		<description>Islamic extremists are being trained in Iran and they are being sent back into Iran, I mean into Iraq. And explosive devices, these copper ones, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dostcafem.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;sohbet&lt;/a&gt;

		<description>So, if McCain slept in his garage every night he would become a Chevrolet?

This is another of his disconnected rationals for remaining uninformed about the real issues, AND/OR purposely obfuscating any matter to say everything in a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.batterylaptoppower.com/dell/inspiron-e1705.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;dell inspiron e1705 battery&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.batterylaptoppower.com/dell/latitude-d810.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;dell latitude d810 battery&lt;/a&gt;

		<description>I was here thinking (I do that on once in awhile) Wouldn&#039;t it be nice if we, for a change crash a McCain thread and just bash them with some of the dumb comments he makes and other things they don&#039;t want to hear?? I wouldn&#039;t even know where to go. I like to keep myself clean of germs so I never thread to the dark side of the web. I might give it a try. Any ideas?</description>

		<description>McCain replied that “to think that I would have some lack of knowledge about Sunni and Shia after my eigth visit and my deep involvement in this issue is a bit ludicrous.”

-----------------------------------

I&#039;ve changed planes at Dallas/Fort Worth many times, but I&#039;ve never been outside the airport.  Does this make me an expert on Texas?  No, but I know that if I&#039;m going to be connecting in Terminal B, I can pick up a snack at Au Bon Pain.

McInsane wants us to believe that his &quot;visits&quot; to Iraq exposed him to anything remotely accurate as to what&#039;s happening in that country?  I don&#039;t care if he went over there 100 times, if they were all carefully staged photo ops where he was never outside a carefully crafted security cocoon, and he was never exposed to any information other than dog-and-pony shows organized by Bushco.

And it&#039;s fairly obvious that he doesn&#039;t know the difference between Sunni and Shia -- despite his &quot;deep&quot; involvement in this issue.  I encourage him to prove me wrong on this point.</description>

		<description>44 - My pessimistic friend is all but certain of it. When I see the press treating McMav the way they do, I start to think the same way.

&quot;the people&quot; have been turned into such shallow, self-involved, dependent, ill-informed babies that there&#039;s a real possibility it will go down that way.

fear of death and the promise (albeit a fals promise) of protection are the primary psychological motives driving americans these days. the public holds itself in very low esteem when it comes to important matters, even though they are wildly ego-istic on the most trivial things.

Thanks, Marketing and Psych double-majors - you&#039;ve reduced a once-proud people into a teeming mass of needy dummies.</description>

		<description>McMaverick&#039;s cialis-fueled war-boner is impairing his cognitive functions. Only the sublime release of watching footage of the bombs dropping on Tehran will make it subside.

In the meantime, McMaverick&#039;s war-boner will be calling all the shots - sucking up to the press, mooching cash from the seemiest of fringe-kook supporters, pretending to care about all kinds of things other than &quot;military penetration&quot;.

What we need to worry about is how contagious this war boner is - will a bunch of nascar/nra/megachurch crackermen and their submissive spouses &quot;catch the bug&quot; from him, and decide &quot;what the hell, we&#039;re already in the tank, let&#039;s go for broke, and maybe Timmy and Annie wil be able to get good-paying jobs over at the ammo plant.&quot;

The &quot;american public&quot; may, yet again, gravitate toward someone they feel akin to in ignorace, which is very comforting to them. They don&#039;t want some &quot;stuck-up knowitall&quot; telling them things they don&#039;t want to hear. They want someone they feel is not very much smarter than themselves, which is not very smart at all, and McMaverick is currying sympathy from them every time he mea culpa&#039;s himself over these propagandistic war-boner statements.</description>

<p>The &#8220;american public&#8221; may, yet again, gravitate toward someone they feel akin to in ignorace, which is very comforting to them. They don&#8217;t want some &#8220;stuck-up knowitall&#8221; telling them things they don&#8217;t want to hear. They want someone they feel is not very much smarter than themselves, which is not very smart at all, and McMaverick is currying sympathy from them every time he mea culpa&#8217;s himself over these propagandistic war-boner statements.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=4367644', 400, 400)"></a></p>

Too many times, that’s troubling.

Could McCain be suffering from early stage dementia?&lt;/i&gt;

		<description>MCCAIN: &lt;em&gt;&quot;... to think that I would have some lack of knowledge about Sunni and Shia after my eigth visit and my deep involvement in this issue is a bit ludicrous.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

The obvious follow up question is &quot;And what is the difference between Sunni and Shia senator?&quot; McCains answer would be very interesting to hear.</description>

		<description>This is so familiar. Bush used exactly the same confusing rhetoric to sell the war.  He&#039;d talk about Al Qaeda one moment, then Hussein&#039;s support for terrorists the next.  The clear impression was that Hussein was sponsoring Al Qaeda.  Over time the &quot;clever&quot; wordplay was dropped and now we hear Cheney *still* mouthing the conventional wisdom [sic] that there was a connection.

This is the same thing that is happening to McCain.  He is trying to conflate the various terrorist groups, but in so doing he occasionally gets confused himself.  It&#039;s a bad idea to mix deceitful wordplay with senior moments.</description>

It&#039;s too LATE for early stage demential.  I believe he&#039;s more advanced like Reagan in his second term.</description>

		<description>Holly crap PollM.  That&#039;s a scary thought.  Imagine McCain becoming president and his inner circle trying to hide this.  Watching his decline while the fearmongers juggle for a different spin.  

This is scary.</description>
