They have no argument that's whay they just scream about bracelets. When there is nothing left to say talk jewelry.

Why are we talking about bracelets when the government is voting on a 700 Billion dollar bail out of Wall Street!

The economy is slipping and we are amidst the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

But we are talking about BRACELETS!
Why? Because dishonest slimy distractions like these are the only way Republicans have a chance to win. They lose when Americans are focused on issues. McCain knows this, which is why he's run arguably the dirtiest presidential campaign in history. It's why he chose a gimmick as a running mate. It's why he threatened to not show up for the debate so he could "save the economy". It's why his fanatical supporters spread false rumors daily.

Read the entire article. She said it was fine because McCain brought up his bracelet first. As a matter of fact, she was "ecstatic"!

Right. She's doing what she's being told to do at this point,AFTER THE FACT,to help Obama,whom she supports.
Her husband disagrees,and was clear that she did, as well.
When there were no political stakes,she expressed her true wishes.

Wait, I'm sorry. Am I reading this correctly that the claim is now that the mother in question was told to give the statement she made?
The one concerning her being ecstatic that Obama mentioned her son in the context he did during the debate?

Did someone from Obama's campaign tell her to say this?
Was there crack involved? A pay off?

Told to do by whom?

You're presuming to think for Mrs Joepek, and it wasn't the ex-husbands call, since he didn't give it to Obama

Where's your link to prove that she was told to say as such?

You're really stretching this one... much further than most would think to...

Maybe it's best if you stop now, before you look any more foolish than you do already?

They love to stretch out on the limb and when it backfires they still want to find more bs to believe in. It's a shame really im surprised they havent started crying about how liberal the media is lol
