[15:17] kmichelle1964: i choose not to vote for a man who said we had 57 states first of all...in an interview...if he has no idea how many states there are he has no business running the country. Mccain of all people knows what it's like to be in the middle of a war and has a better understanding of what the troops are going through. I"M NOT CHANGING MY MIND
[15:17] me: oh come on you know that was a gaffe
[15:18] me: he was doing math in is head. he had visited 47 states and said 57. non - issue
[15:18] kmichelle1964: you can turn it around any way you want but if mccain or palin had said it it would be used by liberals everywhere and never lived down.
[15:18] me: of course he knows there are 50 states. you don't become president of the harvard law review and think there are 57 states. you say stuff like that when you've been on the campaign trail for too long and need sleep
[15:18] me: ok
[15:18] me: so what about this
[15:19] me: mccain recently said, at a rally, "My fellow prisoners"
[15:19] me: when addressing the crowd
[15:19] me: OMG WE ARE ALL PRISONERS!
[15:19] kmichelle1964: and he was in a prison
[15:19] kmichelle1964: he was a pow for years
[15:19] me: so you think he was having a Hanoi hilton flashback?
[15:19] kmichelle1964: and we are all prisoners in a way
[15:19] me: oh so that's fine. let's have a president who thinks we are in prison
[15:19] kmichelle1964: and that will get worse...it will seem wonderful at first but ....
[15:20] me: you are completely missing my point. what he said was a gaffe
[15:20] me: he meant to say americans, not prisoners. barack meant to say 47 states, not 57.
[15:21] me: these are non issues. it's political noise. it's something to keep us busy instead of looking at the real issues that will actually effect our country
[15:21] kmichelle1964: I"M STILL NOT CHANGING MY MIND!
I actually can't believe this was a real conversation I had at work today.
