Say nice things about McCain, earn “points”
The McCain campaign has a special program encouraging its supporters to leave positive comments about the candidate on other blogs. Via Jonathan Martin, we learn that those who leave McCain talking points on “featured blogs” like conservative Red State and moonbat Daily Kos will earn “points:”
Help spread the word about John McCain on news and blog sites. Your efforts to help get the message out about John McCain’s policies and plan for the future is one of the most valuable things you can do for this campaign. You know why John McCain should be the next President of the United States and we need you to tell others why.
Select from the numerous web, blog and news sites listed here, go there, and make your opinions supporting John McCain known. Once you’ve commented on a post, video or news story, report the details of your comment by clicking the button below. After your comments are verified, you will be awarded points through the McCain Online Action Center.
In the spirit of transparency, if any of you leave pro-McCain comments in order to earn those “points,” I request that you disclose that information when you post here.
In the spirit of open dialogue and outreach, I encourage the rest of you all to reciprocate and leave your thoughts about McCain–say, his decision to retain Juan Hernandez, speak at the the La Raza/The Race conference, embrace anti-assimilationist campaign finance co-chair Jerry Perenchio, and perpetuate global warming hysteria, for starters– on the McCain campaign blog.
The McCain blog is here.
Sorry, I don’t have any “points” to give you.
Standing on principle in defense of security, sovereignty, and sound science is its own reward!

You’re bald like me. I love your comb over.
Can I redeem my “warm and fuzzy” points for stuff, like, S&H green stamps?
He will be as big of sucsess as Jimmy Carter when he retires too
Like the ad goes, Michelle:
For a Socialist….you have a really cute wife.
Sorry, that’s the best I could do.
Oh wait..one more. Thanks to you, Senator McCain, my sombrero store is doing a booming business.
OMG! I just went to his websight and the first thing that popped out was the ECO-FREINDLY store! HAHAHA
Can I use my points to stay at a Holiday Inn Express like Obama - I’m not the Democratic candidate for President, but I stayed at a Holiday Express last night.
If I get enough points can I buy a better GOP candidate?
What do you get for the points? Can you redeem them for a nose plug or a “We’re screwed for ‘08″ shirt?
OPPS! That’s “website” laughing too hard to type profeciently
Hah!
No points for me, I guess.
Will all these Extra Points help Michelle Obama’s kids?
Spread the word like?
Pro-amnesty?
Anti-Gitmo?
Anti-Tax-Cut?
Pro-Stifling-Free-Speech-Through-Lawmaking?
That kind of spreading the word?
OK.
NOT!
Wow! I haven’t heard S&H green stamps mentioned in a long time, CK.
If the answer to that question is “Yes”, I will make up good things about him to rack up some points.
I must have missed the boat. Apparently, I dont know why he should be the next POTUS. He’s given us plenty of reason he shouldn’t be, however…
Just saying.
Well, I can say one nice thing about McCain.
He’s marginally better than the Democrats.
Aren’t we supposed to have candidates in order for there to be an election?
I’ll be nice and say he is probably only half the a–hole I think he is. And he will probably save the country a lot of money by getting the senior discount at the DC Mexican restaurants.
It’s interesting that under the liberal suggested blogs drop menue, there don’t have any liberal blogs; however, MichelleMalkin.com is on the list of suggested conservative blogs.
Could you earn negative points if you leave not so positive comments about him? I think I could easly earn several million negative points.
I refuse to post on McCain’s blog, even to convey how much I dislike his positions on a host of issues, his inclusion of Juan Hernandez, etc., since I have to register to post a comment.
I don’t want to receive any e-mails, phone calls or otherwise from McCain. I may eventually vote for him, if I can convince myself to do it, but don’t want to leave them the impression that I think he should be president because he is a great candidate.
I love his spotty complexion.
If I collect enough points, do I get a cool McCain wristwatch or water bottle?
Geez - is he running for President of the United States or a high school student council?
I bet this site is way in the negative for “points”.
My Mother always said that if I didn’t have anything nice to say then I shouldn’t say anything.
I guess that means no points for me!
Michelle,
What are you going to do with all of your points, my friend?
Umm, I guess I have negative points. If he gets elected, does that mean I get deported to Mexico?
