So he's choose either Churchill or Teddy Roosevelt as his running mate?
(Only watched half of it, then threw up a little bit in my mouth.)
"In what galaxy is this relevant? Why, this one, right over here!"
.
he'll choose.
[in a whiny voice:]
" I Won't Give Up
I Won't Give Up
Fight Fight Fight"
YAY enless War!!
...and what's with the flashing lights?
too much time in a disco?
Thanks for the warning Shaw, I'll not even try.
He's appealing to that pathetic group of Americans who believe in their exceptionalism and believe that we achieve it through invading countries with brown people living in them.
Is this the new Vangelis video? Cool!
Itake it we're going to bomb Pearl Harbor. Again.

"If Hillary Clinton and John McCain become their party's presidential nominees, the general election race is likely to be a love-fest.
At least according to Bill Clinton."
Either that or keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
"My fellow americans,we will leave no cinematic technique unused, no historic speech unpoached, and WE WILL FIND A USE for all the extra footage that's been collected from the Hubble Space Telescope for the past 10 years!"
they know he won't win. they're only trying to shore up support in the only group that loves him, old folks. TR pr0n draws blank stares from about 99% of the american population under 60. ditto the churchill stuff.
i loved the blurred-to-focus "maccain2008" at the end. having dealt with the eldery and blindness a lot recently, i can understand how that works as a 'end on a positive note' for the older audience this is directed at. hopefully, the GG is mostly too cheap to waste money on this guy through his long, dry summer. mitt to the rescue!

His target demographic can't even spell you tube and would have fallen asleep at 47 seconds.
well we've been conditioned to "support the troops".
I've been trying to come up with words to describe this...
For starters: overreaching, overcompensating, delusions of grandeur, warmongering, romantic self-indulgence.
let's be cruel: funny how mcstain wants to remind the geezer vote about their beautiful (all white) grandkids, but not one shot of the heroic son or younger adult in uniform. mccain has come full circle: "the uniform" is best heard about, but not actually seen.
I have to go jet about on my Taiwanese thrill thang.
bbl
.
I still don't understand how John McCain't became the nominee. The "base" had a real conservative, Mittens, and they turned their nose up at him, believing Grandpa Fred would be their next Ronnie Raygun.
Now they've got a guy they detest, a guy they believe is a liberal (ha!) and now apparently he wants to exhume Teddy Roosevelt so he can be his running mate and make McCain't look young.
I can haz stoopid politicks?
Chruchill envy
This part comes next...
“Hey, man, you don’t talk to the Colonel. You listen to him. The
man’s enlarged my mind. He’s a poet-warrior in the classic
sense. I mean sometimes he’ll, uh, well, you’ll say hello to
him, right? And he’ll just walk right by you, and he won’t even
notice you. And suddenly he’ll grab you, and he’ll throw you in
a corner, and he’ll say do you know that ‘if’ is the middle
word in ‘life’? If you can keep your head when all about you are
losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when
all men doubt you — I mean I’m no, I can’t — I’m a little man, I’m a little
man, he’s, he’s a great man. I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas — I mean –”
Yes, Churchill rallied Great Britain at its lowest ebb.
But it was a crippled old Democrat and a paranoid Communist to defeat the Axis powers, along with the fat old drunkard.
Which is why you won't see McBush quoting either Roosevelt or Stalin in his campaign ads.
Old and senile.

How about fucking delusional????????
McCain would make a great British prime Minister. he should run for it.
There was not one single positive image in that.
McCain is appealing to the WWII survivors and military nuts--not a strong demographic in this race.
It seems oddly... evangelical.
We shall never surrender! To what, exactly?
To the beryllium beings of the swirling galaxy at :55.
And "in space no one can hear you scream" is actually Alien. As in, "in space no one can hear you scream at a reporter who asked you about whether you talked to John Kerry about being his running mate in 2004."
McStain, you forgot to throw Ronnie into the mix. That's unforgivable.

Too young.

This guy is no Churchill. What nerve.
This is an appeal to the lizard brain.
And as usual, patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
I love the fine print disclaimer at the very end... if you read closely it says "May Cause Some Softening of Stool".
Old men send young men and women to war with a wave and a grin and stirring words. They seem unhaunted by the death they cause and the bloody cycle of vengeance their rhetorical spinning inspires. I am sick to death of John McCain and Joe Lieberman and every other pasty doughy lifeless old prune who has needlessly sent our military to fight a needless and meaningless war. Young men and women are dying for these megalomaniacal bastards, as are innocent people who never held a grudge against this country until we so incompetently threw theirs into chaos.
Fuck John fucking McCain and his dusty words. We need something better than blood toil tears and sweat for the bloody hell of it.
Ok, I'm out.

