This is actually a brilliant attack by McCain. This will force Obama to admit, in some way, that he doesn't have experiance.

 
Rascal King 2008-09-19 05:41:55 PM  
Or it will simply force Obama to point out that McCain is full of shiat, like he does in the video.

Except for the fact that it might force people to think about McCain's involvement in all of those Washington problems. Were this to happen during the debate, Obama could just say "Keating Five, Senator" and watch McCain explode.

I think what everyone seems to forget is that Obama is a consummate Washington insider who has not been in Washington long enough. He's both responsible for everything that is bad, yet has no experience with anything important.

This combination of characteristics is not merely contradictory, it is also a clear and present danger to the well-being of our nation.

I think Democrats should be concerned that this inexperienced insider is the standard bearer for their party. This compromisingly connected ingenue is likely to blunder into circumstances he has never experienced before, and make the situation even worse than the existing chaos for which he is utterly responsible.

This dangerous combination of insider connection and outsider naivety is why any sane voter would chose McCain/Palin. Their combination of long-term Washington experience coupled with a fresh outsider's perspective is exactly what this nation needs.

Oh shut up.

"Barack Obama will destroy the nation" is such a load of crap everything else you say is drowned out by that insanity.

If McCain wins, will I be disappointed? Sure, but I'm not going to say he is incapable or a "danger."

How the fark would any political party with any logic or reason elect a "dangerous" person to the Presidency? Are you saying there are no wealthy Democratic donors? That they don't want to continue to be wealthy? You know why all anarchists are poor? Because they have NOTHING to lose.

Furthermore, the cool thing about America is we have this series of "checks and balances." If you do some research, you'll find that the President has actual limits on his power. I know this seems crazy, but that's how the government has worked for the past 200 years. So, if you're really concerned that Obama would be a clear and present danger to the United States, why don't you make a promise RIGHT NOW, to move out of the United States if he wins. You wouldn't want your family in harm's way, would you?

What? So Biden is inexperienced too? You can't use the fact the McCain/Palin is experience and an outsider's perspective is better than just Obama who has only an outsider's perspective ignoring the fact that Biden's also on the ticket and has much more experience. As par as what Palin brings to the table? Not much. She has basically no insight into the world. She thinks visiting/being near/changing planes other countries makes her some kind of foreign policy whiz. She was married to an oil man and governor of a state that produces a bunch of oil and all of a sudden she "Knows more about energy than anyone else in the US." When she really doesn't know how much her state was producing relative to the rest of the nation. You would think that's some pretty basic knowledge for someone who knows so much about energy. I could go on, but the point is, Palin adds nothing to the ticket other than the novelty value of a woman candidate. The reason they picked her is because if elected, they could easily brush her under the rug and ignore her. They wouldn't be able to do that with other, more politically experienced, republican women.

Perhaps, his profile does have the "College Republicans: Why Should Old People Have All the Dumb" cartoon. But, sarcasm only works when you're talking beyond what other people are saying. There are plenty of Republicans that fall in line with exactly that sentiment, that Obama is "dangerous."

Yes, but what he posted is exactly self-contradictory and really, really, really, really, really, really, really obviously satire.

Obama's response can be as simple as "I was not a member of the Congress that (did bad thing X). And unlike John McCain, I was not a member of the Congress that (did bad thing Y). But I was a member of the Congress that (did good thing Z), and as president I will work with Congress to prevent (bad things X and Y) from happening again."

At this point, I believe that John McCain could arrive at a campaign stop, dressed in a Donald Duck suit with a rubber dog turd glued to his forehead, and some numbnutz would praise his brilliant strategy to throw Obama off topic.

Barack Obama is a wonder. He's too black and not black enough, a messiah and an antichrist, a measely community organizer and an elitist, an atheist muslim with a radical preacher, dangerously inexperienced and solely responsible for Washington's problems. He's the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
