CBS scrubs another McCain gaffe

Keeping up with John McCain's foreign policy gaffes is becoming a cottage industry these days, and a progressive radio host has caught another slip-up from the Republican presidential nominee talking about the war on terror.

If McCain keeps crying about media coverage I say give it to him and let him gaffe his way to a loss. He better be glad the media is doing his job for him, because if Obama makes that ONE gaffe McCain will win.

In the Book of Revelation, it cites four horse men. The second has a large sword by which he takes away the peace from this earth and causes nations to kill themselves.

Many Americans cite China as the fourth rider, possibly as in an effort to throw off the guilt of their own sins. Possibly some of these people are pawns, lead by illuminati types (Secret Service agents and others).

Newdaddy33 is the best observer as he is honest and upright, whereas others doing the same thing (even his best friend(s)) are not!

http://www.youtube.com/user/newdaddy33

I respect newdaddy33, but he is wrong on this second prophesy. It is not China that is the Second Rider, but someone coming with power, which you can not stop. America is a stupid nation, where if you had put a stop to evil, it would not occur. Whenever you allow Evil to grow and manifest itself, your past sins will be made manifest one million times over!

Fear God and fear the evils that are about to come upon your nation and the entire world, because of one stupid rider (with knowledge of the word of God) who misuses his sword, due to his inexperience and sheer stupidity!

China is not the second rider, nor is it any rider of Prophesy.

See my webpage and see for yourself. It is only the evil people in your nation that is bringing about this war to take the guilt of the Kennedy assassination, 9-11, and Iraq War. Be aware!

See the four links above. China is not the rider and can never be! Knowledge conquers lies!

So you bad journalist out there, you are killing your own golden eggs (McCain and Hillary) and bringing forth Bible prophesy by yourselves!

When you damn Hillary as you have done, you allow Obama to be the nominee. When you damn McCain, you are electing Obama!

You see Obama's sins and yet you allow him, an inexperienced man to run this nation. A man who does not know this system, a man bent on destroying the system!

If you allow him to do so, will he have something better?

The real answer is NO!

I really hope that the campaign can focus on issues of policy, character, and experience rather than a collection of "gothcha's" around verbal flubs, acquisition about "flip-flops" and sound bite generalizations. That said, McCain has made so many gaffs (the timeline of the surge, confusing Sudan and Somalia, confusing Sunni and Shia, creating the Iraq/Afghanistan border) that you have to at least question the quality of his thinking. If he really does understand the issues and has a reasonable grasp of details (and I believe he does) he should slow down and think before he speaks. I hope he can put these doubts to rest, but he should not have put himself in a position where this is necessary.

What the heck is all this McCain Gaffe crap? Obama makes a gaffe at every speech he does. It is filled with ahhhs and umms and usually makes little to no sense and takes a different stance than the one given hours before.
The question should be who's gaffes are gaffes and who's are simply ignorance.

Yeah. That's it. Obama is the clumsy speaker. Now that McCain, he can ELECTRIFY the crowd. He NEVER stammers, or flip flops or gets his facts wrong.

Where are the stories regarding Obama's speech in Germany yesterday?

No one has any comments on those?

The more I sit back and listen to people discredit Obama's lack of foreign experience, everybody is giving McCain the benefit of the doubt by saying exactly what you said "If he really does understand the issues and has a reasonable grasp of details (and I believe he does)" based on what? his cold war theories or being a POW? Being a POW means you are not fighting the war, you are not in the strategy outside of a unit taking time to find you, and losing equipment. I'll put it like this, if Obama had made half the number of gaffes McCain has this race would be over...so why is McCain getting the benefit of the doubt?

I have heard Obama speak twice in person and listed to a dozen or so. I never found that he doesn't make sense. I sometimes disagree with him, but the language is clear enough. Are you having trouble understanding him?

As to Obama's position on the issues (and its constancy) please look at his site. He has posted a good collection of very specific position papers. McCain's site is also useful, but less detailed. Obama ranks with Al Gore and Ron Paul for putting clear statements on the record.

That is funny, I haven't seen any Obama haters commenting on that 200,000+ speech yesterday, all I have to say is can McCain do that?

We were the guys that secured Saddam's withdrawal in 1990, ending the Iraq War. It was Bush's intransigence that illegally allowed it to happen. Congress and the media did nothing!

The issue here is Obama's lack of experience and poor judgment. We are saying that the prophesies contained in the Bible are true and that Obama will be the rider cited in Revelation.

If anyone makes war with other nations out of his ignorance (lack of judgment and stupidity/prejudice against certain nations), that man is certainly in the wrong and should be stopped!

Yet, by the time a world leader gains power to rule, as Obama is now doing, no one will be able to stop him!

So, be careful with who you elect is our message. Obama does have issues, which major newsmedia organizations have never published. Character issues and issues of integrity and honor.

How about the Larry Sinclair scandal, which is true. Never published by any major newsmedia!

Like I said from the start McInsane is no more experienced than Obama concerning the war, and him being a POW just shows me he was not up to speed, cause he would not have gotten caught so that is another reason why I cannot vote for him.

He is too old, most of his statements are gaffes
We don't need another alzheimers President we had tha with Reagan!

Is postions are not the same on the site as what is in is speech. When he is reading from a script he sounds great. Sound like he knows what is up. When he is talking on his own he mumbles and stuters. He also doesn't sound confident.

Look, and I go through this myself sometimes, I am a gracious guy and pretty smart and can add up things quick...when Obama says ummm its him processing information and taking into account not trying to offend people, I do that alot myself. Listen Obama is a very smart guy and the last thing he wants to do us seem like he is talking to americans like we're idiots because frankly some of us are, so if Obama doesn't slow himself down by going ummm he is going to say something smart that is right but the phrasing is wrong kinda like bittergate. I am from the country and Obama was right in what he said but he just said it wrong...when times get hard we go closer to stuff we know like church or hunting or fishing or whatever. Ok try this, compare Obama's 2sec ummm to McCain's 30sec ummm like he did over that Viagra/birth control question that he didn't give an answer to and then tell me who has the MENTAL compasity to be president.
