		<description>Some of you people&#039;s ageism is breathtaking.  It always surprises me that those who support a candidate on the basis of such noble ideals such as &quot;hope,&quot; &quot;change,&quot; and &quot;tolerance&quot; can be so cynical, stubborn and intolerant.  

But then, I suppose that&#039;s just the hypocrisy of politics.  We like one-sided lies to make us feel morally superior to someone.  

I guess I&#039;m just not insecure enough to hop on the bus.  My vote&#039;s going to the candidate who is the best qualified.  An occasional gaffe - and certainly age - will not necessarily move me to vote for (or &quot;against&quot;) anyone.  I really wish these elections would start turning to issues instead of the seemingly endless and tiresome ad hominem attacks.</description>

		<description>If only there was a presidential candidate that actually studies foreign policy.  I know it&#039;s asking too much, but if only there was a candidate who also was extremely well versed in economics.</description>

		<description>Senile. That&#039;s the word that defines it. I wish him the best, but presidency demands a lot of effort and a sharp mind. McCain is slipping a lot. This was not just a verbal gafe, he repeated the same thing on another interview. 

To spd: I have been to 30 countries, does that makes me qualified to be a president?  Plus,  obviously you did not lose a seccond to trash Obama because of comments made by OTHER person, not him. That&#039;s sad... Hillary is still on this race because of people like you, who believe that the only way to win is to trash everybody in your way up. Be positive, believe in change.

		<description>McCain missspoke?? Maybe but he seems obsessed with Iran and taking a  swipe at them as well as holding fast in Iraq.. he loves war.. which is ironic as Viet Nam killed his buddies and left him in an apparent shambles. McCain is a &quot;good man&quot; but  seems frail and definately tired.. just want the Repiblicans want anther war monger they can control. I would never piant McCain with the same brush as Bush  that would be cruel but this man  doesn&#039;t have the physical or mental stamina to run a country.. It seems clear to me as a Canadian, stop the war and  the economy will pick up..direct the money to bring some manufacturing jobs back from china.. use the trillions to save your country instead of killing  your young soldiers and meddling in Iraq.. oh and DO NOT  VOTE McCain .. paula Canada</description>

		<description>This is less a gaffe than it is a meeting point between Neocon talking points and McCain&#039;s lack of knowledge about the reality based world. I would think the media, at least those people who are true reporters, would question Mr. McCain about his apparent confusion regarding foreign governments. A president might want to know these things a little better before sending the military to Belgium rather than Afghanistan.</description>

		<description>You know, even before he picks up the phone at 3am , in case there is a serious foreign agenda, he already made up his mind to go to WAR. He is a war freak.</description>

		<description>Nom Deplume, J.D., LL.M. please check your grammar before posting a message. As a lawyer it&#039;s a disgrace to our profession. Thanks.

As of McCains non understanding of the issues in Iran he needs to be updated, not that it will help him win in November.

Obama 08&#039;</description>

		<description>Nom Deplume, J.D., LL.M. - 

It&#039;s not a verbal gaffe - &quot;The DNC later sent out a transcript of McCain&#039;s interview Monday with conservative Hugh Hewitt, during which he appeared to make the same mistake.

&quot;As you know, there are al Qaeda operatives that are taken back into Iran, given training as leaders, and they’re moving back into Iraq,&quot; he told Hewitt.&quot;&quot;

Gaffes are slips of the tongue - this is a politician trying to scare voters, and he needs to connect everything to al Qaeda - just as Bush and Cheney had to fabricate a connection between Iraq and al Qaeda in 2002.</description>

		<description>Hey SPD...

Hillary should be President because &quot;she&#039;s been to 80 countries&quot; ???? 

Do you believe it&#039;s EXACTLY 80 ?? Might it have been only 76 or even 83 ??? Might it just be a guess ?  Ask her if she can name them .

Come to think of it ..can you name 80 countries ? 

Next .. Obama is a &quot;racists&quot; (Plural ?).. What does that mean? Where has he excercised that racism on you personally? .

You are exactly the type of spokesperson that makes it abundantly clear why Hillary&#039;s campaign flounders . And its a shame to watch her efforts, and Co-President Billy continue to split our Party for her personal advancement.. 