They use ticket, points, behavior bucks and the like for my youngest at school, daycare, etc.
Does the McCain campaign think we are pre-school or elementary age children? Never mind.
I’ll just sit down, shut up and fall in line, I guess, before they give me a timeout or something.
TO be honest I support McCain but I do not as some kind of point getter but because of his service to this country.
For his camaign to reduce itself to this “Pointless” exersize show a real lack of thinking that I find disturbing.
IF this is the best his campaign can come up with I pity it.
The have not sent me my password yet…i gotta get my points elsewhere. Does Juan Hernadez have a blog? Naaaah. It probably pays out in Pesos. Or fuzzy dice.
“John McCain” comprises two words.
Where are my points?
Patton always felt that any veteran that feels he/she needed benefits or rewards was a traitor. Who needs points to do the right thing? I’d be glad to type in what I think about McCain.. heh heh heh
John McCain has a prettier wife than Barack Obama.
ka-chingggggggggggggg!
John McCain was a naval aviator. Obama was a “community acivist.”*
* Annoying, do-nothing leftwing a-hole for hire.
ka-chingggggggggggggg!
Who goofed? I’ve got to know!
Although “liberal online community” Kosistan is featured prominently, note that nothing “Liberal” is in the Suggested Blogs drop-down list.
Mexico North. Thank you, no points necessary.
What exactly do these points go towards? or for? or attached to? or get? HUH? I’m SO CONFUSED.
Unlike Obama, John McCain doesn’t believe that all my income belongs to him.
ka-chingggggggggggggg!
And, she doesn’t run off at the mouth like Obama’s.
Can I have Tiger’s payout?
Can McCain’s staff be so clueless that they would actually encourage or reward spamming web sites? If these McCain points have value or can be redeemed for something of value, wouldn’t that be a criminal offense?
An honorable candidate would buy ads, not bribe for ads.
John McCain looks the other way when illegals sneak across the border. Obama will bus illegals across the border.
ka-chingggggggggggggg!
Michelle to be honest Im honored to come here and I thank you for all that you stand up for.
That is my reward and it means alot more to me than whatver some politican promises. You fight the good fight and Im sure Im not alone in saying Id rather be here than in the good graces of some politician.
ROTFLMAO. Who is running this guys campaign? Citibank? To me, this is the mark of a truly desperate team trying to counter all the negatives posted by conservatives who dislike mcmanesty. Tells me they at least realize he is not liked among the conservatives. Also tells me, he does not care and intends to replace the dejected conservatives with moderates and left of center dems. The GOP is not driving toward a cliff, they just went over it.
John McCain doesn’t believe that Hamas and Hezbollah have “legitimate issues.”
ka-chingggggggggggggg!
al-Reuter’s story at Drudge. Zogby poll shows Osama with an 8% lead on McCain.
I know the formerly reliable Zogby has gotten the anti-GOP bug ever since the GWoT started, but I doubt he is cooking the numbers that badly.
Anyway, do I get bonus points for saying John McCain is a pro-amnesty RINO, but a President Obama would probably destroy the United States as we now know it?
You get to pick something from the Eco-Friendly Treasure Box to redeem your points, I guess, et.
Actually, strictly based on age difference, and assuming she could keep her mouth shut, if I were still a single man, MO is better looking than Cindy McCain. Although Mrs. McCain is quite good looking for her age.
Oh yea, one last thing. Eye meet mcamnesty campaign finger!!!
John McCain knows he’s half white.
Mrs. McCain is prettier and a lot richer than I am and I get a kick out of his mother too. That’s about the only nice things I will write not one nice comment for the clueless pandering grumpy old man. Do I get my points now!
Can we get points for posting Rev. Hagee’s comments about Jews having dead souls and the Holocaust being God’s will?
McCain will use global warming to get votes. Obama will use global warming to wreck the economy.
Don’t be trying to threadjack, Mookie.
That’s next, Barry. Little sticker-stars with “Good work, kid!” written next to it. Then you can use one of those mini-magnets to post it on the fridge. I’m so excited!!
Maybe McKinnon leaving means the bonehead idea of trolling sites like KoS trying to win over American hating dope smokers from Barak will be done away with.
