Who’s “erratic?”
A heartbeat away…
The Obama camp has made a theme and a meme out of calling John McCain “erratic.”
615,000 Google hits for “erratic McCain” and counting.
From the Oct. 12 NYT: “In Friendly Region, Biden Cites McCain as Erratic.”
The Democratic vice-presidential nominee, Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., sharing a stage with Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton for the first time this year, said the campaign of Senator John McCain was stooping to stunts and “ugly inferences” because it was losing and was out of ideas.
Rousing a crowd estimated by the police at 6,000 on an otherwise quiet day on the campaign trail, Mr. Biden said Mr. McCain’s campaign had become erratic, a reference to Mr. McCain’s changing positions on the financial crisis and his decision two weeks ago to suspend his campaign briefly to deal with it.
“Presidents have to supply steady leadership,” Mr. Biden told the friendly crowd in this northeastern Pennsylvania city where he spent the first 10 years of his life. He said Mr. McCain had become increasingly desperate and negative because he saw the presidency “slipping from his grasp.”
I think it’s time for Team McCain to throw a label boomerang right back at gaffetastic, erratic Biden.
Gird your loins, Joe.
And keep talkin’.

Erratic is still better than consistently socialist and wrong.
Still not good enough, even so.

I really think Joe Biden is insane.
Time for the McCain and RNC camp to start calling a Socialist for what he IS and spell out and make no bones about that means to your wallet and morality! To too many Americans socialism is just a catch word. Americans need a reality check to know that taking out their sheer hate for Bush by pumping Obama only royally screws them in the end. McCain must pull out all the stops! He has nothing else to lose, and I am NOT impressed by gentlemenly losers.

A Thompson man forced to vote McCain to keep a socialist monster in his cage.
Reasons to vote Obama:
I want to be part of history!
I don’t want to feel like a bigot.
President McCain wrecked the economy!
Joe, I got one three-letter-word for you:
Q U I T
OT, in my experience the only thing “first” got was shot…. sorry, I remember my Nam days….lol anyway back on track……. This issue of erratic plays well only because we on the right refuse to fight dirty also. Why not remind people, as Michelle suggests about Biden’s stupidity? Why not go after the obvious lack of intelligence on Gen Powell’s part when he stated that Palin had no experience hence he’d support that totally inexpererienced piece of excrement…… why won’t we go for the jugular when we can?
I think Biden has convinced himself that HE’S actually the Presidential Candidate, but has to pretend not to be for the sake of his party.
Maybe he’s really one of the ‘Pennsylvania racists’ Murtha was talking about and can’t stand the thought of playing second fiddle to Obama.
His demeanor just shouts that to me every time I see him.
They can’t do that.
It would force them to admit guilt of the same crimes as the Democrats.

Voting for one socialist monster to keep another out is going to leave you with a socialist monster.

