McCain has lost his mind. I am a bit speechless. But not totally :-)

Re: McCain saying Clinton or Reagan did not have experience....holy cow!

Clinton was governor of Arkansas for 10+ years. Arkansas has 4x the population of Alaska.

Reagan was governor of California for 8 years. California, back then, had at least an order of magnitude many people than Alaska does today.

What an asinine comment by McCain!!

I have been all over the McCain website and can't find the evidence he talks about regarding Obama supporting sex education for kindergarteners. In any case, enough independent sources have verified that McCain's claims aren't true, but I just wanted to see the lies for myself.

McCain is a risk we can't afford. — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 20:19:04 GMT

If McCain really believes Palin is qualified to take over as POTUS on Day 2, if necessary, he is delusional. If not--he is incredibly selfish and dishonest and clearly does NOT love his country.

LoOK — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 20:20:05 GMT

This is just another example of McCain showing his lack of leadership and his regret for picking Palin. The fact is that America is not embracing her and Republicans and reporters are now starting to say she should step down.

McCain: "I have always had 100 percent, absolute truth."

The scary thing is he may actually believe this.

That aside, Sen Hothead, its always a mistake to reinforce your own negative perceptions. And being as "experienced" as you are, you obviously know this, but still can't quite control yourself.

Sorry, but I just don't want a president who is ruled by his own emotions, especially when those emotions seem so childish so often.

Oh, no, who needs the blessing of one's own Party-Certainly not a Maverick who is so riddled with early signs of Dementia he'd go far enough to compare Palin with Bill Clinton because both were/are Governors. Problem is, even Republicans are smart enough to see the difference between a Governor who was a Rhodes Scholar, attended Oxford and Law school and, one can even assume, possesses a genius mind. Sarah Palin, on the other hand possesses a ...Hunting Licesne???

Ok. If any of you still feel the need to vote for Sen. McCain, please go ahead. It's your right as an American. When everything is said and done, please dont come crying when you see President-elect Obama being driven down the streets of DC to make his inaugural speech. Nobody will be listiening to you that day. That's our right as Americans. (sticking my tongue out at you).

Let's be clear- McCain does not have the steady, stable temperament that the Presidency requires. Ms. Palin certainly does not have the education, background or world view that the Vice Presidency requires; she obviously doesn't even read.

It's about time that this country again puts their best and brightest into office. We deserve to have a President that is thoughtful, well-educated and not prone to temper tantrums. These are not negative characteristics, they are the least that this country needs and deserves!

Yet another example of how late to the party McCain is. Palin has been labeled an albatross for at least five days now. In true and timely form - he will address our concerns --- next week, after he's rested up over the weekend.

Out of touch/out of mind - literally

Yes, just what we need... another hot-headed president that lives in a bubble. The majority of America is NOT siding with you when it comes to Palin. And c'mon... its been proven that Obama didnt want to teach kindergarteners about sex education - he's referring to a program to teach kids about not talking to strangers (possible sex offenders).

There was a time when I had so much respect for John McCain. I thought he was a man of character and principle.
That was very naive. What we see today is either the real John McCain or simply that he'll do and say anything to be elected president.

D. Francis San Diego, CA — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 20:35:23 GMT

So now McCain dares to compare Sarah Palin with Ronald Regan or
Bill Clinton? What is this man thinking, if anything? Also, he needs to
stop using the word "fundamental" in every other sentence. He sounds like a worn out old 45 record. He keeps inflating
number of people that attend their dog and pony shows and
has no clue as to how tired, angry and out of touch he comes across
to the voters. I once had respect for McCain and thought he would make a good president. Those days are long gone. He went and sold his soul to the ultra conservative wing of the party to get their endorsement, weak that it is. That is not the definition of "maverick", that "MY FRIENDS" is a sell out. What a team Tired McCain and Clueless Palin. John McCain, you are no longer a friend of mine.
My vote goes to Obama. Final answer!

