I think the people running McCain's campaign want Obama to win.

So McCain is attacking Obama for both being too liberal *AND* not being liberal enough?

Is his whole campaign senile?

Lionel Mandrake: I think the people running McCain's campaign want Obama to win.

THIS.

Lionel Mandrake: I think the people running McCain's campaign want Obama to win.

Finally catching on to that, huh?

Lionel Mandrake: I think the people running McCain's campaign want Obama to win.

I felt that way about Hillary's campaign too.

I think it's a clumsy attempt to try to knock some of the mystique off Obama, to possibly plant a seed of doubt in the minds of some supporters that there's not going to be much "change" if Obama's elected, so you might as well vote for the crazy old coot.

But I'd be curious to see what kind of bills Obama is voting with Bush on. My guess is that they're so non-controversial and so bipartisan that you'd have to be Ron Paul to vote against them.

John McCain is the master of talking out of both sides of his mouth

That still makes me laugh every time I see it.

If anyone pays attention to this retarded talking point at all, I'm sure Obama will respond with just that. Maybe leaving Ron Paul's name out of it, but.

McCain has proven his credentials in taking a different approach than Bush. McCain is an inclusive moderate leader, not a divisive partisan ideologue like Bush or Obama. McCain is an experienced man who is ready for the job, unlike Bush or Obama.

Which half?

The one he spent on vacation?

Heck, even I backed him on that one, he did less damage that way.

Lionel Mandrake: I think the people running McCain's campaign want Obama to win.

I like to phrase it differently;

Sometimes I think the only reason the Republicans nominated McCain was to punish him

McCainDemocrat: McCain has proven his credentials in taking a different approach than Bush. McCain is an inclusive moderate leader, not a divisive partisan ideologue like Bush or Obama. McCain is an experienced man who is ready for the job, unlike Bush or Obama.

shiat. I thought you were being sarcastic 'till I realized it was you.

I think I need to break out the color coding.

McCain smear thread bingo today, damn.

There's a lot of similarities between Bush and Obama.

Both made their campaigns about unity while unleashing divisive partisanship.

Both were not ready for the job.

Both used drugs in their youth and had no serious job history until getting into politics.

Granted, Bush won the 2000 general election with fewer votes than Gore. While Obama won the 2008 primaries with fewer votes than Clinton. That's slightly different.

Barack Obama, The Most Liberal member of Congress, won't be able to evade John McCain in this election.

Unright: So McCain is attacking Obama for both being too liberal *AND* not being liberal enough?

Is his whole campaign senile?

He's starting to make me seriously believe this. He is a strong willed man (you'd have to be to survive 5 1/2 years in a POW camp), but he's played both sides of each issue so much in the last month that I'm not sure he knows where he stands.

McCainDemocrat: There's a lot of similarities between Bush and Obama.

Boring.

Here's my questions. Do people like McCainDemocrat actually believe their intellectual dishonesty or do they feel it's the only way to push their greedy interests?

King Something: RON PAUL!!!1!one!

Just because you back Bush doesn't mean you're a conservative.

Bush was liberal on issues like education spending and immigration. Obama agreeing with Bush on spending doesn't make him a conservative.

When you consider the effects of the deficit, then we need a deficit hawk like John McCain in the White House. Not a big spender like Obama.

Yeah, they both have the letter 'b' in their names.

Lionel Mandrake: I think the people running McCain's campaign want Obama to win.

I'm starting to think the same thing. However, you would be foolish to overestimate the intelligence of the american voter.

Stay away McCainDemocrat, DanLPoon, McCainTheUniter et al.

Fark admins need to get on this, I'm sick of seeing this guy post through a bunch of different accounts. Using multiple fark names, posting manufactured talking points in many different threads = an attempt to manipulate public opinion using deception. I expect that sh.t to be tolerated on Hillaryis44 not fark.com.

I guess they figure if they attack Obama from every single angle at every level of insignificance, something will eventually bring him down. It's a very inefficient strategy.

