McCain's 'Idol' Comments Should Focus Dems On Him

[Me.]

This guy is getting a pass from both the media and the dems. His American Idol comment was essentially 'American Idol is just like a campaign where people want your votes, except if you're in Florida and Michigan'.

First of all that snarky comment was out of place considering it was a charity situation. Secondly this guy feels he in invulnerable and no one is giving him a reason to think otherwise. He is where our focus should be, now and after the primaries.

1. Damn is that what he said?

Talk about not being in the spirit of things.

2. McCain is the one we should be focusing on.

Especially his statement that our troops in Iraq
may "be there for a hundred years".

This only serves Halliburton and the war profiteers.

3. How many American Idol viewers actually got that "joke"?

The man has a tin-ear.

5. Why would he want to bring that up?

6. Because He's A Nasty, Snarky Man

who thinks he's too clever for words and while he can't tell the difference between Sunnis and Shiites, thinks he can point his finger at others.

7. No... I mean why? It's not an issue for the Republican party. Who does this help?

Who is it intended to hurt?

:think:

[Me.]

8. I Believe It Was A Poke In The Eye Directed At The Dems' Michigan/Florida Situation

Inappropriate given the setting

[Me.]

9. Here's The Video

I got it sort of backwards, what he says is, "Where Florida and Michigan's votes will actually count"
