    John "Semi-Senile" McCain, choosing Bobby Jindal as his VP would be yet another Dunder Blunder and True Proof of Sen. McCain's (Senility)

    Wikipedia: Piyush "Bobby" Jindal...if You Dare !!!

    1. Real Name Piyush "Bobby" Bobby is not Jindal's Legal Name.

    2. Bobby is using a Socially Politically and Acceptable Name, to Appease his White American Demographic.

    3. For (17-18 yrs) of Jindal's Life he was a (Hindu) and Converted to (Roman Catholicism) in High School, yet as for all Hindu's, he Does Not Eat Meat and is a Strict Vegetarian.

    4. John McCain would Contradict his "Inexperienced Stance" Against the Young (46-47 Yr. Old) soon to be President, Barack Obama , because Jindal is 35-36 yrs old !!!

    5. The Republican Party is a Mess Now, what do you Think, would be the Reception, for this Mid 30-ish VP, who uses a Nick Name,oppose to his Legal Birth Name, who was a Hindu for Many Years, who still holds fast to the Hindu Traditions of not eating Meat, who is Far Younger than Barack obama and has Less Experience than Both Ole Man Mccain and the Jr. Senator from Illinois Barack Obama....

    What do you think would happen, when All the Fore Mentioned Information above on Jindal is EXPOSED ?

    God Forbid Mccain would Win the Presidency, Have a Stroke, Get Severe Skin Cancer or have a Heart Attack in Office and Die an this E. Indian American, using a Nick Name, Bobby, Oppose to PiYush with Hindu Values, becomes the 45th President of the USA, based on Ole Man McCain becoming Gravely Ill or Worse, Dying in Office !!!

    Not to Mention, Jindal's accounting of Excercising a Demon out of a College Chum, whose Information, will be Massively Circulated throughout the world ?


    That Nick Name Bobby, is going to Come to Light, in a Very Bad Way !!!!

    Happy Campaign Trails PiYush "Bobby" Jindal !!!

      Omaar -

      You allege that John McCain is semi-senile.
      Where does that leave you - almost totally senile?

      I am not aware that John McCain has chosen, let alone announced anyone as his VP.
      Are you able to back up your opinion with any facts? I doubt it!
      Why are you even attacking this individual?

      You claim that "Bobby" is not Jindal's legal Name.
      It may come as a surprise to you, but a lot of individuals from the middle east, India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and the Phillipines regularly adopt nick-names in North America, especially if their birth name is either quite foreign or difficult to pronounce.
      Do you have a problem with that? If so, get over it, you pathetic excuse for a human being.

      You denigrate your ability to be rational by stating that "Bobby is using a Socially Politically and Acceptable Name, to Appease his White American Demographic." Again - appease - that's merely your own perverted prejudiced point of view - an unfound rationalization.

      Then you expose yourself as being both racist and religiously intollerant by stating "For (17-18 yrs) of Jindal's Life he was a (Hindu) and Converted to (Roman Catholicism) in High School, yet as for all Hindu's, he Does Not Eat Meat and is a Strict Vegetarian".
      Are you implying that this individual is unfit for the possible VP position because he was a Hindu, is a Roman Catholic, and that he does not eat meat?

      Are these to be considered as valid reasons why this potential candidate for VP should be shunned by the voters, as seems to be your intention?

      Omaar, you are a complete sham!

      Direct Request for reply by Pia1981 -

      I have noticed that on a few occasions, you have congratulated this excuse for a blogger for his posts.
      Do you support him now?
      Will you bother to express your disgust for this rant of his, if you are offended by it?

      I await your reply, if you would choose to do so!

      Omaar's rant is "beyond belief"!
      Hopefully all bloggers on this political website would not adopt the Barack Obama type of simplistic comment such as - this blogger is just a typical (you fill in the blanks here).

      • Posted By: Pia1981 @ 07/25/2008 8:01:03 AM

        Davole, after all the lies and smears by McCain supporters against Obama, we Obama supporters have every right to fight back. We post facts, not smears nor lies. Bobby Jindal is not his real name. Omaar is well informed and he knows what he's doing. Are you actually expecting me to defend McCain? It's politics.

      Merci beaucoup!

      Oh, by the way, have you noticed any Obama photo-ops in which he actually competently spoke any foreign language as he travelled on in his magic mystery tour?

      It appears as though Obama is just being one of those ignorant Americans which he previously criticized for not knowing how to speak any foreign language.

      You state to another blogger - "I would also Suggest that if you don't like what You Read, Don't Read It !!"

