McSame is in serious trouble, and the panic is palpable. His best hope is that he can get through tuesday's debate without showing any more of the wild swings or extreme measures he's been resorting to lately.

Most of all, Senator McCain, be yourself. Talk from your heart and not your head. If you really believe that you are the man who can make a positive change for the future of this country (and I believe that you are), then say it. Do not have any regrets.

Senator McCain, please give the American people a plan for:

creating new jobs for the future,
lowering taxes,
educating and retraining the workforce of the future,
providing clean energy,
rewarding saving,
encouraging independence,
staying free.

Positive changes for the future. Give the American people hope. Let them know that they are the greatest. It is because of the American people that we will be okay.

McCain has displayed many symptoms of DEMENTIA...his fabrication of the truth, irritabililty, labile moods, erractic behavior, and unrepressed anger, and his poor judgement are serious symptoms, and must be considered by the voters. His problems with knowing appropriate behavior are also surfacing. It was an embarrassment that he stared at Palins bottom while she was giving a speech, and also the symptoms that came out during the last debate. McCain presented himself as a surly, irritable, and angry old man. He's becoming scary! Please carefully consider these signs and symptoms...don't trust me look up DEMENTIA, and see for yourself.

If his wife were a brunette her name would be Mortilda.

As for his choice of Sarah Palin, she would work well in a Funeral Home. One big deadhead!

However it is the only Funeral Home with a Navy Firing Squad...only it is 6 guns short of a 21 gun salute!

As I'm writing this, there is a banner above saying "A Proven Maverick" with a picture of Sarah Palin." Right next to it, a headline that reads "60 percent say Depression Likely"

I guess that means that John McCain is an irrelevent, Grumpy Old Geezer.

Or are we to be subjected to another Weak President and Strong Vice President.

G.H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan
G W. Bush and Dick (I shot my attorney) Cheney

One thing is clear: John McCain has a fetish with younger women. Apparently his 50 year-old wife isn't enough for him...

"It is because of the American people we will be okay."

One question "Uh WHAT THE ^%#@ DID YOU SAY?

During the 8 year period of this administration the American Race did:

Invaded the country of Iraq, spending $10 billion a month, giving the country a 79 billion surplus, adding to our 9 trillion dollar deficit in this country, when it had nothing to do with 9/11.

Americans helped in the deregulation of the mortgage/credit markets creating what could become a global depression.

American people allowed a President to fight for freedom in Afghanistan, while the freedoms of Americans at home were taken away under the guise of Homeland Security.

Need I go further?

Let's quit the patriotism bull. When McCain/Palin say it's "Unpatriotic to pay higher taxes in time of war", and borrow such money from Communist China, we are about as lame in this world than those we disrespect.

The word is called H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-S-Y. That is what McCain/Palin is proud of and all about. Pss...pass it on!

Can you say "funeral home" and get his best suit!!!

CNN Poll: A majority of debate watchers polled thought Obama was more intelligent, by a 57 percent to 25 percent margin over McCain. Twice as many debate watchers also thought Obama more clearly expressed than McCain, with 60 percent giving the nod to the Democratic nominee and 30 percent to his GOP opponent...

Funny you should mention that, he's taking suppliments for Dementia and Altz. Since they are suppliments, he can avoid disclaiming as medical...

NY daily news...

Campaign reps for Sen. John McCain obtained an herbal supplement touted to enhance memory and keep energy levels up for the candidate before his joust with Sen. Barack Obama, a source tells us.

http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/oc...

PILL THRILL: Former Broncos bruiser Bill Romanowski wouldn't dish to the New York Daily News earlier this week when the newspaper reported that Republican presidential candidate John McCain was taking Romo's Neuro1 herbal supplement to keep his memory sharp and his energy levels up. But the former linebacker talked to me.

"John McCain is taking my Neuro1 to stay sharp," Romo told me Thursday. "He was really sharp for the debate (against Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama) last week. For anyone with that level of stress and that travel schedule (Neuro1) is really helpful."

http://www.lasplash.com/publish/Los_Angeles_R...

Digging into more articles, we see that these are not your run-of-the-mill Vitamin E supplements, or whatever. Here is how the product, Neuro1, is described:
The ingredients in Neuro1™ have the ability to help people with a variety of challenges, including attention deficit disorder, dementia and Alzheimer’s, as well as depression.
The pills are for, among other things, dementia and Alzheimer's? Anybody think that's relevant? If one were predisposed to lying, what a convenient way not to have to divulge that McCain is on dementia and Alzheimer's medication since officially this is "not" medication - thus no need to divulge.

