Hopefully all Americans can agree on one thing, impossible as that may seem. Everyone wants the war on terror and specifically the fighting in Iraq to end, being a proud Republican I know of no one who wants the war to contiue or who likes this war. However, the war on terror MUST end in victory and this includes Iraq. We are getting closer and closer to realizing this victory in Iraq, speficially having Iraq govern and manage it's own affiars without American involvement.

That is what Senator McCain is sayng in the article above, the date we eventually leave is not as important as leaving in victory

McCain 08

This guy is an idiot. I can't believe I once thought about voting for him in a previous election.
The Iraqi people don't want us there and the majority of the US people don't want us there. Considering we never should have entered Iraq in the first place, and should have concentrated on finding Bin Laden in Afghanistan, we need to withdraw NOW!
When are the Republicans ever going to get a clue that Iraq does not = 9/11? Although with all the enemies Bush has created for the Americans over there because of his foolishness and stupidity it could now unless the Democrats can put an end to it.

"That’s all fine. American casualties and the ability to withdraw; we will be able to withdraw."

If this is an accurate quote, does anyone have any idea what he is trying to say here? This is not the first time I have noticed that the words coming out of his mouth are almost unintelligible. Forget whether we agree or disagree with his ideas - sometimes it's just plain impossible to tell what the heck he's trying to say.

Like Bush, but at least when Bush slaughters the English language, it usually has comedic appeal - this is just mud.

History has shown us that there are two things people will fight doggedly for: their religion and their homeland. The militants in Iraq are fighting for one, the other, or both. Most American’s in Iraq are fighting for neither. The sooner we realize that, the sooner we can bring our troops home to safety. In my mind, a quick withdrawal saving thousands of American lives is the only way we win anything in this war.

WHAT DO YOU EXEPECT FROM A CONFUSED MAN.

VIETNAM WAR IS DIFFERENT FROM IRAQ WAR.IN IRAQ,THERE IS NO PRISONERS OF WAR. IT IS BUTCHER

"Welcome Hillary Supporters June 11th, 2008 12:55 pm ET

I'd like to welcome all the Hillary Clinton supporters to the republican party and thank you for coming to your senses and backing the best candidate, John McCain.
Together we can:

1) help reverse Roe v. Wade and make abortion illegal - let's stop the murder of unborn babies!
2) stop gays from getting married - let's get a constitutional amendment to stop gay marriage and let them know they are not normal!
3) keep fighting the good fight in Iraq for as long as it takes - remember 9/11 and what we are fighting for!
4) get ready to invade Iran - we know they are planning to nuke us - let's get them first! McCain will make sure we do!
Good to see democrats finally waking up and becoming more conservative!"
———————————

Dream on!

This again shows how out of touch he is. He constantly blunders, forgets…I think the man is going senile.

Now, now, Mc Flip Flop….. You know you got to be careful what you say. Seems like you support Bush on leaving the troops over there as long as needed and in the mean time let our economy suffer here. Something is not right with that picture. Dont you get it… Our troops and folks here are BOTH suffering!

Let there be no mistake:
Every dollar spent on an American to feed, house, employ, educate, medicate, transport, supply utilities, provide for a secure retirement; defend against injustices foreign or domestic, physically and legally, is a dollar spent building personal hope and is thus a dollar spent for a capitol gain. That means it will give back to the wealth of the nation.

Every dollar spent on the war machine is a dollar wasted, it is a pure loss like the plastic Christmas toy that breaks bringing tears almost before the smile. In fact it would be smarter to burn the cash because then it would not foment the fear, jealousy, pain and resentment the grandparents of terrorism.

Is America ready to be the adult? Or are we intending to continue the antics of a spoiled child turned bully, that have prevailed for the last 7 years.

The prosperity we enjoyed during the fifties and sixties were a direct result of the GI Bill, the FHA housing loans, the CCC and New Deal, and the Marshall plan that helped rebuild what the war destroyed abroad. Whenever the Republicans dominate the economy tanks and we fall into depression! just fact.

I am so upset with the DNC so I am definitely voting Republican in the fall; here are some Key reasons why I like John Mccain and why I think the 18 million Hillary supporters should switch and vote for Mccain also

McCain has a 0% pro-choice rating from NARAL and Planned Parenthood.
* He has vowed to appoint pro-life justices to the Supreme Court.
* McCain voted against reauthorizing the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) for five years.
* He voted against the restoration of the Fair Pay Act.
* McCain voted to suspend the Family and Medical Leave Act in 1993.
* He voted to shut down the Title X family-planning program, which provides millions of women with health care services ranging from birth control to breast cancer screenings.