    "What emerges is a world view that is far from that of a typical liberal, much closer to that of a traditional realist." What's the typical liberal? Because most of the liberals I know have a very realistic world view. In fact, the most famous liberal, Michael Moore, was in FAVOR of the Afghanistan war. Was the unrealistic? Was it wishful thinking to believe that Saddam Hussein was contained and posed no threat to the US? Please, tell me what a typical liberal believes.

    "What is he pretending to be"

    it remains to be SEEN, exactly what his Objectives are ?

    Only PiYush "Bobby" Jindal could Answer that Question.


    All I do is gather the facts and Copy Paste, for Your Consumption....

    You Decide PiYush "Bobbyy" Jindal's Objectives or Agenda is ?

    I Know his Chosen Nick Name Bobby, is Not his Legal Name and that PiYush Jindal is...

    Thats for sure.

    Fareed zakaria uses his Real, Legal Birth Name...Tha I Truly Respect.


    Urban Legend or Folklore has it, that jindal would watch the "Brady Bunch" anf Loved the name "Bobby" as in the charecter ...........Bobby Brady

    Obama supporters = Kerry supporters = Gore Supporters = Dukakis supporters. Hmmmm. Kerry and Gore and Dukakis led the polls in July by 6+ points. Don't look now....but Obama's "HUGE" lead is now down to 3 points (see Gallop). Translation? Remember: This is the same nation that re-elected an unpopular George Bush in an unpopular war just 3 1/2 years ago. - McCain will win in November

    Obama, who has been elevated by the main stream media to not just Presidential, but Papal status, hit a snag today when, of all people, Katie Couric pinned him down with an actual tough question about the Troop Surge.

    She asked him four times about his position on the surge and what things would be like if it had not taken place (as he desired.) He ducked. He dodged. Then He that Walks on Water ducked and dodged some more. It was a beatiful thing to watch.

    t's ironic that a woman (instead of accompaning achors Charlie Gibson and Brian Williams) had the balls to ask B.H.O. an actual hard question!

    Suddenly, I'm in Love wtih Katie Couric!

                Nice to meet you, too. Ahhhh, Italy! My sister spent two weeks there. After going through her album of photos, I instantly moved Italy to the top of my list to travel. What a beautiful country!

                Now, if I can just find the time to go....

                  Skypoint, you really need to travel to Italy. It's an overwhelming experience. Esp. visiting The Vatican and esp. the Sistine Chapel. You will get chills, it's so beautiful and serene. I like your username, btw.

                    Pia, I got chills just looking at my sister's pictures! They went to many places, and had nothing but beautiful things to say about your native country. I watched "Under the Tuscan Sun" a week ago (I actually own that movie!) and think Tuscany is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Have your been there?

                    Thanks for the compliment... Some time ago I managed broadcast time for a satellite company. 'Skypoint' was one of their birds. You've got a great name.... unusual and beautiful!

                      Good evening skypoint. I just now saw your comments.

                      Yes, Tuscany is beautiful indeed. I was in Tuscany as a small child so I can't recall much of it. Your sister must have enjoyed it very much. You should travel there someday.

                      Thanks for complimenting me on my name.

                      Sky, I know this post was for Pia, but I had to reply because Tuscany is very beautiful indeed and they have great wine and great food. The best T-bone steak I had was in Florence. I ate it with a nice bottle of chianti, sounds kinda Hannibal Lectorish. Florence is a very beautiful city with MANY great works of art. Michelangelo's David is there.

                        Rad, thanks for the heads up. Tuscany was the high point of my sister's trip. I didn't know Michelangelo's David was there, that's something I'd love to see in person. You'll have to give me the name of the restaurant you were at in Florence!

          • Posted By: raddave @ 07/23/2008 11:59:53 PM

            He actually cannot speak German. He only knows the lyrics to the Rammstein song "Du Hast" He will just say that over an over again. It will be awesome because the American press wil think Obama is so wonderful because he can speak in the host countries language. The Germans will be so drunk that they will not be able to understand him. And a McCain spokesman will say that Obama is a Nazi and he is actually giving one of Hitler's most famous speaches.

              Well to me a "radical" would be someone who actually believes that McCain is an alien or that Obama is the antichrist. I admit that I do have liberal views on many issues, but not all.

              I do believe in the 2nd ammendment. I personally do not own a gun, I had a .357 once, but sold it when my daughter was born, and since I do live on an Army post, I am pretty secure. But if I lived in some cities I would think about getting a gun. And if you want one, then have at it.