No matter how much McCain makes stupid comments about drilling in ANWR being the same as drilling the Grand Canyon, or anthropogenic global warming being a crisis that requires new ‘caps’ (ie, regulations and taxes), a Caucasian male Christian war hero isn’t going to be able to out-lib Obama.
McCain is featuring this on the Daily Kos? Just what does that say? We’re screwed.
I wonder why McCain didn’t offer carbon credits instead. Hmmmm?
I see some have negative points. I am selling negative point offsets for you people.
Get your NPO’s here - going fast. Don’t worry though, I will print some more up tomorrow.
OK people. I managed to pirate a bootleg copy of the yet- to- be-publicly released point redemption guide. A Michelle Malkin Exclusive!
McPoints Redemption Guide
50 Points - 50% off on LaRaza Membership
100 points - Free Atzlan Membership
500 points - Free LaRaza and Atzlan memberships with waterproof Border Patrol Checkpoint Map

500,000 points -Curmudgeon Club Membership plus pair of McCain’s “Rio Grande” line of waterproof fording boots
1,000,000 points - Free Spanish lessons from Juan Hernandez plus Matricular ID card
It’s my sad duty to inform you that McCain HQ has subtracted 3 points from you for that comment, EQ.
To be honest Mookie, that IS an lgm tactic. You are above that.
I hope the McCain School of Indoctrination believe in social promotion. I sure as heck am not going to make it on being able to take in and regurgitate his philosophies or talking points.
Hmmmm, McCain met Hagee once for what, an hour, trying to win some votes. Probably didn’t spend time watching the videos of his sermons.
BHO sat through Jeremiah Wright’s sermons for twenty years, and remembered enough of them to name a book after one of the sermons, and be able to quote “The White Man’s Greed runs a world in need”.
Yep, exactly the same.
How is that threadjacking? I find his association with Hagee as baffling as his global warming stance and having Juan Hernandez on his campaign staff. To each their own, yes?
Can someone please refresh my memory? How did we end up with McCain? It seems to me that all the liberal republicans voted for McCain, while the conservatives cancelled each other out. How do we prevent this from happening again?
ROFLMAO
That is a good one, Jim!
Good luck getting a pro-McCain comment on Kos. They don’t allow that. I go on HuffPo all the time to counter their lies/BS/racism/sexism, but I don’t do it for any reward.
You talk about elitist…..whoa!
Actually, now that I step back and look at that, I can see some sense in it. Shhhh! Don’t tell anybody I said that. Okay?
Got to run, folks.
There’s a typo, jim. should read “free case of Miller beer”.
Standing on principle in defense of security, sovereignty, and sound science is its own reward!
… and it’s going to be so great when the prize for such is going to be a democrat president elected on november 2nd.
How many more posts before I can cash in my McCainpoints for Arizona cardinals season tickets? Ten!
Sweet!
John McCain doesn’t have a raving racist for his spiritual advisor.
ka-chingggggggggggggg!
John McCain’s thighs are smaller than Hillary’s…but so is his ahem.
ka-chingggggggggggggg!
John McCain’s doesn’t look like Curious George.
ka-chingggggggggggggg!
John McCain will not appoint Alcee Hastings to the Supreme Court.
ka-chingggggggggggggg!
John McCain can’t jump.
ka-chingggggggggggggg!
John McCain gets to Country Kitchen and finishes his dinner long before I arrive.
ka-chingggggggggggggg!
John McCain has a better middle name than Barack or Hillary.
ka-chingggggggggggggg!
John McCain knows what to do with a lapel flag pin.
ka-chingggggggggggggg!
John McCain will not cut and run from Iraq.
ka-chingggggggggggggg!
John McCain isn’t a Democrat.
ka-chingggggggggggggg!
Yeah, I saw this last nite while glancing over The KozKids looney bin. But Kos was having some fun with it instead of being enraged. The lefties are right to mock this doofus idea. It is mockworthy all-around.
There are a LOT of nice things you can say about John McCain:
He’s a real war hero.
He seems to love this wife a lot more than he did the last one.
He looks good in dark suits.
He seems to have fine personal hygiene.
I’m betting he knows what fork to use at a fancy dinner.
