[whistle]

1. Your topic line says it all, I don't need to watch any of it...just think repukes

...will have to listen to the asshole from now until November and it will continue to get worse

[raystorm7]

2. Hmmm...waste 20mins of my life? McCain is dog food.

[Quantess]

28. If Republican was a brand of dog food, we'd be taken off the shelf.

I'll get that link in a second...

3. For a special treat...

... pause the video exactly 15 seconds in and you will laugh. Man o man. If we cannot defeat this guy in November, something is seriously out of kilter.

[bobbert]

6. now THAT is scary

I think I got the same pause you did, holy shit that was fucked

[raystorm7]

9. LOL...looks like crazy!

[MindMatter]

15. The guy looks like a ghost

They are really powdering up that corpse to make a nice presentation.

What the hell could the Republicans be thinking? Is the really the best they got?

I'll admit he beats Ghouliani, Huckabee, and Romney by a mile, but seriously, is this all they got?

[Old and In the Way]

4. If I'm John McCain right now....

I'm on my 5th 20 YO double scotch.

Hopefully, toadies like Brian Williams can mitigate the damage....otherwise, he's screwed.

[FirstLight]

5. He's got a wierd eyeball thing going on, too

god, I can't handle another politician that I can't stomach in my tv for the next 4 years
GOBAMA!!!
he's real and I can relate to his voice in my living room ...easily

I am SO looking forward to the generational shift that CNN has been talking about tonight. I am so over the doddering old fools trying to run us into the ground, pretending that business as usual is going to work in the world as it is NOW.

[Supersedeas]

7. this should be required viewing for every American

[murray hill farm]

8. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!

Blah,Blah,Blah,Blah......Blah,Blah,Blah,Blah! Man he can put ya to sleep in minutes....even the audience looks glassy eyed. It is like trying to amuse yourself by watching paint dry. The monotone, the pathetic occasional look up and inanely smile. Watching and listening to Obama tonight and the enthusiasm he can call up from anyone who listens to him..the massive crowds....and then watching this dude (what did he have there? maybe 70 bored people)!! No contest here!

11. What Scares Me More

Isn't McCain winning. I worry we see a predicted landslide for Obama a few weeks before the November election day. Then CIA/Blackwater/whoever sets off a bomb in some mall wearing 'Muslim' outfits and hangs around long enough to be caught on film, blamed on Iran, who we proceed to bomb. Big protest at home, big enough for the spooks in the Whitehouse to call out the guard they seized control of from the states long ago, and declare martial law because it's an 'emergeny' in their opinion that allows them at their discretion to overrule any protest from Congress or the Senate. The only sadly fitting irony is all the 'protect our guns' right wing folks will be the ones who get them seized in the clampdown due to orders from the people THEY VOTED FOR. Don't get me wrong, I'm fully supportive of gun owner's rights.

But despite that long story, it boils down to the fact that we may not have an election for Obama to win, and you might just be in the cell next to him if you protest that also. Why? It ain't supposed to be. Bilderberg elite have yet to endorse him, he's not been to Bilderberg yet. He's not in the pocekt of Rockafeller / Morgan / Rothschild / Murdoch / Monsanto /Haliburton (ie. those who profit most from the neo-cons holding onto power, as McCain would guarantee). So if McCain can't win, they may do something dirty. That's what I worry most about. After that, I worry about the stealing of elections and the fact that 4 or 8 years after we should have 'learned our lesson' we have more electronic voting going on than ever before and still have an electoral college. Keep your eyes open. Don't let that happen.

23. Me 2

cross your fingers

[Puzzler]

26. Can't happen...

... even if the unthinkable happened and there was no election on Nov 4 (for ANY reason... say, a huge earthquake)... Bush and Cheney are still out no matter what happenes in January 09. There is an automatic line of succession. Pelosi would become president constitutionally. Even if there was martial law, it still wouldn't change Bush's term limit and the order of succession. The only way Bush couild hang onto power would be literally by a coup d'etat.

[curiousdemo]

12. The crowd don't know when to clap....

No excitement from anyone. Is this what America want, I think not. A old man who way past his bedtime. "Come to bed johnnie dear....coming mamma"....

