    MCCAIN IS TeH VIETNAM VETERAN and a FORMER POW! This makes TeH McCain entitled to TeH presidency!
    Sounds like a far better entitlement justification than, say, being black.

      Are you suggesting that all of Obama's accomplishments are from being Black? Or even a significant portion? Or even any?

        Depends on where you're coming from. Look at the Rev. Wright controversy.

          No, obviously.

          I was making fun of those like Kid who do think that, and Mr. Fun who pretends McCain is hanging his hat on his POW time.

          In other words, neither are entitled to anything.

            It just occured to me that if McCain were elected, it would be the 3rd consecutive Republican President trained as a fighter pilot. And the 2nd in 3 to actually have the balls to use his training!

              Don't roll your eyes at us. That's exactly what you were doing.

              What you just said is being a vet/POW is a "far better entitlement justification" than being black, implying that it IS AN ENTITLEMENT JUSTIFICATION.

              Now if you want to retract this patently ridiculous statement, you can, but don't roll your eyes and pretend you didn't say what you said.

              I'll call you on your **** each and every time. Count on it.

                  I only ask because it seems like the focus is on someone who won't really matter, under normal circumstances.
                  Right, but I was under the impression that a president's main job was to take decisions, to make choices about policies, but also about people.
                  The very first choice of a proto-president (a candidate,if you prefer) is to chose a VP.
                  The quality of this first decision may be an indication of the competence of the president in chosing his councellers, or the people he wants to give responsabilities to.
                  Did McCain put the right person at the right place is certainly a valid question to ask.
                  Having questions about what kind of moral authorities Palin has chosen to listen to, looks very reasonable to me.

                  Who are the people McCain will put in charge? What are the their moral, spiritual, philosophical influences, certainly is relevant.
                  McCain cannot be blamed for the pastor's ideas, he can certainly be questionned for putting in charge people who seems to have no problem with, to listen to such ideas.

                    You have to look at the overall picture.
                    McCain had to pick someone to satisfy the right.
                    He needed to pick an outsider so he could pretend another maverick type.
                    But most importantly, you pick a vp candidate that will help you get some votes.

                    Palin is going to get him some votes that he wouldn't have gotten.
                    Is Biden going to get Obama votes he wouldn't have gotten? Biden has been a non factor since he was nominated. Probably not a lot of votes, so it can be argued who really made the better choice here.
                    It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

                      No, it was obvious sarcasm. NOBODY is entitled to the presidency. However, if we are going to contrast people who believe either candidate is entitled to the presidency, it is hilarious to see those types of Obama supporters critisize those types of McCain supporters.

                      I'll call you on your **** each and every time. Count on it.
                      And you look foolish every time, and we do count on that

                      McCain, Dubbaya, and the guy from Independence Day?
                      He means just counting the Republican presidents, which would mean Bush I who was a WWII fighter pilot.

                      Biden has been a non factor since he was nominated. Probably not a lot of votes, so it can be argued who really made the better choice here.
                      Obama needed a regent.

                        Or what, they'd vote Obama?

                                Are you seriously telling me the religious right would abstain from voting for McCain, which is really a vote for Obama?

                                They're dumber than I first though. Which is saying something...
