No follow up from Wolf? WTF?!!!

So what is McCain's goal at this point?

Between this call the veto every spending bill and his promise to act as an bulwark against a Democratic congress it seems McCain wants to be the Obstructionist and Chief.

He's now saying his goal as President is to keep anything from happening. That's a nice clear message.

I have no idea what McCain's talking about

Neither does McCain. Straight talk has given way to babbling incoherence.

Every day we learn more about why McCain and Palin don't want to talk about themselves, the issues, or how they would govern. Quick! Look! There's a monster under the bed.

The man has entered the Twilight Zone.

So.....
John McCain was FOR John McCain BEFORE he was against John McCain?
Or, is it..
John McCain was AGAINST John McCain BEFORE he was for John McCain.
I'm confused...

I'll bet the Maverickster butters both sides of his toast, too.

He's just phoning it in now. He knows it pretty much doesn't matter what he says, and Wolf knows it too.

One can only hope that this flaccid despair infects the people who might otherwise be motivated to drag themselves out to cast their pointless votes for him.

Attention McCain supporters: just stay home where it's warm and comfy. Your candidate can't even be bothered to show up for his own "victory party" -- why should you be bothered to got vote for him.

It just doesn't matter. It's over.

Blitzer didn't press the issue

Big surprise. I'd say Wolf is in the tank for McCain, but my over a decade of watching him suggests that it's merely that he has the journalistic instincts of a tree sloth. He could have easily had the number one YouTube clip of the week if he'd pressed McCain to explain why he voted for bills he thinks should have been vetoed.

I'd say Wolf has gotten fat and lazy and doesn't need to build up his rep any more, but the man was always a lightweight. He got the name recognition by repeating Pentagon talking points from DC during the first Gulf War and has coasted on that for the last 15 years.

McCain is really reminding me of Tom Smykowski at this point.

I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?

"the spending bills were bad (1), Bush should have vetoed them(2), so McCain voted for them(3)."

See, here is where you've made your mistake. Republicans rarely if ever think two steps ahead, and never in a trillion sunrises will they think three steps ahead.

His point is they are bad! McCain will gladly let historians debate his record, but the spending bills are bad. (period)

Come on, what kind of follow-up could Wolf possibly have come up with after that? "Are you crazy?"

Wolf Blizter in nothing more than a corporate nazi .. who is pulling big time for McEvil ... the guy is a total fucking farce .. and his DEPENDS are always gettin' so filled up because he knows that his pal McEvil is going to loose .. that's why his feet are always shuffling... gotta change those depends ..

I just realized that I've hardly heard anything Barack Obama has said during this long campaign. My decision in this election is based almost entirely on what McCain (and lately Palin) have been saying. "I would have vetoed literally every spending bill, even those that I had voted for," as a case in point. Surely, a Muslim Communist would have to make more sense.

As a Senator, McCain has to consider his constituents. As President, he can veto whatever he wants just for the hell of it. He'll veto spending bills just out of pure spite.

Leave John McCain alooooooooone.

"Chusid noted, "This is even more ridiculous than John Kerry's quote on voting for an appropriation before he voted against it. In Kerry's case he was talking about two different bills....""

So, in other words Kerry's votes were not ridiculous at all. Why reinforce the false right wing talking point before stating the reality?

Although McCain doesn't appear to have said this, maybe you can make sense of his position like this:

If the President McCain vetoes every bill containing pork, Congress will stop putting pork in the bills because they'll know they'll get vetoed.

Obviously this isn't true for Senator McCain, since he doesn't have the power to veto bills. In that position, he may as well just make a judgement on whether they're good or bad on balance, so he votes for some bills despite the pork.