Ya i no i men wat is Obma gona do abt teh defisit LOL al he has a spech he gaev u cant sel spechez LOL what a terrorist that osama i mean obama hussein bin obama LOl murder rapist

This would be the same "deficit hawk" who voted for Bush's half-trillion-dollar war in Iraq?

Neurochemist: Using multiple fark names, posting manufactured talking points in many different threads = an attempt to manipulate public opinion using deception.

That many people read the threads here?

Ha ha ha, you sure about that?

Stop trying to use intimidation tactics. Especially when I don't use multiple Fark names, when I use my own 'talking points' and when I only stick to Presidential threads.

Neurochemist, Why do you hate freedom?

It's a Brave New Fark. High post counts are more likely if trolls exist to elicit responses. To a degree, trolls are good for business.

McCainDemocrat: Neurochemist, Why do you hate freedom?

Maybe he supports the Patriot Act?

One F Jef: English, motherfarker. Do you speak it?

rppp01a: Maybe he supports the Patriot Act?

To paraphrase Michael Jingozian, It has the word Patriot in it, how can it not be a good idea?

Also, if I wanted to manipulate public opinion, I would actually submit articles. Not comment in threads where only 50 people (at most) actually read them, and where 30 of them have ignored me.

McCainDemocrat: Neurochemist, Why do you hate freedom?

Why do you abuse it and cry about the blowback?

eh, big deal. still doesnt beat the story of Al Gore. he's just some guy who was busted last year for using massive amounts of energy and then once caught had to run out and install solar panels only to his surprise (or not) is using 10% more energy this year than last! Now thats a man who is truly concerned about the environment. I for one would like to follow his lead by using more energy this year...who's with me?

McCainDemocrat: McCain has proven his credentials in taking a different approach than Bush. McCain is an inclusive moderate leader, not a divisive partisan ideologue like Bush or Obama. McCain is an experienced man who is ready for the job, unlike Bush or Obama.

How can I tell?

I loved the man when he was against torture but then he wasn't against torture. I thought John McCain would make a great leader when he he told me that he didn't want Roe v Wade overturned, but times do change. I remember a John McCain that was against the tax cuts instituted by President Bush, but then he changed his mind.

I could go on, I'm sure there are sites all over the Internet keeping track of his changes in positions - and to be honest with you, I'm not too sure I mind someone that changes their mind every once in a while as new information gets brought to light. It's just that when you can't depend on a person to not change their mind on what is the most important issue for me as a voter, I think I'll stick to someone that has a history of consistency in their history - even if they do change their minds on occasion.

I will give you credit though, you actually mentioned some of the things that are positive about Senator McCain for a change.

By the way, how do you know that once Senator McCain gets elected he will keep the promises that helped you to decide to vote for him? I mean it wouldn't be the first time the guy has changed his mind...

USP .45: McCain smear thread bingo today, damn.

Oh, you must have missed the Politics tab on your way in here - because there seems to be several trash Obama threads going on now. Maybe you'd feel comfortable in a thread where you can be just like everyone else.

Come on man, you're a damn site smarter than this.

You know, I've been thinking along these lines myself. I get the feeling Fark isn't about the experience and loyal members, it's about site traffic now, and high comments. Letting trolls run free lets that happen.

Yeah, I'm still not happy with you about this. Danlpoon doesn't need any more encouragement to start more alts and spout gibberish like a monkey on acid.

Yeah, unfunded mandates for education != education spending.

ok, ok, you got me there.
But every time I read an awesome post by McCainDemocrat, it's like having Ted Levine from 'Silence of the Lambs' to come do his crazy tucker dance to 'Goodbye Horses' in my living room!

You are the Fred Thompson of trolling?

Weird, I'd expect someone like you to be fine with Bush, seeing as how he's a Republican too and all.

Danlpoon is a punk trying to steal my glory.

Anyways, what's to say that bidiploid isn't danlpoon too? Huh?