So, do I get my “Amnesty in ‘08″ T-Shirt now?
Just for putting up with all that BS juliesa you should get something!
McCain sucks. Sorry, I don’t have any
points you can dock me for.
This should be worth points, and is about the only reason I’m voting for McCain.
Bear with me if I have said this before:
When Barak H. Obama becomes President in January of 2009, all the elderly liberal judges on the federal courts, including the Supreme Court, will retire. No later than 2010, in case Obama is such a train wreck the Republicans regain the Senate.
An elderly, dottering former ACLU chief abortion rights litigator like Ruth Bader-Ginsburg will be replaced with a 30-something or 40-something year old ACLU approved Marxist that Ginsburg would adopt as a child if she could. Across the board. An old super-lib closet case like Justice Souter will be replaced with an Andrew Sullivan wanna-be, except younger and without the potentially fatal viral infection. You get the picture. And, if during BHO’s four year term, Justices Roberts, Thomas, Scalia or Alito become sick or die, or the ‘moderate’ (he votes the right way or not based on coin flips, it appears) Justice Kennedy, we are saddled with close to half a century of a Supreme Court that will act as a third branch of Congress, mandating new laws (California SC and mandated gay marriage ring a bell?), and if we ever do get a Republican Congress and President again, they will act like a second and superior Executive branch, vetoing every law passed they don’t like.
Not to mention things people should care about like Planned Parenthood winding up in every school, tax-payer funded partial birth abortions, and all that other crap.
The SOBs over there will delete any negative comments, so let’s check back in a few days. McCump = no points awarded.
For our gracious hostess…
Somehow, I don’t think there’s alot of points that are going to be awarded from things posted here, and thus, supporters aren’t going to get their secret GOP decoder ring or their “Learn Spanish In 10 Easy Lessons!” book.
Maybe we could set up a points system for things said nicely about this site?
I’m a little confused about the reward points. Can you actually redeem them for anything? Are their blackout dates? Do restrictions apply?
their/they’re. I hate when I do that.
He won’t meet with ahmawhackjobjihad.
Oh for cryin’ out loud. There. Sigh.
I just looked at the store to see if there’s a way to redeem points. Fifty bucks for a polo shirt?!? Yikes!
If only the other pro-amnesty RINO Giuliani hadn’t put all his eggs in the Florida basket. Romney wasn’t perfect, he wasn’t very strong on the Second Amendment, and his conversion to being pro-life seemed genuine, but it came late enough some questioned if it was sincere. And, the crypto-lib Huckster played the Mormon bigotry card pretty well, and none of the conservatives could rise above the pack, and split the Republican vote, while McCain had the RINO/Independent/cross-over Democrat vote to himself.
I myself donated money very early on to Duncan Hunter, he was head and shoulders the best candidate, but he didn’t have the money, name recognition or organization to compete, and Tancredo had a similar base.
How do we avoid this. With luck, McCain doesn’t pick another RINO like the Huckster. Romney would be ok, Hunter would rock, Jindal would be cool, and McCain would win, and then feel too old to seek re-election, and a real Republican would have the advantages of being the incumbent.
I don’t really trust McCain to pick a qualified conservative as his VP, but maybe, just maybe, the NRA ’shooting at Obama’ gaffe of Huckleberry’s has knocked him off McCain’s short list.
mookie,
it says in the article about getting points in his “Online Action Center”.
I went to his action center thru the navigation at the top of the page, and it gave me a selection of things to do…but no explanation of the points. His site isnt terribly forthcoming on the matter.
The only thing I can see being viable is getting points that are able to be redeemed in his online store for whatever they have there?
John McCain,
He’s not the worst senator ever! His wife is couger hot! That’s all I can think of…
ahh, you posted what you found as i was writing my post.
50 bucks for a polo shirt?
ugh.
That is pathetic on so many levels. It makes me ashamed that he’s a Republican. What’s next? Is he going to ask how a scanner works? Get someone to pump his gas? Whine about the price of arugala?
If there was a strong conservative that captured the vote early on, then McCain would have been brushed aside again.
Unless the democrats had their own operation chaos going on to get McCain the nominee, then we can point the finger of blame squarely on all the idiot republicans who voted for McCain.
