Pro-McCain co-worker said he is proud of McCain's performance last night.
::sigh::

Based his opinion on the fact that he thought Obama stuttered and also feels that Obama disobeyed the debate rules. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But this is a reminder of why I don't talk about politics at work.

I asked him "why is the McCain campaign spouting the words CHANGE when they were in Bush's back pocket for the past 8 years?". His response "McCain wants to find his own niche and carve out his own path."

And BTW, this is a black man who finds every little reason to put other black people around him down. I swear these people make me more sick than the KKK.

5. Don't be so sure about that. He left awfully fast once it was over...

He might have needed to change his shorts or empty his colostomy bag.

I did wonder about that. Is it possible he had some sort of health issue he didn't want to advertise?

3. How did he think Obama was breaking the debate rules? McCain seemed worse...

McCain was the one going overtime. Each time he did, Obama followed suit. Brokaw happened to mention the time issue after Obama spoke, but Obama pointed out that he was only trying to get equal airtime, given that McCain had talked well past the red light.

Another rule Brokaw never enforced was that both candidates agreed to stay within a few feet of their chairs. McCain broke that rule right away and once again Obama followed suit so as not to be at a disadvantage. Even so, McCain was the one shaking hands and patting an audience member on the back, while Obama just approached in order to speak to the questioner more directly.

4. As well he should be! Grandpa's adult diaper never sprung a leak,
he got all the creamed spinach from the Denny's "Senior Special" out of his teeth, and the feeble old fucker managed to not die on stage. It was a home run!

11. Actually this guy doesn't have a pot to piss in...
I started noticing before he told that he was voting for McCain that he loves to put black people down. I came back in his face with facts and instead of giving facts, he wants to put down my blackness - this guy needs to look in the mirror because McCain doesn't give a damn about him.

I am a pay grade higher than he is and he can't stand it. Five minutes ago he told me he finally (finally) found another McCain supporter, a woman who couldn't tell me why she chose Obama other than the fact that he is a black man. This woman happens to be an immigrant to this country herself.

I know these people have the right to vote for whomever they choose, but right now they make me fucking sick.

I told them if its not work related don't talk to me.

17. Did you tell him about the "black baby" smear Rove hit McCain with in 2000?
And how McCain did nothing in response?

12. McCain "wants to find his own niche?" He's had 26 years to blaze his own
trail...what's he waiting for? :eyes: Some people are beyond help.

13. I can't wait to see this mofo's face on November 5.
He grew up in the projects and said he had two pictures on the wall: Jesus and Richard Nixon.

Growing up poor but worshipped Richard Nixon, dumb as hell.

14. "Worker" is to "Pro-McCain" as "Chicken" is to "Pro-Harland Sanders".
TOO many McClown/Stupid signs in working class neighborhoods around me. UNbelievable. Did 8 years of Assface teach these people NOTHING?

What's the saying that our two-term Failure Fuhrer couldn't even get right? "Fool me once, shame on you, Fool me twice, shame on me"?

There are a few choice words for those who are fooled a third time.

18. I watched The View today (don't ask me why)
And shill Elizabeth was first parroting the line "That wasn't even a real town hall..that was weird. Why did the moderator get to ask questions?" Yes, just parroting the EMAIL that the RNC sent out last night, to try and make up for the fact that McCain failed in his supposed "strong spot", the town hall. The freak then made a dig "I sure hope that Obama does not drive like he debates, because he kept ignoring the red flashing light!" And then she said that McCain's "new proposal" for moragages shows that he is a LEADER! MEMO to Elizabeth: It is not a new idea, nor one that is popular with Republicans. Dana Bash, who covers the McCain campaign, even said earlier that she had no idea what they were talking about, since it is not a new idea and she did not know if he is referring to something separate than the existing bailout. And she tried to prod Whoopi "Hey, maybe McCain is your MAN, huh? He had this new great idea about helping people with their morgages!" Whoopi just gave her a blank stare, but said that she found the debate boring. God, it really sucks that Elizabeth is able to spout her propaganda and there is no informed Democrat on the panel to dispute it (I mean, not that Eilzabeth is a very credible person to take info from, but I'm sure some viewers believe the parroted garbage that comes out of her mouth).

19. I have one of THOSE co-workers
A dear old white woman, but I swear I want to strangle her every election season, most especially this one. She is deathly afraid of any kind of change, and even more afraid of black people. "You know if Obama is elected Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan will be running the White House." Seems to believe Barack will be too preoccupied dancing around the Oval office to "that hip-hop music" to run the country. I wish this was a joke. It's just......unbelievable. Fortunately I live in California so her vote won't matter.

20. Yeah I want to strangle him.
I have him on ignore. And if he says one more thing to me I don't know whether or not to go off or just go to Human Resources.
