If you're keeping score at home, here's the list so far (as far as I remember)

McCain = GWB, Teddy Roosevelt.
Obama = GWB, FDR, JFK, Jimmy Carter.

Am I missing any others?

The better to lean upon as he shiats himself.

How about we put down the goddamn stick for a while?

Oh, and for GoRedSoxGo, here's a list for Obama: FiveThirtyEight.com

Sounds like another report from McCain's base, the media.

"I don't e-mail, I've never felt the particular need to e-mail," Mr. McCain said.

GoRedSoxGo:Obama = GWB, FDR, JFK, Jimmy Carter.

Am I missing any others?

Lincoln, RFK

Saborlas:The better to lean upon as he shiats himself.

I think the headline should say he prefers soft stool and a big suppository.

This proves McCain is old. He's quoting history most Americans don't know.

McCain is obviously Bob Dole part 2, a comparison that has been made a lot.

Obama has been called John Kerry and McGovern by the right and RFK and Lincoln by the left.

MickCollins:This proves McCain is old. He's quoting history most Americans don't know.

Well to be fair, he was there to witness it all.

Bully!

McCain's more of a Ruxpin than a Roosevelt.

McCain prefers a soft walk to the IHOP and a big stick of pancakes

Fixed.

Although its funny because McCain is actually the exact opposite of the Teddy maxim. He talks big but carries a limp noodle.

His entire senate career is talking the talk but failling to walk the walk. Look at his decade long "war on pork." What has he accomplished? Nada. He rants about it and pretends to fight it, but he doesn't actually DO anything.

d976:McCain's more of a Ruxpin than a Roosevelt.

He's got a tape player in his back? That answers some questions..

So instead of Bull Moose we get Bullshait?

Teddy Ruxpin couldn't lift his hands over his head either.

I think you're missing a couple WMDs there, MPAVictoria:.

you aren't serious, because you can't possibly be.

1060-AM, philadelphia, last night:

"yes, the change of heart on the FISA bill was definitely a small policy shift for obama"

right, low-bridging your base on a promise you made in order to get the nomination. a small policy shift indeed.

Descartes:Bully!

i lol'ed!

MickCollins:This proves McCain is old. He's quoting history most Americans don't know.

Which is sad considering it's history most Americans should know.

I think his stance on Gay Adotion could hurt him with many people; at least it bothered me. I would like to retain the *term* Marriage for a Man and a Woman, but for purly reasons of holding on to a *tradition*. I would like to see Homosexual couples share the same legal rights, however, and think that any *two parent* household is preferable to one; be it homosexual or heterosexual.

Otherwise I thought the article was a positive for him. (Who cares if he never e-mails, he's right, there really is no *need* for him to, that's what aides are for :P )

GAT_00:How about we put down the goddamn stick for a while?

LOL. Thank you, sir.

McCain prefers a soft walk and a big stick walking cane!

CanisNoir:Otherwise I thought the article was a positive for him. (Who cares if he never e-mails, he's right, there really is no *need* for him to, that's what aides are for :P )

yes, because no president has ever been successful without emailing from his blackberry every 2 minutes.

So does the beave...

I am not so sure of that. Computers and the internet are such an important part of our lives and our commerce now. I think it would at the very least be beneficial if he grasped the basic mechanics.

MPAVictoria:I am not so sure of that. Computers and the internet are such an important part of our lives and our commerce now. I think it would at the very least be beneficial if he grasped the basic mechanics.

Meh, it sounded like he had a grasp on the basics just hasn't felt a need to inundate himself with it. Sure he's older and therefore prefers to read a newspaper over a blog; but I don't doubt for a second he's running around unaware of what's being said and how it's evolving. That's what his aids and advisors are for.

Reagan, for both.

WTF is this, a profile in People? Try giving Gramm's comments 1/10th of the heat you gave Bittergate....oops, guess that's already gone.

Especially since he gave nothing resembling a valid reason. "Both parents" are apparently only important if they have differing sex organs.

John Who???

/oh, wait... you mean the Bush clone guy

themindiswatching:stick of pancakes



Well he's got my vote, then.

CanisNoir:I would like to retain the *term* Marriage for a Man and a Woman, but for purly reasons of holding on to a *tradition*.

With all the travesties called "marriage" through the centuries, what tradition are you referring to? What about those who marry merely for national identity or legal status? Those are okay, but two people who really love each other, too bad for them, huh?

trog69:What about those who marry merely for national identity or legal status?

so you're suggesting we deingrate marriage because some people abuse it, but not, say, islam?

/liberal idiots

WTF does Islam have to do with same-sex marriage?

Conservatard.

"Excuse me, but I have to go feed the clock."

I'm not saying that due to many Societal ills, Marriage isn't a joke of what it once was; it is. I'm also admitting I have no other reason than emotional. I just think *husband and wife* and *Marriage* should be between man and a woman. Not trying to deny rights to anyone not trying to say homosexuals are incapable of love; just saying as a Heterosexual, leave me something why bother with syntax.

You obviously read too much into my position.

trog69: WTF does Islam have to do with same-sex marriage?

you think that things done in the name of marriage undermine it. but god forbid I suggested islam is violent, you'd probably whine like nancy kerrigan.

GAT_00: How about we put down the goddamn stick for a while?

See Zimbabwe for what happens when all you do is speak softly.

Or Sudan, or Burma, or Rwanda, or Cambodia, or East Timor, or Ethiopia...you get the picture. Speak softly doesn't work without the big stick - and vice versa. This is lost both on George W. Bush and his loudest critics.

Two Cats One Bowl: You mean TALK softly, subby?

This!

SPEAK softly and carry a big stick, not walk. Is it a joke or does Subby not know his Teddy quotes?

I'm voting for Obama because I support abortions for gay married babies and stopping the War on Camaro IROCs. I think we need to focus on combating the detergents in Afghan stains, and McCain wears diapers so he couldn't possible mustard the relish.

Comparing John McCain to Theodore Chipmunk is like calling the color yellow red. Try telling a cop that yellow is red and see what I mean. It just doesn't cotton.

Are you listening to me?

Methinks macksame actually prefers a soft stool and a long nap.

captain_napalm: you think that things done in the name of marriage undermine it. but god forbid I suggested islam is violent, you'd probably whine like nancy kerrigan.

And once again, you have no answer, so you figger you'd just change the subject.

Yea, I don't recommend that.

Yes, yes. My bad. I finally get a greenlight, and can't resist a typo at the same time (facepalm).