I know that I tried. By the time the vote came to my state, I voted for the conservative I thought could win, but at that point, McCain already had the momentum from his previous wins. I certainly would have liked it if my vote was meaningful.
I sure wish the process was different, but that’s they way it went. Again, if a conservative would have been able to punch through from the start, then we wouldn’t be participating with this division and chaos that is most likely to get us all a democrat president this time around. It’s pretty much as simple as that.
About the worst senator ever thread and Graham and Larry ‘Wide Stance’ Craig, and the implication that McCain comes next.
This should be worth some points. If we use ‘ever’, than Lincoln Chaffee has to come ahead of McCain. Chaffee went from RINO to registered Democrat after his 2006 loss, but he caucused with the GOP in the Senate. And I’d dare suggest both of the women from Maine are even bigger RINOs than McCain.
That makes McCain no worse than sixth worst senator, ever. Unlike Hagel, at least he supports the troops. So, I’d say seventh.
Jumpin’ Jim Jeffords. McCain might have considered jumping to the Dems after South Carolina in 2000, but Jeffords actually did.
McCain is no worse than the eighth worst all time Republican US Senator.
Holy batman! Points.
Mr.McCain:
You couldn’t pay me to post on Dailykos.com ever. That site is to politics what Angela Lansbury is to detective work.
Don’t feel bad Mookie. Half the people on the Kos board think that homonym has something to do with gay sex.
Sen. McCain, at least you’re not Obama.
I’ll take, ahhh…five jars of “McCain’s-Own Signature Bipartisan Hot Salsa” (tastes great, and it’s good for you, too!) and the, ummm…gimme that limited-edition “McCain Solar-Recharging RC Fighter Plane,” too. It’s never too early to start shopping for Christmas, y’know what I mean?
So comrade John wants us to leave positive comments about him?
What will happen if this guy gets in the White House? Will the next State of the Union address be one in which someone has to ring a bell to get conressmen and senators to stop clapping or else face Johnny’s temper?
Watch the old newsreels that feature Joseph Stalin about to speak, and how the party people won’t stop clapping until someone rings a bell (because Stalin might have you purged the hard way)-then you will understand what I mean.
Hey John!
Why don’t you spend some time earning positive comments from us?
Hmmmmm…..?
HEY, DON’T GO DISS’ING ANGELA LANDSBURY…
Cabot Cove would be awash in unsolved murders if it wasn’t for Angela.
Can you say the same for McCain? I thought not…
There is oil in the Grand Canyon? Then drill I say!
He can’t. He is trying to court the Illegal Immigrant and the ultra-liberal-not-even-registered-to vote vote.
McCain will at least let me drive my SUV and eat what ever I want…. You gonna eat the rest of that waffle?
Dear Johnny McShamnesty, You suck less than Obama does!
Nothing like “paid commentary”. My only regret is I wasn’t singled out as aa target.
This message is most certainly not approved by John McCain.
Sheesh; $130 for this keyboard and I still make typos. Where’s the “edit comment” feature?
Michelle, this is totally creepy. It’s even worse than Cindy McCain’s recipes ripped off from the Food Network. It’s like when I was a kid and my mother told me to smile even though I didn’t feel like it. I’m an adult and I’m going to say what I want about McCain and I don’t have to smile if I don’t want to either. Now when I read any blog mentioning McCain I have to ask myself, is this real, or is it Memorex? Is it a heartfelt post, or is a sack of cow manure composed to get “points”? Does this post count for points? Yeah John, you look great for 71. And you have a nice smile. I wonder if it’s sincere?
You know it is sad when a campaign stoops to this low of a level. It is one thing if devout R~Bots vomit his praise everywhere, but to try to bribe praise?
Yeah, that is what I consider high ethics and morals.
Nice: McCain was by far the best of the people running for the Republican nomination. He took a principled stand against torture (before he quietly let it drop).
This has to be a joke. Points? Didn’t the McCain-Feingold bill make this sort of thing illegal?
Wanna see my: I’d Rather Be WATERBOARDING t-shirt
Its like a duck call for nutroots everytime I wear it.
Deport Juan Hernandez.
Where’s my free Burrito?
