Where was McCain's Flag Lapel Pin?

[AspenGrow]

Well, where was it? He's not an American if he doesn't wear that pin, didn't you pay attention a few months ago?!?! HE HATES HIS COUNTRY AND REFUSES TO WEAR IT BECAUSE HE HATES US. But wait, maybe his 5,000 dollar costing makeup artist decided it clashed with his 400 dollar straight-from-italy shoes.

Keep smokin'! :jointsmile:

there is a big difference:

mccain never had a policy not to wear the flag pin....obama did:

It doesn't matter if Obama wears a little flag on his chest, I couldn't care less really. If one of the biggest concerns this election for you is whether or not Obama wears a tiny flag on his chest, then maybe you need to take a look at the bigger picture. :stoned:



Thanks Obama, because I couldn't care less about some little flag on some politicians chest.

Patriotism doesn't = a pin on your chest.

Patriotism = love for your country and the willingness to sacrifice for it. Both candidates have sacrificed a lot to get to where they are, they're both patriotic in my eyes.

But patriotism doesn't define one's ability to lead our country, at least not in the form of a dumbass pin.

In case I'm being interpreted as calling McCain out or something, I'm really just making fun of the fact that it's really, really, really retarded to think that a stupid little pin is actually an issue of patriotism in a campaign that is as serious as a freaking heart attack (which if McCain has, BTW, would put a seriously un-ready VP into the main slot of power in America :cursing: )

I cant believe theres a thread about this.....

[killerweed420]

McCain and Palin are secretly Islamic terrorists. They hate this country. They are going to make this a religious state by declaring marshall law the day after inauguration . RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!

"If one of the biggest concerns this election for you is whether or not Obama wears a tiny flag on his chest, then maybe you need to take a look at the bigger picture."

- i admired obama's principled stand against the patriotic puffery and jingoism behind the flag waving for war



"It doesn't matter if Obama wears a little flag on his chest"

- it mattered to obama because he abandoned his principles and put the pin back on...little sell outs like that make him look weak...selling out his pastor...selling out his plan to end the cuba embargo...selling out the decriminalization of marijuana...the repubs know they can push him around...i think mccain in the white house would be a disaster for the world, but it would also be a disappointment to have another 'bill clinton' who caves into republicans and corporate interests...obama sure seems like the best thing going, but he's just one guy who can't even stick to a pin decision

stick...pin...see what i did there?

[maladroit]

sure it's a sell out...there was a principle behind not wearing the pin (true patriotism), and when the rightwingnuts accused him of being anti-american (false patriotism), obama opted for the false patriotism...it's the same tactic used to bully people into supporting the same war he refused to wear the pin for

it makes me wonder what he going to do when he's accused of being a socialist for ensuring everyone has access to health care, or when he's accused of being a soft-on-crime drugpusher to kids for legalizing medical marijuana...dem dum dems have been letting us down

DISCLAIMER: obama can't do whatever his principles dictate because he fears the consequences of his principles

I'm sorry but u dont seem to live in the practical world.

Obama needs to win the nation, not the liberal leaning crowd only. they are already supporting him and have no other choice but to avoid vote which will in either case work against their ideas.

UNDECIDED voters are at stake.

and without flexibility to shut up critics (no matter how stupid the criticism, its shown that it so works on a lot of americans) in the eyes of dumb crowd who believe what they see and hear without even analyzing it, he aint gonna get the votes he needs.

Yes, this is politics and its a game and u sure do have to play the game or u will be a nobody in politics.

u cant risk and u cant let small things drag u down. look @ mccain, even he has had to change some of his words and policies. so imo this is the nature of this process especially when stakes are high like now. expect more flip flops to show up and far more serious ones from both sides.

DISCLAIMER: obama can't do whatever his principles dictate because he fears the consequences of his principles

i doubt it. its not a provable claim. its just your opinion.

and in real world its called compromise. u put a flag pin up, just so u avoid negative comments thrown @ ya. it wont hurt wearing the pin and no1 has defined it in any way and its not a principle issue... idk why such small things are made into big deals.... its the anti-obama crowd who start these things and now that they are over it u start it off again...

this whole thing is just pointless

Through my research I've only found one thing disturbing about him. And thats who paid for all his college? It appears a Saudi rich man paid for it but its still unclear. He's supposed to be islamic. Which isn't that big of deal. He had connections with Khalid Al-Mansour.

Don't know that it really means anything but there were definitely people behind Obama that led to him being a fast riser.

Percy Sutton, who revealed information about Obama on NY1 TV cable news, is a name very familiar to anybody who lived in New York City during the 1960's through 1980's. He was elected Manhattan Borough President in 1965, ran for nomination of mayoral candidate of NYC, legally represented Malcolm X, owned NYC radio station WLIB, produced Showtime at the Apollo, and was a significant force in Harlem politics for many years. He is a very reliable source in this matter.