Hannity, yes the guy has lost it. McCain, NO he’s not erratic. But Man, Hannity has really lost it.
WE do.
It’s the liberals in the Republican Party that don’t, and those of us who blindly support them.
RWR
http://www.rightwingrocker.com
I don’t think he’s insane. I think he’s just dumb.
Hannity lost it when he threw his support behind a socialist Republican.
He’s still right a good bit of the time. Of course that bit about being a conservative first is a load of horsehockey.
RWR
http://www.rightwingrocker.com
I can’t help but wonder if he’s trying to lose.
Maybe he decided he’d rather be a Senator rather than just be the tie breaker.
I seriously believe Joe’s plugs have taken too deep of a root in his brain.
Biden, Kerry and Powell what a trio that would be in Obambi’s administration.
This doesn’t surprise me.
Scary, isn’t it ? Too close to Halloween!!! Biden is actually a great distraction for the Dems and BigO, makes the unattentive voters think that it’s all just a show, complete with clowns and completely harmless, not to mention meaningless. Look out!
Projection.
Ideological Subversion.
Active Measures.
Psychological Warfare.
We’re on to you, Democratic Socialist Communists.
And the antidote to demoralization is remoralization.
God Bless President Ronald Reagan!
Twenty five years ago he was giving us the answers we need today.
Another example of how Botox can cause brain damage.
What a damn fool.
Fortunately, he’s on the socialists’ (at least, the really, really socialist socialists’)side.
He’s the gift that keeps on giving.
Poor Obama,
Hillary, Bill, Biden :
With friends like these—
Id say the Daily Kos is erratic
What if Obama is the second coming of Jesus ?
Ya think Colin Powell is rethinking his choice yet?
I see dead fish voting
I have a theory about this, actually.
I wonder if Bill and Hil didn’t encourage Obozo to tap Bidumb in return for their “support” to his campaign. This way, they can support him in public knowing that the campaign will be sabotaged from within by a feckless moron.
I have no evidence to support this (hence the word “theory”), but it sure will be easier on Hil in 2012 if Obozo loses this year, and Bidumb has diarrhea of the mouth the likes of which I’ve never seen or heard before.
No big suprise, they got the bible quote wrong.
#23 William Amos
Here’s a REAL verse from the Bible for that man:
Matthew 24:5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,[a]‘ and will deceive many.
Oh, brother. When the good Lord talked about coming “like a thief in the night,” he meant that he’d be unexpected, not that he’d come to take all our money and freedom. Those Kossacks take everything literally.
Biden is a target-rich environment.
rightwing rocker
Roger that! but we need more carnivores.. we can’t do it by ourselves….. of course, it won’t stop me, trust me!
Joe the Dumber. Perfect!
We’ve got Joe the Plumber, and Obama has Joe the Dumber.
McCain was far from my first pick for the ticket, but he’s not erratic. Biden’s the man talking about how an untested Obama will face his first crisis within 6 months.
Rightwing Rocker – I understand your frustrations, but helping McCain win is still a better play than helping Obama. A scorched Earth policy in seeking a “pure” conservatism isn’t going to make the fight to restore conservatism any easier.
An Obama presidency with a stronger majority for Pelosi will make that fight even more difficult, not easier. Sure, conservatives will be even angrier, but we’ll be standing on the outside.
We’ve done this a hundred times. There are a few third party types here and there are a few trolls that are trying to convince the rest of us to waste our votes and vote third party. You’ll never convince the third party folks to vote for McCain and the trolls are just a waste of time.
Perhaps electric shock treatment would help the Senator.
::sigh:: Yeah, you’re right. No doubt some of them are from the dKos and Huffington crowds.
John Deaux, hate to disagree with ya but voting for McCain is in a way voting 3rd party. He’s not a Republican nor a Conservative. The Republican Party needs to come back home. Sorry.
Bumper sticker…”Gird your loins, Joe”
Oh and By the way, Mr. Deaux, I mailed in my votes already and I wrote in Newt/Jindal. Voted Republican the rest of the ticket. The wife voted McCain/Palin just because of Palin. SHe hates McCain for his nasty words that he said to me in front of her.
Rightwingrocker…with all due respect…PLEASE stop sabbotaging this thread by trying to convince everyone to vote for Obama by wasting their votes on people who have no chance of winning. It’s either McCain or Obama. So please stop…now! Thank you.
It will do more than electing the same guy in a different suit like we did in 2004.
No thanks.

No one is suggesting anyone vote for Oblahma. This election is going to be the wake-up call the last three SHOULD have been.
JohnnyMac isn’t any different that Oblahma. Just look at his vote on the “bailout” for proof.

Thank you for supporting the Obama presidency. Geeeezzzz!!!
Wife is doing the same thing, but not because of Palin. She’s taking the LOTE position that’s so common among Republicans.