I am so in love with this guy
gaush
he is so cute
This is definitely the change I can believe in.

MCSAME 08

Can he please do a better job of that SAD comb over. It is really sad.

"Len in Washington June 11th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

I don't care if Kermit the Frog was the Democratic Nominee…I'd vote for him over this guy."
—————————-
You said a mouth full. Do you think that Miss Piggy would make a good running mate?

Warmonger! McBush is totally out of touch with reality and his judgement is definitely lacking. Not surprising for an old man who has lost his bearing.

The major difference between Korea, Japan and German is that there is no currently active combat zone in those areas. Iraq is currently considered by many to be an active combat zone. There are active duty troops there needing to go on missions to kill those that would kill us.

"Belle June 11th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

CNN does not post any negative comments about Obama.

Yellow Journalism at its' finest.

Still waiting for Obama to tell the truth about Rezko."
——————————
He already did. There's nothing there. Nothing came out in the trial. Rezko was convicted, there was no connection to Obama, and that's that.

Sorry to disappoint you.

McCain is simply unreal. When I watch and listen to his listless comments, dead tone and hollow words I ask myself is this who we want to lead our country? Absolutely not! He is a very nice man and has served his country well but he is NOT presidential material. He sings the same song, relies on the same old tactics and wants us to believe he is a "change" agent. Get real folks! The same old, same old and the people of America have had enough. The margain of support for Obama over McCain is increasing each week and will continue to do so as the summer goes on. The republicans will lose big in November. Yes, republicans continue to trash talk Obama as they are simply afraid of running against Obama as it is a sure fire ingredient for failure on their part.

Hey everyone. CNN needs to post this.

The Clintons and their supporters are keeing an enemies list

Bill Clinton just "denied" this on Fox.

Is McCain campaigning for McCain or Obama?

False attack? You are once again on tape. Get with the program, you would think that since this war is so unpopular that you would be careful of what you say, guess not.

You must be confused if you think when our troops leave Iraq is not important.

Abortion is horrible. Your right to choose is a travesty.

McCain '08!!!

Only Weak Wimpy Women think Obama is arrogant!!

STRONG Women recognize STRONG Men!!

For all you BILLARY supporters:

HILLARY WILL NEVER BECOME PRESIDENT!!

Remember Vince Foster!!

Remember Vince Foster!!

Remember Vince Foster!!

To Welcome Hillary Supporters:

"I'd like to welcome all the Hillary Clinton supporters to the republican party and thank you for coming to your senses and backing the best candidate, John McCain.

1. is a state by state decision not DECIDED by PRESIDENT
and
2. is also a state by state decision not decided by president.
get your facts straight and vote accordingly. you are so misguided and backwoods. Stop voting based on what your daddy and momma told you and think for yourself .

Obama 08 and 12!
Obama 08 and 12!
You don't like it? Cry.

I have never once voted Republican in a national election, however I would have voted for John McCain . . . 8 years ago. The man I see now I don't recognize at all. I realize that this is his LAST chance at the presidency but it seems this John McCain will say and/or back anything to get elected. It saddens me that after what George Bush and Rove did to him in South Carolina (debatably worse than the Swift Boating of John Kerry) that he climbed right into bed with them to gain the Republican nomination. Then tops that off by pandering to the far right wing of the party all the while talking out of the other side of his mouth to try and gain favor from independants and HRC's upset constituency. This man, this John McCain, isn't even a shadow of the man who USE to stand up for his principles . . . now he doesn't seem to have any at all!!!!!!!!!

I WOULD CERTAINLY TRUST McCAIN MORE THAN OBAMA TO PULL THE TROOPS OUT!

IS ANYONE ELSE BESIDES ME SCARED TO DEATH OF OBAMA BEING IN CHARGE OF ANYTHING?

HE HAS NO EXPERIENCE!

WE LET THE BEST CANDIDATE GO BECAUSE OF GENDER!!!!

He basically said what he has been for weeks now. His main concern is casualties and its noble. So long as there are no more soldiers wounded or killed he sees no real need to leave quickly.