[Voice for Peace]

13. eeeeeeeeeeek

he's like a.. aa... a ahh a um a like a something not um like something real is missing

[Mark D.]

14. Canned

Every smile is canned and forced. He's not comfortable there as he's not being hontest. He can't cuss and just negatively goad over stuff endleslly. The 'real' John McCain was the one we saw go after Mitt Romney (I'm not standing up for Mitt, just making a point) over and over in an almost sick way, with a half smile that's borderline psycho. Anyone see that last GOP debate? I was rooting for Mitt and McCain lost that debate by all measures. He came off as semi-senile man ranting about something nobody cared about, except him. Mitt would have been harder to debate than McCain. Gulianni even tougher. Obama will beat McCain in a debate easily.

Which is good, as he's yet to debate as well as he gives a speech. He's getting better, and will no doubt be better than McCain by the time they do debate. If he has Jim Webb as VP, he'll really have a stronger base and a blue dog appeal and Webb would hand Liarman (McCain's likely VP) his ass in a debate. McCain will show his phony smile again and again. He's not a happy man, it looks like an SNL parody whenever he smiles. Americans hopefully can see through that. But again, it may not matter if Rove/Cheney and their spokesmonkey George pull the plug on the elections. I'd like to think that won't happen, but were 9 steps on the 10 to facism.

[Bjorn Against]

16. Wow, that was so incredibly bad I had to recommend it...

I almost wanted to start laughing at times, the guy is so incredibly fake and transparent that I actually hope that a lot of Americans saw this speech as I don't know how anyone would want to vote for him after watching that.

[tbolt]

17. Mc What?

I got to about the 4min mark my head is still spinning. Let the debates begin.

[Hutzpa]

18. You guys really seats through this boozos

speech.... are you kidding me, sounded like a broken record that
keeps skipping its rythm.

I.w.i.l.l.be.yo.ur.pre.sss.nit.

what a joke.....

[quark219]

19. What would a McCain presidency smell like?

Depends.

[provis99]

20. ick...that horrid, lipless smile. Its like Lon Chaney's Phantom

McCain's morning face?

[quark219]

22. Yowza!

There is more than a passing familiarity there. You know, I do not like to criticize people for something appearance-related over which they have little or no control. But John McCain is putting himself out there, as the contender for the presidency, for heaven's sake. He is just far too shopworn to be running for that demanding a position.

We've all seen before and after photos of those who've been in that office. And I think your Phantom photo is a pretty good guess at what McCain would look like in 2012 if he were elected. bleah!

[Number23]

31. *choke*

Thanks for that! Now I just need to wipe off the corn flakes I just blew all over my monitor.....

[opihimoimoi]

21. OMG...he is so LAME.....and the audience had about 20 peeps...he is a PUB JOKE

I listened for 20 seconds and had to

[frog92969]

24. It sounds like he believes

all those "Clinton supporters" who say they're gonna vote for him.
Could he kiss up any harder?

I couldn't make it past 1:45, I tried.

[jennied]

25. I was watching this on TV and I was falling asleep...

[Dammit Ann]

27. Is it just me or does he remind you of Tim Conway?

Anyone else grow up on the Carol Burnett Show?

[Dammit Ann]

29. My point...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5BMVmOWzfk&feature=rela...

Can't wait for this election!

[Dammit Ann]

30. Watch this and stop bitching about Hillary! McCain is our problem now!

Edited to say GOBAMA!

[wake.up.america]

32. Wish I could bottle this! He's a cure for ...

insomnia.

[blondeatlast]

33. Among many other things, what a horrible makeup job. He looks ghostly

which makes his eyes look even creepier.

[MissMillie]

34. he almost looks drugged

I hope he's not sick.

He's worried about being labeled as 4 more years of Bush, but he doesn't really offer up any proof that he wouldn't be...

[Jack Rabbit]

35. Critique

[ForeignSpectator]

36. God how pathetic and what a retarded crowd. And what's up with that

moronic grin and eye-blinking every time he says something "meaningful"? And that "put a child to bed"-voice?

Too painful to watch really...