              I do not believe in the death penalty in its current form, not because I am against the death penalty, but I think it doesn't do its indended purpose, which is to deter crimes. And, it doesn't cover enough crimes. i.e. child rapists I do believe that we should have a balanced budget ammendment. I believe that our Government wastes too much money on useless crap. I do not believe gays should be married in the biblecal sense, but should have a type of civil union to give them certain legal rights. I do not believe that all wars are unjustified. I believe in a strong miltary, but it should be used VERY wisely. I do believe that if more drilling would actually bring the cost of oil down and the oil companies would actually do something to reduce the price of oil then by all means drill more. see not so radical

      • Posted By: raddave @ 07/23/2008 9:58:53 PM

        Probably for the same reason they edited the statements by McCain saying that the Sunni Awakening started after the surge began, when it in fact started before? Did you see the press conference that McCain held today in the dairy Isle of a supermarket? I don't know, it looked kinda "cheesey" to me.

    I am going to write in my Uncle, Robert Lewis Simpson, KIA Aug, 28, 1962. He was the first Air Force Pilot to be killed in 'Nam. Why? His first day in country. Had the VP's nephew in his back seat as a trainer, and his body was never found. What say you Obama and McCain? He had flown 67 missions in Korea in the Sabre, and they say his body was " washed away" by the currents in the Delta.

    He is listed on the first panel of the Vietnam Memorial as POW/MIA/KIABFD. \

    He left a Wife, five Children, A Brother, three niecees and nephews, two devasted Parents, and a world of hurt.

    My question is who has the choice of who lives and who dies. I would rather have a Commander-in-Chief who was given an out at the Hanoi Hilton and who said, " **** ***".

    John McCain seriously violated the Military Code of Conduct by trading "military information" and making numerous public statements that appeared favorable to the communist war effort in exchange for "special treatment."

  • Posted By: MartinCarmel @ 07/23/2008 4:38:37 AM

    Obama is THE scam artist of the century. Clearly....and so many stupid Americans are buying into the media BRAIN-WASHING. But the reaility is that Kerry has a 6 point Gallop Poll lead over Bush in 2004 in July. Obama has a 6 point lead over McCain. America.....which elected an unpopular Bush in 2004 will elect McCain. No all Americans are as naive as it seems. Watch it unfold and listen for the paranoid liberals who will claim a fraudulant electin when McCain wins.

    • Posted By: Cloudosmoke @ 07/23/2008 7:35:59 AM

      Not all Americans are as naive as you my friend. You are willing to put up with more war, more soldiers' deaths, higher inflation, higher gas prices, more mortgage crises. McCain can't reach across the aisle because his own people are against him. He has no stance that benefits anyone. What makes you think McCain will be the one to bring us out of this nightmare we're in. If anything we'll be worse off. If that's what you want then fine.

      • Posted By: Zombiehero @ 07/23/2008 9:08:17 AM

        Hey wake up call buddy.....YOUR candidate, Obama, wants more war in Afghanistan. That means more deaths, more war, higher inflation and higher gas prices....
        Please elaborate with some facts or links to why you think the GOP won't back a McCain Presidency....your trying to change narrative but I wont let you....Obama has NO history of reaching across partisan lines in the Senate. McCain has a record of Legislation co-sponsored with Democrats that have PASSED the Senate and House and signed into Law....keep your head in the sand buddy.
        Obama is wrong, just like he was wrong back in 2007, introducing Legislation to bring all the troops back by March 2008. He won't admit to his mistakes even when Couric pressed him on it....did you see that interview...Obama looked lost.

        • Posted By: Cloudosmoke @ 07/23/2008 9:30:09 AM

          Believe you me, I'm awake. Afghanistan was left wide open when we invaded and currently occupy Iraq. As a matter of fact, there were so many problems still left unsolved in Afghanistan that our own troops shot and killed one of their own because they were caught off guard (Pat Tillman). Let's not play politics here, let's be true to the statements. Senator Cochran R from Mississippi said something like he sends cold chills down his spine in regards to McCain potentially being the GOP nominee; Santorum of PA didn't like him, there are many GOP senators that disliked McCain and still have reservations, but that you can find out on your own.

          As for me trying to change the narrative, that's your story. I'm laying out details and truths in these blogs.

          As for Obama reaching across the aisle, ask Senator Hagle if he would disagree. And you also may want to ask Arnold too. I don't see any Dems backing McCain. The rest of your statement is history at this point seeing how McCain and his past speak of crooked talk is left unnoticed. Come debate time we'll see what happens.

            You state that you don't see any Dems supporting McCain.

            Have you already transferred the vast disenchanted sector of the 18 million Hillary supporters to the Republican camp, and no longer regard them as democrats?

              Davole, no, the majority of Hillary supp. will vote Obama.