She used Arkansas..she used New York ..and she used Billy . Unfortunately for all of us ... the Republicans are now using her .</description>

		<description>Of course the dems will jump on his gaff...It&#039;s a major gaff and a reflection of how little he really knows...This &#039;fact finding&#039; trip is just a photo op for his campaign...Now he&#039;s an expert on Iran after one day - Same way Bush was an expert on Iraq...The guy&#039;s a joke - same as Bush was/is ...They have so much in common...That he has any kind of support in this country is just scary and I hope he continues to make gaffs because people need to realize that this man should be kept as far away from the presidency as possible.</description>

		<description>Come off it.  I&#039;m not a a McCain supporter and don&#039;t agree with him on Iraq, but this garbage makes the DNC look petty and ignorant.  Which is fine, but then it impacts on your two candidates who aren&#039;t either.  

The man misspoke.  Who hasn&#039;t done that.  He corrected the record.  If you can&#039;t come up with any substantive criticisms of his policies, of which there are a host to choose from, then do us a favor and shut up.</description>

		<description>Aren&#039;t  these comments just great? A soon to be 72 year senile old man, who has anger management issues and suffers 100% from Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Does it get any better than this? An American&#039;s cant seem to figure out what is wrong with this country. Both McNuts and Hillary should step aside and allow us to proceed forward with some fresh ideas and have this country led by someone with intelligence. Go Bam_Bam Obama.</description>

		<description>It is bound to happen that there would be some screw up about the players.  I would wonder how often he does this though.  If it become an increacing problem, then there needs to be some serious thought as to his ablity to lead.  He might still command respect, but could he give the orders that he really wanted to give?  That is the real question.</description>

		<description>We can not stand another 4 years of Bush policy from Mr. Lobbyist.  He&#039;s made a deal with the devil to ignore past executive issues that would land Bush in jail.  Repubs will do anything to keep in power so they can sweep these issues under the rug.</description>

		<description>Wow he made a mistake while speaking, no one ever does that. He is the only canidate with the experience we need now in this country, able to make sound executive decisions, and the only one with economically sound plans for healthcare and the economy that fall in line with free competitive markets. He&#039;s also not being a protectionist. Maybe if he takes the presidency he should hire obama to be he official speaker since that is all obama can intelligently do3a give speeches.</description>

		<description>These are the same types of mistakes Bush made when he 1st started running for President.  

America has paid heavily for not being critical of those revealing gaffes. McCain is such a war-monger he&#039;s got tunnel vision.  

The republicans have become so programmed to scare the American people with the threat of Alqaeda.  Talk about the ultimate Manchurian Candidate!</description>

		<description>Norm, it wasn&#039;t a verbal gaffe and you know it.  This is a candidate who&#039;s primary - and, perhaps only - selling point is his foreign policy expertise and experience.    It was a revealing moment - and instructive to anyone who might be entertaining the illusion that McCain has a superior command of foreign policy.</description>

		<description>Since they&#039;re ALL bad guys, the gaffe isn&#039;t that important...what really matters is that McCain has NO exit strategy and PLANS for an exit strategy. It is his intention to turn Iraq into another base of operations like Japan, Germany, Cuba, and Italy, where we have engaged in wars that lasted less time than this one.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s no amount of specious sophistry that can rationalize or erase the revolting image of Obama&#039;s fellow churchgoers rejoicing in obvious approval and exultation at Mr. Wright&#039;s rant that 9/11 was a case of &quot;America&#039;s chickens coming home to roost&quot; (a phrase cribbed, by the way, from Malcolm X&#039;s press conference on the Vietnam War in the 60s).

This was the Sunday after the 9/11 attacks, you have to remember, when everyone I knew, regardless of their political, cultural or social differences and divisions, came together in recognition of one another&#039;s humanity and to share in common grief. 

I cannot fathom a mind that would take that Sunday, or any Sunday for that matter, to plunge to the subhuman depths to indulge in malicious joy in the face of unspeakable suffering and loss by their fellow countrymen and their neighbors. 

What separates Obama&#039;s fellow churchgoers, whooping it up and high-fiving each other at the thought of those victims getting their just retribution for America&#039;s &quot;sins&quot; from the murderous Muslim radicals who swarmed the streets of Afghanistan or Iraq in jubilation when the Twin Towers collapsed in a flaming heap with thousands trapped inside?