McCain has become a shell of the man he used to be! Truly sad! Say, I've been neither a mayor or a governor. But, I did live in Iran for nearly 2 years ... and, frankly, having lived and worked amongst the Iranian population, I have considerably more "foreign policy" experience than Sarah Palin!!

Mark, Des Moines — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 20:43:13 GMT

You know McCain was pissed that his judgment regarding Palin was questioned when he attacks Biden (not by name)in his rant.

And while I think he showed courage in not using his Dad's position to get out of prison early, technically the question regarding his always having a cushy health care plan was right. He wasn't able to access or use the plan during his time as a POW but he always had the coverage. (His 1st wife and 3 kids were able to use the plan)

Iowagirl — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 20:47:02 GMT

Quoted from McCain.
“I just want to make a comment about the obvious issue and that is the failure of Congress to act yesterday. Its just not acceptable,” said McCain. “This is just a not acceptable situation. I’m not saying this is the perfect answer. If I were dictator, which I always aspire to be, I would write it a little bit differently.”

Scares me! Sorry McCain, you have wore out your welcome in Iowa!

Anyone else notice that McCain's lost control of his left eye. It will start twitching eradictly.

It happened during last week's debate and has happened frequently this week.

He also became lost when trying to leave the stage in Missouri today. He went back and forth several times until someone helped him off the stage.

This is starting to become very frightening.

Left Coast Mike, Laguna Niguel, CA — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 21:03:52 GMT

Senator McCain is becoming mentally unstable. If anyone watched the C-SPAN broadcast of the debates, it was more than apparent. I was reminded of old footage of Adolph Hitler at the 1936 Olympics in Munich where is is rocking back & forth like a mental patient. The film was of course never shown to the public, German or otherwise, until well after the war. McCain's facial expressions and physical reactions during that debate were indicative of a serious problem. I'm sure his handlers have told him about this and worked to prevent a repeat performance. Yet over ther past two weeks in particular, his judgment, his grasped of reality, and his ability to comprehend questions appear to be impaired. He is lashing out at imaginary foes. Signs of acute paranoia are manifesting themsleves. This is a dangerous time for America.

Aren't there any smart American's out there? Don't you realize your beloved Obama has close ties to Muslims, radicals, Iran, Pakastan and who knows what else? DO YOUR HOMEWORK, RESEARCH OBAMA AND MICHELLE, THE MEDIA WON'T DO IT FOR YOU! Your sorry mouthy selves will regret the day you spoke Obama's name when all these crooks start reeling your boy in! I would rather take my chances with a genuine American like McCain any day than sell my country out to the Muslims. Shame on you all!

Whoa! I think it is too early to call the election just because McCain's rhetoric is getting a bit explosive...remember Khrushchev pounding his shoe, and Castro firing expletives. Hot contention doesn't eliminate one from a position of power -- at least in totalitarian states. Oops, is that the direction we are heading?

They deserved to look stupid. Dumb Iowan hicks. I mean, come on! There are hundreds of examples, and they couldn't come up with one?

Can we please teach McCant some new vocabulary words. I realize that after the "fundamentals of our economy are strong" disaster he is attempting to insert the word fundamental into every conversation of to describe and and all situations but this is ridiculus.

Also note that he is hostile and condescending to reporters and the American poeple.

McCrazy is not able to be asked a question by someone that does not agree with him.
He acts as if, just because he was a POW, you are not allowed to disagree, or he'll cut you down.

He is NOT the only POW in this country. Why is he bestowed all the honor and glory that they ALL deserve.
He was the one that is nick named "SONGBIRD", because he made many anti-American tapes and broke his OWN arms when he ejected from his plane by holding them OUT instead of how he was taught... after a night of heavy drinking.

He is NOT the hero that he wants all to believe. Stop treating him as though he is!!!!

He is the arrogant elitist. Not Obama.

The whole country is beginning to get it. Mccain is NOT FIT to run the country and palin SURELY is NOT !!!