Those that want to stay say either:
A: Iraq is still a dangerous place that needs our help.
B: Iraq is rebuilding and doing well because we are there.

WIth those two arguments as a rationale we will never leave.

McCain is the man and the 44th President of USA….

The Deprogrammed for McCain '08

This is real cute
This is definitely change the Hillary supporters could believe in

I would also add

Together we can also put a stop to the fair pay act for women
who needs fair pay when we can vote for John Mccain

Good to see democrats finally waking up and becoming more conservative!

Didn’t this guy just give a speech 5mins ago about how we where going to be out of Iraq in 2013?

Was it me or was I hearing things? ROLL TAPE!

This guy is ridiculous!

we love u obama….go obama go………

OBAMA 08 & 12

I don't see how anyone can think that we could stay in a place where they don't want us, and where the kind of anti-American sentiment exists as in Iraq for 100 years and not suffer casualties. South Korea and Japan want us there. Iraq does not.

NOT TOO IMPORTANT??? What a Bush cultist. Those of you insist we will "win" the so-called war (that is, invasion and occupation) in Iraq shold define what a "win" is and decide what we really get for our 500 billion dollars and thousands of Americna lives.

And why, oh why, do so many fools believe military service makes one somehow more ready to be President? We have a civilian leader of the military, according to the Constitution, for a reason! "Sir, yes sir!"

Did you guys hear the latest news about Bush's pathetic administration - FEMA gave away just this year about $85 million in goods that were meant for Katrina victims years ago?! It was costing over $1 million for storage per year and now another group wanted to use the warehouses - thats why they gave them away!!!

Vote for McSame and continue the pathetic Bush 3rd term, dumb voters as dumb as the person they voting for!

Admit it - a lot of factors were behind such stupidity by the Bushes - race, politics and sheer meaness…as evident in the McSame policies

'…those items never made it to people such as Debra Reed.
"An honest person like me didn't get nothing," said Reed, 54, who recently moved from a tent beneath a New Orleans bridge to a home with the help of Kegel's group. "I'm gonna turn, 'cause I'm gonna cry. I didn't get nothing. I fought to get my money, but they wouldn't give it to me. So I ended up going under the bridge" .'

McCain is so far out of touch with America .

OBAMA 08

There are still people (such as the one above (welcome Hillary Supporters) who have their fingers on the nuke button and Bush's mentality of lets go get them. They haven't learned anything from Iraq war, which was based on lies and looks like Bush is ready again to take us to another war, probably based on some more lies.

In Iraq there were the WMD which they knew were North, south, east and west of Baghdad (according to Rumsfeld)….but the truth IS they weren't.

Now its Iran today. What will be tomorrow? And for God's sake we should know that it is not easy to build nukes. Only 10 or so country that have it and most of them cannot deliver it far enough to reach USA. (Oh yes, there is one country that possibly has the capabilities but the world does not admit or even supervises it….Guess which one?)

We must ask our politicians to think about America first and not base our policies to appease another country. We, americans must think of us first but as long as we continue to base our foreign policies based on how it will effect one small country in the ME, we will have problems at home and elsewhere.

Lets get the trigger happy politicians out of washington.

I'm not saying McCain is senile. But he definitely is crazy if he thinks he's going to win, especially if this is the best he has.

Maybe the press should cover his pitiful stances on women's issues.

McCain opposed the Equal Pay Bill for Women, saying they "need education and training’ instead.

He crippled the Family and Medical Leave act in 1993.

In 2005, he voted against funding for programs to prevent unintended and teen pregnancies—and reduce abortions in the process.

In 2003, he voted against requiring health insurers to include birth control—and, again, prevent more abortions.

In his service as an Illinois legislator and a U.S. senator, Obama has earned a 100% rating from Planned Parenthood for voting in favor of sex education, counseling, and the right to choose. McCain? Lowest ranking senator at zero percent.

Vote Obama—he DOES have experience. And it's the right kind.

One more thing. If American casuality goes down to very low in Iraq, then Aemrican public will support staying in Iraq. Do you remember the American zero casualty war against Serbia? The U.S. almost bombed Serbia into stone age destroying Serbia's all kinds of infrastructure and killing thousands of Serbia people. But Americans sufferred zero casualty. What was the support level of that war? I bet over 80%.

If the American casualties go down in Iraq, then McCain will win the arguments. Obama should concentrate on economy, not Iraq war.

