I hope Obama will be the one, who should be out of the contest soon.
This person is empty suit, talker with nonsense.
Poor experience, lazy (he need somone to keep his work in order),
corrupted (Rezko link)-not good for President of the USA
We need HILLARY TO LEAD THE COUNTRY , to clean up after Bushe's yrs of damages.
Hillary is a strong candidate, women, who will CHANGE our life, economy, health care, education and USA image in the World.
VOTE FOR HILLARY !!!!!!!!

McCain we cannot afford to stay in Iraq! Not only is it costing us thousands of lives, we are broke! It's a civil war, let the UN do their job and make a humanitarian effort of it! The vacuum we have created there will not be filled by our presence. You are a warmonger! Just like George Bush!

That's how far America has fallen, when you can't even call a warmonger
a warmonger, after McCain did a little Eagle's Nest jig, croaking, "Bomb,
bomb, bomb, Iran", and he warn't just a whistlin' Dixie, he wants a War of
a 1000 Years, and has specifically said so, many times, because war is
the only way the Neo-Con's can extract war profits from the US taxpayer.
Declare tax cuts, grow government deficits faster than even WW2, grift,
rinse and repeat. And they call this the "last, best hope for humanity"??!!

McCain? A warmonger? It's a fair cop.

He was an advocate for an unnecessary, factually unjustified, & illegal war. He continues to advocate the war and has gone so far as to suggest 100 years of occupation as being needful.

Warmonger is hardly the worst he could be legitimately styled.

The only war Barack Obama is interested in is a race war...but he's to chicken to be on those front lines as well. He's strickly a back door, sneaky, stab you in the back kinda guy. He;s got plenty of fight in him, just not the kind he's going to let the public see. I wish the people supporting him would see that. You don't sit in a pew and listen to hate speeches for 20 years and then tell people you don't believe in them. Come on..wake up people.

I feel badly for John, it would take some effort to see him in the White House. If he made it there, people do you realize he would be the second president shot down as a combat pilot, and a president that couldn't beat a national guard pilot that is the current president.
If I were to fly in a plane piloted by any of those three repubilcans, two Bushes, one McCain, I would either die in a crash or make it out in a parachute. With that I would vote for someone that will not crash the country, or shot down the country by being a bad pilot.

Also Saturday, Clinton campaign officials acknowledged that an anecdote Clinton has made a staple of her stump speech in recent weeks may not have been true and wasn't thoroughly checked for accuracy before she began repeating it on the campaign trail.

Since competing in Ohio's March 4 primary, Clinton has shared the story of an Ohio woman who worked in a pizza parlor and died after giving birth to a stillborn child. The woman was uninsured, Clinton said, and twice denied medical care at a local hospital because she couldn't pay a $100 fee.

Clinton said she learned of the story from a deputy sheriff whose home she visited while campaigning in Ohio. She told the story as recently as late Friday, at a rally in Grand Forks, N.D.

Officials with O'Bleness Memorial Hospital in Athens, Ohio, have disputed the story, saying the woman, Trina Bachtel, was insured and did receive care through an obstetric practice affiliated with the hospital, The New York Times reported Saturday.

The problem with Hillary: She is the last person who can identify with the "working man", since she has spent most of her career courting corporate donors. Now that she is on the ropes, she'll do anything. If the people of PA think Hillary is going to help America, they should think again. Hillary, as usual will help herself and "pretend" she's helping America. That's okay, because Hillary is just the person that they deserve as their president.

"War monger" is strong language, but there is no doubt that Sen. McCain is more pro-war when it comes to the Iraq war. Continuing on in Iraq at anything near current levels, may or may not make our country more safe, however, there is no doubt that it will bankrupt our country if this continues for 2, 10 or 20 more years. History shows that wars and debt is what collapeses all super powers and at $10 Billion per week for a country in or near recession and $8 Trillion in debt...someone has to alert the country to Sen. McCain's desire to continue Bush's failed foreign policy.

