OMFG! Major Screw up by McCain on MSNBC
He said, and I quote:

"We're going to fool them again, my friends, we're going to fool them one more time!"

:rofl:

17. Not that context matters in politics,
But he said,

"They thought this campaign was over but,... rest of quote"

The point is that McCain's philosophy is about "fooling" the public, tricking his way into the White House.

But it will make a perfect ad for Obama.

Shows that his thinking habits are all about trickery and cheating.

22. Context:
Ronghly paraphrased: "by the polls, people think we're going to lose. We're going to fool them again."

29. Because, to win, we must fool them.
Not surprise them, but fool them.

The choice of words tells you much about the man.

he's concentrating on. Just like George.

30. This needs to be made into a youtube moment
Take blivet** saying his famous "saying in Tennessee" line, then fade to McCain saying that they are going to fool them one more time.

Yep, that will do it.

35. I found the context.
“How many times, my friends, have the pundits written off the McCain campaign.

“We’re going to fool them again, we’re going to fool them one more time.”

39. I bookmarked it. Thanks!
It shows that McCain feels he can only win by "fooling" people.

It shows he is not an honest man.

38. Foolishness.
Bush: "Fool me once, shame on ... shame on you. It fool me. We can't get fooled again."

McCain:
"We're going to fool them again, my friends, we're going to fool them one more time!"

:wtf: is up with those two and their foolishness?
