Happy '72th' Birthday' To More Of The Same' McCain

The Hippocrat Party would like to wish presidential candidate 'More Of The Same-John McCain' a Happy '72th' Birthday on August 29.So,please don't take it personal,Mr.McCain,when we ask you a simple question about this campaign ad:'When it says....'Washington's broken.John McCain knows it.'




....Where was president George W. Bush when hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and the rest of the Gulf Coast on August 29th,2005?















Oh,yes...he was with you.

I suppose president Bush should have been out in the gulf, negotiating with the hurricane. I'm sure thats what Obama would do,

Hello,Esteban,'ol buddy.Any response within a week would have been nice....I mean anything.That 'More Of The Same' didn't whisper in his ear,"Umm,don't you think you should be doing something about Katrina?"Tells allot about MCcain as well.

What are you talking about Esteban, Obama would have stopped the hurricane and made a rainbow and had Skittles falling from the sky!!

What If There Is dog? said...

Obama would have not waited days on end to send help.Dharma,you state you are not following the presidential campaign,therefore,I must assume you have not actually heard too many of Obama's words.He is the man for the job.Mccain can't even define what the word 'honor' means...how hard is that?Do the right thing?Besides...I thought you would like rainbows and fairy dust.

Drew,

I am surprised as a staunch "Flag Waving American" that you can actually say that John McCain has no honor. I even respect what he gave for his country and I am not a fan of war! I am surprised at you.

I have heard Obama's words. He is about the best speaker that I have heard in my lifetime and he knows how to WOW a crowd and that is where he leaves me....... He is allot of flash, but I also want substance. I just can not be lead by my emotions when I vote.

What is his stance on education...exactly without sound bytes? What does he plan to do, EXACTLY, for the working middle class and what is his real health care plan?

Yes, we need change, but change is more than a sound byte and a yard placard. Who and what does he know enough about to put together a sensible cabinet? Hell, Colin Powell would have made a much better candidate. There is a man with knowledge!!

Obama has barely still wet behind the ears and you are ready and willing to just give him the whole kit and kaboodle. Yes, I may end up having no choice, but I am not just going to jump on the bandwagon because he can woo me.

By the way, I love rainbows and fairy dust!!

What If There Is dog? said...

Dharma,yes I know that you love rainbows and fairy dust!That is why I am amazed that you are not voting Obama.He is openly for gay rights.He may not be able to get universal health care,but,by golly,he is going to try.He is very pro-troops where Mccain has shown again and again that he is not.Barack is pro-choice:McCain isn't.McCain let himself be punked by Karl Rove and then now embraces him and his tatics.Obama has led a calm basically clean-hopefilled campaign...can you say the same thing about John McCain?The old McCain,not the new McCain is the better McCain.But John McCain has sold his soul to become president.

About his honor,I never doubted that he was honorable,but don't you have to know what honor is to be honorable?In this 'Time'magazine interviw(http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1836909,00.html) John McCain won't even explain what he believes what 'honor' is...and he is asked numberous times!Why?Because he knows he has to cross the line to work with Karl Rove.Is that who you really want for president.I say,'No more of the same,John Mccain!'

For some reason,Blogger won't let me give you the entire interview link.Click onto this http://www.time.com/time/magazine

Then click onto the John McCain interview link for his refusing to say what 'honor' is...not even a 'doing the right thing' quote.

Drew,

Why do you even begin to question whom I might be voting for? I only ask the questions because I am so opposed to just the blatant following of someone because you/people are so caught up in the "magic". I like to think things through entirely before I make any choices. I have never been enamored with Obama and have not yet read anything that has shown him to be "the man".

To bring up the "gay issue" is profiling isn't it? To assume that because I am liberal I must be "for" all the gay issues and therefor for Obama.

Speaking of gay rights...is that an issue that needs to be front and center right now when the infrastructure of our own cities is falling apart? When there is a war going on and many other issues. Gay marriage is low on my list.

My god...listen to yourself repeating the mantras. The sound bytes. Even if you are for a certain candidate is it necessary to repeat their cute phrases? Yes, we can, More of the same McCain, change, change, change...........

What If There Is dog? said...

You make valid points dharma,gay rights shouldn't be an issue.All Americans should have the same liberties as everyone else.Yes cities are falling apart,jobs are being lost....eight years of George Bush economics/six of a republican congress...you just totally build that make up in two years of a democratic lead congress.

