Countdown 8/6/08: McCain Under Pressure

Remeber a couple days ago when properly inflating your tires and maintaining your car was stupid and only arugula eating elitists would do that sort of thing? I guess it's not such a bad idea after all.

Obama never said it was meant to be an energy independence plan, it was in response to a question from the audience at a town hall meeting when he was asked "what can we do personally to help ?".

Jeezus, mccain is a fuckwit.

See, by misrepresenting Obama's statement about tire pressure, McCain undoubtedly secured at least a few votes from the hive of mind-numbingly idiotic "fence-sitters" and I couldn't be more serious.

rougysays...

And, of course, the cons had to lie and claim that "proper tire pressure" was the sum total of Obama's energy plan. So typical.

If they can't lie, they can't win.

They've been like that for at least ten years.

I have no real idea about US politics, but maybe McCain is proving that you can do and say anything completely stupid and still get elected? Its like he is trying to prove that the voting public is completely stupid. Also, is that overt sponsorship of McCain (buttons etc) by Exxon new? Obviously corporate $ has supported politics for a long time, but has it ever been that direct?? I mean, who the hell would want to wear a pin that said, 'ExxonMcCain'? sheesh, surely that must turn the stomachs of even ardent Republicans?

Tulgar, this is an overt jab at the McCain energy plan by the Democrats, not an official sponsorship on the Republican side.

The "ExxonMcCain" phrase was created by those who do not support McCain. Anyone wearing that is clearly supporting Obama, and I guarantee ExxonMobil had nothing to do with it, and in fact are probably trying to sue.

Wrong. Real news is Conflict in Georgia. Sorry for being blunt, but even if US forces did invade Iran, on a global scale it probably would not nearly equate to all the shit that just might happen with the rapidly escalating situation in the Caucasus. That's not to diminish the importance of the former, though. Both situations are... well, bad.

>> ^Memorare:
the real news is the impending naval blockade of Iran.
George II still has plenty of time to usher in the apocalypse.