And was Obama and his family not present for that sermon as well?? How convenient . . . On a day when even agnostic Americans found it necessary to seek out their nearest places of worship??

The thought that if Obama should become President, the likes of Mr. Wright would be advising him on matters of the soul is truly chilling. Thankfully, now that we know him by the company he keeps and will continue to keep, Obama&#039;s chances of getting anywhere near the White House is practically nil.</description>

		<description>This is a non-issue.  The bottom line is that both al Qaeda and Iranian-backed Shiite terrorists are a threat to our country.  The Dems are always looking for some irrelevant sound bite to try to shift the focus away from their inferior and inept candidates.

Thank God for John McCain.</description>

		<description>The McCain Senile Express coming to a city near you. The country went through one Alzheimer&#039;s presidency, we cannot afford another, especially when we&#039;re in the middle of a war.</description>

		<description>McCain makes a gaffe and, meanwhile, Barack Obama&#039;s star is fading because he only managed to attend a racist anti-american church for the last 20 years.  Which is worse?  A slip of the tongue (although Iran is a supporter of terrorism) or Barack&#039;s unconvincing confession?</description>

		<description>A MOMENTARY VERBAL GAFFE?  IT IS THAT KIND OF SCREW UPS THAT CAN CAUSE THIS GREAT NATION TO FALL IN DEFEAT.  YOU HAVE TO BE SHARPER THAN THAT TO LEQD A COUNTRY, YOU MUST FIRST THINK, THEN SPEAK.  IF YOU DO IT IN THAT ORDER YOU ARE BOUND TO SCREW IT UP AND A MOMENTARY GAFFE COULD PUT US AT WAR WITH YET ANOTHER TERRORIST COUNTRY.  YOU AND I CAN GET AWAY WITH YOUR SO CALLED MOMENTARY VERBAL GAFFE BUT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CAN NOT AFFORD TO SCREW UP, AND THAT IS WHAT McWAR IS, A HUGE SCREW UP.</description>

		<description>What is wrong with McCains arms? He can barely raise them above his waist. He looks like a bird with a couple of broken wings.</description>

		<description>SPD says,
&quot;One of the reasons Hillary should be and will be the next President of the United States. She has world experience. She&#039;s been to 80 countries&quot;.
How simplistic thinking is that. Why not just make our next President an airline pilot then. Just because Hillary makes a photo ops tour and shakes a few hands in Jordan does not make her an athority on world affairs. You people scare me.</description>

		<description>After 8 years of a president who can&#039;t spell cat or pronounce nuclear,  it would be nice if the next commander in chief could find Iran on a map.</description>

		<description>Training Al Qaeda or training extremists ---what is the difference?   It is the same thing to me---they are both the enemy.     What is the big deal???

Media acts as though they are experts on every issue in the world.

McCain knows more about the middle east situation then a bucket full of so-called &quot;reporters&quot; and journalists.</description>

		<description>I say this with a rather good sense of certainty... If John McCain is elected President we will enter into a 3rd World War. That would not be good for our Country or our World.

Vote Obama</description>

		<description>Sorry Norm, but this is not a momentrary gaffe, there will be more and its ok if he is a senator but our country can not afford to have these gaffes from a president.  He is too old, too short tempered and too inflexiable to be a good president.</description>

		<description>It seems to me that this was a Freudian slip, if not done on purpose.  The warmongers have relied so much on fear tactics.  They use  &quot;Al Quaida&quot; every chance they get to keep instilling that fear into the people of United States.  They used it as a link to Saddam Hussein, and therefore a &quot;reason&quot; to go to war.  They and the media continue to blame almost all violence in Iraq on &quot;Al Quaida&quot; because they believe it will keep people scared enough to think we should stay there forever (or at least for the next hundred years) to fight them.  It&#039;s just more of the same from the lying neoCON artists.  

A vote for McCain is a vote for a third term for president Bush and all the misery that presidency has wrought.</description>

		<description>&quot;Geez, that all the Dems have to talk about, a momentary verbal gaffe?

If eloquence were the measure of leadership, my debate instructor should be president.&quot;

He falls right in line with the present idiot president. 

Bush, McCain = McSame. 

Go Hillary 08!!</description>
