Anyone can be president :lol

The irony is that conservatism is often framed as a celebration of excellence.

 

[NullPointer]

I wish Obama's and McCain's speeches could've been shown back to back.

Then there would be no doubt about their relative quality.

 

[Pakkidis]

What I found funny

CNN: "There is no podium because McCain is giving the message that he is speaking with the people rather than to the people like Obama....:

*Podium rises from the stage*

LOL


I thought the video about Palin was trying waaaaaay too hard. "Mom, moosehunter, MAVERICK... reformer, blah blah blah, MAVERICK...

 

[pxleyes]

Can you have my baby for your next one Sam B?!?!!!!!

 

[gcubed]

What is Rudy? A miserable little pile of secrets!

you sir... you win

 

[scorcho]

another red-meat speech for the base. will this appeal to independents after the next few days?

probably not.

 

[DY_nasty]

He's gotta hurt since he at least used to respect McCain.

Yeah, you can tell. Hell, I was on that shit too. McCain was so awesome a few years ago.

 

[Frank the Great]

Guys, remember a few key words.

New voters. Get out the vote. Youth vote, black vote.

The national polls don't include ANY of these...and Obama is still winning. I'm really not worried.

 

[speculawyer]

Wikipalin is awesome

wat?

 

[Flakster99]

Disappointed in CNN's (Wolf Blitzer and the gang) thoughts as they dissected these speeches after they were given. I understand they're at the GOP convention' and that they walk a fine line out of a so called fairness to both parties, but they have been so much so on the safe side their thoughts are rendered utterly pointless, devoid of criticism or passion or individualism.

:lol Thx

The debates are coming. Let them try shilling this crap to Obama and Biden's faces.

 

[Shaheed79]

I'm confused as to what RNC means. Is that suppose to be rear-naked-choke?

 

[Zeliard]

He's gotta hurt since he at least used to respect McCain.

He's not the only one. The McCain of today is far removed from the McCain of a few years ago.

 

[CharlieDigital]

Hammering the hypocrisy, that was awesome.:lol :lol

More interestingly, it's like the physiological manifestation of cognitive dissonance.

 

[speculawyer]

To think. I used to have respect for you.

Who would want to be respected by you?

 

[BirdBomb]

Solid speech, just as the other 3. Can't wait for the debates.

 

[theviolenthero]

You know, I'm as liberal as anyone on GAF, but I think you guys are underestimating how the speech will play to a broader audience. It's going to have a completely different tone to someone who hasn't been eyeball deep in election coverage up until now.

37 million people watched yesterday. That's 74 million eyeballs!!!!!

Anyways, a "run-of-the-mill" speech by McCain. I give it a neutral rating. Don't think it'll hurt or help him.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

McCain of yesteryear was one of my favorite republicans. He's no where NEAR that anymore.

 

[Brannon]

OH SHIT IT'S HUCKABEE ON DAILY SHOW.

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

What is Rudy? A miserable little pile of secrets!

It's not by his hand that he was once again given flesh. He was called there by Republicans who wished to pay him tribute.

 

[Hellsing321]

Holy Shit @ TDS!:lol Samantha B just caused some republican heads to explode.

 

[Zeliard]

Did you guys know that John McCain has had the most appearances on the Daily Show of any guest?

 

[giga]

another dude on pbs: "good speech, but not what they needed. healthcare, environment, and the economy are what the independents are concerned about and this speech didn't do it"

 

[Y2Kev]

Romney is a loser :lol

I'm 32, and the number of my friends and coworkers who still have landlines is dwindling rapidly. It's not just college kids who can no longer be polled.

 

[MassiveAttack]

Rudy is a piece of shit. A miserable, little shit and I hope he goes away.

THIS.

 

[Basch]

Ah, f#ck it. I'm voting McCain. It's decided now. I had a pretty good idea of who he was back when I did a little research a year or two ago. Just wanted to hear it from his own mouth. I agree with most major points. Not only do I think he will make a suitable leader. I think he will make a great President. Haters can go f#ck themselves.

Besides securing 100% of my confidence, that was a good speech. Didn't think $hi+ like this ever got good write ups, but that was emotionally powerful. Reminded me of my good old days. :lol I hope he does well in the debates and convey the same passion he set forth today. If he can maintain this level of enthusiasm, he just might be able to pull this off. I can see people reaching out across the aisles. This is something worth supporting.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

You know, I generally like Huckabee as a person. He's genuinely funny.

You seem naive enough to actually believe the current computerized election is "fair". Do you really believe we put Bush in a second time on purpose? rly? rlyrly?

 

[Frank the Great]

True. And Obama is STILL winning.

Loves it.

another dude on pbs: "good speech, but not what they needed. healthcare, environment, and the economy are what the independents are concerned about and this speech didn't do it"

Yeah i saw that part the only guy to sorta make a point about what the speech missed.

 

[andymcc]

Huckabee is pretty charming on TDS...
