yea..before that comment today! Let's see how they endorse him now after changing his position... AGAIN!
Footage of McCain making the exact same comment regarding Hillary's healthcare plan http://www.slate.com/blogs/blogs/trailhead/ quote for those too lazy to watch: ""I don't like to use this term," McCain told the audience at a May town hall event in Denver, "but the latest proposal I see is putting lipstick on a pig."" /thread though really this thread sucked so bad that it bent space time and it is now Tuesday morning again. I wonder how the stock market will do today - maybe I should by some LEH.
Have any comments about McCain's patently false ad? Dude, you're losing it. I don't say that because you take an opposite position than me. I couldn't care less about that. I say it because you're attacking things that you have to know are just wrong. Do you honestly believe, after reading the context and knowing that he's used it in the past, that he was talking about Palin? That's just intellectually dishonest if you say yes. I'd honestly like to see what you have to say about the McCain ad.
I don't care about McCain. Really I don't. I don't agree with his Healthcare position. I don't like McCain. His ADs..what do you expect? He got Karl Rove's attack dogs in action. It is what it is.
Except that Hillary didn't use a lipstick comment when McCain said it. The timing of Obama's comments along with the timing of Palin's Pitbull with lipstick comment is just beautiful. People knew EXACTLY what he was referring to when he paused ...before he finished his sentence.
Obama has used the expression before. Last September, around the time McCain said it about Clinton's health care plan. "I think that both Gen. Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker are capable people who have been given an impossible assignment," Obama said in a telephone interview. "George Bush has given a mission to Gen. Petraeus, and he has done his best to try to figure out how to put lipstick on a pig."
So what is it that you want out of all of this? If you're a staunch Hillary supporter as you seem to be, is McCain really the better option?
ROCKET RICH NYC please stop. CERN called and said that your thread's tremendous suckiness just obliterated the world's first evidence of the Higgs boson.
McCain took the bait, and Obama reeled him right on in. If they can keep this up, the old b*stard will surely blow his top! This is great TV!
Sometimes i wonder why this complete nonsense gets so much attention on the BBS, etc.. and I go to drudge and what do I see... lipstick story headlines... jeez
So now idioms are no longer kosher? this is PC gone wild. who would ever have thought the republicans would become the PC police. This is just getting so stupid. I'm tired of how everythign OBama says is being spun into some sort of low-grade attack by the republicans. First Republicans accuse Obama of playing the victim card and make an attack about that. Now republicans are playing the victim card if Obama as so much says anything.
Republicans are so adept at reading and making code that they know an offensive slight when they see one....
Except that the crowd that listened to him today...as well as Americans...knew what that lipstick comment was referring to. The crowd was laughing before he even finished his lipstick analogy. However, the timing of this comment makes it a dig at McCain and Palin. You all may not think so, but you'll see. Women are going to say this is yet another ATTACK on them. Not a good analogy or choice of words by Obama. It's going to bite him or in this case...Kiss him in the ass!
Then quit f*ing posting and smearing poop all over this BBS. Go play with your Ralph Nader and Ross Perot dolls, and quit creating tabloid-worthy, content-bereft, nation-harming, IQ-dropping, polyp-imitating threads. I don't care if some yahoo says Palin had an affair. I don't care that you (and Hannity, or Moore) lack the brain cells to understand an analogy. You just can't put lipstick on a pig -- ROCKET RICH NYC has sunk to record-breaking lows. He is putting lipstick on the pig's anus.
An analogy requires four elements: A is to B as C is to D. Obama's comment only contains two: Pig and Lipstick. Nevertheless, he is just trying to be funny (emphasis trying) using her own language
This comment is about a policy not a person. Wasn't Obama referencing Palin in his pig remark? Let's have a little sense of humor, America; it will get us through these trying times...
