I am going to guess that McCain mentions he was a POW tonight

[Wetzelbill]

Crazy as it sounds, I think he'll bring it up. I think many people will be surprised to actually hear him talk about it for once. How refreshing, you know?

[d_b]

1. my friends..

[Maeve]

2. No, dear...the bet is on HOW MANY times he brings it up

I've got 'ten' in the pool....

[Wetzelbill]

4. oh at least

And I bet we hear little about policy, including zero policy solutions on fixing the economy.

[Wheezy]

3. I was not aware of that. Hmmm. That *would* be refreshing. n/t

[Bobbie Jo]

5. He was a POW?

No shit?

[Symarip]

6. Wait...

Are you telling me he spent years being tortured in Vietnam?!?! And then he came back to be a foot soldier in the Reagan revolution??!?!?!!!!111eleventy!!111

Wait until American hears this.

[Wetzelbill]

11. apparently he's a self-professed maverick too, he's just too humble to talk about it.

[Symarip]

14. A trendsetter like that needs to really open up and talk about it.

Like, for an hour. Fuck policy - this is huge!!!

[Ilsa]

7. Get out your checkbooks and credit cards my friends!

Every time he says POW, Executive, maverick, or some other nonsense, make a little tick mark on a sheet of paper. Add it up at the end of the night and send Obama Biden campaign someamount ofmoney based on the tick marks, like $5 for each mark, or $1 for each mark. Something. Let's pour our disgust into something useful to counteract these idiots at the RNC.

[texanwitch]

15. I know a lot of people who plan on doing this.

Give what you can.

I am giving $1 for each of his pet words up to $100.

We could raise some serious money tonight.

[Wetzelbill]

16. I thought about taking a shot everytime he said it

But I'd probably die of alcohol poisoning.

[Ilsa]

18. LOL. Get your check written before you pass out, okay? Let us know if

someone needs to check on you!

(I think alcohol might be the only way for some of us to get through a speech from McInsane without going nuts!)

[blondeatlast]

8. Wow--you and I know it's been whispered about locally for decades; could he really let go

and tell us at last?

I won't believe it until (well since the first time he mentioned it THIS year)...

[Wetzelbill]

13. I'm surprised it hasn't gotten out of AZ yet

I thought Mark Salter was going to ghostwrite a book on it for him at some point. Or two.

[El Supremo]

9. He'd better explain what the Vietnam War was.

Because nearly half of all Americans were born after it.

[Franks Wild Years]

10. Apparently it will be a "very Presidential" address as opposed to the "nasty, divisive" speech that

Obama made last week.

[appleannie1]

12. Who would have guessed. Did he also 'serve his country'?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

17. As a previous poster has predicted - he may come on stage in a cage to deliver his speech

[Midlodemocrat]

19. Link to that? I haven't heard that before.

Thanks. :thumbsup:

[Wetzelbill]

22. Sure, here is all the info you need.

[Midlodemocrat]

23. Yeah, like I wanna be rickrolled in GD-P. How stupid do you think I am?

DO NOT ANSWER THAT.

:thumbsup:

[Wetzelbill]

27. It had to be tried

lol You are a worthy foe.

[Midlodemocrat]

28. Hell's Bells. *I* could take on Sarah Palin and win.

:rofl:

Although, I don't have a gun. :think:

[KansDem]

20. I'll bet he mentions he was a POW right after he mentions he was a POW...

...but right before he mentions he was a POW.

[Zavulon]

21. McCain was a POW? I don't think that's true.

If he actually were a POW ever in his life, wouldn't we have heard about this by now, what with this being the information age and all?

;)

[Midlodemocrat]

25. I don't know. Some POWs are so traumatized they NEVER talk about it.

Others....

[Ichingcarpenter]

26. POW!!!!!

[depakid]

24. Did John Edwards ever fail to mention he was the son of a millworker?

[Wetzelbill]

29. Well, as the son of a Montana Turd Miner, I take offense to that

Why do you elitists hate the common man?

[depakid]

30. Sarcasm

While Edwards was saying all these things, he was workin for a hedge fund.

Sadly, not the best standard bearer that you or I could imagine.

[mitchum]

31. I wouldn't be surprised if he tapped out his fucking speech in Morse code

[Wetzelbill]

32. Lol

Good one. I say they have a big cross in the sand in a mural behind him.
