McCain wins in a landslide?

“I think the dirty little secret is that McCain could win this in a landslide. I actually do,” Rush Limbaugh said on his radio show Tuesday. “I think there is so much huff and puffery here about Obama, and the bloom has long ago gone off that rose. It happened during the Democrat primaries.” Limbaugh contends that the public is learning that Obama is all style and no substance.

    ‘really’ head the ticket.

    Since the official BLOG Rush Limbaugh investigator, the good and honorable, CapnAmerica has not chimed in yet today let me correct your misconception, Phantom.

    As a loyal operative of Opertion Chaos, (I have the T-shirt) the purpose never was ‘to keep the darky off the ticket’.

    It was merely to encourage the Hildebeast and keep her in the running thereby causing ‘the darky’ to fight on and be weakened.

    Operation Chaos is a success and continues.

    John Sidney McCain the Third (for Shrub’s 3rd term) has nothing to say on his behalf. The only message of his campaign is “I’m not that young, healthy, bright, inspirational Negro.”

    And then ol’ melanoma face says “I approved of this message.” Then the campaign says “the candidate doesn’t speak for the campaign.” McC*nt wears his $580 hand-made Italian loafers on his wife’s private jet en route to one of their eight mansions and says “Obama is too ‘elite?’”

    And despite all these negative attack ads, McSame is still losing to Obama. They play to the CONs who would vote for a rabid dog before they’d vote for any Democrat, but McBush can’t pick up any new support.

    As an infotainer who presents poorly-researched opinion as facts, one could easily accuse Mr. Limbaugh of being a hypocrite. It’s not that I think Obama will fix everything that’s wrong with the country… it’s just that I would vote for the Hamburglar before I would vote for John McCain.

    Mr. Putin can and would crush Obama. Mr. Putin would love for a weak kneed liberal to win in Nov. as it makes it that much easier for him in his quest to reunify and strengthen Russia and subjugate his neighbors and who knows who else.

    Rush, CNN, Fox News are all just entertainment. They will try to have you think otherwise, but facts are facts.

    I feel sorry for people who actually watch these people and take what they say at face value. I’d implore everyone here to research issues yourselves.

    The great thing about the internet is that you can get your news from more credible sources now. I was watching youtube videos about Russia and Georgia. The comments on the videos usually give one a better picture of what’s going on over there.

    It appears that Russia are the good guys in this instance and America has turned into the empire builder.

    I’d like to see us out of NATO and minding our own business. Looks like the one world government talk is more than a myth with America spearheading the charge.

    Yes, those areas have been in conflict with Georgia.

    Yes, Russia SAYS this is why Russia got involved.

    However, why then is Russia invading areas far outside of the disputed territory?

    “McCain wins by a landslide” and the papers reported Dewey won in 1952 but when he awoke Truman had been elected president. History shows that when the American voter become so disillusioned by the party that is currently in power change is always the ever present danger to the current holders of power.The conditions facing the American voter today are so similar to that period that led to the the Great Depression and marched in the Democratic Party with the election of FDR and history will repeat itself this election cycle so the “landslide for the GOP” will be the “landslide” defeat of the Republican emissary McCain and the GOP.

    When is the last time he surprised you?

    When is the last time he changed your mind?

    When is the last time you found yourself thinking, “Hmm. I never thought about it that way”?

    Never.

    Because he spoon feeds all your prejudices. He regurgitates your biases. He may say it better than you could ever come up with it, but he doesn’t say anything you don’t already believe. That’s his job.

    I am not a famous bigmouth like Rush Limbaugh is. But, what exactly is he talking about when he says substance?

    When I heard how both candidates proposed to solve the energy crisis a few weeks ago, neither candidate had a good plan that was anywhere complete.

    I think the substance argument is being used by people that have anxiety about a black man becoming president without admitting it. The natural reply to this is that, Obama supporters just want a black man in office.

    Obama has alot more energy, spunk, and brains in him to run this country. I admit, he hasn’t the ability to give a strategically placed tongue lashing like McCain does. I have heard that McCain will probably only be interested in a single 4 year term. Is that all the poop he has left?