OMG is the grandpa serious? SICK!!!!!! Meanwhile young soldiers are dying everyday, children with no parents, mothers without sons and daughters … SO SICK!!!!!!!

I can't believe that HIllary supporters will actually vote for grandpa!!!

DISGUSTING!!!

grandpa it is you who is more bitter. you made it clear today that staying fr 100 years is more important. cling to your100 years. by the time you let cling only you and your buddies wl be left.

McCain wants to sustain this war so that he can continue lining the pockets of those that profit on our behalf. No More McCain= No More War!!!

McCain's time has past. He let the Bush folks talk him out of running against Bush in 2000, so now he is too old to even think straight. This is too sad, because I was more inclined to vote for him back then. However, he now seems so out of touch, so stiff and so slow and just not someone who has the charisma to inspire the country. Maybe there should be an age limit for the presidency. I don't think anyone can argue that a 40-something year old mind is more agile than a 70-something year old mind. Look what happened to Reagan? He went into seclusion when he left the White House because he was already in the mid stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Americans must become smart enough to analyze everything…along with the issues at hand. McCain is McSame because at this point, he can only remember what is, not what should be.

McCain you are right only a fool would pull out quickly, even Obama is coming around to the way Hillary and McCain are thinking. Little bit of flip flopping I would say, this is want inexperience does. Marcus, we are voting to send a message to the DNC, the news media,and the people who stabbed Hillary in the back from her own party. She can run in 2012. McCain is a moderate so it works for me. All Clinton supporters go to Clinton 4Mcain.com or justsaynodeal.com!!!!!!

I predict the entire mess Bush has got us into, and the gaffes-a-minute from McCain will all be forgotten when people go to the polls. I predict that the majority of sheep who voted for Bush will be again frightened into voting for McCain because they will play into people's fears about Obama (aka Muslim, flag pin, bitter, Wright).

voters are sheep. that's why we had bush elected for 2 terms. that's why McCain will probably be voted in. AND WE CAN THANK THE SHEEP FOR $10 a gallon gas! Worse health care crisis. More deaths in iraq and maybe even iran.

I was shocked when I heard McCain say "it doesn't matter how long we are there" this morning too. Just another reason why I won't vote for him.

Re: Vig — reality check!!!! No one cares if you write in Hillary's name in Nov. You might as well write in Micky Mouse, because it will not effect anything. As Hillary supporters supposedly flock to McCain, McCain’s support numbers continue to go down. The more McCain tries to cater to Hillary’s supporters and the more Hillary’s supporters rant about voting for McCain, the less credible both are.

OBAMA 08 !

Is McCain serious to say the date for the troop is not important. He has no idea what he is talking about. The press and McCain keep saying the causality for American soldier is less compared to four years or so ago. When I her such comment it makes me sad. What about the soldier and the family members who see their love die, wounded or going through trauma. Can someone consider does victim as one of those not important because the causality in the war is less. I don't care what happen in Iraq, losing one life is not worth fighting for in Iraq. As for McCain when I see him on TV he alway look angry and is his smile is has sad has his anger. II hope he will find a way to stop smiling and just speak. Hillary supporters I think you are so angry you don't care if we have the worst economy on earth. I'm a woman I don't care if have Hillary won will vote for her. However because she did not run a good campaign that is why she lost. Blame her not Obama.

SHAME ON YOU MCCAIN! SHAME ON YOU!

Just say "NO" to 4 more years of McBush!

For people that are saying "MCCAIN 08″ "HILLARY 2012″ You guys have serious issues. You guys are obssessed and are like brain dead zombies. Hillary LOST get OVER IT. True Democrats will not Vote for McSame.

Obama 2008, and 2012.

PS: Even your candiate supports Obama, learn a thing or two and do the same instead of whining like bunch of 4 year-olds.

I'd like to reiterate what FactCheck said.

So let me see if I understand this, McCain referred to HRC with an euphemism for a "female dog" (rhymes with "witch"), once called his wife an euphemism for a female body part (rhymes with "hunt"), doesn't believe in equal pay for the sexes, seeks to overturn Roe v. Wade and Clinton supporters are STILL anxious to vote for him? I guess there's no better way to show support for your candidate by UNDOING what she'd spend the last 18 months putting forward.

Finally someone with some sense, I love it, way to go!

Obama '08

PlesaePost: YES I AM BITTER VERY BITTER!