With republicans you always have to read between the lines of what they are saying..white man(now woman)speak with forked tongue.

clean air act means let them pollute.Patriot act means ehittle away our freedoms...Dharma vote for whomever you like...but NO MORE OF THE SAME FOR ME.I'm voting for Obama.Call it falling for their Mantra or anything else you like,but I am not the one baaa-ing like a sheep over the same old shit

Drew,

You make me laugh. :-) Why you make, or how you can make, assumptions about whom I am going to vote for. You have no way of knowing. All I am doing is pointing out how people vote their emotions and falling to the trap of flowery rhetoric and not studying the issues and how if you are going to argue certain points on the one side that you must be fair and argue them equally.

Does it make Obama any less able to be elected that he has a 9 and 6 year old child? How are they going to be cared for? Or is it different because he is a man? How will his family deal with all the same issues that they are hounding the other side about? Granted he does not have a pregnant daughter, but what if she were? What would you say then? Would he be less electable?

As someone who is for the " working class man" I would think that you might, at least find it refreshing, that Sarah Palin did not go to an ivy league school as did most of the usual contenders.

Also, let's make no mistake and be honest here. With ALL politicians, you have to read between the lines. Let's not fool ourselves. They may start out with high ideals, but by the time the "special interests" and other insiders get to them and whittle away at their plans they becomes something of a shadow of the intended idea.

What If There Is dog? said...

Dharma,I guess I am just not as jaded as you are.I believe in what Obama says.I do not consider his words 'flowery' speeches-though I know Tv says so...and if Tv says it's true it has to be true.

I found Sarah Palin refreshing until she openned her mouth.Just the same old republican shit.O-king the torturing of P.O.W's on one hand and then saying how brave Mccain was for being tortured.I am against torture.If we can torture so can they:PERIOD.I am against it.

It's a freedom thing.I would rather die via a terrorist acttack than allow torture.I would rather be shot to death than outlaw guns.I would rather keep my freedoms than through fear yelled uopn me give them up.

I am pro-American government.The anti-American less government assholes can kiss my ass.if they don't like America they can go live somewhere else.Less government..ha!Can you say Enron?halliburton.what they really are saying is 'let international' business run or lives...I am not for letting the fox in charge of the henhouse.

I don't assume that you are even going to vote-let alone assume who you are voting for.

I am voting to keep'America' strong...not just 'part' of it...God bless America.Vote Obama!

Dharma said...

Drew,

You had to have taken a basic speech class and can see that Obama uses every trick and typical "good speech giver" trick. He is fantastic when he reads them, but not so good at spontaneous, off the cuff, speaking.

As someone who has often spoken in public, seeking out fund raising and other misc. for non-profits, I can tell you that he does follow the tactics that are great for mass appeal.

I like a good yarn as much as the next guy and am swayed ans moved to tears by an excellent speaker, but I am also saying that I want something substantial as well.

I do not consider myself jaded, not at all, I am just practical and can see all sides of the issue. I like to be well read and well rounded. I simply can not just blindly follow the party line and rhetoric. Not when there is so much at stake and we are in such precarious times.

What If There Is dog? said...

pratical-jaded-samething.I can not believe that you are penalizing Obama for being a good public speaker.You probably are just too used to Bushisms.I have heard Barack speak on Tv many times.I like what I hear because he is actually saying positive things(that is why I am calling you jaded-sorry).He talks in complete sentences-that's a speaker trick.he does not talk down.Listen to him.He is actually asking for us to help grow this country.Imagine if Bush would have asked us to do anything:ANYTHING,after 9/11...America would have been up to the challenge.

What does McCain have to offer?More Bush?Chaney politics,that's what.Watching the republican convention has showed me that.They have nothing to stand on so they are trying to chop Obama down.

Just what is it that you have against Obama?He has as much experience as kennedy had,and speaks the same hopes.Is it his name?Barack Obama?Is it too foreign for you?Is it because he is black?
No,I don't think it is any of these.I think it is that you are afraid that he won't be any different...but he will be.

Like Bill Clinton was before him,he will make a difference.America will be proud to have him as a leader because that is exactly what he will be.No more mis-leaders,but a man on a mission to better the world!
