so, holding a phone in the palm of one hand and mashing small buttons on the phone isn't diminished because of his tiime as a POW but translating that same action to a keyboard is impossible?

Lets be realistic here. There are plenty of alternative ways to use a computer that millions of people with disabilities do every day. Hey, the guy doesn't have any interest in using a computer. No big deal.

But to say that John McCain is completely incapable of using a computer in some way, shape or form, is just silly. Functionality has been added to Windows (at the very least) so that if you can nod your head, you can use a computer.

Again, it's a very dumb thing to be arguing about.

i wonder if McCain will actually acknowledge Obama's presence this evening

10/7/2008 3:48:45 PM

McCain's main goal tonight will be to make sure that everyone knows Obama's got a closet full of turbans and detonators.

it'll be good. i'm just ultra worried. there's so much at stake in this election. the stakes are high.

McCain was very errational in the debate. He suffered tremendously in this one.

to be fair, the muscles and mechanics involved in typing on a keyboard and using a cell-phone are a bit different. That, and I'd argue that, even with all that computers can do, the ability to use a phone is still more important than the ability to use a computer. There are somethings that I won't do over email that I will do over the phone every time. And then, yes, there are things that I do over email and the computer that I won't generally do over the phone.

So yes, it is understandable that McCain can use a cell-phone, even though his injuries might prevent him from using a keyboard. it's not that fucking unbelievable. But, I guess that's just more proof of Obama's class, right?

McCain did look like your grandpa the World War II vet up there. I'd never suggest my grandpop run for Pres. no matter how much grasp he has on foreign policy.

Obama was just much superior. I think McCain saying "That One" and how he insulted the black guy that asked the question about Fannie Mae actually reached the "nigger" calling area. in a subtle way.

so the GOP/McCain didn't disappoint really.

Eh.

Fuck off with your victimization bullshit.

This thread sucks.

Logic and facts aren't enough to get in the way of TreeTwista's arguments, he's a maverick

Holy shit, I know John McCain is old enough to have owned slaves himself, but does he even know that the Democratic nominee is black??? Times have changed, I just don't think McCain got the memo.

Maybe he was busy nailing jello to a wall
