What are the party's talking points against McCain?
What are the candidates, and the national parties points against McCain? It seems none of the candidates have any yet, or have mentioned any, the same way they do to us about Hillary and Obama. We can't just play nice with him, but will the party and the media have the balls to air our views of a (gasp) VETERAN? What are the EXACT talking points the party and candidates have taken?

1. He's yesterday's news. He's old and wrinkled. He's half nuts. He's full of shit.
Even Romney supporters found that out last night after McCain said that Romney was for timetables to pull out of Iraq.

McCain's "straight shooter express" just went off the tracks and down into the canyon!

McCain might be old and wrinkled, but he's got his act together this time, that much is obvious for anyone paying attention.

2. Hope. Change. Experience. Blah. Inspiring. Read my lips. No new taxes.
Who the hell knows? Dog and pony show far as I'm concerned.

4. "Bomb bomb bomb Iran" McCain..
acts like he is on vallium.

Yeah, it would also be good to hear HRC and BO get into the repigs shit rather then pouncing on each other.

7. Talking points should be:
McCain: more war, more death, more destruction, more deficit.

That's exactly what McCain represents.

10. Hillary's: "he's just like Bush - wants us in Iraq for 100 years"
Said it in a debate - and it earned her points with me at the time (before deciding on a candidate)

11. Here are a few
Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 08:10 AM by outtosea
I can see the negative ads now.

Their "Greatest Hits" will include:

1. His "more wars, more wars, more wars" speech on Meet the Press.

2. He'll be hit for his staunch support of George W. Bush in 2004.

3. Iraq, Iraq, Iraq.

4. Iraq.

5. His comment that he "still needs to learn" about economy.

They'll try to portray him as a one-trick pony (Iraq), who is not capable of getting us out of recession, or keeping us out of a very unpopular war.

13. He's a hot-headed, sarcastic war-monger. He'll do NOTHING good domestically.
Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 08:16 AM by WinkyDink
Couldn't care less about health-care, civil rights, poverty, etc.

15. MY talking point about McCain ...
"Voting was along party lines." Supported everything that Bush demanded, getting us to where we're at now ... deeply in debt, and in Iraq for a century ...

16. I heard someone say on the radio yesterday that McCain's platform
seems to be "I won't bring back any jobs, but we'll have more wars."
