Why did John McCain say "We are all Georgians"?

Question

I'm not a freaking Georgian.

Can you do your pandering without speaking for everyone else, McLame?

Answer 1

Its the hint we should all take, that if h is elected we'll spend the next 4 -8 years being the world police, running up huge deficits, while the value of the dollar falls, causing higher fuel prices and more bank failures..

Answer 2

I'm not Georgian either. Not from our Georgia or the other Georgia.  

Answer 3

He means that Bush lost the U.S. to Saakashvili in a poker game.

Answer 4

he thinks georgia was one of the original 13 colonies

Answer 5

Another ill advised right wing move to start another war with somebody we can't beat.

Got to stop doing this - don't vote for this guy!

Answer 6

..He also said "he speaks for all Americans"!!!!!!!loooooooool

Answer 7

you all forgot that after 9/11 the Iranians said we are all Americans

Answer 8

He was in Atlanta, campaigning....go figure, next he'll be critical of Sherman's march to the sea, Notice he did not say, " we are all South Ossetians"

Answer 9

Hes very old and has a hard time memorizing that he is running for American President, he even forgets he is running for president. BOB DOLE!

Answer 10

He was speaking empathetically. You CAN empathize with being attacked/ invaded, can't you?

McCain '08

Edit: I see many on here who have no idea where Georgia is... it's a country, people!

Answer 11

There is a tendency to over-identify with regions that we think are affecting our future.  McCain's comment is no worse than "We all live in Sarajevo."

Answer 12

He was referring to the fact that we too were duped by the Georgia Bigfoot Hoax of 2008 ;)

Answer 13

I would comment, but you've said it all for me.

Who was asking about which party was more educated?

McCain '08.

Answer 14

I'm not either.

It is the Republican way, to fire up the nationalist feelings of the far right.

That was exactly what he was doing...selling nationalism and sensationalism to rally everyone under a questionable agenda.

The best way to sell something, is to get the people you are trying to trick into buying it to see some common ground between them and either the salesman, or the benefactor of the agenda.

Answer 15

Because he is a loser Falcons fan.

Or an idiot.

I pick the second.

Answer 16

Georgia is a sovereign country and it was invaded. We are a sovereign nation that was also attacked. Ergo, we commisserate with the Georgians.....

Answer 17

Sound pretty generalist to me.  I live in Georgia (the state not the country) and even I don't consider my Georgian.

Answer 18

I don't even LIKE Peaches.  Keep your friggin' sad excuse for a fruit, yeah d**n Georgians.

Answer 19

Somewhere in McCain's camp, a campaign advisor has his hands on his face, shaking in disbelief.  

Answer 20

Because his foriegn policy advisor is paid by the Georgian government to pander/lie.

Answer 21

he's old as moses what else was he suppose to say??