Going to vote for the Heartbeat & the Halfwit, a step DOWN from Dumbya and the Evil one??

Perhaps John McCain is not a perfect replica of George W. Bush, but the parallels go beyond the senator's enthusiastic support for the toxic mix of Bush's imperial foreign policy and his arrogant indifference to the travails of our domestic existence. Neither man seems to have any sense of how we actually live or what we need from government. How else to explain their common antipathy to Social Security and Medicare, which, after public education, represent the nation's most successful programs? Can you imagine the panic today if McCain and Bush had succeeded in tying Social Security to investments in the stock market? They view government as nothing more than a proud sponsor of the military-industrial complex while ignoring the threat to homeland security from corporate pirates.

Don't say we weren't warned. Bush came into office believing fervently that what was good for Enron and its CEO, Kenneth "Kenny Boy" Lay, Bush's top financial sponsor, was good for the country. So, too, McCain, who chose Phil Gramm as co-chair of his presidential campaign, ignoring the huge loophole in Gramm's Commodity Futures Trading Act, which allowed Enron, where his wife, Wendy Gramm, was on the board of directors, to so shamelessly game the energy market.

Trumpeting the benefits of the legislation he tacked onto an omnibus spending bill the day before the 2000 Christmas recess, then-Sen. Gramm stated: "It protects financial institutions from over-regulation. It provides legal certainty for the $60 billion market in swaps." Those swaps created the toxic investments that U.S. taxpayers are now stuck with as the nation struggles to save those unregulated financial institutions from bankruptcy.

McCain, who should have learned the cost of radical deregulation from his own involvement in the savings and loan scandal as one of the infamous "Keating Five," totally bought Gramm's line. McCain was the chair of Gramm's 1996 presidential bid and up until major Wall Street firms collapsed continued to echo the insistence of the former-Texas-senator-turned-ba nker that there was no real crisis in the financial markets.

McCain's game is craps. So is Jeff Dearth's. Jeff was at the table when McCain showed up and happily made room for him. Apparently there is some kind of rule or tradition in craps that everyone's hands are supposed to be above the table when the dice are about to be thrown. McCain--"very likely distracted by one of the many people who approached him that evening," Jeff says charitably--apparently was violating this rule. A small middle-aged woman at the table, apparently a "regular," reached out and pulled McCain's arm away. I'll let Jeff take over the story:

"McCain immediately turned to the woman and said between clenched teeth:'DON'T TOUCH ME.' The woman started to explain...McCain interrupted her:'DON'T TOUCH ME,' he repeated viciously. The woman again tried to explain.'DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO?' McCain continued, his voice rising and his hands now raised in the 'bring it on' position. He was red-faced. By this time all the action at the table had stopped. I was completely shocked. McCain had totally lost it, and in the space of about ten seconds.'Sir, you must be courteous to the other players at the table,' the pit boss said to McCain. "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? ASK ANYBODY AROUND HERE WHO I AM."

This being Puerto Rico, the pit boss might not have known McCain. But the senator continued in full fury--"DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO? DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?"--and crisis was avoided only when Jeff offered to change places and stand between McCain and the woman who had touched his arm.

What makes you think that first hand account penned by a professional journalist is a "fairy tale"?

Since it is true, how is it character assassination?

I thought you were concerned with knowing the truth? Did you not say how important it is for Americans to know the whole truth?

first of all, this person is a confirmed supporter of Obama. His recollection of the account will be colored by his tendancy to emphasize what he experienced as any human being tends to do.

secondly, this story has NOTHING to do with my household or your household either...who the hell cares if McCain blew his stack at a betting table! What the hell does that have to do with anything!

The whole country is a complete mess, and you want to talk about this!

How about we talk about all of the things that the Obama supporters want to ignore; no experience in their candidate in anything of any consequence to us, the probability that he has been involved in corrupted Chicago politics and is being funded and promoted by a huge corrupt political machine, he may have been involved in voter fraud, the people he was supposed to help as a community organizer said he didn't accomplish what they were led to believe he was going to do, a consistent variety of reports that surface and get squashed with regard to associations with people that have presented obvious conflicts in his political agenda, and most of all HIS OWN WRITTEN WORDS.

Have you read his book? I haven't read it all, but I've read enough of it to know he is a wolf in sheeps clothing and a very dangerous man...this story spoke of a man with a temper behind the trigger for nuclear weapons...I would prefer that to someone that has stated that he will remove those weapons and leave us exposed for those that wish to KILL US! Some of you have forgotten 9-11? Those people are still out there and they want us DEAD. Do you get it?
