OOOPS......Well at 73 I guess we could all slip up once in awhile.:ha::ha:

Re: McSenile just referred to the country as "my fellow prisoners."
 

I do already at 44!

At least he knows how many states we have and knows the correct posture with the national anthem is played. We all make mistakes; I'm glad I don't need to do this kind of speaking.

But I do think we're all fellow prisoners of mainstream media!

Re: McSenile just referred to the country as "my fellow prisoners."
 

Amen to that Harvey, we are all subject to the MEDIA for our news and information, kinda scary when you think about it. :bananas_b

Honest mistake from Obama, senility from McCain. Apples and oranges "my friend" ;)

Re: McSenile just referred to the country as "my fellow prisoners."
 

What is this thread doing here, guys?!

Come on now, 2 men that would otherwise be perfectly content talking about bananas are going to get in an argument over something irrelevant (Not saying this election is irrelevant at all, saying it is irrelevant on a banana website IMO). Other people are likely to chime in and get angry as well, and then; 1) This site is lowered to the level of all of those you don't like for discussing certain things, and 2) Less server space!!!!!! (LOL)

Let's get back to some good old banana discussion.

Re: McSenile just referred to the country as "my fellow prisoners."
 

Hey, Taylor, don't you go telling us old farts what we can't talk about. You might make us angry, you know!

Mitchel, I don't think that McCain is the least bit senile. Pretty soon you're gonna have Tyalor calling both you and me senile too! I do remember Obama making the comment a while back about "my Muslim faith". There are those that would say that was neither senility nor a mistake! ;)

Re: McSenile just referred to the country as "my fellow prisoners."
 

But on another matter, Mitchel, I think you've gone nuts and forgot to remind me about your nuts! ;)

That's OK. Today I told Mom that our bougainvilleas will have to start coming inside. I refer to them as "my bougs", but instead called them "my boobs". Now I may be a tad overweight 60 year old man, but they're not that big! :ha: My feeling is McCain's slip is just a senior moment of no import, and I say this as a rabid Obama supporter.

Re: McSenile just referred to the country as "my fellow prisoners."
 

Your right about the barack husein osama I mean obama slip. He could be the biggest sleeper agent of all time! (I know its a stretch, but certainly possible) I guarantee if bin laden and every foreign islamic extremest had a vote it would most certainly be for obama! He did study at a madrossa you know.
Say what you want about McCain, but all else left aside. obama WILL NEVER sacrifice 1% of what McCain did for this country and you know it. McCain could have come home almost imediatley after capture but instead he stuck it out for years with his FELLOW PRISONERS OF WAR , rather than be given preferential treatment and early release. Hell obama can't even sacrifice his smoking habit! I really shouldn't even be commenting on this, seeing as I come to this site for banana info. But I just couldn't take the media brain washed lefty lunacy, coupled with the blatant disrespect for a war hero any longer. If you haven't been in combat you have no idea what McCain has been through for this country. He has fought and protected with his very life (and has suffered severe and lasting injuries to this day!) your right to degrade and insult him, so just give that some thought before you spout off next time and at least thank him for your free right to do so.


McCain isn’t the only one to stumble over his words. Democratic candidate Barack Obama said in May he had been to “57 states.”

“Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it,” he said to a crowd in Oregon.

Knowing how many states we have must be above his pay grade???

"...if you haven't been in combat you have no idea what McCain has been through for this country."

Well, I qualify to comment, then, as an old combat medic, and while I always will have tremendous respect for his behavior while in the Hanoi Hilton, I have become an Obama supporter after much careful reflection and study. I have to say I thought that McCain really was treated like s*** by Bush's team in 2000, especially in North Carolina. Yet what does McCain do in 2008 but hire the same team that did it to him in 2000! I have lost a lot of the respect I had for McCain by his behavior in going for the right's support. so different than in 2000.

I will, however, renew my earlier request in another posting. Another forum I belong to had a political thread that really blew up into some nasty stuff. Quite frankly, I don't think I can convince any of the McCain supporters to vote for Obama, and I know I'll not change based on the postings in these types of threads. Instead I come here to enjoy the company of my fellow nana lovers of whatever political persuasion. I don't care if your red or blue, right or left as long as we all show each other the proper respect we deserve.

Re: McSenile just referred to the country as "my fellow prisoners."
 

I also qualify, I have no problems with reasonable views either for or against McCain but the lack of repect shown to him from people who DO NOT qualify (most of whom would probably drop into a fetal position at the first shot fired or a humvee back fire... are you listening heraldo?) to comment about his service to the country is repugnant.

Re: McSenile just referred to the country as "my fellow prisoners."
 

I agree entirely but some people just have to spout everywhere they can, and I was foolish enough to step into the ambush even though I knew it was coming.

Re: McSenile just referred to the country as "my fellow prisoners."
 

Settle down children! I can only imagine that he may be having a flashback of when he would offer encouragement to fellow prisoners while he was a POW. I remember that my Dad would occasionally have similar slips because of being a POW for only less than 2 years, after "participating" in the "Bataan Death March." As another VFW member just recently said to me, "The Japanese made the Germans look like Boy Scouts!" And if anyone thinks that the VC was anything close to the Japanese in WWII. . . . . they're probably right. You really have to at least see the aftermath, if you cannot be there, to appreciate this.

And there are parallels between McCain and my Dad. My Dad could have escaped during the march, being in familiar territory. He was also offered an early release. In both cases, he chose to stay because there were 30, or so, troops, under his command, who might become demoralized if he were to leave them. With this knowledge, and the environment that I grew up in, it is easy for me to respect a man like Capt. McCain, who insisted that other prisoners, more crippled than he was, be given an early in his stead. I may disagree with some of his policies as a senator, and there are some of you who I've told that to, and whether I vote for him or not, I will always have the utmost respect for this man, who thinks about the others before himself.

This is the same man who shut down the contract between the biggest employer in the State of WA and the Air Force in 2001, because of the corruption behind it. An Undersecretary is now serving time because of that failed contract. I should be mad at him because it meant loss of a lot of jobs in WA state. But is that right? In my view, I should respect him more. And I do.

:lurk:

Re: McSenile just referred to the country as "my fellow prisoners."
 

No, it was a public school. Come on, even FOX debunked this rumor started by the Clinton campaign.

It's amazing people actually believe he's anything less than a proud, patriotic and Christian America. Funny how one minute he's a "sleeper" muslim and the next people want to rail on him about Reverend Write. Um... yeah, that makes sense.

The same crap goes for the flag pin, pledge, etc. Can we please stick to the REAL issues for once?

Re: McSenile just referred to the country as "my fellow prisoners."
 

Was that a public muslim school??? Yah I thought so. He's the one who slipped up with the muslim comment I guess he must be senile as well then. Also I don't know how proud he is to be an american, his wife was actually only proud to be an american for the first time in her life after he started running for president. Maybe she should have resided somewhere else for the past 40 yrs.
