I don't know what's more classless. The ad or the fact that certain posters, after being given numerous articles, refuse to believe he can't use a keyboard....Absolutely amazing the type of people we have in this country...

 

I'll assume this is directed at me.

 

As for articles, we're given just one from 2000 that states he physically cannot use a keyboard. With as much play as the "can't raise his arms above his head" don't you think not being able to type would be mentioned? What about the laundry list of other daily activities I asked about? One has to believe if he can't type on a keyboard he can't brush his teeth or lift a glass to his mouth. Is that not logic?

 

What I believe instead is that it just takes him a little more to type. I am in no way making fun of him or deriding him. I of course am very grateful for what he did for our country and don't doubt his suffering is immense.

 

What irks me, though, is that "certain posters", as you call them, pick a fight about everything. McCain himself admits he's computer illiterate. Whether or not that matters to you as a voter is another story. Obama is slammed for a "classless" ad because it contradicts something someone said in an article 8 years ago. With the amount of Obama bashing in this forum you would believe that the Republicans are more "scared" of Obama than the Dems are of Palin.

Who wouldn't be scared of a socialist like Obama? He's everything to me that's Un-American .

Here is how the McCain campaign responded to the ad-

"Barack Obama has no record of bipartisan legislative accomplishment, no history of bucking his party and no chance of bringing change," he said.

No mention of McCain being unable to type. And you KNOW they would have said something about it. So, I would request of you, RTS, that you stop attacking Obama from illegitimate angles.

The ad is a non-issue. McCain has expressed over the years that he, for whatever reason, is not computer literate. At the beginning of this campaign he said he was taking actions to fix that, including reading websites, emails, and going on himself. To my knowledge, he's never cited a physical inability to do so as the reason.

Speaking of socialism, both Presidential candidates, including the so call Reagan reincarnate Palin, have supported the nationalization of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

Request denied. They're not illegitimate, so why would I quit?

Well said RS, well said, my hat off to you!:thumb:

:confused:

As I sit and stew on this some more, if McCain truly can't type on a keyboard, what can he do? Can he-

Brush his teeth?

Write?

Dress himself?

Floss?

Cook?

Tie his shoes?

Drive?

Drink?

Wash dishes?

 

Typing would seem to be the simplest out of these activities.

 

Good point, IMO he uses his POW experience as a cruch at times...

This made me ill.

 

He certainly uses NOTHING as a crutch, particularly the beatings and torture that he received as a POW. You may not like him, which is your right, a right that he and other military men and women have fought for, some paying the ultimate price, some coming back with shattered bodies. But to say that this man EVER uses his POW "experience" as a crutch is just wrong.

:confused:

I disagree with the bailout, but I understand why it was done.

It it quite sickening that some want to view it in such a light. Excellent post. TB&G. :thumb:

OK. That doesn't address my point.

What point would that be?

A true Reaganite wouldn't support nationalization...
