McCain Gaffe Thread

[Shayna]

Rather than start two new, separate threads, I thought it’d be more appropriate to resurrect this one. . .

Apparently Caribou Barbie wants to introduce a new program to Washington. And once it’s implemented, I bet it would look a whole lot like this!

Story.

What a twit!

And Maverick McCain wants to re-write the Constitution and violate a law upholding it that’s been in effect since 1935, with a wave of his Presidential Prerogative Wand, and fire the head of the SEC. Retard doesn’t know that the President doesn’t have that power once his appointment has been confirmed???

Story.

These two are grossly incompetent and I cannot believe they’re even polling 20%. It’s ridiculous.

Psssttt. You could run a box of hair with an (R) beside it, and it would pull 45% of the vote.

The phrase you want is “bucket of fluff.”

Or maybe “prisoner of war.”

Maybe it’s just “You could run a something of anything with an (R) beside it, and it would pull 45% of the vote.” Yeah, I think that it, and that’s just about what we’ve got.

Isn’t that what we’re already doing?

Yesterday, McShame said if he were President, he’d fire the Chairman of the SEC. Today, after he found out he was prohibited by the Constitution from doing that, he called for the voluntary resignation of the Chairman of the FEC.

McCain on banking and health in this month’s Journal of the American Academy of Actuaries:

McCain:
Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.

-Perfect timing.

Remember, this is a guy who wanted your Social Security savings to be put in that crapshoot called Wall Street. If your point was eight you made it back this week. If it was three, well, you’re fucked and will be a greeter at WalMart until you rid the rest of us the trouble and die.

I’m anti-draft because I’m 20 and my birthday is in January. Fuck no.

Isn’t the draft lottery a bit more complex than that? Back in my day somebody actually pulled dates out of a fishbowl. Meant Charlie didn’t just kill Capricorns and Aquarians. Who knows when you’ll need someone who is eccentric, intellectual, aloof, progressive, and friendly

Yup. My birthday is in November and I pulled an 11 back when the lottery meant something.

Then you Scorpios were UN-fucked. Who the fuck took any semblance to randomness out of the Draft Lottery?

Its so much more effective when you highlight the shit out of the money quote.