Let’s talk about the economy and Bush/McCain and the GOP. The war in Iraq has done so much damage to our economy here in the US we have only begun to see the effects. If you think back to the before the McCain/Bush invasion of Iraq oil was trading around 25.00 a barrel. Now we are looking 150.00 a barrel before the end of summer.

Some of you say this has nothing to do with the war in Iraq; let’s play the blame game. Well let’s follow the money shall we? With any crime that has been committed you have to find motive. Who has benefited most from this war in Iraq?

A.Bush and Channey are two former oil executives and have friends in American Big Oil Companies; have they benefited?

B.Big equipment and supply companies (i.e.) Halliburton; have they benefited?

C.How about Iran, they more money now then they ever had; have they benefited?

D.Saudi Arabia Bush begs them to produce more oil; have they benefited?

E.Has Osama Bin Laden and Al Quida; have they received more money from the Saudi Arabians that secretly support them; have they benefited? Has he even been killed or captured? We found Hitler in a bunker are Bush/McCain and the GOP chicken s**t to go get this turd?

F.The military industrial complex; have they benefited?

I love America to much to VOTE FOR MCAIN AND THE GOP!

Obama 08/12

Maybe it's time for you peaceniks to consider what the American casualties would have been if we had waited until Saddam Hussein DID get WMD's. I'd rather make the mistake we did of moving too soon, than the worse mistake of waiting too late. One Iraqi nuke would have caused 10 times the casualties of the entire war to date.

McCain can barely go a day without saying something ignorant.

Who would vote for this man?

Obama/Clark 08′

I see the Obama supporters have now aimed their ugliness and mean spirtied attacks on McCain. How is it, that Obama, who is Mr. Nice, has a fan base that is so vile and disgustingly hypocritical?

I guess life is full of ironies.

My brother who is serving in the ARMY and was in IRAQ for 18 months and now 10 months in Afgan. Cares about the DATE, WE HIS LOVE ONES CARE ABOUT THE DATE, AMERICANS CARE ABOUT THE DATE, YOU McBUSH DON'T CARE ABOUT THE DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY BROTHER HAS GIVEN 8 YEARS TO THE ARMY, WILL YOU AMERICAN CITIZENS LET HIM DOWN? VOTE OBAMA NOT McBUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McCain by a landslide. The light has come on for most Hillary supporters and they have no fear in voting the one who is right and that is John McCain. 1 Man 1Woman 4ever.
We are winning the war in Iraq and will do the same in Iran. Iran must go down and we will show the rest of the world that America is not to be messed with.
With a chance to replace 2 or more Supreme Court Justices we will have our best chance to overturn Roe V Wade.
Vote life vote McCain08

Look at all the Obama Kool-aid drinkers on here bashing McCain. Seriously, you all need to grow up and get a life. Newsflash, just because McCain has a different view of things than the Obamaphiles does not mean he is the devil. I guess we should all start goosestepping to get in line with the other Obamaphiles. In Germany, the Hitler youth got entranced by someone promising change and enlightenment. Look where that got them.

Well Mc Cain knows better than us that he cannot be a good president. He too should vote for Obama. America needs a new brain, a new president and that is Obama.

So yesterday he is going to Super Size my "nice meal" and today he doesn't think we care (especially mothers, and fathers and wives and husbands and children…) when they troops are going to be coming home…. Jesus dude! Someone, and preferably a friend, maybe Liberman, needs to tell him he is heading down the wrong path if he wants to win in November!

So now all the CNN bias against Hillary will be focused on McCain. CNN knows that if they only tell part of the story, it will be misconstrued and make McCain look foolish. When Obama does something particularly dumb, CNN gets busy white-washing it and making excuses, and then never mentions it again. CNN, before all of this, I was pretty well hooked on your station and wouldn't miss Chris Matthews or Olbermann for anything, but now I never go to you for news. I'm sort of old fashioned that way: I like my news without any bias from the news anchors and hosts. I like making up my own mind about the events of our nation and the world.

1) help reverse Roe v. Wade and make abortion illegal - let's stop the murder of unborn babies! You mean those babies that you don't
want to pay health care for? You love them until they are born
2) stop gays from getting married - let's get a constitutional amendment to stop gay marriage and let them know they are not normal! Normal according to whom? The Repubs that like little boys? This country has a few problems more pressing than two
people of the same sex who love each other.

