Maybe he feels like he is still in prison, in his mind.
Or maybe he is just so used to referring to himself as a prisoner he thinks of all people that way.
Or he sees America as a prison now and wants us to feel at home. -

The sentiment is a good comparison. Whether you call us slaves or prisoners it equates to the same. I have used the same terminology in efforts to alert people to the devastating affects the Scam Bailout. It fact these are the common references: My fellow (Slaves)(Prisoners)(Sheep)(Workhorses)(Beast of Burden):Get the picture? The sellout by congress leaves us all in those categories. With the unchallenged assault on our Constitution and freedoms it is a fair analogy.

There is not anything funny about the lying gop terror operative Mccain.He is not suppose to be out of jail. With his record he should be locked up for ever along with his supporters.Mccain helped make this economic crisis and the millitary crisis .He has no intention of helping change things for the better,after all this is exactly what the republicans were intending right from the start.

My fellow (Slaves)(Prisoners)(Sheep)(Workhorses)(Beast of Burden):Get the picture? If you think that then where does that leave you? All of your congress must have Alzheimers, they forgot the oath of office when they voted against the American people and the Constitution with the Scam Bailout. Perhaps you should pay attention to what is happening to this country. Poor old Ben Franklin must be rolling in his grave. Do you have an idea how old he was when he quit trying to help this country?

No no. ALL Repugs since McCain's "Our wonderful Ronald Reagan" have promised to balance the federal budget through tax cuts (stimulate growth) and eliminating waste and pork.

The record so far?
Ronald Reagan, R -- 2 terms -- doubled the national debt and took America from the world's largest lender nation to the world's largest debtor nation.
George H.W. Bush, R -- 1 term -- On track to double the debt again, but couldn't win a second term.
Bill Clinton, D -- 2 terms -- Actually turned the debt curve back down and left office with the nation's largest budget surplus in history.
George W. Bush, R -- 2 terms almost done -- Doubled the national debt. On track to leave office with 11 trillion in debt and a new record $600 billion budget deficit. http://zfacts.com/p/318.html
McCain's programs will add up to another doubling of the debt to over $20 trillion and his health care plan will completely bankrupt the middle class by taxing health care benefits (typically $12,000), pushing at least 20 million more Americans into the ranks of the uninsured. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/16/opinion/16herber...
But some Americans are EXCEEDINGLY slow learners. No matter how many times the tax-cut and efficiency song turns out to be an obvious lie, there is a core group that will believe it every time it's sung.

Thanks, Neo. I noticed McNasty referred to "Frannie and Freddie" again during last night's debate. I've also heard him talk about "Frannie Mac and Freddie Mae". Watching this broken down old war horse shuffle and stumble around the stage is starting to look really pathetic. Today, along with Caribou Barbie, he's got Cindy slingin' mud for him on the campaign trail. No wonder people are beginning to think the GOP stands for Grandpa's Old Propaganda.

Some of us are moderates who wish for a return to a government that prohibits Fascism and cronyism.
McCain wants to bail out the home buyers who bought at the apex of the housing pyramid. Why should we who saw the foolishness of the market help those who were greedy and and helped fuel the downturn.
Nah !!!!!! Let them lose their homes, They will be wiser next time.
I have compassion for those who are losing their homes don't get me wrong. But why should I and others like me have to bail them out.
When my wife got sick I had to sell our home. I don't remember anybody bailing us out.
Try this, let the market fall and settle. Yeah it is going to hurt like hell. But not as much as if we keep putting a band aid on the scab, then ripping it off and opening up the sore again and having to wait for it to scab up again.

Some would argue that he was flashing back to his Vietnam days. I say he is having a bit of insight to his future. Maybe he foresees prison orange in his near future. Perhaps he is embroiled in a scandal that has yet to come unraveled. Stay tuned and see what other blunders he makes as he blusters his way through this joke of a campaign.

I think McCain is telling the truth. Law of universal gravitation( In our universe, every mass is attracted to each other) would show you that each person is attracted to Bin Laden. As we are all palling with such terrible terrorist, we should all be in prison either of fear or of Palin's administration.

Palin is a "Post Turtle":
Reply
'You come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle.'
'You know she didn't get up there by herself,
She doesn't belong up there,
She doesn't know what to do while she is up there,
You just wonder what kind of dumb ass put her up there to begin with."
John McCain performed like a "Maverick":
Old and worn out,
Designed for the late 60's,
Popular with old, white people,
Bad on oil,
Poor on economy,
Outdated,
Rusty,
In need of constant repair,
Stuck by the side of the (information) superhighway,
Ready to be crushed!! -
