yeah, our selection does suck worse than normal this go round... gotta pick the lesser of two evils. Not voting "for" anyone, but voting against the other. God I hate politics! They are corrupt around the world!

Hey JCL

This was even published in the Boston Globe in 2000.

McCain gets emotional at the mention of military families needing food stamps or veterans lacking health care. The outrage comes from inside: McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes. Friends marvel at McCain's encyclopedic knowledge of sports. He's an avid fan - Ted Williams is his hero - but he can't raise his arm above his shoulder to throw a baseball.

Pretty easy to tell by watching McCain walk, reach and how he holds his hands that he has some serious physical limitations as a result of his 5 years in that Prisoner of War Camp.

Still want to defend the Obama ad? I thought he was telling everyone he was different kind of politician.

Quick and JCL.

Of course Obama did not "intentionally" make fun of McCain's disability in an "attack" political ad he approved. Fact is if they did some research they would have found out that he is unable to use a computer keyboard due to his war injuries. It was a dumb ad and a dumb move on his part and that was my point.

Sure McCain makes fun of his own computer illiteracy; however, in 2000 it was made clear in Slate and the Boston Globe the reasons why he does not use a computer and is therefore computer illiterate.

Obama making fun of that fact whether or not intentional is making fun of his disability. Then you JCL come back with a hit on me that I'm supporting someone disabled which basically you saying someone disabled should not hold office.

Your intent is pretty clear.

Point out the information where Obama said that he was computer illiterate
due to his disability because of torture in a prisoner of war camp.

You know what, does it really matter who runs the country these days!! A bunch of empty promises and lies. Everyone is out for their own interest these days. I don't see any difference in the country whether we had a Republican or Democrat for a President or whether the majority of Congress was Democrat or Republican. The Democrats promised they would change things taking over Congress...did they? The Republicans promised change 8 years ago, did they? The country had economic downturn whether it was a Democrat in charge (Carter) or Republican (G.W. Bush). Now, each side are calling each side a liar over trivial things....I want to hear what each person's real plan in fixing our problems. Politics these days are just nasty and we are becoming like Rome right before the Roman Empire fell...
