McCain Guarantees Victory - Fantasy or Planned Bullsh*t?
Edited on Sun Oct-26-08 03:56 PM by firedupdem

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he can “guarantee” a win on Nov. 4 in a squeaker victory that won’t be clear until late that night.

McCain spoke amid signs of a tightening race, and reports of renewed determination among his staff, which is badly outgunned in both money and manpower.

“I guarantee you that two weeks from now, you will see this has been a very close race, and I believe that I'm going to win it,” McCain told interim "Meet" moderator Tom Brokaw. “We're going to do well in this campaign, my friend. We're going to win it, and it's going to be tight, and we're going to be up late.”

Fantasy world or sneak peek at planned bullshit? I'm calling fantasy world on this one!

2. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT HIM TO SAY?!
If Obama was in his position, he'd be saying exactly the same thing. It's called "boosting morale."

3. I call B.S., too. McCain also denies almost the entire country thinks Palin is an idiot.
That said, with Bush ordering the DoJ to purge Ohio voters, and Diebold and ES&S still on the scene, the flip side of this is he has been assured it will be stolen for him.

4. What else could he say?
"It is over. By 7:00 on November 4th, I will be the biggest loser since George McGovern."
He is suppose to say he is going to win. That is what politicians do.

10. Yes, he's in fantasy world
Brokaw quoted a number of things from the NBC polls that show McCain is doing crappy, and McCain's only response was that he didn't believe the poll. Now polls can't forecast the future, but when we have dozens of polls from various different organizations that are coming to about the same conclusions I think it is outrageous of McCain to act like they are all wrong.

11. What else is he going to say?
"Yeah, we suck; we're collapsing in the polls; Obama draws crowds of 100,000 and I can hardly fill a middle-school gymnasium. To make matters worse, Sarah Palin is so batshit crazy she's starting to scare me. I should've picked Mitt Romney even though he's a batshit crazy Mormon; at least he can string two sentences together and he doesn't claim he can see Russia from his house. The whole fucking Republican party is going down in flames and my hemorrhoids itch. And, hey, Colin Powell? Blow me."

That's what he really should say, but he's got to try to pretend he can win it so the zombies drag themselves to the polls.

12. What else do you do when you are way down and running out of time?
You say stupid inspirational shit to your time and carry on. Did you expect him to say "yeah Tom we're done"?

15. He's just delusional.
He can't go around telling his supporters that they will lose, but keep campaigning anyways. I don't think there's really anything sinister about it. It's just a poor, bitter old man that doesn't want to believe his white house dreams are over.
