Comments on: McCain vows to repeat Reagan's success http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/11/12/mccain-vows-to-repeat-reagans-success/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Chet in Lake Havasu Arizona http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/11/12/mccain-vows-to-repeat-reagans-success/#comment-140604 Chet in Lake Havasu Arizona Tue, 13 Nov 2007 19:48:45 +0000 http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/11/12/mccain-vows-to-repeat-reagans-success/#comment-140604 And don't forget Ron turned his back on his home state (CA) and allowed 4 million illegal immigrants to pour in from Mexico in a concerted effort to bust the trade unions primarily in construction. By refusing to secure the border, bolster Border Patrol and letting the initial 4 million enter unregulated those illegals have gone on to multiply into 8 million + and are now insisting on citizenship + other rights and privledges. I encourage anyone including McCain with a desire to fawn over Reagan to really study his legacy. They were a mess of an administration masked in the friendly face of an actor. Most of the Reagan era's sinister players are still in government.

McCain was talking about Reagan's success as a military leader it had nothing to do with his economic policies. McCain was against the Bush tax cuts as first proposed. Your self imposed blindness to consider any leader from another party is a great example of everything that is wrong with our country. Do yourself a favor and take your blinders off.

Now John, unlike Vietnam, the war in Iraq was won by the United States military in a matter of a few weeks. The Iraqi military was defeated, the government of Saddam fell, the nation fell under US control. Then Washington became involved, and has been trying to make out that the fighting that is on going in Iraq is a continuation of the war on terror. It is a continuation of a failed political plan, a failoure to capitolize on a great military victory and bring peace and stability to the region. In Vietnam, John, when we actually withdrew our combat forces, the South Vietnam government was in control of the South. They had firebases throughout the nation and were defending it against small forces as we had taught them. South Vietnam was secured. When South Vietnam fell, it fell to a conventional invasion conducted by the North, to included Armored formations. The South's army was not prepared to fight this type of war. However we had promised the South we would provide them support, we did not, no air support, no naval support, no ground support, we abandoned the South, let me restate that, our government abandoned the South. While I respect you time in service to our nation and the sacrafices you have made, your time is past. Retire have a good life.

Neither Vietnam nor Iraq were wars. They were improper uses of the military to police the world, not constitutionally declared wars. So it is impossible to lose a war that doesn't exist.

Neither country has invaded the United States, and nothing they have done has ever jeopardized our sovereignity. Lastly, the Soviets did not fall because of our increased militarism against them.

Dear Mr. President,
Come take a walk with me.
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me.
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly.

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
What do you feel when you look in the mirror?
Are you proud?

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why?

Dear Mr. President,
Were you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?
How can you say
No child is left behind?
We're not dumb and we're not blind.
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell.

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine.

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye?

Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing 'bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh

How do you sleep at night?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Dear Mr. President,
You'd never take a walk with me.
Would you?
