Another gaffe - McCain unsure whether condoms prevent STDs

More and more it seems that McCain is suffering from age related dementia. Poor man it must be horrible for him to fear the big moment where all the world sees McCain as a deer in the headlights.

The guy is old. You can't blame him for getting a little confused. The thing is, that doesn't really fly when you're the leader of a country.

yes, but does he even have a brain? I am not sure anymore and I don't think it is about age. He is a #1 jerk.

He finished 985 out of 989 in his class at the US Naval Academy. Both his Father and Grandfather were admirals in the US Navy. He's an idiot. Can we just get an idiot every other term? We the people demand some smarts in our leadership.

Incredible. What does that man have in place of a brain?

And this man wants to be president?! Maybe he should take a 6th grade sex ed class...

this is a no brainer what he needs is a nap.

Voting this up. Don't want people to think we stop McCain stories getting to the front page or anything.

"I'm sure I've taken a position on it in the past," he stammered as he looked to his communications director. "I'm sure I'm opposed to government funding."

Would we let a mentaly unfit senior citizen become a school bus teacher? HELL NO! So why would we put one behind the "Big Red Button" (nukes)???????

God help us if this decaying shell of a politician gains office!

He wasn't confused, this is just another example of him thinking one thing, but knowing that he needs to pretend to think another to get into office.

This man's arrogance that he could lead this country is frightening. He is ignorant and not very intelligent.

Worse things have been kept from the American public by our government.

During one televised speech Reagan forgot his own name and you could here Nancy whisper it to him. Do you wonder why Reagan was pronounced with advanced Alzheimer's so soon after leaving office?

So this is what qualifies McCain as a "maverick" these days... a frightening hybrid of confusion, dishonesty, and political calculation... The Straight Talk Express rolls on!

he is so out of touch with the younger generation. i don't hear him talking about issues that are affecting his grandchildren (does he have any? hope not..)

He's never thought about contraception? What kind of poor excuse for a presidential candidate is he? Oh right, the greedy old people kind.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and doubly so when there ain't no cure. However, the answer to the question above, unfortunately, is maybe.

John McCain is truly an idiot. I've never heard a politician say "I don't know" as many times as he does. The man is obvioulsy uneducated on the majority of issues facing America and the world. It is no longer hard for me to believe that people in this country are dumb enough to vote for McCain, because most voted for Bush twice and there are still those who consider McCain to be a diffrent type of Republican. It is truly sad that so many Americas citizens would rather support this fool than Obama. Atleast Obama can answer questions when given. I might not like the answer, but atleast it shows that he knows what he is talking about. McCain supporters, just keep lying to yourselves, go ahead dig our country into an deeper whole.

Yet agasin an unscripted moment catches McCain offguard. I wonder who will be writing the script if (god help us) he gets elected.

Fox news had an "expert" come on to explain the body language of McCain and Obama.

When McCain was asked what he meant by his statement that he has always supported equal rights, the expert assured us that it was just that the two part question was complicated and he was just trying to recall the question. It wasn't that he couldn't remember or even a GOTCHA! moment.

It was funny that Fox tried to make us feel better by saying that he can't keep up with a simple question rather than the fact that he couldn't support his argument.

No way. I can't believe it. McCain doesn't remember his position on contraceptives and STDs? My grandma is 92 years old, and SHE has an opinion on abstinence.

Age isn't poor McCain's problem. He's just a dummy.

you know he truly wanted to say that they definitely do prevent STD's but he paused and thought about the fact that his constituency is filled with retards who have been told by their church that condoms are evil, so he's afraid to admit they are actually useful.

if that isn't the case, and he really believes what he said, he's just pitiful and i feel sorry for him

I don't get how someone like this is considered a serious candidate to run the most powerful country in the world...

Haven't we been told that condoms prevent STD's for decades now? He should have known this somewhere deep inside or is he just that freaking dumb?

AIDS in Africa versus the price of tea in China?

Don't we have enough problem to worry about besides trying to save cultures that don't see interested in saving themselves?

How about America just conquers Africa then we could actually help. In the meantime, why are they distracting his with questions like this?

So, my tax dollars are going to buy condoms for people in Africa? What have they done for me lately?

Sorry to sound like an asshole, but I think there are much better ways to save the world then encouraging sex amongst completely irresponsible populations in any way, shape, or form.

Next queston: does birth control prevent women from becoming pregnant?

He hasn't looked into that issue either.
