Support NeoGAF

[Grifter]

So he is going to reform education without spending any money on it?

Saying "I want teachers to answer to parents" doesn't mean anything. How the hell are you going to do it?

This is such an empty speech.

I'd rather parents answer to teachers.

 

[Tommie Hu$tle]

I hope someone will ask during the debates what states will we place additional Nuclear power plants.

 

[speculawyer]

He's flat, he has no enthusiasm.

He has no timing. It's awful.


He puts pauses in the wrong places.

 

[ronito]

He just said nuclear power last week John.

This is republican zone. Pesky things like facts can't stop them.

 

[phalestine]

The Daily Show can't come soon enough.

I hear that.

 

[qwertybob]

is he starting to struggle to read his speech, to be fair he has been on his feet for 20 minutes

 

[gcubed]

so hey guys, i take it back...

its getting painful

 

[Duke Togo]

there's no fucking way you can drill offshore wells "now". the amount of planning, development, and resources needed to start drilling is at least a few years away.

 

[DY_nasty]

Oh no! MY deepest fears! Terrrists!

 

[Grizzlyjin]

US vs The World!

 

[Snaku]

Watcha gonna do Iran? Whatcha gonna do, when the Maverick runs wild on you!?!?

 

[Jak140]

More fearmongering? Fail.

 

[Zombie James]

"They'll strike up again if they can!"
"Iran is going to get nukes!"
"Russia hates democracy!"

All within 20 seconds. Oh yeah, that's rich, RUSSIA is the one who invades other countries for oil :lol

 

[X26]

Ohh, fear mongering

This going after russia bit, wtf

 

[DrFunk]

Oh God, please don't put this man in office

 

[BobLoblaw]

He's pretty bad at giving speeches. What he needs to do is lose his temper before going out on stage like that.

 

[PotatoeMasher]

I'm not watching but the speech must be REALLY bad.

No one here is even attempting to defend it.

GAF said the same stuff about Palin's speech last night. It shouldn't be a surprise--he's going for the folks who haven't made up their minds yet.

*whisper*Also, They don't call us the silent majority for no reason.*/whisper*

 

[deadbeef]

It's not such a bad speech. He's bringing some substance at least, finally.

 

[echoshifting]

Cold War time alrite!

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Pretty terrible waste of an opportunity to really get more specific about the policies. It's just made worse by a terrible speaker.

 

[ZeoVGM]

For real, this speech is fucking terrible.

 

[speculawyer]

Man you have no taste in women.!

I've done much better.

 

[giga]

"international lawlessness". deja vu..

 

[Yaweee]

Though I think McCain lies about Obama's positions more than the reverse.

This is possibly the loudest push for School Vouchers that I've heard from either major party in a loooong time, so I'm hard pressed to complain.

Aaaaand... then he swings into foreign policy and the bus implodes.

 

[effzee]

Russia invades other nations for Oil.

wow.

just wow.

 

[Nabs]

yay more war.

 

[Tim-E]

Every bit of pure anger and hatred I felt after last night and this 9/11 video from today has now calmy returned to the lulz this convention was supposed to be. Well, the anger is still there, but I'm not pissed off watching this speech because it's fucking awful. :lol

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

is he starting to struggle to read his speech, to be fair he has been on his feet for 20 minutes

He's like 3 hours past his bed time. Don't be such an ass.

Edit: He was also a POW! Don't forget!

 

[OmniGamer]

I'm afraid of YOU, McCain

 

[Mahadev]

Some fact checking for mr. McCain

[~Devil Trigger~]

YOU'RE NOT GONNA ATTACK RUSSIA

STFU

 

[Big-E]

Putin is not amused.

 

[mj1108]

"I know how the world works"

Really John??? You do???

 

[Shaheed79]

Sexy

 

[Duke Togo]

Watcha gonna do Iran? Whatcha gonna do, when the Maverick runs wild one you!?!?

:lol :lol

 

[theBishop]

Russia defended the Russian citizens in South Ossetia from Georgian invasion for oil!? WTF?!

 

[speculawyer]

I know all this stuff . . . I've been keeping a secret for the the 30+ years I've been in the Senate.

 

[ronito]

Man I really hate rzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[qwertybob]

He's like 3 hours past his bed time. Don't be such an ass.

 

[Byakuya769]

I've done much better.

heh, much skinnier and with far less make-up too


she's FAT

 

[v1cious]

i just watched this movie an hour ago.

 

[Future PhaZe]

McCain firing shots at Russia?

What was that about the world ending in 2012?

For the love of god...

 

[Zabka]

I'm intrigued by their baby drilling plan, but I need to hear more specifics.

 

[typhonsentra]

Though I think McCain lies about Obama's positions more than the reverse.

This is possibly the loudest push for School Vouchers that I've heard from either major party in a loooong time, so I'm hard pressed to complain.

Aaaaand... then he swings into foreign policy and the bus implodes.

It's the loudest push I've heared in 4 years.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Oh god now he's in high gear. Someone must be flashing a clock at him. Terrible.

 

[Rugasuki]

It's not such a bad speech. He's bringing some substance at least, finally.

I agree. It's going to play well with independents. The media will like it.

 

[Zeliard]

I honestly think the biggest reason McCain is a poor speaker is because he doesn't actually personally believe most of what he's saying, and he's not capable of really hiding it. You can tell. It's written all over his face. Those awkward smiles he gives after throwing out some popular talking point only reinforce that.

This speech is not working as the stump speech that it basically is. He would have been much better off discussing policy, since enthusiasm and charisma aren't nearly as critical in that case.

 

[NullPointer]

" I hate war."

Huh.

Somehow I don't believe you John.

 

[giga]

 

[Spike Spiegel]

I'm not watching but the speech must be REALLY bad.

No one here is even attempting to defend it.

Who'd be stupid enough to dip their papercut hand into a tank full of ravenous piranha? Aren't tonight's pages of this thread disgusting enough already?
