McCain flip-flopping

[Getback]

When exactly did it become admirable for a person to doggedly stick to a position that was proven wrong? I'd rather have a President with the balls to change his mind than an idiot who doesn't have one to change.

 

At least one who learns from his mistakes or others.

For the person who wanted the stats.

China actually ranks #1 hmmm. Still though compare the western countries. However, US doesn't really have bragging rights. They are however better.


Another thing, and I'm no doctor, it seems diet must play a role and probably weight.

[BTW]

So if his adviser had no interest in Georgia, he'd have said "God speed Russia" ?
What is the nature of the interests? I really think it would be good for the United States to have western businesses invested in former Soviet countries. Do the businesses have to do with infrastructure?

McCain's strong condemnation in recent days of Russia's military action against Georgia as "totally, absolutely unacceptable" reflects long-standing ties between McCain and hardline conservatives such as Scheunemann, an aide in the 1990s to then-Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott.

Maybe it reflects respect for a democratically elected government and a countries sovereignty?

It does; But, the sad thing is...I think that the Moral/general attitude fallout of the Gulf wars' will make a lot of Americans' shy away from any other conflicts. I hate to say it, but I don't see any popular votes' to do more in Georgia than what we've done already. We may have let the Georgians' out to dry on this one (I hope I'm wrong, but...It kinda looks' that way...)

And this is with the race a dead heat. I guess its going to get real nasty when Obamassiah goes down by 10.

 

I doubt this race is a dead heat.  Considering most of the people I know and work with (25 to 40) do not have landline phones anymore, and hence DO NOT get polled, I truly feel these polls are way under-representing the numbers.  Most political think tanks also believe this, although there are differing views to the extent.  Whether or not it is either direction, for either candidate, who knows.  The polls really don't mean squat in this election.

wow... most of the people you know are total liberal weeeenies?

Who would have guessed?   It hardly shows.

Polls have never meant anything. You can make any poll say whatever you want. There are people who's job it is to do precisely that. It's just another form of junk science. You're not buying the truth, you're buying the answer you want to see.

If you are directing that at me, reread the post.  I said:

So, lazs, yet again you are wrong and quick to judge something you misunderstood.  At no point did I indicate preference for either, you buffoon.

Unless you tried the shoe on and found a comfy fit, how can you assume he was directing his comment towards you?

Hmmm.... perhaps you might re-read as well... look at my post, then his. The part where I say...

Then Lazs says....

wow... most of the people you know are total liberal weeeenies?

Apparently, from that, ownership of only cell phones and not a landline phone, makes someone a "liberal weenie".

That sir, is how I figure he was talking about me.  Inconsequential of any shoe fittings.  Did you attend the same clown college Lazs did?  Majoring in Pigeonholing Assumption?

As for my political stance, I am centrist.  (Which means I live in the real world, unlike half of either side.)

[john9001]

i have never been polled, ever. I must not be on their hot list.

That would probably be political seppaku for him.
