"The McCain of 2000 would not vote for the McCain of 2008."

[Lisa0825]

That was a quote from Peter Fenn on MSNBC Live, and then he rattled off the list of flip-flops. That quote sounds like a great idea for a video to me! :rofl:

I googled it and got 5 hits from different sources. I like this meme! I know a lot of people who liked him in 2000, and some still think he's the same guy, but he isn't, not by a long shot.

1. yup. I've heard that used by several people, including

the Communications person for the DNC and Howard Dean. It's true. McCain is a McSellout.

2. K&R ! I like that tag line too ! Very clear.

[Pirate Smile]

3. That needs to become a major Democratic talking point.

[Lisa0825]

5. I agree. It needs to be stated by every spokesperosn that hits the Sunday news shows.

I think it would make a great google bomb too!

6. Great, thanks!

I missed that clip!

[Lisa0825]

7. w00t! The Google results got us already!

8. Even if you're healthy, how old is too freegin old to run for the presidency???

[nomorenomore08]

9. And healthy he ain't! Skin cancer, lingering physical problems from his captivity, etc.

10. I think that is a serious issue...

As much as some people want to call it age discrimination or ageism, I think it is a valid concern. He's not that far from the average lifespan for a man right now, plus, he's had multiple melanomas, and has had some problems with memory. For an accountant, that may not be such a big deal, but these things are issues when you are talking about the highest office in the country.

12. the 'average' lifespan for a man

includes male infants who die as well as males who die young via murder and suicide. The average life expectancy of a male his age is over a decade. There are plenty of valid reasons to dislike McCain, this isn't one.

[Lisa0825]

13. point taken, thanks.

Everything I have read said about 74.5, but I hadn't thought about those factors being included in the calculation.

[dsc]

15. It is a common error which is used to help spread lies about social security

the same problem exists with comparing life expectancy when SS was created with today.

[Forkboy]

11. And I wouldn't vote for either of them.

:puke:

14. How about the McCain of 1990?

16. We have to destroy his "maverick" image the press loves to talk about.

Comparing the "maverick" McCain of 2000 to the fascist neocon McCain of 2008 is a good idea.

[cbc5g]

17. That needs to be said by every Democrat at every opportunity to counter McBush

Obama has already used it..and he'll use it again :)

[Lisa0825]

18. I think this meme may have legs!

I am cross-posting it to some other forums. I hope others will too.

[FrenchieCat]

19. Thanks. I think that I will start using it.

"The McCain of 2000 would not vote for the McCain of 2008."


Rolls right off the tongue!

This needs to be turned into a google bomb! LOL!

[Lisa0825]

20. That's what I said!

I have already linked the phrase to his name in this thread and another board. I think I will add it to my sigline too!
