OMG You should have heard the groan from the crowd here where I am

[proud2BlibKansan]

when McPow just mentioned prison.

[POAS]

1. Where are you?

edited to add

I'm here alons and the grown was pretty loud here too.

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. A watch party at a restaurant

[MichiganVote]

2. WHy is it I feel like a teenager being lectured by my parents whenever this comes up

[1Hippiechick]

15. It's because of that POOR ME, ADMONISHING TONE that McInsane uses whenever ANYone

criticizes him!

Look at the context of what is being said when he drags that damn fairy tale out! He is being CRITICIZED about something--anything--and his voice drops, he becomes somber, and reminds anyone who will listen that "I have endured blah, blah, blah, and I DESERVE better than this."

Puke! Puke! Puke! It's blatant manipulation! Fuck him!

:puke:on McCain :puke:on McCain :puke:on McCain

[krkaufman]

3. I *saw* that groan ...

... registered on the CNN audience tracker. It took a dip when McCain went down that path.

[TooRaLoo]

5. HUGE grown as well from the watch party I was at.

85+ people!

[TheCML]

6. Never thought I would see the day

When someone would over milk being a war hero, its a damn shame. I always disagreed with McCain on most issues, but I would never think he could make me lose this much respect for him.

[calimary]

9. Welcome to DU!

Yeah. He's actually cheapened the whole P.O.W. experience by overdoing it SO egregiously. By the time he's through, America will collectively shout "ENOUGH ALREADY!!!"

[MagickMuffin]

20. Your post calls for my new graphic

I made this for a video project I worked on about the Obama Waffles by the Racist at Focus on the Family conference.

[Matariki]

7. Yep. Same where I was.

I'm just surprised he didn't use it more.

[rucky]

8. Same here.

It was hilarious.

[blondeatlast]

10. !5 people in my family room did the same; it woke my poor cockatiel up nt.

[1Hippiechick]

14. LOL. My, "Oh, my God. Here we GO!" brought the dogs running."Go" means something different to them

[blondeatlast]

22. Uh, oh! Hope "everything came out all right," as mom used to say... LOL! nt

[dkf]

11. I started laughing myself.

[Raine]

12. There was two of us here

we both groaned. x(

[Adtrain3]

13. Groaned Also

I was watching the debate with a bunch of my friends and fellow classmates at the Student Center, and many of them groaned when we heard that line.

[proud2BlibKansan]

25. Welcome to DU

:hi:

[calimary]

26. Welcome to DU!

My eyeballs rolled back into my head. For most of the debate, I must admit, I was wondering how long it'd be before he tried to work that in. He has to. When you boil everything down to the very basics, that is all he's got.

[lamp_shade]

16. He saved it for last thinking he'd get rousing applause. He got groans instead. n/t

[mitchum]

17. He wants the White House to be The Tomb of The Well Known Soldier

[Schulzz]

18. My friends, I may have lost the debate, but did mention that I couldn't practice when I was a POW?

:boring:

[Justice]

19. we had an office pool as to when he would say it first, no one

thought he could wait that long.

[MagickMuffin]

21. The watch party I attended everyone laughed

There were over 350 people who attended. I'll write a post later today. Right now I need some rest, been up since yesterday and need me some rest.

But it was an exciting night.

:hi:

[seabeyond]

23. groan thru out the nation.... yup. i did in my house. n/t

[Kaylee]

24. There was also a collective groan on the DU chat last night....

All at once about 15 people typed "POW". He has overused this to the point it only creates a negative response.
