John McCain has never sent an email !

[Seabass]

John McCain has never sent an email and is just now "learning how to get Online without any help". He also says he does not plan to be a big communicator.

Unbelievable! That compares to when Bush said he had "never read a book" .

Can you please source that quotation? I know President Bush to be a very avid reader, actually.

 

[bmugford]

He likes to "Watch" Drudge's website when he is on the "Internets".

I'm not big on either candidate right now, but I don't like the fact that one of our Presidential candidates aren't familiar with a huge portion of today's culture.

Right there in his link!


Q: Do you use a Blackberry or e-mail?

Mr. McCain: No.
Mark Salter: He uses a BlackBerry, just ours.
Mr. McCain: I use the Blackberry, but I don’t e-mail, I’ve never felt the particular need to e-mail.



Yeah.., he's in touch with todays lifestyles!

Big surprise here.

That just goes to prove to you and I and the rest of the world that if you're a New World Order puppet, you're not getting paid to do any critical thinking, you're getting paid to subdue the public into believing what the globalists want you to believe.

How many NPers would like to play typeracer with McCain for a thousand a game?

Likely he is hunter and pecker ...

 

[johname]

why send emails when your wife makes millions a year and you have assitants that do all that fancy computer stuff.

Some McCain quotes:

"I hate the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live." - On campaign bus 2000


"I am a war criminal; I bombed innocent women and children." - 60 minutes, CBS 1997

Actually..... I just looked and I can't source it. So either my memory is wrong or I just can't find it.

What I remember him saying before running for president is that he had never read a book without pictures.

Looking just now on Google I found quotes of him saying he never reads the newspaper but does scan the headlines and has never read any book about the Middle East.

In regards to him being an avid reader it appears that he and Karl Rove entered a book reading contest where Bush won by reading 60 books, Rove 50. Remember that Rove is supposed to be the big intellectual. Many of the opinions were that he did it to show the world he was not an "intellectual lightweight".

But, yes... you got me..... I can't find even a hint of what I said on Google, so strike what I said about Bush at least.

Probably a misquote of Bush's statement that he never reads a newspaper, seen here on Snopes in the section about "Curiosity":

Reading isn't an indication of intelligence in any case.. I used to be an avid reader of books as a kid reading everything from sci-fi, biographies, science, geography, etc but these days, who has the time? I still have a good sized library and pick up alot of books to "read someday" and get alot of magazines every month that I usually don't get time to look at either. I bet Bush doesn't have alot of time to read either.

The last book I managed to read all the way through was Dan Brown's The DaVinci Code.

I agree that reading is not an indication of intelligence. That being said Bush is the most intellectually incurious President in history, so him being an avid reader would surprise me.

Gridley-Bush doesn't have time to read?

Bush has taken more vacation time than any president in history.

August 2006

"Bush has spent more than a year of his presidency" at his ranch in Crawford, Texas. On August 19, 2005, "he broke Ronald Reagan's record of 335 days for America's most vacationed president and went on to take the longest presidential vacation in 36 years," Dale McFeatters wrote August 8, 2006, in a ScrippsNews editorial.

[bmugford]

Yeah, but let's be fair. He cut his vacation short only 2-3 days after Katrina hit :td:

You're a smart guy - You know that there really is no such thing as a vacation while being President of the United States.

As Bush says it is "hard work". It took 8 years of "hard work" to run the United States into the ground.

Pffft.

forget it i have no opinions.

 

[Seabass]

Well.....it is the Break Room ...... no opinions, dumb opinions, unintelligent posts, etc.... all belong here, I assume. :red:

Bush did keep the economy growing for several years, which was great, but now the next president has to pay off the huge debt that we accrued through him.

All party affiliations must admit that he did have some bad breaks - 911, Katrina, mortgage crisis...... but he could have done a better job of management and spending - IMHO

If he can pull a hat trick and catch Osama before he leaves office it will make me feel much better about him. It really bothers me that we took focus off of this guy while in Iraq.
