McCain going crazy over lipstick pig!

Obama says something about putting lipstick on a pig and McCain immediately calls the Obama campaign desperate in calling Palin a pig. Doesn't that make him desperate since he is heavily attacking this statement which means almost nothing? It's how people take it, and McCain has is obviously trying to focus more on the small bad things Obama does than the big issues at hand.

Too bad the American public can't realize this, because McCain knows that making big news about this will get to voters, not his criticisms of Obama's Healthcare program(you obviously won't see this on CNN consistently. All I see on news networks today is lipstick pig!). What do you guys think?

Its funny because Mccain used the exact same line when talking about Hilary once.tman93

and there wasnt any outrage as it is now...

True... and Obama wasn't even referring to her in the first place.

No he said "you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig". And he was talking about Palin, So technically according just to his speech he just called Palin a pig. I'd be all over it to, if someone called my friend a pig. It was his pathetic attempt to counter her bulldog, and Hocky mom joke. It didn't work very well.ferrari2001

he wasnt talking about palin he was comparing Bush and McCain :?

Obama should quickly counter in a big way by showing McCain saying the same thing, talk about how McCain is desperate by dissecting his own remarks to benefit his campaign, and then start attacking McCain's policies nonstop. He should also send a message about how Palin might not have as big of an impact and focus the battle between Obama and McCain.

There's a VP debate, right? Palin always tries to be inspirational or whatever but if Joe Biden can pull it off at the debate, they will dominate!

Even Bill O'Reilly thinks it would be a good idea for McCain to drop it.

Really McCain knows how to use the phrase as well...

I like McCain, he probably won't get my vote but I still like the guy. This petty crap is really disappointing.

Naw... that would be just as petty as McCain is being. You can't raise the level of debate by stooping to that level. Just call it like it is, a dumb effort to manufacture pointless controversy, and stick to the real topics.

It's hard to say. For one, Obama intentionally did it most likely for this very reason. Maybe the plan just backfired.

Then again, thats what I think, I may be way in the outfield.

I'm pretty sure he's more than eight inches tall.

lol and you call urself an American

I don't know if Obama meant it as an insult, but it's a clear example of his inexperience. He should've known people would take it like this... It's his own stupidity. He's pretty much screwed when him and McCain debate. That will seal the deal for McCain. I'm scared to post this because this forum is practically Obama's fan club, but I thought I would anyway. ;)battlefront23

Oh, and Mccain said the exact same pig comment to Hilary, so don't talk anymore please ;)

I cant wait for this too be over it seems like Palin is running for president.

Give it a week and this will die down, people dont support her because of her values they support her because they can relate to her, In fact the McCain campaign knows this and has a team to protect it.

next week it will be McCain Vs Obama

All this stupid stuff is not what this election is about.

It's about the issues.

I agree with Barack.

ENOUGH.

Because when the telemprompters go away, Obama will be toast. He'll set a new record for the amount of "uhs" in a presidential debate. BTW Why the hell do you care? You're in Canada... It's annoying when people who aren't from the US discuss our politics; you should be discussingyour home country's politics, not the US's.

:lol: Make me! Lol You obviously are ignoring my point. This is politics. His comment is understood by intelligent people like GS users. (I still don't know if it was truly an insult or not) But the average American has an... average intelligence. So what he said was not politically savvy (sp?) at all. Thank God he screwed up here so I don't have to be worried every night before I go to bed.

Presidential debates > Vice Presidential debates. Either way, I wouldn't count out Palin so easily.

You don't live here, so I'm not trying to be rude, but why should I care what someone in another country thinks of us? (It would be like me saying something about Canada... How would I know? I don't live there.) So long as the US stands for what's right, I really could care less what other countries think of us.

Again dodging the point. With Palin's comment in her speech, Obama should've realized to not say anything about "lipstick". It's just political common sense.

This lipstick pig issue is so off base...It's ridiculous that people are even talking about it...

Double standards? Hmm? Either way the only reason I support McCain is because Obama is his opponent and Obama can talk... and that's about it. And to add to that, he can't even talk when the teleprompters go away. That comment, his own socialistic (phail) philosophy, his flip flopping (yes I know McCain does too), he's black (I'm not saying I wouldn't vote for him because he's black it' just that some idiots will define someone by their skin color rather the candidate's stance on the issues), and lastly he's inexperienced. He won't win. Don't quote me on it, but I'm 90% sure he won't win.

True, but you don't live here. You can see it on a tv but you're not experiencing it. Also your last comment... I already responded to it. If you guys were mad because we were doing morally wrong things then I do care. But if we are doing morally right things, I could care less what other countries think of us. I'd rather die for a country that stands for something then live for a country that doesn't stand for anything.

*slaps self in head* Can't they just discuss the more important stuff? Like, I don't know, the future of the millions of Americans. FallofAthens

because McCain cant win that way:P