              Hey Davole you found us on another article, glad to have you back. I'm leaving Friday and will be in the U.P eh! Can't wait, missed going last 2 years due to daughter getting married and then awaiting first contractions so we could dead head to DC in hopes of arriving before first grand baby arrived. First grandbaby was only reason I would give up my trip to the U. P.
              Anyway I wanted to say Hi before I said bye for about a week. Where we g go- no internet, no computer not TV and we LOVE it that way.

              Wasn't referring to the disenfranchised. I was referring to political figures. The disenfranchised will return... Oh yes, they will return. And that was with my best Spock look. =)

            Afghanistan is a wreck because of Bush's mismanagement but also it's a NATO operation. So lay some of the blame on the Canadians, French, etc...and if you remember history we did go into Afghanistan and deposed the Taliban. Which is what we went there to do.

            And the list of people that don't like Obama is growing...he just hasn't been around long enough for people to get to know him. Remember that failed promise of unity?
            And hell some of the right wing nutjobs not liking McCain is a bonus for McCain for me....the Hannity's, Coultures, Rush's hating McCain just makes me like him ever more....because he has a record of Bipartisanship.
            Ask Arnold what? He backs McCain, Arnold is a model of what a Leader should be, worked with both sides to get the job done..Arnold isn't so much a Republican but a moderate Centrist with right leanings....I'm the same but with left leanings...that's the way to get things done...not partisanship....and for all Obama's talk of post-partisanship...I have yet to see him Walk the Talk. Can you name some legislation?
            McCain: McCain-Feingold, Gang of 14, Immigration Bill of 2007.....
            Barry: ....oh wait there was that watered down Nuclear regulation in the Illinois Senate.....oh yeah...watered down by Excelon lobbyists....

            Yes I can't wait for Debate time....did you see Barry stammer when questioned by Katie Couric last night?

              I meant I missed the Couric interview.

    Being old enough to remember the previous presidencies and the failure to understand Vietnam's civil way and the fact that the United States supported a ruling family on the same level as Sadam Hussein in how people were treated--I find this examination of Obama's foreign policy beliefs very interesting and it give me some comfort in voting for him. I am not particularly impressed with the history of our foreign policy. People complain about illegal immigrants but how many of these people are here because US governments interfered in or supported terrorism, death camps, and disappearances in El Salvador, Columbia, and thorough its past actions Mexico? The American people are on the whole good and want to help the world but we have little undersanding patience with the fact that not every country will become a democracy an have the "right" thoughts overnight. I am not looking forward to this election, we have not gotten exemplary candidates this time or really ever. But, perhaps once in office whoever wins will turn out to be better than we think he or she can be presently.

      You're right, its slim pickings. Hillary was stronger than either of these two

      • Posted By: Pia1981 @ 07/23/2008 8:45:14 AM

        Yes, Hillary was so strong she lost 11 states in a row. She lost a total of 35 states to Obama.

        • Posted By: Richard1327 @ 07/23/2008 6:31:13 PM

          SHE WON THE POPULAR VOTE.

          • Posted By: Pia1981 @ 07/24/2008 4:11:56 PM

            NO SHE DID NOT WIN THE POPULAR VOTE. OBAMA WON IT. Hillary lost even with Michigan. She would have lost with Fla too.

    Can Americans elect their officials calm like all the rest world does?!!

    • Posted By: raddave @ 07/24/2008 3:55:48 PM

      Calm like recent elections in Zimbabwe and Pakistan?

    • Posted By: Pia1981 @ 07/24/2008 8:27:40 AM

      As you can see, no. Americans have passion! Passion= love=life.

    Well written and factually accurate. I agree, both candidates have shown they deserve to be considered. Obama just represents something new and refreshing, which we have not seen in politics in a very very long time (think Teddy Roosevelt). He definitely will have to put out a lot of fires once elected though, considering the mess leftover from the Bush Admininstration...

    • Posted By: raddave @ 07/24/2008 3:42:00 PM

      I am an Obama supporter also. I just cannot stand the hatred that is being shown on both sides of the debate. This will NEVER unify this country and will just lead to the same thing that has happened the last 16 years and that is a stagnate Government that is too concerned with their party's interests and not the interests of our country. That is why George Washington was against political parties and hoped they would never be formed here.