Of course Obama doesn't believe John McCain is a "warmonger". Sen. McCain supported the war and the surge, but his motives are pure and he is a true American hero and patriot who only wants us to finish honorable what unfortunately was started by the Cheney-Rumsfeld-Bush machine. Many were mislead into believing in this war.

On another note, Barack finished the week out nicely.

1) Hillary "misheard" the Richardson question.
2) Mark Penn – what a disgrace and another example of the senator's poor judgment.
3) The hospital story about the "uninsured"mother. Tall tale Hillary at her best.

The shoes fits – ol' Superfries McCain wants the United States in Iraq for 100 more years. And while that will get a lot of Iraqis killed, I think the downside is that we will create a socialist welfare state that isnt even properly Christian.

Since the comment did not come from Obama himself, I see no reason that McCain would be criticizing Obama for it. Just another pathetic attempt to get the general public to vote for him and an extension of the war in Iraq. Whoever said war is hell just about summed it up, so why should we be put through 4 or even 8 more years of the war?

McCain is a warmonger. He's insane with having been held as a POW and called Asians 'gooks' until the year 2000, when an Asian-American group pressured him to stop. He supported George Bush in every military effort to date, condones torture and disdains international law.

John, you're a warmonger. Time to face reality, Hitler.

Yes, we all know John McCain and his attentions. He is warmonger and he will attack Iran and North Korea if he becomes president. America is eight years behind because of G Bush and McCain is the same like Bush

Let's see... McCain has publicly stated his determination to keep U.S. forces in Iraq for a century, despite the fact that they have no achievable objective–or any kind of discernible, consistent, objective, for that matter–and that no matter which side of Iraq's civil war "wins," the U.S. loses. Waging a pointless war for no better reason than to avoid the appearance of losing it–which we've basically already done–sounds like warmongering to me.

McCain is thinking with his balls, not his brain, a process not known with coming up with sensible conclusions.

(I'm not, by the way, a peace-at-any-price kind of guy. There are circumstances when a country has to fight if it is to survive, but Iraq is a long, long, way from being that kind of circumstance.)

"But that kind of language is unnecessary for this campaign. I think its very clear how I feel about war and my experiences with it."

Yes, Mr. McCain, hence the name "Warmonger" given to you. A state of denial is your ostrich stance.

I don't understand why McCain, Bush, Cheney Clinton and others are still not on trial for invading a soverign country Iraq and responsible for the deaths fo thousands of innocents, McCain is not only a warmonger he should have been in the prison by now, he's a war criminal and it's indisputable, you killed innocent people and you should be punished no person is above law.

It's not inappropriate to label McCain a warmonger if it is true. McCain has, after all, come out in favor of war with Iran. He's selling war as part of his campaign. That, to me, is a warmonger.

Whether or not John McCain is a warmonger is beside the point. A vote for him is vote for continuation of the policy that will make war with Iran inevitable; a war that this country cannot afford morally or financially.

I'm glad Obama did disagree. We don't need name calling, etc. I realize that McCain can't control the neocons, but if McCain does win the presidency, I'm glad he'll throw the neocons under the bus and support fair trade, universal health care, and abortion rights. In addition I'm sure he'll get us out of Iraq very quickly. He is not a conservative, he is a fiscal conservative, social liberal. I will vote for Obama. But I used to like McCain, until he started pretending to be a conservative just to get the republican nomination, and fawned to the right.

I thought all the Obama supporters were uniters? It seems like calling Senator McCain, a POW for 5 1/2 years in Vietnam, a warmonger is idiotic and insulting. What branch of the military did Obama serve? Oh, that's right. And how long has he served in the Senate, excluding the two years he has been campaigning for president? One year? Great. And you expect this man to lead the country?

If McCain after being a prisoner of war can embrace any violent conflict,,let alone one which confers benefits on non-americans and profiteers at the expense of American lives can deny warmongering,,I'd expect no more from a politician.
