Did he mention the wonderful virtues of amnesty for 30 million illegals?

For who? termites
Indirectly. He spoke about how we're all God's children and U.S. citizens, including the children of "migrant works".
While true, that these are human beings, it was an obvious restatement of his open borders crap.

I agree. He would not have been my first choice (or the 10th for that fact), but compared to BHO? You have got to be kidding me.....
I also thought that those videos they showed really sucked.
"Sarah Palin: Mom, Moose Hunter, Maverick" -- I kid you not, that's an actual quote, stated in one of those deep professional announcer voices.
Then the McCain video:
"Some say he has a hot temper. ..." and
"Cindy was at a party and met a handsome navy officer." [who happened to be married at the time and ended up committing adultery and, technically bigamy, with her -- having ditched his first wife whom he abandoned because she was injured and disfigured in an auto accident even though she stayed faithful to him while he was a POW for 6 years]
"He was 41 and said he was 37. She was 24 and said she was 27." In other words, they're both liars.

That speech was directed at the undecided independents and mushy-middle voters, not the conservative base. When viewed in that light, I think he did a good job on it.
He needs that middle group to win, he can't win by going hard-core neocon - the middle will then just look at him as Bush III and he will have no chance.
Frankly, even with all his flaws I'd MUCH rather have him than Obama!!

I see. I will not vote for that traitorous piece of dung, nor the piece of traitorous dung he is running against, since that would make me a traitor!

What are you talking about? McCain might as well have been Chamberlain up there trying to appease Obama.

Generally the SOS I've witnessed in every election since Nixon/Humphrey, except Hanoi John and Vladmir Obama are the worse candidates ever.
If you can't play rubes on greed or lust, you play them on themes of honor and patriotism. Anyone who buys into this packaged media garbage deserves to lose their freedoms.
There's no solutions with the dem/repub party and in 4 years it'll be the exact same s**t again.
Get ready to be joined by 10's millions of voting foreigners, but of course then your vote will be even more valuable.
The friggin war hasn't even started yet and these idiots are proclaiming victory in Iraq, as Iraq milks us for more fiat currency as they build a asset economy and WE rebuild them. And it's pathetic how the neo-cons had to distance themselves from Bush Jr. who's left yet another mess for someone else to clean up.
The Dem/repub party are todays version of the Kings loyalists. Better to voluntarily suck the known than risk the unknown.
We are a disgrace to the Founders.

This too shall pass.
I thought it was a great speech, too -- I don't think I've ever listened to him give a speech before (I don't normally watch TV); is he usually this good of a speaker?
But I did notice the allusions to the one-world thing, and also the total absence of any mention of securing our borders. Those are both extremely important issues-- why can't these lifetime politicians understand that?

McCain/Palin have my vote!
No one expected YOU to enjoy it.
Well, I can't stand Obama either, yet his speeches are not dull in their delivery (even if lacking and offensive in their substance).
Ah, but he did mention his open borders stuff (indirectly).
They don't "understand" that because they don't give a flip about what you think since they know they have your vote in their hip pocket. If more people wouldn't vote for these globalist stooges, they might actually have to get up there and at least pretend as if they cared.

Actually the speech accomplished 4 things
1-He stold away Obama's theme of change
2-He stold away Hillary's theme of I'll Fight for YOU
3-Addressed educational needs, medical, and the economy
4-Made Americans PROUD to choose him
Not to shore up his base, although I'm sure it did, but to appeal to the undecided and independents.

Loved how McCain pointed out how everytime he tried to be a maverick, it blew up in his face. Also, how he tried to pretend that he's different from the president he has supported 95% of the time. And, of course, how he'll "allow" Americans to decide how to "invest" their money instead of being forced to have Social Security.
But, the best moment came after the speech when former PA governor Ridge called the speech maker, "JOHN BUSH."
Fantastic night.

I think it was a great and revealing speech. No other Presidential nominee has ever said he had be tortured by an enemy of America and broke. Mr. McCain was tortured by the NVA, and they did much more to him than put underwear on his head and make faces at him. He walked the walk, and I respect him for it and for his honesty.
As a leader, he chose Sarah Palin, knowingly and freely. And I respect him for that.
You know the tree by its fruits.
I will fight about secondary issues at later times.
In the end, it comes down to character. And McCain Palin are head and shoulders above the other choice.

There's no reason to watch socialist scum that I will not vote for. Seems a waste of time.
If he said anything other than Viva La Raza, I want your guns, I want your rights, then he was lying to get your vote.
The devil always has something tempting to offer you in exchange for your soul.

Anyone who listened to this speech and doesn't think that McCain is honest and a hero is insane. Whether you think he should be president is another matter, but you have to respect him.
My problem with some of the above posts is that they seem to think that getting along with your fellow Americans HAS to be a bad thing (bipartisan is automatically considered a dirty word)! Why is it wrong for McCain to respect Obama as a fellow American? I know alot of Democrats (and over-zealous Republicans who I disagree with) who are very warm people and love America, and it''s NEVER bad to respect them.
Calling McCain (not McPain or McSame or any other such trash) a traitorous piece of dung is totally out of bounds and wrong, and certainly isn't in the spirit of the Constitution or the founding fathers (or Ron Paul, since to some of you he's the Alpha and Omega of America these days). McCain is NOT a traitor, and Obama (probably) isn't either.
Men can do what they think is right for their country and still be wrong, but I at least still respect them for doing what they THINK is right.

Agreed. Two historical events tonight; McCain's speech, which I missed because MY MOTHER called me and I came out of the closet as a Republican in a socialist/democrat family after years of hiding it.
There's a post phone call bounce going on in my extended family right now that should put me out of the next Thanksgiving family gathering, maybe all of them. That's okay, I'll eat my holiday suppers elsewhere.

Of five remarks about Obama, one was gracious, four critical.
Of course my post was not about the speech directly, but the difference between the two platforms..
Take your anti American bullshit and stuff it, most here have your agenda by now, and speaking for myself, I'm about sick of hearing it.
Appease Obama? what speech were you listening to??

Well, at least he won't be creating permanent jobs at the IRS mailing tax rebate checks to the lowest tax payers in the country while the rest of us 1)pay for the rebates and 2) pay for the people to manage the disbursement of said rebates.
Excellent
Being in bed with La Raza isn't a traitorous act? He is waiving the flag of another country! Whether or not he knows it is wrong is a mute point. Ignorance is no excuse when committing a crime.
