(I am sorry-- I clicked on the green P political icon, and the light bulb shows up
on the post! I must have had a senior moment!) I meant this thread to have the
correct icon! sigh

Looks like an okay icon to me Mrs. D. :winky: I could kick myself for not being in tune with 60 minutes last night. Didn't find out about it until this morning.

:thud:

Thanks for the link.

I think a mod fixed it... Thank you.
 

I typically use the lightbulb icon. When I clicked on the
green Political one, I guess I missed the little hole. When I looked back at my post...the lightbulb was on it!

I sometimes have problems with the monitor since I wear trifocals and early in the morning I am just not up to par. :o

Thanks! I'm going to listen right now!

Never mind, I just read part of McCain's responses. So, he voted for deregulation of the banking industry; he now all of a sudden agrees there is a problem with the economy (like he's reading it from a script); he supports the government bailing out of said banking industry, but the blame is put on Wall Street???? Give me a break. Please.

It's "flavor of the day" with this particular politician. Whatever everyone's agreeing with that particular day.....he's on it. Reading from a script? Yes. Being cued when to smile? Yes, yes, yes. :rolleyes: Please............

Obviously all politicans have a script - that's the name of the game- all of them -not specific parties or politicans - all !!!! Sometimes that seems to be forgotten by some of you -

That goes without saying.....of course they all have a script.

But....the politician reading the script should at least be a little familiar with what he's saying and not be perceived as reading the script for the first time ever!! :eek: That's exactly the "vibe" I get from McCain. No emotion (or exaggerated "pretend" emotions inserted whenever told). And inappropriate anger (scary!). And constantly looking down to read what he's supposed to be saying. C'mon! :rolleyes: Does he actually have an opinion on anything or does he just go with whatever seems to be popular any given day?

It's true that all politicians have a script. But, not all politicians can speak "off-the-cuff". McCain struggles enough just trying to read his little cards. The upcoming debate will only prove my point. A script is an absolute necessity for him. I'm still looking for the strings attached to his arms and legs.;)

Please let's not bash either side, as we all have friends here from all political parties.

We are a support community first, that is the main reason we are here.

When the debates come...
 

Watch McCain's clothing carefully.

During the GWBush debates, many photos were taken and showed a bulky transmitter on his back.

They are on the net in many places. One photo even enhanced by a NASA employee who did that for a living! One other speculation was that he was wearing a cardiac device. But that information has not been released to the public either.

Also watch for him, listening. GWB was caught listening to his earpiece quite a bit. This is quite controversial as you might expect, but I am going to watch for it. Also it is possible that technology has enabled the transmitter/receiver to be smaller now, so we might not see it as easily. So watch the behavior of the candidates to see if they are being prompted.
