Comments on: Czechoslovakia gets star treatment for third day in a row http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/07/16/czechoslovakia-gets-star-treatment-for-third-day-in-a-row/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Roger from CA http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/07/16/czechoslovakia-gets-star-treatment-for-third-day-in-a-row/#comment-1364081 Roger from CA Thu, 17 Jul 2008 01:04:44 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=8841#comment-1364081 Well, Sam, so much for the VP slot. Wasn't that excited about him, anyways. I blame him for knocking Bill Clinton off balance right out of the gate after his first inauguration by deliberately forcing the issue on gays in the military. Picking Nunn may appeal to the "Reagan Dems" and seniors, but would sap even more of the energy out of Obama's supporters on the left. Well, Sam, so much for the VP slot.

Haven't heard enough from Nunn to make that claim, but I've been listening to McCain for months.

You're saying that the news of Nunn doing this is part of a Republican smear campaign? But of course the Democrats are pure as the driven snow with regard to the McCain slip? Are you really that naive? Try looking up Occam's Razor...the simplest explanation is that the media loves to report this kind of thing because it drives everybody crazy. Chris:

How about you cut the folks some slack and spend your energy focusing on important matters.

"Nunn isn't running for President", etc. Guess what? He's being talked about for VP, which is one step from the Presidency, and frankly, the fact that someone else made the error the day before should have GUARANTEED that no one else would make it. That said, I agree with part of what PCA said, which is that all this little soundbyte stuff that the media loves so much, and that incites so many blog comments, is really insignificant. How about both McCain and Obama agree on the 6 or 7 key issues, then respectfully (with one another) lay out their postions and let US decide who to vote for? Why is that so hard??? Folks, our society is really getting pitiful in that we're SO soundbyte oriented, reality-show based, that we grind our wheels on that and that's exactly what the media gives us. We deserve better...we deserve substantive discussion on substantive issues, and BOTH the candidates deserve our respect. A special shout out to Kim, by the way...golly, I never heard McWar or McSenile. You're very McClever. Did you think of those all by yourself? YOU are EXACTLY the stereotype of the obnoxious, arrogant (with NO reason to be) Obama supporter that frankly is the biggest weakness of Obama as a candidate. You are nowhere NEAR as smart or as informed as you think you are--if it wasn't so pathetic it would be funny. How about another post...but don't forget to talk about McSame, McShame, McBush, etc....they've only been used about a grillion times already so they're probably funny to you.

If so why on earth would he even enter your thoughts as someone to vote for. Experience is just another word for familiarity. Many of the PUMA/notfallinginline people love to harp on experience. My question is if experience is such an important part of the puzzle, then why were you for Hillary? She's like the #39 ranking Senator. People have had plenty of chances to become more familiar with Obama but refuse to. If he's flip/flopped then I'd like to know when he had the original stand because from the opinions in his book "Audacity of Hope" and his speeches, the tune has been AMAZINGLY CONSISTENT. FISA is the only change he has made at all and that honestly was political survival. If he votes no, he's even more so painted as soft on terror. What does a 20+ year sojourn in congress do to prepare you to lead the country anyway? The last three candidates standing have less executive/administrative experience than I do...COMBINED. Demeanor, intellect, ideas, and comprehension of issues is what it's about here and Obama is KILLING McCain in all categories. Even a different kind of player has to participate in the same game.

But the fact is that he is not the nominee. McCain should know at least which countries are still out there. Besides McCain said it in 2000 running against Bush and Bush corrected him in a debate and he still doesn't get it. Obama will not choose Nunn as VP, that's just media speculation. It was understandable but dumb nevertheless, especially since McCain said it twice and it was all over the news, calling attention to it. But the fact is that he is not the nominee. McCain should know at least which countries are still out there. Besides McCain said it in 2000 running against Bush and Bush corrected him in a debate and he still doesn't get it.