This is fairly dishonest and underhanded. Rewarding people (no matter how meagerly) for spamming sites with pro-McCain propaganda is unethical. What’s next, “Earn 500 points by throwing a pie at an Obama rally” ?
This is the most lame idea. Do these people live in the real world? Don’t they know this is the fast track to become a laughingstock?
Red State has lost total credibility with this.
Another day, another breathless, whiny, anti-McCain post.
Tedious.
Earn points huh? Yeah, that’ll bring all those pesky independent-thinking conservatives back..
This is what my child in primary school does- earns good time points and if they are really good, they get to have a treat on Friday.
Have the leftys figured this is condescending? juvenile.
Wow, that must mean I have earned about a million demerits. Bad Zorro, bad.
The McCain camp has a lot of nerve posting “bribes” like that. I guess it comes naturally to the permanent ruling class infesting the DC beltway. Bribe your way to success. Ha!
Snort
Jim M. #58, now that’s funny.
John McCain will be on Ellen tomorrow.
I can has points?
Yeah, who does he think we are, Democrats?
What idiot thought up this idea?
That must be why the minute you criticize McCain on the Hot Air comments, so many of them will jump on you immediately for being pro-Obama, troop-disparaging and Communist; then they turn around and explain why he’s so wonderful that he’s beyond criticism. Dang, I didn’t realize they were earning points.
John McCain..
He might nominate a conservative judge to stand out from the other two candidates..
tapped out..
Yes oh yes, I want to earn points! This, (weep weep, cough) this is democracy in action. This tells me that I have real meaning to the Republican Party Leadership.
Can I use them with the 2 (count them - 2!) RNC Platinum cards now in my possession. Can I use the points to upgrade one of the ridiculous Platinum cards to some other worthless faux-metal symbol? Is there any way that the RNC could possibly be more condescending to me? Ideas please.
*giving lgm credit where its due*
that’s one of the more positive things i’ve seen you say. well done, sir.
lgm has proven that even a blind hog finds an acorn now and then.
And just like they do to inner cities, school systems, transportation, oh, heck, EVERYTHING THEY TOUCH!!!
John McCain doesn’t have to buy his friends. Oh, wait a minute.
McCain looks really presidential in his Sansa-belt pants and pancake make-up.
Points please?
One of the Mods over on Ann Coulter’s site must be a Charter Member of this pressing all this glorious of McCain.
I think she would be aghast to know one of the mods there insists on Only Positive McCain posts..and anyone who doesn’t blindly “Toe the GOP Line”…get threats of banning, posts changed or deleted, or in the end just makes people tire of his BS, and says..”Go ahead, ban me” and leaves.
Hola Juan,
I think you’ll be the best presidente Mexico ever had!
May I exchange my points for pesos, por favor?
Gracias : )
Way to go McShame, now nobody will listen to anything nice about you, because we’ll know it’s a paid advertisement.
He probably bought his friends in gradeschool with his milk money.
This almost makes me feel sorry for him.
hawkeye! LOL
LESSER OF TWO EVILS
LESSER OF TWO EVILS
LESSER OF TWO EVILS
OH…AND…..
HOLD YOUR NOSE …
I want my points!!!
RE: post #44 and such.
Ed, I agree with you today except for your post that all the old Supreme Court justices WILL retire after 2009.
What evidence do you have that this will come to pass for sure?
CS - I figure I’m so in the hole ‘points’wise that I’d have to post 24/7 right up to election day just to break even…
No points for me!
Oh yeah, this is reeeeally gonna make me want to vote for McCain. This is reminding me of Obama: on substance, he doesn’t have anything near what it takes to get the popular vote, so he has to rely on fluffy promises of HOPE and CHANGE and the Democrat Party’s astoundingly un-democratic delegate system to win. McCain leaves a few steps out and tries to bribe us anyway.
Anyone wondering why I’m fed up? My first election, and we’re running a pack of nutjobs against each other.
Joy….:-) (-:
Join the club!
FatJollyPenguin - That is quite a perspective. This is the first vote for a whole generation. I can’t imagine. I’m really sorry this is what you’re hit with for your first election.
I’m even sorrier what you and your generation are going to inherit from mine. :o(
More sorry… heh.
