Something I notice about McCain's tone is that he talks to people like

Doesn't George Bush talk to the "Amercan" people the same way?

He was anything but the "kindly old Grandfather" last night...more like the "cranky old man" next door who keeps you ball when it goes in his yard.

Very true. Every message the Republicans send seems to be patronizing, as if we're too uninformed to critically think things through ourselves. Maybe it's just that they are after those voters (those who cannot, or choose not to, read) because that's all they can get.

It's ironic that the Republicans who loathe the dumbing down that they say occurs in our public schools, use dumbing down messages in trying to promote their canidates/platform.

(((Very condescending.)))


I agree, and yet McCain does not seem to care. He can't control his own behavior or his campaign and so he won't be able to take command of the WH either. Obama is so respectful, even when McCain does not deserve it. Obama would not snort and huff and puff like a big bad wolf when speaking with leaders from hostile countries. I trust that Obama can control himself and think on his feet, which will disarm those hostile leaders - like McCain. lol.

I can envision that McCain is prone to being controlled/manipulated by Sarah Palin and wife Cindy.

Yep, the whole "Grampa Grumpy McWarhero" routine is getting more than a bit old.

And I hope he just continues to do it.
