McCain Jumps the Gun with “My Fellow Prisoners”

James Bovard, October 08, 2008

In a speech today, John McCain told the audience: “Across this country, this is the agenda I have set before my fellow prisoners.”

Here is a 13 second YouTube clip from the speech.

I thought McCain had been in politics long enough to know not to notify people that he was nullifying all their rights until after the election.

    I’ve watched that clip a dozen times now…

    It seems intentional and well rehearsed to me. But why? Is McCain taking a dive? He seems to be deliberately handing the “opposition” fist-fulls of ammo to sink him with!

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Obama will be the next Zionist puppet-president.

    does he have POW rhetoric where he talks about what he and his “fellow prisoners” went through or something? I don’t listen to stump speeches there has to be some reason for saying something like that.

    there is a youtube of obama struggkling through a teleprompter outage that is similarly ridiculous. he advocates giving breathalizers to kids with diabetes.

    The two establishment parties have virtually the same foreign policies. They are both committed to an interventionist platform. This is the REAL problem.

    Yeah…we have a one-party system! I was trying to imply that the orders came from on high: “Johnny, we want you to go down in the 9th!” XD
