Or when the GOP tries to paint you as an out-of-touch elitist, but you own 7 houses and your wife travels across the state by private jet.
Exposing hypocrisy can be pretty effective. They asked Romney how many houses he owns, and his answer was "four, one less than John Kerry" Kerry? Still gotta go after him? Just laughable, and smacks of desperation, too. |

No problem; we currently have an empty head in the White House.  "YEEEEEEHAAAAAAW!" "It's easy to grin, when your ship comes in, and you've got the stockmarket beat, but the man worth-while, is the man who can smile, when his shorts are too tight in the seat." -Judge Smails |

Nice idea, but I'm worried that the cdr/chili end would swell a lot quicker than would the fcs/IB side. Can I do some recruiting on the winelibrary.com boards?  -IB PSA: Please report gratuitous trolling/flaming immediately (little triangle at bottom right). |

Ok, PV it is! I have a membership at the TPC Valley course and need to do some cellar cleaning. Instead of selling, i like to drink the extras. So, golf, wine and politics. Should be fun. You are a savvy Bordeaux buyer indeed!! - James Suckling |

I just had a thought. We should invite Board-O to moderate because he knows everything!

It's impossible to discuss anything with people who live in a purely theoretical, emotional world.
I would let Indy and fcs buy me a round of golf and a nice dinner, however.  ********************************************** "Asking government to fix this crisis is like asking the arsonist to put out the fire." -Thomas Sowell |

I think you guys are missing the point. It isn't how many houses he owns, or how much moolah his wife has. The point was that he couldn't for the life of him, even dredge up a number from that rusty claptrap inside his head. Do I want a guy who could be in the beginning stages of Alzheimers in the Big Chair for the next four years, surrounded by the same cronies as W? I don't think so. Look what happened with Reagan. As soon as he started to loose it, his more ambitious aides took control and we got Iran/Contra. Wheeeee! (BTW, for you neocons not old enough to remember, in 1980 Reagan's age came into question. He solemly pledged that if there were ever any signs that he was becoming mentally infirm, he would step down. Guess he forgot that one along with everything else. By contrast, McCain is now 3 years older than Reagan was when he took office, and would be the oldest ever elected.) *********** You never see crazy people walking the streets, screaming about atheism, do you? |

You are speculating. You don’t know that’s the reason he didn’t have an answer to the house question. Their estate probably has a ton of houses, some investment, some personal. Not a big deal that he didn’t have the magic number off the top of his head. Give the dude a break, he does have a lot on his mind these days? With that said, I am worried about McCain’s age as well. My dad is a lot younger than McCain and he is starting to lose his marbles. I don’t want McCain confusing his life alert button with the nuck button. But that’s not enough reason to vote for boy wonder. No sir. “What is the soup du jour?"...It’s the soup of the day..."Mmmm, that sounds good, I’ll have that” - Lloyd Christmas |

Sounds like your father has a serious problem. I hope he is seeing a physician for this. Best wishes for him. Just one more sip. |

McNeely,
Claiming McCain has dementia or Alzheiner's? Boy that's pretty desperate. Obama is the dumbest, least articulate, least qualified and least serious candidate to be put up for office in my lifetime. The guy is a fraud, you and his love sick supporters are starting to shake off your infatuation with the "First clean, articulate african-american candidate," (thanks, uncle Joe!) and you have stooped pretty low. I expect nothing less based on previous smears during the campaign season. ********************************************** "Asking government to fix this crisis is like asking the arsonist to put out the fire." -Thomas Sowell |

Thanks. He has been getting checked out regularly for awhile. He had major surgery about 5 years ago and ever since then he has been getting less and less sharp as each year goes by. There has been alzheiner in the family, but his doctor says that’s not it at this point. He is not forgetful, he just takes a little longer to process things than before. He is too proud to admit anything has changed which has been a struggle. He is a tuff dude though… “What is the soup du jour?"...It’s the soup of the day..."Mmmm, that sounds good, I’ll have that” - Lloyd Christmas |

You must have missed the Saddleback event. The old guy looked pretty sharp, in full command of the facts, and spoke in comprehensible sentences. Boy Wunder on the other hand, sputtered and spewed like an old Dodge, or someone in serious need of a teleprompter. Got acid? @@@@@@@@@@@@ Everyone has to believe in something. I believe I’ll have another glass of wine. |

cdr,
I'm curious, if Obama actually wins this fall, what will you do? Will you leave the country, or just hang out in one of your hippie havens and harass people driving by in their Priuses? -IB PSA: Please report gratuitous trolling/flaming immediately (little triangle at bottom right). |

Whatsa nuck? |

Doesn't matter much to me who wins or loses, but hanging out in a hippie haven does have a certain appeal to it. Harassing the Prius people doesn't sound like much fun though, but maybe we could hunt down the children of the corn instead.
I think I might join cdr, just on general principle. ___________________________ Cheers! |

If Obama wins, he wins. I am not going to act like the morons on the left who promised to leave if Bush won but never followed through. If he wins, I wish him the best and hope he will be successful, for the country's sake. I just feel he is unfit and unqualified to serve as President of the United States. I'm sure he might be a fine "community organizer," although from what I have read, the communities he "organized" are still poor, crime ridden and without the hope and prosperity he promised.

At least his "community organizing" gave him plenty of experience working with terrorists.
Couldn't resist, carry on. FM |
