“But… but I was a POW!”

Last question today, class:

Assume a person is able to stay AWOL from flying an F-102 fighter-bomber that he was unqualified to train in for 2 years and yet become president (if only figurehead) for 8 years.

Assume a second person crashes 5 of the A-10 fighter-bombers that he flies, but was unqualifed to train in as he nearly flunked out of college. Also assume the second person was a P.O.W for 5 years but only sang to his captors for 1 year and given preferential treatment by them for 3 years.

Question: Is the IQ (Idiocy Quotient) of the 2nd person higher or lower than the first person?

Alright, “Math Department”, if that’s your real name. I thought Math was about getting hard, clear facts straight. This is pathetic.

The F-102 was most certainly NOT a “fighter-bomber”. It lacked that capability entirely. It was a “fighter-interceptor”. It is an interesting footnote to history that it was, however, the only interceptor in history to fire an air-to-air missile at a ground target. That does not, unfortunately, make it a fighter-bomber.

And John McCain did not fly A-10s. A-10s are an Air Force CAS aircraft. McCain was in the Navy. They have NEVER flown an A-10 off a carrier, and they never will. It’s not designed to do that, and it is simply impossible to consider.

McCain flew the A-4 Skyhawk, the Kiddiecar “scooter” of tiny, shit-for-payload, nothing for combat radius fighter bomber…

Seems like you should get the parameters of the question right before asking about the “idiot quotient”….

mikey

And with that, the comments in this thread tips over into 400 territory. Someone had to do it.

Wither? You brought her.

You answer this question: why has John McCain stayed in the low 40s since April, when he was announced as the presumptive Republican nominee? Hell, he was in the low forties when the contest was still going on (back when all the dummies were asking for Huckabee to step aside). The pollsters were always bullshitting when it came to McCain and the rest of the GOP bozos. None of them fit the stringent criteria of the GOP sycophants, “religious” flim-flammers, and the confused warhawks. The only reason McCain won the whole damned thing is because the dopes voting remembered that he’d run back in ’04. Oh, there’s also the fact that Guiliani, whom the media was promoting, is a totalitarian troll. Then there’s Romney, whom the White House itself was pushing, being a complete square that would go on and attempt to lift Obama’s change message after criticizing it.

Why can’t McCain climb any higher? Why is he always stuck in that exact same position: low 40s? He never goes up or down; he just stays there. Could it be bullshit that he’s even that high? I think so. I’ve already given you my reasons for ignoring the busybodies making their careers supposedly “polling” people, but I’m sure some here besides your dorky ass actually buy them.

Your attempts at second-guessing us here are cute. I do not frequent Daily Kos, but I’m not sure whether others here do in their own time. Again, try not to think you have the mental or intellectual capacity to anticipate what we’ll react to, ok. You’re much too much of a douche to actually outmaneuver us here, dork.

Read how every major polling site, including 538 and pollster (to name two that I’ve seen trumpeted here in the past) shows Obama slipping in the polls. Feel free to join in posting in the general gloom and dismay with your fellow liberals – it’s easy and will provide me and other Americans with delightful reading material.

NC asks why Obama is dropping if the damage from Ayers and Wright is done. Good question – I think it has to do with that ridiculous trip to Europe and the dawning realization among voters that Obama is so much hot air, an empty suit that they’ve been projecting upon. I welcome discussion on this point, as well as juvenile invective that shows I’ve hit the mark.

Was that supposed to register as a proper taunt?

Yeah, I went to that red-headed dork’s blog, posted a couple of roundhouses to the dorks, and was blocked, as anticipated.

The dimwits cradle themselves in stupidity and cowardice, as all con-servatives do.

What I’m asking is who the hell are they over there trying to convince. They all know that half the shit they’re saying ain’t true, but they’ve convinced themselves that the lies make relevant arguments.

They are truly lost.

Now if I was Amy Alkon I would POINT POINT POINT.

And what polls are those that predict Johnny will win? Wingtards must be suffering from dyslexia, en masse.

Thanks for the laugh! But where will all this anger go when (as the polls predict) McCain wins in November?

Have a sweet night, ladies.

DN, you can chest thump and throw imbecilic insults all you like – in fact I encourage you to do so. I read through the Kos comments on how poorly Obama is doing and I know you liberals are worried. That makes my day, DN, and I relish how sweet Nov 5 is going to be.

Fuck off, you hacktacular pencil-dicked piece of shit. You bring nothing to the table other than flopsweat. You’re a waste of bandwidth and a waste of my fucking time. You’re pathetic. Eat shit, fuck off, die, and leave an ugly corpse. Beat it, crapface.
