How long after he left the podium did it come off?

I would say no more than 5 to 10 seconds.

"you know, the truth is that right after 9/11, i had a pin. shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we're talking about the iraq war, that became a substitute for i think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, i decided i won't wear that pin on my chest. instead i'm going to try to tell the american people what i believe will make this country great, and hopefully that will be a testimony to my patriotism."

because clearly this country sucks and only bammy can make it great.

Why couldn't he tall us what he believes and wear a pin? They're not mutually exclusive.

because then he might be seen as one of those yokels who actually thinks the united states is a decent place, rather than as the knowing bammy who recognizes what a miserable failure this country is and will be unless he's handed the controls.

As great as it is, the nation is still a work-in-progress.

I think you're getting a little desperate here. A pin? You're going to go after Obama for wearing a pin!? Is it really THAT important? With everything else going on, it all comes down to a friggin pin!? hahaha!

The pin was given to him by a veteran at the event.

Wait--I'm unclear: Does taking the pin from a disabled vet and wearing it on-camera constitute PANDERING?

Or would it only be PANDERING if Hillary Clinton did it?

Does taking the pin from a disabled vet and wearing it on-camera constitute DOING ANYTHING TO GET ELECTED?

Or would it only be DOING ANYTHING TO GET ELECTED if Hillary Clinton did it?

Does taking the pin from a disabled vet and wearing it on-camera make him a BITCH?

Or would he only be a BITCH if he were Hillary Clinton?

No.
No, it wouldn't be if she did it.
No, it shows respect for the veteran who gave it to him.
No. See above.
No.
No.

But if Hillary takes a shot of Crown Royal, she's pandering?

I'm still confused.

I don't think she was pandering when she did that, either. She was campaigning. As is he.

McCain! All you have to do is watch him to see TRUE pandering at its finest. Or at its worst, I think would be more appropriate.

I think it is pandering and tacky (pun intended). He can do better than this BS.

And what is that Mejust? Refuse to accept the offered gift? Accept the gift, which is to be worn a a lapel and quickly stuff it in his pocket? Look at it quizzically and bite it to see what it is made of? He did what anyone would do in that situation. What my Grandmother did when I gave her a gaudy pin I bought at the Five and Dime. Graciously accepted the gift and pinned it on. So what if it came off out of sight of the giver?

I have thought about it, and thought about it and thought about it.

And the deduction is: Nope. The distraction machine won't work. The Democrats are still going to win the election this year.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali
