Who's going to Yuma with me? Out of touch and seems to be senile.

you shouldnt take about old people like that. McCain is like 85. You should show more respect to really old old people.

As you well know, respect is something which is earned, by actions and not a calendar. I know you were using sarcasm though.

I've never seen this but considering this is a press conference and he is talking to journalists... it seems to me that he is actually praising American Labor. $50 an hour is a hell of a lot of money if you a picking lettuce in Yumma xD (Over $100,000 if you work 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week for 52 weeks)

So he is challenging the journalits to work there for probably more then they earn But guess what? Journalits arent as tough as American Labor who actually do the job for like what $4-6 an hour.

But that is just an educated guess b/c i have no context

Look at reality. Americans don't pick lettuce for $4 an hour. Illegal aliens/migrant worker do it. Farm workers aint making 50 an hour and actually that speech was given while he was in support of "amnesty" which means he was defending the illegals and the criminals that hire them.

No it doesn't, it's taken out of context, I can't really tell what he means.

Can you explain?

haha

lol I love how you did the maths.

just a few talking points here

- Courage under fire ( THIS IS LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE and shows peoples ability to deal with decisions under stressful events...ehem the 3am phone call crap).
I would say more then any president yet to come that McCain has showed he can act like a true leader under the most difficult of situations and knows first hand what sacrifices are made when sending soldiers to war.

-as far as his running mate bring a purely political choice for votes? durr, thats what vice presidents are for and have always been used as, to say otherwise is to ignore history.

There are a group of men who served with McCain in Vietnam and say that he is no war hero.

and there are groups of people who say scientology is a religion...it doesnt make them right. The facts of his actions have been clearly documented. saying crap like that is like going up to neil armstrong and saying he didnt walk on the moon and is a traitor and lair...and we know what happens to those people.

Ok, in that case he is not attacking American workers, rather showing some sympathy towards illegal immigrants.

haha

Yes, that was a very stupid remark of McCain's, from back when he used to be pro-illegal immigration. Thankfully he's listened to the American people and changed his position on immigration, and I don't think he would make the mistake of saying something like that again.

And McCain's put-down of American workers is nothing to Obama's multiple put-downs of America itself.

[Zodiac]

Didn't he say this a really long time ago? Like a more than a few years ago?

[Francisco Montana]

@Oswald von Wolkenstein: You call having yust about every bone in your body broken multiple times over the course of years simply because you wouldnt sell out your country and give in or be sent home ahead of those who had been there longer war profiteering? Good Lord. Its amazing what people will say about a true modern day American Hero.

The reason that is all -still- relevent is because while Obama has been selling out his country for votes McCain, since the age of 17, has been upholding his oath to faithfully defend the United States and its Constitution.

I agree, he was wrong to support unabashed illegal-immigration. But to sit there on the Left (the bastion of Illegal Immigration...FOR VOTES) is really, by any standards, complete hypocracy.

[danzig]

Fine and dandy....but do you REALLY think he followed that credo in selecting Palin? Do you really think of all the folks in America (male and female) Palin is the most qualified to lead in this complicated world? Or did he choose his personal political advantages over what's best for America?

Being a PoW is a heroic thing....but it is not a factor in presidential credentials, no matter how often the Repubs choose to spin it that way.

You mean like when Thompson specifically said last night being a POW doesnt qualify one to be President but it does define someones character and character defines leadership worth. I still find it hilarious people talking bout Palin not be qualified to be President *if* something happens to Mccain but Obama is qualified to be President right off the bat. Hell Ill just Jimmy Carter's own words, that no one is "ready" for the job. It is such a hypocritical stance, no one knows enough about Palin yet to judge her but hey why let that stop anything right? Just reguritated Democratic party talking points instead!

Danzig? The reason you and I see this differently is that you place more emphasis on experience, while I place my faith in judgement and intelligence.
My arguement to that would be that Ted Bundy had lots of experience murdering people, but he obviously didn't have good judgement.

What the heck is experience good for if it's just going to get us into more wars, and keep us in a worsening economy. It means NOTHING.

I have heard this before... wait...General Wesley Clark said something similar a few months ago and he got crucified for it. I guess, it's ok for Thompson to say it.

ill just pretty much sign my name at the bottom of this too if thats alright with u.

and add. this was obviously a clip taken out of context on more then one level.

Except he isn't a modern hero! He fought in Vietnam, which is about 40 years ago, and frankly, the World has moved a lot since then, and the question still remains: Do you want a war veteran or do you want an educated man running your country for the next 4-8 years?

From an outside perspective I really cannot see what McCain & Palin can offer the US, other than more of Bush & Cheney for the next 4 (God forbid 8) years.

My father's generation fought in WWII and Korea - my generation fought in Vietnam. That makes him contemporary (modern) and even younger than many living American veterans. Trust me -- he is a genuine American hero.

He is a graduate of the naval academy -- doen't this qualify as formal education? I could not do better than first alternate for the air force academy and I consider myself bright. And do you not think someone who is 72 years of age can learn a bit outside the formal education process?

If you heard the speech -- he learned wuite a bt aobout himself by his pow experiences. No value in such an education?

Personally I will opt for the educated military veteran.

Would you mind listing a few examples of that? Or even one.

What exactly is McCains views on immigration, both legal and illegal? The last I read from him was giving illegals a guest worker pass, or something to that effect. Complete liberal trash. It would be reassuring to hear McCain has rethought this policy.
