“When you’ve lived in a box”? He was homeless?
Let the political games begin!
“McCain votes against vets” was a sign just shown on the KUED feed. I bet he got kicked out shortly after!
“I’m grateful to the President of the United States for preventing the worst attack in our history” He couldn’t say Bush?
They’re showing the votes against vets guy over and over.
“41st president” Can’t even say “Bush, Sr.”?
Awww, isn’t that sweet. Cindy is his inspiration. (That’s how he gets it up)
“We’re all men”? Except us women….
“A word to Sen Obama and his supporters. We’ll go at it over the next two months, and there are big differences. But you have my respect and admiration, despite our difference, there is more that unites us than divides us. And that’s an association that means more to me than any other.”
McCain, are you pulling another flip-flop, with the Unity message?
“Americans want us to stop yelling at each other. Okay!” Is that a promise?
What’s with the USA chanting every time McCain opens his mouth? They don’t want to hear him?
Palin is his partner? Did he get permission from Cindy?
“She has executive experience”? Yeah, running that poor town of Wasila into the ground.
“She doesn’t let anyone tell her to sit down”…and the camera cuts away to her sitting. Haha!
He “doesn’t work for special interests”? No, he owns them.
This bar is making a lot of money off of KUED showing every minority (all 38 of them) in the crowd repeatedly.
He works for people like me? I want to fire him, then…
He’s fought lobbyists who stole from Indian tribes? What a cowboy!
“I’d rather lose an election than see my country lose a war” Riiighhhht, you mean you’d just rather see your country fight a way, any war.
“It matters less that you can fight. What you fight for is the real test.” So, he can say it and still not understand it?”
What’s this mentioning random people? Is this his version of Obama’s bringing people to Denver and putting them on stage, by drawing the names of random donors?
“We lost the trust of the American people” due to corruption. So go home already!!
“We valued the power over the trust of the people” Yep, and still do.
This speech is seriously the equivalent of an abusive boyfriend promising he’s changed and won’t do it again.
Ugh, believe in the rule of law my ass. As long as we continue to let them make them up as they go.
His party will open the market to new goods and services? How about the new energy goods and services that your party wants to stifle in favor of oil?
Dax is right…Colbert needs to have another bluescreen contest.
He won’t let jobs go overseas? They don’t get technology well enough to do jack shit about it. If they did, technology groups would not overwhelmingly favor Obama.
He will bring back old jobs? Idiot, you can’t bring back the old ones, you have to make new ones, using new technology and leading ideas, moving forward to the future. And right now the best way to do that is green technology.
I think McCain’s up there advocating vouchers. Wonder if Utah voters get that. Note to self, put it on YouTube.
Guy yawning in the audience. Guess he’s heard it all.
There are about 45 people in this room and about half are yelling at the tv now. Especially over the drilling thing.
“In America, we change things that need to be changed.” Yeah, kick the bums out!
“I’ve been an imperfect servant of our country for several years”? Ummm, yeah but you were perfect before that.
OMG, McCain was a POW? This one’s been like 5 minutes coming. I think he should be proud that he got this far into his speech without bringing it up.
Oh, these liberals drinking are tired of hearing McCain, and are muting it, in favor of the band. Gotta love closed captioning.
Ok, that’s not happening. Oh, well. It’s been fun. Thanks for reading. Live blogging over.
Note: I’m live tape delay blogging this from the Drinking Liberally party at Saints and Sinners, so don’t forget to refresh, and feel free to leave comments!