You really don’t get it, do you. If you waste your vote, you are HELPING Obama. You are not actually voting for him, except by wasting your vote to vote for someone who will not win no matter what. It’s like hitting my head against a brick wall. I am so sick of this!
John Ansell…Calling your spouse, “The wife” is one of my pet peeves. She is YOUR wife, not THE wife. How demeaning. I am in a very bad mood today and this thread is getting me really really pissed. Goodbye.
Scrapper get off it.
If we learned nothing else from the 2004 election, it’s that voting LOTE is just as damaging as voting for the Donk.
Until Americans decide to grow a pair and stand up for the Constitution, nothing is going to improve, epsecially when the Republicans put up a big-government liberal candidate who’s more beholden to the Donks than to even the most liberal Republicans.
I do not begrudge anyone their LOTE vote, as I have voted that way before and understand the logic, but PLEASE get off the backs of those of us who are actually standing up for what YOU aren’t willing to stand up for. Remember, if you don’t (in your case won’t) stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.
I prefer to stand for something and vote for a candidate who more closely shares my beliefs.
Your vote for a liberal is on you.
RWR
http://www.rightwingrocker.com
The only wasted vote is the one cast for a candidate you don’t agree with.
What the hell do I care if Oblahma wins the election? Same question for McCain. Neither one of them is going to amout to a hill of beans or a pile of excrement as a President, and both have both the capacity and the will to flush the Founders’ vision down the toilet in four years or less.
And this will continue until people stop voting for these liberals.

Well now you got him back so do you feel better?
Their principles are more important than little things like Liberty and the Constitution.
By the way, I DO get it, which is why I’m voting for someone who gives a hoot about the Constitution.
I voted LOTE in 2000, casting my vote for George W. Bush, and got Algore Light. Did the same thing in 2004, and got John Kerry Light.
There is absolutely NOTHING to suggest that John McCain is anything better than Barack Obama Light, and plenty to suggest he’s just as bad.
So why should I vote for Barack Obama with white hair?

You know, the way Biden spouts off is fine for a Senator or a VP candidate. We get a glimpse of the truth every time he runs his mouth.
But…for an ACTUAL VP? Or, worse yet, a President to speak so indiscriminately and without thinking about what he’s saying…it’s just scary.
Our principles actually ARE Liberty and the Constitution. That’s why we’re not voting Republicrat.
McCain is for Liberty and the Constitution????? PLEASE.