Or is that moar sorriez? lolcatbonics
Ok, Kos is moonbat. But Redstate, conservative? I doubt they’ll need much arm-twisting to line up with McCain.
I see that they helpfuly provide “Todays Talking Points” at the bottom of the page.
For instance;
Wait, does that mean I get a point?
LOL Joy, I’d need McInsane to win office and run again and I might be able to break even.
It would be less humiliating if he just sat at the dunk tank and let us pitch balls at him. Honestly, I would be more of a heartened supporter if he would just get on message with the Illegal allien problem that we continue to scream about.
Pander to the left, earn “votes.”
My man parts do not ache for you, Senator McCain. But I will try to say something nice about you so I can get mortgage points. That’s how it works, right?
* You’re no more economically illiterate than the other candidates.
* You would probably be better than Obama, but so would my pug.
* You were a hero. Once. Now you are a zero. So I guess it all evens out.
* You will probably be a lot less racist than Reverend Wright when you speak before the NAACP (but you will also probably get a lot less applause).
That’s it. Did I win?
Although I don’t agree with all-things McCain, as far as I’m concerned he’s worthy of a gazillion veterans preference points and I will proudly give him my vote in November.
Ahhhhh C’mon, please?
WE WANT POINTS….WE WANT POINTS…on and on…
RE: #145
No Sudden Moves, Just don’t sit there, go online for John McCain and spread your message!
So, I go to the web sites. I post a nice honest statement:
Vote John ‘tacos for everyone’ McCain, He doesn’t suck as much as the other guy’
I go to collect my points, and not only do they take offense, they threaten to repo my computer. Even though the darn thing is paid for?
K.. gotta say it.. I don’t want to wake up tomorrow and find this story plastered on the front page of WaPo.. this was humor people, an event that never happened.. or did it
nosuddenmoves is obviously blogging for points…
This is called being the typical Washington out of touch insider.
MM
Find something else to destroy the weak republican nominee with.
It’s over. Get over it.
Support him.
winemakr,
John McCain is doing a fabulous job of destroying himself and his credibility with voters….not even the Dems are buying him over Obama…which is what I suspected would happen eventually.
The Dems that actively work for John McCain have no interest in putting him in office, unless Obama stumbles horribly with his own base.
winemakr,
To wit….

I am certain he is not the only Dem on that Republican’s - i.e. John McCain’s- payroll…
The positive thing to do is to ask “straight talk” John McCain how many foreign agents (of influence) like Juan Hernandez AND how many democrat infiltrators are on his staff like McKinnon?
That is something Bill O’Reilly should do an ambush interview on, isn’t it?
Where is ” The Spin stops here” guy anyway?
winemakr,
He’s a RINO. He’s only slightly better than the Dems.
Get over it.
I’ve been thinking about this for a while now and would like to hear what others have to say too. McCain made the comment he knows nothing about economics and apparently doesn’t think this is of any importance. I assume this is probably true about most of Congress.
How… how can anyone make legislation and vote on bills when they know nothing about economics? Shouldn’t that be mandatory before being elected to office? How disfunctional is it when someone doesn’t understand what the IMPACT will be economically of the bills they author or vote on.
Is it any wonder our country is such a mess…
Conservatives need to recruit a batch of economists to run for office.
I’m adding that to the long list of things required before I’ll return to the GOP. Many people say, “It’s the economy, stupid!” I’m changing that to It’s economics, stupid!
Are these points worth more or less than “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” points?
Joy,
I am finishing a bachelor of science degree in economics before heading to an as of yet unknown MBA program preferably in finance.
I more than agree with you that candidates should not be making laws on subjects they don’t understand..particularly economics.
The only way to address the problem you have alluded to is to require that no one may graduate from undergraduate college without having completed economics courses through the intermediate level…so that said students has the tools to assess what happens when this or that is done to an economy, and its inhabitants.
This kind of tool of analysis is even more important today than say 30 years ago because of the fact that globalism-the free flow in trade, people, and money is now reality and not some arcane theory-it impacts how bad or good how you will live depending on what actions your nation’s leaders take.
OK…how about:
“John McCain…at least he is not Barak Hussein!”
Kind of rhymes, is factual, and it’s about the best I can say about McCain.
Good One Havoc!
