How do you all feel about this?

Question

How do you feel about :

John McCain exploiting the fact that he was a POW to play on the emotions of the American people?

Sarah Palin exploiting her infant child with DS and her teenage pregnant daughter to play on the emotions of the American people?

Rudy Giuliani and the Rep. party exploiting 9/11 to play on the emotions of the American people?

Answer 1

I think your an a*****e with no heart

Answer 2

The POW story really gets on my nerves. It was mentioned everyday at the RNC. We all know what happened and frankly i dont care anymore.  I think he's embellishing his story some too.

Answer 3

That 9/11 video was hideous.  I am tired of the POW tagline, it is like he is owed the presidency.  The pandering to fear is just tacky.

Answer 4

As evidenced by all the questions on YA, and the criticisms on this issue from Libs elsewhere, it seems that YOU are the people who are exploiting the POW thing, not him.  I am sure he wants to forget his five years of torture, but you all just keep bringing it up.

How is Sarah Palin exploiting anything?  She had a kid with DS, and said that she would be an advocate in the white house for special needs children.  And she hasn't said anything about her teenage pregnant daughter, but plenty of other people have.

Rudy Giuliani was the mayor of NYC during 9/11, so he can bring up 9/11 if he likes.  At least he's not like the snoozebags who prattle on with their conspiracy theories.

Btw, do you know the meaning of the word exploit?

Answer 5

sick that any of these things should even be considered as "experience" for the white house

Answer 6

it seems to me that the democratic party is exploiting  Sarah Palin's child and future grand child, she was forced by lieing Democrats to talk about Bristol and as for her child she should be left alone about that, John McCain merely stated a fact that he was a POW, a statement that neither Obama or biden can claim and no one can argue about it

Answer 7

Well, if I was tortured for 5 years in a Vietnamese prison...I think I would talk about it.  The bottom line is, people ***** and complain about the dumbest things, this guy was in a prision camp for over 1500 days!  The fact she has kids she can't change, one is prego one is disabled.  Well, I would classify 9/11 the biggest deal for Giuliani while he was the mayor of NY...he should not talk about it because it was a big deal.  Your nuts

Answer 8

They shouldn't be allowed to talk about their real life experiences and their heroism!  

Answer 9

God you are so blind and misled,if i didn't despise people like you i would actually feel sorry for you

Answer 10

i love it. it Gives the American people more reasons to vote for Obama/biden 08

Answer 11

I totally agree with that!!!

Sarah Palin also exploited:

Her roll as a Hockey Mom and PTA member to play on the emotions of every Mom in America.

Pit Bulls, so now everybody is going out to buy one. I hope this doesn't happen in my neighborhood!

Answer 12

Well Obama exploit his background, no father and such. So everyone exploits something. But I am tired of the whole 9/11 bit with Giuliani. I mean COME ON, Shut up already.

Answer 13

I am fine with Giuliani, since I was around and can understand how bad 9/11 was.

However Sarah Palin turns me off since I feel that she is ignoring her kids. I am fine with a working mom, just as long as they spend time with their kids. Its pretty obvious that she doesn't.

McCain needs to stop playing up the POW. We all know he's a hero. It turns me off when he brings it up in nearly every speech, I don't want to hear it anymore. I want to hear how he will help his Americans in the future, not what he did in the past. I don't see any of his plans at all other than "drill baby drill" (which scared me!) for oil.  He needs more substance rather than being on the attack.  

Answer 14

have no feelings bad towards mccain he earned that right

palin on the other hand i think is exploiting her family in many ways and i think they are a horrible portrayal of american family values and even worse role models

and finally im not sure what you mean with the 9/11 part but i dont think anyone has a right to hang their flag on that to many suffered and they were from both parties not just the republican

Answer 15

My party has lost their cajones.  Clearly he selected Palin as a political decision, not necessarily because she would be best for America.

Answer 16

YOU DEMOCRATS JUST KEEP WITH YOUR BS,HUH!?...MEDIA EXPLOITED SARAH PALIN'S BABY!...I ALREADY KNEW OF JOHN MCCAIN'S POW TIMES, I DO READ AND LEARN YOU KNOW...ALSO AMERICANS SHOULD NOT FORGET ABOUT 9/11...AMERICA  IS A GREAT PLACE; BUT YOU DEMOCRAT COMMUNSIT PARTY MESS UP THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY..

Answer 17

I like them all.

And dumb @ss questions like yours just makes me more sure that i am voting the RIGHT way.

Answer 18

Everybody fights with the arsenal he/she has.Can't blame them for trying.

Answer 19

I think it stinks.  Instead of focusing on sacrifice, security and overcoming adversity they should be addressing the important issues of the day.

Hope and change!

Answer 20

The American people are very gullible with their feelings, that's how i feel about that.

Answer 21

Get a life ..These are facts and they aren't afraid to tell about them..That shows selflessness and character.. Do you know what those two words mean?

I have tree special needs children and if I can vote for somebody that has compassion and understanding in that area and many others then she has my vote hands down..Biden has nothing to offer nor does his mate!

McCain / Palin 2008

Answer 22

1. McCain isn't "Exploiting" his POW status. He is showing what he has sacrificed for YOUR ability to write this tralk... What have YOU done for this country other than b*tch about it?

He knows what "TO ProTect And Serve" means... Without people like him, you hippy scum wouldn't have the right to question his patriotism.

2. I have not seen a single thing from Sarah Palin " Exploiting" her DS kid... It sickens me that people keep saying that since she HAS a DS kid, she can't be a good leader.

3. I dislike Rudy Giuliani... But how is it that you can FORGET 9-11 and the mass graves filled with thousands of bloating corpses out in front of the Prison that Saddam's evil, nut-job son's ran?

Isn't GENOCIDE and the battle cry of "DESTROY THE NON BELIEVERS" enough to justify doing what is RIGHT and taking the nut-jobs down?

If someone broke in to your house, tried to kill your family, wouldn't you defend them and yourself? That is what we are doing...

The idea that “War never solved anything” is only true if you have lived your life in a cushy American Suburb and never knowing hardship… It is easy to complain about everything when you have always known prosperity.

BTW… Not being able to buy the newest I-Phone does NOT mean you are in “Abject Poverty”. Go talk to your grandparents about The Great Depression before starting in on how sh*tty the country is and how horrible your life is because of “The Republicans”.

George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine.

A little over one year ago:

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;

2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;

3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.

4) the DOW JONES hit a record high--14,000 +

5) American's were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacations o'seas, living large!...

3) Unemployment is up 5% (A 10% increase);

4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS & prices still dropping;

6) as I write, THE DOW is probing another low - 11,300--$2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!
