McCain's bizarre actions over the past several days include his debate performance
Edited on Sat Sep-27-08 01:36 PM by ProSense
John McCain announces that he's suspending his campaign because of the financial crisis, and then:
  • Cancels an appearance on David Letterman.
  • Gets made-up for and does an interview with Katie Couric.
  • Reiterates his no deal, no debate posturing.
  • Delivers a political speech the next day.
  • Continues running ads while his surrogates appear on TV attacking Obama.
  • Gets Bush to call a meeting at the White House.
  • Goes to the meeting and ruins the negotiations.
  • Issues a BS statement reversing his stance on the debate (as if the world didn't notice that his moronic moves were bizarre).
  • Prepares and releases an ad claiming to have won the debate before the event happens.
  • Shows up at the debate gets irritable when challenged and lies about his positions and experiences.

6. Some of the comments on You Tube are trying to spin this
They try to make out that he was saying "of course it is..." but there aren't enough syllables in what he said for that to be true.

3. People within his campaign do not communicate with each
other - it's as if six people each pull an idea out of their ass and mcCain follows through on all of them - at the same time. It's a pathetic campaign with pathetic candidates.

5. I thought his actions were bazarre during the debates when
McCain wouldn't look at Obama. That was creepy. Was it intentional? If it was, what message was he trying to send? I thought McCain looked nuts. He was trying to debate someone and ignore them at the same time. I've been taught to not trust people who can't look you in the eye. Though my own experiences, I've learned never to trust strangers who keep calling you their friend. They want something from you.

As far as McCain goes, somewhere in there is a bogeyman locked in a closet waiting to bust loose.
