With three+ weeks to go. I can't believe some of them were also military or other occupations that aren't normally associated with quitters. But, to each his own, I'd rather find out early on who's got my back.

Ok, fellow lizardettes - how thick is Sarah Palin's hair? Looks pretty darn thick to me. I like it down, too - makes her look softer.

I'm not racist- I'm just anti-commie.

re: #151 kansas

He's racist because he's Republican. If he was for Obama, which its looking like he might be, he wouldn't be racist no matter what he said.

I have heard John McCain called a lot of nasty things. But REPUBLICAN? Have you no decency at long last, sir?

He's the one that needs to show some fight. We can't talk up something that doesn't exist.

re: #123 dak

Saw a story that says McCain is racist because he said "that one".

I've wondered, but never bothered to count, about how many common English turns of phrase—some perhaps from Shakespeare or Chaucer or even from back a thousand years or more—that are now "tainted" as racist or non-PC in some way. I can think of a few that were used for over a thousand years without giving offense that suddenly have been dropped from common speech in the last forty years.

re: #142 kansas

Listening to John McCain advocate socialism (buying bad mortgages) last night does not give me a warm fuzzy that he will govern much differently from BHO.

There is a reason that the conservative base despises McCain.

But if he loses, it's on him and his "me-too" populist bullshit.

This is the speech he should give:

Warning - R-rated.

For several reasons, I think I understand McCain fairly well. He will say or do nothing that would, in his mind, compromise his dignity or sense of personal honor. He will talk straight and work to persuade. He is a passionate man on the issues, but is handicapped as a politician since he will keep it largely internalized. We will need to fight for him and he will not suddenly become someone that he is not out of the expediency of the moment or to satisfy the wishes of his backers.

It's a damn shame since his opponent has no such constraints and will say and do anything imaginable to reach his end.

John McCain is at his center a very good man and, yes, we will have to drag him across the finish line.

Nah, I slept all day yesterday. I need to get back on schedule.

I did Nashville - Tokyo (via LAX) and Nashville - Bangkok (via LAX and Taipei) for 20 years, twice a year at least. Often had 36 hour transit times, at a minimum.

I found that a) drinking lots of water, b) eating lite meals at regular meal times, and c) making myself stay awake until 9 pm after I arrived was the only way to get back in sync within 3-4 days.

No naps - going for a walk when I got really sleepy (about 2 pm) helped.

re: #25 zombie

The Democrats injected John McCain with a paralytic toxin before the general election campaign even started. It's called Toxo-Cantankerosis Temper-Tantromium, which renders one unable to move, for fear of being labeled a senile old coot who can't control one's emotions.

It is among the most toxic substances in the modern pharmacopia.

He needs to take a page from Andrew Jackson's book and challenge those that accuse him of having anger management problems to a duel to the death, in order to prove them wrong once and for all.

Archives prove Obama was a New Party member

The New Party was a radical left organization, established in 1992, to amalgamate far left groups and push the United States into socialism by forcing the Democratic Party to the left. It was an attempt to regroup the forces on the left in a new strategy to take power, burrowing from within. The party only lasted until 1998, when its strategy of "fusion" failed to withstand a Supreme Court ruling. But dissolving the party didn't stop the membership, including Barack Obama, from continuing to move the Democrats leftward with spectacular success.

/it's official, Lord Ocama is a card carrying socialist

. . .

J. Brown of Politically Drunk on Power has dug up multiple documentary sources (with hyperlinks) proving that Barack Obama was a member of the New Party, despite alleged attempts to cover up his tracks by scrubbing evidence. He or she deserves tremendous praise for doing this detective work.

While it's clear that she does not mean to be insulting, it is indicative of her internalized awareness of her cultural/racial perception.

OT

Come and visit my hometown, just watch your back.

I have had a hunch that John McCain is going to save the heavy ammo for the last debate. In last nights debate, they had like, what, one minute to make their statement. It would have been next to impossible to call Obama out in one minute, without having to keep using the next minutes to try and tie it all together. I think that McCain will use the last debate to confront Obama about his ties with the murderer/terrorist, Fannie Mae, Freddy Mac, Barney Frank, the 2005 legislation that the Demonrats shot down, etc.

I could be wrong, nothing will surprise me either way, but when speaking, people most remember what they heard last.

A "townhall" setting for that debate, where Brokenjaw left some very important topics to not be talked about, would have been a very tough place for McCain to address Obama's very questionable ties, to everything, and to do it in any effective way.

Hopefully, McCain will come out swinging in the last debate.

If not, oh well, my Faith is not in any man.

hannity is asking all the good questions, and Sarah Palin and Sen. John McCain are giving straightforward and good answers. Too bad it's on Fox, I wish it was on something that reaches the lefties, too.

When's the next debate?

A person is either a conservative, or a liberal, "moderates" are morons who like to think that they are what the election hinges on, while they hold onto their liberal beliefs.

Sen Obama if health care is a right shouldn't it be added to the Constitution, and if so, what other rights do you believe Americans do not have that should be added to the constitution by amendment?

Well, uh, Bob, when I am president, we will uh, amend the Constitution to uh, first, add Amendment Number 28 - the Right to Health Care. And there are a few others that we can add at the same time. Those would include, uh, Amendment Number 29 - The Right to have an Abortion, Amendment Number 30 - would abolish Amendment Number 2 (The Right to Bear Arms) and most importantly Tom, I would offer Amendment Number 31 - The Right to Nationalize Industry and confiscate wealth on behalf of the "middle class" in America Bob, because that's only fair.

He was pissed off that McCain had nominated Palin without consulting the allies.

I am not making this up.

I think it was in the Guardian, dated 10 Sep. His line of reasoning was that since Britain is the US' best ally, and sure to be sucked into any war this crazy woman might start, then the Brits should get to vet any selection of candidates.

Maybe he didn't get the point about the American revolution...

While I take your point, you do raise an issue that annoys me: the jumbling of "health care" with "health insurance." I do believe that NO ONE in an emergency should be turned away from medical care, but having insurance is an individual responsibility.

I have wondered, however, whether the government could facilitate people's forming their own groups for insurance coverage.