As demonstrated on the last thread.
Moonbootica Johnson is right! It was actually the Russians who fought the Germans the most.
brian "lube and yank it" hardig envies us for our bath houses.
makes sense, if you think about it. last night he was telling us how badly janet has pussy whipped him. his rare snatches of honesty are quite revealing.
Poetry for an evening in early, early spring.
Did you see that in the video there was a brief shot of Huggy Bear on the bed ... holding a cigarette?
I wonder if I can screen cap that ...
Churchill and TR. But no FDR. Hhhmmmm.
And that music! Wow.
Plus the lights--are those supposed to look like carrier landing lights at night...or what? WTF?
The end shots a little children in fields somehow don't fit in very well.
But, as a hodgepodge, I guess it works.
Doug, where do you live that you see impressive petroglyphs like that?
I feel (almost) like giving him some $ so he can show this fecal monstrosity over and over again.
The McStain ad is good propaganda.
It presents a poison pill but coats it in patriotism so the Americans people will swallow it.
"We will never surrender!" sounds great but what does it mean?
Never surrender to who? Osama bin laden? Give me a break!
And while we continue with Bushboy's unnecessary and unending war, what about educating America's children? What about rebuilding it's infrastructure? What about getting off the addiction to $100/barrel (soon to be $200/barrel) oil?
There are 1.5 billion members of the Islamic faith. If we continue to invade Islamic countries we will not only be in for a "hundred year war," it will last forever.
We don't need war. We need peace and prosperity.
McStain thinks the solution for everything is a military solution.
He needs to fuck off and die.
John McCain reminds me ever more of a minor character from The King of Hearts who was left lying on the cutting room floor.
I love the fine print disclaimer at the very end... if you read closely it says "May Cause Some Softening of Stool".
melior
All I got out of that ad was that McCain speaks with a really high soprano voice. Compared to Churchill (not that there's anything wrong with that).
makes sense, if you think about it. last night he was telling us how badly janet has pussy whipped him. his rare snatches of honesty are quite revealing.
How do you pussy whip someone? Do you cut out your vulva, attach it to a piece of string, and let whip?
I don't think men or women are superior as a whole kind of deal.
I think I am superior to everyone else though. It's normal.
Pathetic. If this guy wins even one state I'm moving to Canada. I never knew that GOPers thought Winston and TR were their guiding lights. No reference to JC or God in general or a burning cross somewhere in the backgroud, what will his base say? Most of all, who were the idiots who put this piece together? It really is weird.
that's a fucking brilliant video.
the production qualities are topnotch and its totally visually arresting.
this guys selling himself as a great leader.

We need to use the photo of the little girl in Vietnam running up the road naked because she got burned by napalm.
"Does America need to be hated anymore than it already is? Do we really want more of this?"

Don't do it. It is really cold and snowy and in the summer you can't breathe.

The part that pisses me off is the patented fake smile with the "We'll never surrender, and they will."
"They" meaning we DFHs, who of course have been fucking right every step of the way.

"and they will"
how's that working out for the GOP, seven years after they let Osama waltz out of Tora Bora?
McCain should go to a bar in Perth, or visit Amritsar, and celebrate Churchill. He should go just about anywhere in Latin America and celebrate TR. That both were racists, imperialists and had distinctly mixed legacies probably doesn't enter into McCain's thinking.
And the Soviet Union, of course, bore by far the brunt of the European war, and was by far the most responsible for Germany's defeat. McCain won't, odds are, celebrate Stalin's wartime leadership as part of his campaign.
Note that I haven't even started in on McCain himself...
It's like a cross between the Van Halen "Right Now" video and that song by Moby that was in the commercials for "Heat."
Cue sound track, "Knee deep in the big muddy, but the big fool says to push on."

That's what happens when a fly boy plans a war. It all looks so much easier from the air.
leni reifenstahl was also brilliant creating 'Triumph of the Will'.....
Very rousing.
Notice that McStain didn't use the word "Iraq" in his faux patriotic piece.
He knows the American people hate the Iraq war and know they were duped into it.
McStain and the Goopers will speak of "terrorism" and "al Qaeda" and the "threat to America," but they won't talk about the the bloodsucking war.
They know we hate it.
God, I just can't fucking stand it:
One Clinton aide yesterday derided Mr Obama’s victories in “boutique” caucus states rather than the hardscrabble terrain of the rustbelt, saying: “Obama has won the small caucus states with the latte-sipping crowd. They don’t need a president, they need a feeling.”

If McStain really wants to improve his chances in November he should run that ad and at the end show a picture of Hillary saying, "I approve this message."
I'll bet she would, if he asked her...
triumph of the swill.
This kind of manipulation will absolutely get him elected. If he's not swiftboated into another Kerry, we're toast.
Okay - grass is cut, garden is watered (did I mention the grape vine is coming back? This year - grapes!), the chicken is cooked and the house is dusted. Meanwhile, the bees are in an absolute tizzy over the apricot blossoms, so it looks gud in about a month for lots of apricot jam. Couple more cooking-related activities and then I get to finish shredding all the stupid bits and pieces of paper I've been hanging onto for 10 years (the IRS does not care about the bill to re-upholster the sofa). Monday, I'll find somebody to take all the shredding and recycle it.
And my much beloved Burgie, formerly of the sole surviving service station on my side of town (which closed abruptly) has made his whereabouts known - Jeep can haz oil change now!
Finally, NTodd - the term 'water rights' is quite a bit different from mere 'rights', at least out west. I'd no more give up or turn off my water rights than I would move to Vermont and teach at that silly school where they make all the faculty wear Park Ranger hats. Having water rights attached to my property means that I can thriftily grow enough green to lower the ambient temperature during the summer enough to allow me not to have to use much a/c or power to cool the house. Having water rights means that I can keep a green cover on the land so that it doesn't dry out and blow away, losing top soil and productive, fertile ground and ultimately poisoning the ground water. It isn't always the best idea to 'turn off the water'. Sometimes it's far more reasonable to use it intelligently.
Laterz!
Nothing brings out the youth vote like Winston Churchill clips from WWII newsreels.
Yep, I much prefer to trash McCain.