    It is interesting that John Mccain has spent throughout this election campaign calling Obama has lacking experience etc etc...I am so angry that tis man john mccain as no experience whattsoevr, because he did, the US wont be a war, he would know the difference between Iraq and the Afganistan border..he would know the difference betwen the shites and the shia..he would know the difference between the czech republic and the slovakia as two separate countries. Gosh, when listen to John Mccain surrogates and people like Rep Thune, my stomach churn because how can they open their mouths and critize Obama when their candidate has not done a damn thing for this nation. He has been in the senate for ever, what has he done for America...oh he was a prisoner of war...or he was in the military..so was I , so were many, and many that were not born with silver spoons...John Mccain is in no way presidentila..He is boring, senile, and for the simple fact that Obama is an African American, there would not be a poll that shows any closeness but we are in America and it would a miracle before many Americans would ever see beyond color. Republicans know John Mccain is an extension of George BUsg, but they must rally around him even when they know, he sucks!! if any one i willing t lose a war in order to win a policitcal campaigns, are the Republicans. When lies and exegerations are now called "misspoke" instead of lies....when timeline of the surge known by the world is different than those to John Mccain...The poll is not close..in any catergory..John Mccain is not worthy of being our president. I dont want to see him putting leaders of other nations to sleep with his boring rhetorics.

    • Posted By: raddave @ 07/24/2008 3:03:59 PM

      Attacking and blaming McCain will not get Obama elected. Both candidates have shown they deserve to be considered to be President. Saying we would not be at war if McCain wasn't in the senate is insane. WE were attacked on 9/11.

    1. We had No Legal Right to be there, in the 1st Damn Place...

    2. The Nationalities of the People who Piloted those (911 Plane Attacks) were Mainly Consisted of Saudia Arabia & The United Arab Emirates and we Still do Big Oil Business with Both those Countries. We are Not Bombing either Country and We say, they are our "Greatest Middleast Allies" and that they need our Support & Protection !!!

    3. Bush Jr. Had The Saudia Arabians & Bin Laden Famiy Members, FBI Clearenced and Flown Home, during a Time Air Flight was prohibted.

    4. The Bush Family & Bin Laden Families have an Over 25 year Relationship, that still Exist to this day !!!

    5. The Saudia Arabian & United Arab Emirates Countries have NEVER BEEN TOUCHED and to this DAY, have NOT been Bombarded with Military Air Strikes or Military Brigades from the USA or Britain, they are Considered Our....

    "Allies Of the Middle East"

    6. Look at Television for the Big Dubai Classics of Professional Tennis & Golf, in the United Arab Emirates..."Our Allies"

    7. Bush Helped Facilitate the Dubai Ports Deal, where the United Arab Emirates Control Our Major Ports and that includes NY, NJ and Miami and Bill Clinton helped Brokere this Dubai Ports Deal.....

    You Closed minded Suckers !!!

    Note: The Political Party Rivalry is a Sham, The Bush & Clinton Families are Not Enemies, they are Family Vacationing Friends....

    They are All (CFR Members)

    Thats the Council on Foreign Relations.

    McCain & Obama are also (CFR Members)

    Barack Obama is Blood related to George Bush (11th Cousin) and D!ck Cheney (8th Cousin)

    John McCain is Blood Related to Laura Bush (Blood Cousins)

    David Rockefeller: He Controls the CFR and David Rockefeller Controls the USA. David Rockefeller Controls who will be the Next President of the USA and that is a Natural Born American Fact, he Controls Chase Manhattan, Bear & Sterns & Most of All, the Federal Reserve Bank and thats just the way it is and thats the way it will be !!!

    And David Rockefeller is a Well Known and Unashmed and Unapologetic Capitalist & Socialist.


    Learn People.....


    He who Makes the Gold, in this case the (US Dollar)...

    Makes and Sets the RULES, Sets the Agenda and Makes WARS, as they CHOOSE !!!

        Uhm, you can be a political rival and not hate your opponent. Do you remember Tip O'neill, Democratic Speaker of the House during the Regan years? He and Regan had a very heated political rivalry, but they were friends. As Regan said, they were friends "only after 5:00 PM"

        • Posted By: Skypoint @ 07/24/2008 9:26:27 AM

          I agree to an extent, as in B41 and Clinton appearing together for the same agenda. But the Clintons and the Bushes vacationing together. Not! I'm sure we would have seen some paparazzi photos....

            They just hide under their Secret Service issued invasibility cloaks. I did see them together at a Rolling Sones Concert. I tried getting a picture of them, but the Secret Service confisgated my camera.

    Bill Maher said, "Show me a man wearing an American flag pin in his lapel, and I'll show you an ***."

    It looks like McCain is listening to the pundits. I haven't seen him wearing a flag lapel pin.

    • Posted By: Davole @ 07/24/2008 10:50:56 AM

      Cloudosmoke -

      Your reference to Bill Maher "explains everything".
      So, that's where democrats get their talking points and "take" on the news!
