All About McCain

Strangler Lewis · 08-25-2008, 01:44 PM

I don't especially believe him when he says he's never used the internet. (Where does he get his porn?) I think he's reaching out to my mother and striking a pose in opposition to Obama's pose of hipness.

If it is true, I suppose I find it somewhat troubling that McCain has never used the internet. On the other hand, I own no video game consoles, and I hope that doesn't detract from my political viability or perception of my surgical skills. Further, to my mind, the lamest thing in this arena was Obama's big decision to announce his VP choice by text message, as if that somehow showed he was ahead of the curve in any meaningful way.

Last I checked, video games have not become a vital communication channel in matters international.

That use of the internet was particularly uninspired but made for a flashy headline. His campaign has been far more net savvy than that from the start, he's done an excellent job of using it to address that audience, not just the gimicky things that get coverage.

Assuming that nothing in the next 48 hours changes I have made my decision this November. I will not be throwing my support behind or giving my vote to Senator John McCain. I am sure a lot of you around here will be happy to hear that. You can thank me later.

I have sat here and watched Hillary Clinton, who finished in 2nd place be catered to almost every whim, except be named running mate by Barack Obama. I have also watched as Governor Mike Huckabee, who also in finished 2nd place, be almost completely ignored. There would be no problem if the same treatment was being given to other candidates who ran against McCain but that is simply not the case (Romney and Rudy have gotten way more attention and much more catering to). The only small scrap being thrown Mike's way is a speaking slot at the convention which may not even be during Prime Time. It is a complete insult to me, to the thousands of people who worked long hours supporting him, and to the 4 million people who voted for him.

John McCain, my friend (sarcasm) you are making a huge mistake sir.

Even though I'm a yellow-dog Dem, on the level, you have to do what you know is best. It has to be so frustrating, BDBopper. Here's to happier days for you.

Thanks. It is very frustrating. However we have only just begun our fight to reform the Republican Party. The GOP establishment wants to kick us off the island. Our will is stronger than theirs is I can tell you that right now.

We may not agree on the issues very much, 3894, but I have a great respect for you because you are doing what you feel is right and are involved in the political process. Too many Americans just sit on the sidelines and just watch it all happen and don't care.
