McCain (aka John the Loser): Obama's not a Socialist

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

McCain concedes Obama no socialist

From his interview to air tonight on Larry King Live.

Larry has a way of coaxing it out, doesn't he?

KING: You don't believe Barack Obama is a socialist do you?

MCCAIN: "No, but i do believe that he has been in the far left of American politics and stated time after time that he believes in spreading the wealth around. He has talked about courts that redistribute the wealth. He has a record of voting against tax cuts. And for tax increases."

1. McCain has been monumentally bad at staying on message.

Not to mention that the message has changed too many times to count. But John, when you decide to go in a certain direction try staying on that path. First he's a socialist, then he's not. Good lord.

2. What a freaking idiot. "EVEN MCCAIN SAYS OBAMA IS NOT A SOCIALIST."

He cannot even stick to his own plan. He did this before when he admonished his own rally that they needn't fear an Obama presidency. It harmed him to do so, as this will. "EVEN MCCAIN SAYS OBAMA IS NOT A SOCIALIST."

3. Damn...that guy is erratic.

4. That's because he is warring with his "advisors" and his conscience IMHO nt

9. Or just doesn't want to appear too ridiculous (Too late for that, though)

[Dervill Crow]

5. Every once in a while he reminds me why I used to like the guy.

Even so, at this late date his nice words don't butter my parsnips, or however that expression goes.

6. In the South, it's "nice words don't butter my buscuits."

:hi:

7. Flippity floppity. Flippity floppity.

McCain doesn't have the 'nads to own up to his campaign's smears.

8. Even McCain hasn't a clue about the 'redistribute' comment

Obama was talking about schools. He was saying it was a shame that the communities didn't work more on the local levels and felt they needed to go to the courts to get the money for poor schools.

It had to do with money for rich schools and money for poor schools. Listen to the whole thing instead of your carefully produced and clipped sound bite

Listen to the full thing yourselves.
