If I hear John McCain say "my
friends" one more time...well, actually, I'll do nothing, because I
know he'll say it again so I'd just be setting myself up.
Since John McCain was announced the "presumptive nominee" by President
George W. Bush and the National GOP in March, McCain has sent out
e-mails to registered Republicans in which he used the phrase "my friends"
11 times. And he doesn't send out e-mails that often. The most
recent e-mail from the McCain camp - today's - used "my friends" three
times, an all-time high since McCain was announced the nominee over fellow
Republican contenders Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul.
As far as his
speeches go, there's just no telling how many times he's said "my friends"
over the past year+, let alone how many references to his actual
friends McCain has made - I have neither the time nor the patience to
count it, but trust me, it's in abundance. I checked out Google
Video & YouTube to see if there were any good remixes of McCain and
his "friends" references, but just found a couple of short
ones.
Doesn't it sound like Newspeak? Why doesn't
he just call us "comrades" and be done with it? Okay, ConnieTalk.com