And you’re going to prove it by letting a Socialist get in office.
For those of you who think there is no difference between McCain and Obama..I have news for you. I have yet to see any proof that Sen. McCain is a socialist/marxist punk who has refused to allow anyone to see his birth certificate, his college transcript, his health records, or anything else of importance for the American people to know. I have yet to see any proof that Sen. McCain has palled around with domestic terrorists and convicted felons, plus trained an army of little ACORNS to steal elections. I have yet to see any proof that Sen. McCain is a corrupt Chicago thug who tries to shut down free speech if he thinks it will harm his rightful ascent to the throne. Obama may win this presidency. If so, I don’t want to be one of the ones who helped him. I will go down fighting. Thank you for listening.
rwr, i followed the ideological idiot twice in the nineties, both times clinton was my reward. thanks, but the choice of keyes, who has run nearly as often, with nearly as much success, as the idiot ralph nader has zero chance of capturing 3% of the vote, and won’t you feel like an idiot if the messiah wins by 1%. at least perot had 17% and 11% respectively. didn’t ease my conscience when clinton shamed this country.
Please, by all means tell me how a McCain/Palin ticket is better than a Newt/Jindal ticket. (Given that Newt/Jindal are on running) My vote is far better than your liberal (light) vote. Can’t you see that Palin saved McCain? SHe’s the only reason he’s even got a shot at it.
I’m not supporting Obama, McCain is handing it to him. Had he denounced his Amnesty plan, called for drilling in ANWR, and stated that he would support the Bush tax cuts, we’d talk. But he’s for amnesty, against drilling in Anwr and for raising taxes.
There’s not enough lipstick in the world to cover this pig. Nice work Biden. I just love your subconscious getting the better of you. Hillary has been unusually quiet lately.
A voice of reason crying in the wilderness of this particular thread. Thank you.
Calling a wife “the wife” can be annoying. I knew a group of techies who called their wives “spousal units”; they’re divorced now.
John Ansell…I totally agree with you on those issues. Totally! BUT, Obama would be WORSE. He is corrupt to the bone. McCain may be dead wrong on some of the important issues of the day, but he is NOT CORRUPT. Do you really think that, once Obama gets in, he will do no harm to this country? Dream on. He will destroy it. McCain might not work for immigration reform or drilling in ANWR, but he isn’t corrupt. And he won’t try to enforse the “fairness” doctrine. He is so much further to the right than Obomba, you really have to be blind to think there is no difference between the two candidates!
Sorry. McCain voted for the bailout. I am voting third party.
One more thing…John McCain would probably not serve more than one term. Then Sarah Palin could run. She is totally conservative and wants drilling in ANWR. Not sure of her stance on immigration because they have very carefully skirted around that issue for political purposes. But I have a feeling she would be a strong supporter of the fence and other measures to help solve the problem. She seems like a very strong woman. Newt and Jindahl are both excellent conservatives and,IF THEY WERE RUNNING, I would vote for them. We we are stuck with the one who brought us to the dance, whether he is our dreamboat or not. I will repeat…Obama is a corrupt Chicago thug who could probably not even get security clearance to tour the White House, let alone live there!
You mean the Newt that sided with Pelosi on global warming, and Hillary on health care?
God, it sucks to be a Goldwater conservative. It’s like living in a Twilight Zone episode.
Now there’s a bumper sticker.
I once introduced my (then) wife as “my wife, [her name]“.
She went completely off, saying she was “not one of my possesions”. Go figure.
So instead of calling Obama “THE ONE” should we call him “My One”? Thank for watching out for “the wife”.
Kind of like McCain joining Billy boy on his Global deal?
I know Obama is worse. He’s a Democrat so that goes without saying. I’m sticking to the Right and will not cross the line to the Left.
Newt/Jindal 2012.
When is Biden going to stop with the four-letter words?
You’re not married to Obama, fool. And you don’t owe him any respect.
Are you saying you have to agree with every single issue? Why don’t you just run for President yourself? Obviously you are looking for a perfect candidate, and you probably think you would be. The perfect candidate does not exist. There will always be some things you do not agree with.
I’m listening. Don’t forget the Supreme Court.
And one of these people thinks it’s ok to hang with terrorists, the other got the crap beaten out of him for being an American when he could have walked out. There is a huge qualitative difference between these two.
Sometimes you play offense, sometimes you play defense. Right now the enemy is on our 14 day line and threatening to punch it in. It’s time for defense – do not let the Marxist score.
No, Senator Biden, don’t say another word, unless it’s related to the economy. Not another word I tell yah.
Sorry, but calling Capt. Big Ears and his Boy Blunder on what and who they are is NOT demonstrating they are out of ideas, nor is it ugly or an attack.
Of course, when you look at just who and what these two are and what they are planning on doing to this country and it’s inhabitants, then I can see easily why they would label it as such.
The last thing they would ever want is for the people of this country to actually know just who and what they are and what they are planning to do.
Since when is it a bad thing to tell the truth about what and who your opponent is? When the truth shows them to be Socialists and shows that they will leave this country a shambles for generations to come, as well as leaving it wide open for an incredibly large and murderous attack from The Religion of Pieces.
“QUIT” is the last thing we should want Joe to do right now. A better three-letter work for Joe is “TALK”, as in keep on talking. Biden is the gift that keeps on giving.
The media ignores all his gaffes, but they can’t hide them forever. They are now part of the record. His most recent remark – implying that the world is going to test a new Democratic President, like they did JFK, because of his lack of experience – will not only be useful in this election but also in many future elections to come. It serves to remind Americans that even high ranking Democrats lack confidence in their own abilities when it comes to foreign policy and keeping us safe.
Of course it’s all blacked out on NBC…
Andrea Mitchell left it out completely.
I just checked out your link and kept myself entertained for a couple hours. Thanks! I hope you don’t mind but I did a print screen of the “post turtle”. It would be funny if it weren’t so true.
BTW, does
