McCain Refuses to Participate in Debates

[Tchocky]

Are we having a debate tomorrow night or not? According to the McCain campaign...no. This is unprecedented. No Presidential nominee has ever refused to debate. Does Obama get the win if McCain doesn't show up? The further these debates get postponed, the greater the likelihood that one or more of the debates gets cancelled which is what the McCain campaign really wants. Why is McCain afraid to debate Obama? Why won't the McCain people let reporters question Palin? What is McCain hiding? McCain said he is suspending his campaign but I just saw a new McCain ad on the "Today Show" this morning attacking Obama. Is this guy a lying weasel or not?

A Mccain stregesist is a lobbyist for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae getting 30k a month from them.


LOLOLOL

and so it begins.

[pavyracer]

The probability of McCain elected is so slim that my Obama -110 ticket from a few weeks back looks like the steal of the century. I placed this bet before the stock market collapse.

Todays odds:

McCain +145
Obama -175

[SBR Lou]

What's his reason for 'refusing'?

[Willie Bee]

Maybe he just hasn't thought of the right way to word his lies.

[JRS21386]

The reason is he thinks we have a bigger problem on our hands (Financial Crisis) that needs to be resolved. He didnt just cancel his debate he halted his entire campaign and isnt even accepting donations at this time. He is in Washington trying to get something written up or worked out that will benefit the country. It's more of a move like "I care more about the country" than Obama type gig... Not a bad move.. McCain still leads Obama in most major polls

[pavyracer]

How does a 700 billion bailout for Wall Street financed by 100 million taxpayers is good for the country

Maybe McCain should freeze the profits of Exxon and all the other oil companies to get the 700 billion bailout. This is less than the oil companies profits combined for the last 5 years. Why does pavyracer and Willie Bee need to pay $7,000 out of their pockets to save Wall Street?

[fiveteamer]

pavy, seriously, stop thinking about your damn self for once.

If the boys at Goldman do not get their x-mas bonuses, everyone will suffer.

do you really want to suffer?

It seems more like a move designed to make a few of the sheep out there think he cares more about the country. But then if he really cared about the country before now, he wouldn't have let Fannie May and others give him money and would've been voting NO, NO, NO on every flippin' bill that had more pork than a Memphis barbecue stand.

McCoot caught in a LIE

This is like when he pulled out of The Late Show with David Letterman claiming he had to catch a flight back to DC.... only to be caught seen in NY having a shitdown interview with Katie Couric.



The old geezer is the worst liar since.... well, Bush.

"Need a ride to the airport?"

[Deuce]

I'd break Olberman in half.

McCain does things for his best interest not a fukkin puppet show.

[daggerkobe]

Yeah that really helped him, a lot.

If you're going to screw a nationally televised host with millions of viewers, at least do the sitdown with a different network so he doesn't have the live feeds. What a fcuking moron!

[Bluehorseshoe]

Do he doesn't. He told Letterman he had to get on a plane and get back to Washington. He lied and went right over to Katie Couric for an interview.

[JRS21386]

Who gives a shit what the guy does?!?! lol what if someone was breathin down your back on every move? it doesnt accomplish or solve anything.. Im surprised you people dont know what McCain and Obama had for Breakfast this morning... lol

5 Dimes has Obama at -190 and McCain at +165. Where did you get your odds?

[Fishhead]

Let's hope he gets to at least -300, just in case we have a slip up in Florida or somewhere when counting the votes.

If McCain/Palin win, we are history folks, stick a fork in the U.S.

Pleezzzzzzzz don't vote for this ticket...........wake-up and smell the beans.

[RageWizard]

McCain doesn't want to debate because he will get his ass handed to him big time, so it is better to not debate for him. I think they should put up a card board cut out of him and have one anyway without him.

[moneyline]

Yes, Obama's foreign policy experience is, in a word, extensive.

(or not)

keith olberfart... now he's impartial..

[danrman]

if you guys think mccain doesnt want to debate you are total idiots.. politicians are professional talkers... its what they do for a living..

[daggerkobe]

The jist of McCoot's foreign policy.......

McCoot believes Putin is the President of Germany......


McCoot believes Iraq shares a border with Pakistan.....


McCoot believes Iran trains Al Qaeda (their mortal enemy)......


Imagine McCoot visiting Asian countries and calling them "Gooks".....

[moneyline]

Oh, man, you don't want me to YouTube the illustrious Mr. Biden and his gaffes ... I don't think this site has the bandwidth, do you?

[tacomax]

if you guys think mccain doesnt want to debate you are total idiots.. politicians are professional talkers... its what they do for a living..

Excellent and educated point.

Now let's assume that you're the manager of the Red Sox and you've made the World Series. You were to face the Chicago Cubs but due to a technicality, you can face the Pittsburgh Pirates instead if you take that option.

I guess you'd still play the Cubs, right? It wouldn't make a difference who you faced, would it? MLB players are professional players, it's what they do for a living, right?

McCain punked Hussein Osama into going to Washington, too. Otherwise McCain should just have told Sarah to go and handle his "light lifting" for him and do the debate herself. Will Hussein Osama be allowed to read his debate answers off a teleprompter? Also, I'm sure he wants to be sure that it gets broadcast to all the 57 States just as President Roosevelt's address to the nation about the stock market crash in 1929 was.

[daggerkobe]

Go ahead, no one is stopping you.

But don't you think it's pathetic how McCoot is running on the supposed strength of his experience of foreign policy yet lacks basic knowledge that even a 3rd grader knows?

[Deuce]

57 States?


Drug Addict


Beat around the bush about his faith.


Just inflate your tires guys.


Mumbling idiot.

So Iraq, Georgia, Kossovo, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Esthonia are the new 7 states, right?

[daggerkobe]

Oh, yes, those are far worse than not knowing current events which are directly affecting our country's foreign policies.

[ms61853]

Ask Hussein Osama. He is the one with inside knowledge about how many States there really are.

[pavyracer]

Ask Hussein Osama. He is the one with inside knowledge about how many States there really are.

Pardon me. I thought McCain's agenda was to stay in Iraq for 100 years and annex Georgia, Kossovo, Poland and the Baltic countries.

[WileOut]

Makes me want to puke every time I see Obama speak and there are the white trash with IQ's in the 30's right behind him with big I WILL CHANGE THINGS or whatever signs they hold for that racist POS.

The only thing Obama would change is to tax the living fire out of small business owners trying to get by in order to feed his south Chicago crack abusers.

And about the government bailout using taxpayers money, they are going to be buying these businesses at below market value prices, then the government will sell the shares back once they reach market value again when the economy inevitably rebounds no matter who the president is (because if you know anything about the economy you know the president has little to do with how it performs). So the government is going to bailout the companies and make money doing it in the long run when they sell the shares at a higher price than they bought them. Winner winner chicken dinner.

Ron Paul for president!

Absolute, total and utter genius. WileOut for president.

[daggerkobe]

You don't think Bush raised taxes on all of us? He quadrupled gas prices.... oil companies' profits soared above even Wal-Mart's.... thus they paid more taxes... which went straight to Iraq. Sneaky but just the same.

And idiots think the $300 "stimulus check" is so great, when they've been paying thousands more at the gas pumps thanks to Bush.

[WileOut]

Absolute, total and utter genius. WileOut for president.
