Alaska Darin Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Sure he makes gaffes, then quickly apologizes for his mistake and moves on. When it happens with McSame, his campaign tells you're wrong, that he meant something else. Ooh. Huge difference there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In-A-Gadda-Levitre Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Ooh. Huge difference there. seems like if you accept that both candidates live on airplanes, criss-crossing time zones, eating on the run, multiple stops a day continually, they're going to mess up sometimes. a candidate that accepts responsibility for his own actions and doesn't try to spin it? yeah, I like that, but maybe it's just me...

Right, because a lot of people have applied that logic to Bush over the last 8 years. And thanks for proving my point about Senator McDreamy. Now he's actually more appealing for talking out of his ass every day because he admits it and moves on??? So basically there's nothing he can do to turn some people off. He's just that wonderful....

Kelly the Dog Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 And I have no confidence in his abilities. The guy made some crack early this month about how the translators we use in Iraq could have been used in Afghanistan. They speak different languages. Can you even imagine if Bush said something like that? But Senator McDreamy says it and no one cares. The guy is a !@#$ing stupid quote machine but everyone still praises him for his eloquence. Good. That gives me that much more confidence in him, considering that you have been consistently wrong for eight straight years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In-A-Gadda-Levitre Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Right, because a lot of people have applied that logic to Bush over the last 8 years. umm, if Mr Bush was campaigning for more than 12 months or traveling constantly, he'd get a few more Get-Outa-Gaffe Free Cards. Obama messes up the language, and after declaring himself so much more qualified, McCain doesn't know how many troops are in Iraq. I don't see either getting a free ride. They're both dazed and confused, as anyone would be in their shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNRed Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Good. That gives me that much more confidence in him, considering that you have been consistently wrong for eight straight years. Except I haven't been on the board for 8 years. Not even five. Nice Barack-ian grasp of the facts you have there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bush has one of the most stressful jobs in the world and that's before you consider the consistant public speaking that's required. Perhaps you could spare him a few Get-Outta-Gaffe Free Cards as long as you're handing them out to McCain and Obama for having daily photo-ops and giving speeches to their own supporters.

If we were talking about stress, you might have a point. And Bush rarely speaks more than once a day, many days not at all. While being stressed out might have a sizeable effect on your ability to think clearly, it's more about the confusion factor from lack of sleep, jet lag, and speaking multiple times a day, without much down time.

How does it make me wrong? And where'd you get the number eight from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And where'd you get the number eight from? Ummmmmmmmmm... because that is how long the right has been in power and making the foreign policy decisions, the vast majority of the major ones which have proven to be ill-advised?

Which is what we were talking about. I had no idea "The Right" and I were synonymous. That's an interesting stretch. I'm amazed how much you know about what I thought the three years prior to you ever reading one of my posts, though. I would also say there's a pretty big difference between Republicans and Conservatives these days. The former are the ones who've been in power.

Which is why he left that church. I just love people say that Obama believes in that garbage just because someone else ranted and raved at his church when he wasn't there. Just foolish.

Chilly Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Did I say that you did? Geesh, paranoid. Paranoid? You replied to my post, pointing out the obvious, so there were two ways to take your post: 1.) You were pointing out the obvious just to point out the obvious 2.) You were making a commentary about my post I gave you the benefit of the doubt and thought it was #2, but I guess it was #1.