3) keep fighting the good fight in Iraq for as long as it takes - remember 9/11 and what we are fighting for! and Iraq had what to do with 9/11? Please remind us

4) get ready to invade Iran - Right- are you enlisting? Our military is stretched to the breaking point now. This country is mortgaged to the hilt with the Chinese now. The Repugs are not even willing to pay the taxes to support the war we are in -they would rather saddle our children and grandchildren with debt

The definition of insane is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. That is John McCain

Oh interesting synchroniscity:

McCain is old, confused and outdated

Conservative ideals are old, confused and outdated

Welcome Hillary Supporters ……………………………………………………………….
I'd like to welcome all the Hillary Clinton supporters to the republican party and thank you for coming to your senses and backing the best candidate, John McCain………….JOHN MCCAIN is an OLD CON MAN…
all of sudden he is givig praise to HILLARY, an attempt to lure her supporters…………..HRC is a TRUE DEMOCRATE,HE does not stand or SHARE her VALUES……NO TO MCSAME

A war that we all KNEW was a lie. Thanks McCain keep sending our young people to Iraq for a LIE.

Cheney would like to thank Hillary supporters that are going to McCain to.

Cheney's, Halliburton, thanks you and your money!

What is there to win? Nothing, it's not our country. Can't win something that wasn't ours to begin with.

But I know what is lost - a lot of lives; husbands, wives, sons, daughters, mothers and fathers are gone, and Bush says he has no regrets starting a war.

Stand face-to-face with the families who have lost loved ones and say Not too important!!! Ice Cold Hearted-Brainless McCain - these are people, not toy soliders. McCain wouldn't be standing for too long.

All the more reason to keep fighting…to work together to:

1. Protect a woman's right to choose.

2. Fight for gay rights.

3. Realize that Iraq and Saddam Hussein had NOTHING to do with September 11 and END the U.S. occupation of Iraq.

4. Realize that Republicans and Democrats are the same in terms of war… that, given a REAL and CREDIBLE threat from Iran, any president, REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT, will take us to war again.

Yeah-Its not too important because he doesn't have a child or two fighting in either wars.

Hope and Change.
Hope and Change.
Hope and Change.

(Glittering generalities.)
(Vapid meaningless catch phrases.)

You My Friend Have Inspired Me To Do All I Can To Make Sure You Are Not The President Of The United States! Why Would I Do This! Dont Worry About It! Its Not Important!

THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT, THAT'S NOT IMPORTAND
SO FAR BUSH AND MCSAME HAVE KILLED OVER 4,000 AMERICANS IN IRAQ AND WHEN THEY WILL COME HOME TO THEIR FAMILIES AND LOVED ONES ARE NOT IMPORTANS

IF THIS IS NOT THE MOST RIDICULUS STATEMENT THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS
AND TO THINK THIS IS WHAT THE HILLARY SUPPORTERS WANT TO VOTE FOR ….FOUR MORE YEARS OF LIES AND DECEPTION AND DOUBLING DOWN IN IRAQ; SPENDING 12 BILLION A MONTH AND ITS NOT IMPORTANT WHEN OUR AMERICAN TROOPS COME HOME

GIVE THIS OLD WHITE FOOL SOME BRAIN FOOD SO HE CAN THINK STRAIGHT….FIRST HE SAID HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE ECONOMY WORK, THEN HE CONFUSED THE SUNNIS VS THE SHEIS, THEN HE SAID ITS OK TO STAY 100 YRS IN IRAQ, NOW HE SAYS IT'S NOT IMPORTANT HOW LONG WE STAY IN IRAQ

AND TO THINK THIS IS WHO WANTS TO BECOME COMMANDER IN CHIEF; WHAT A JOKE

What we have been doing for the last eight years has not been working. Doesn't common sense dictate that we try something different, rather than the same old stuff wrapped up in a new package?

MCCAIN = BUSH. BUSH = MCCAIN

We can win without Hillary supporters. go home all you screaming women.

McCain 08,12
Romney 16,20

MCcain is a war monger plain and simple!!!

The truth is John McCain has repeatedly voted against supporting veterans.

McCain Voted Against $19 Billion for Military Hospitals. In February 2006, McCain voted against an amendment that would have provided for at least $19 billion for military health facilities, paid for by eliminating tax cuts for the wealthiest earners.
*Senate Amendment 2735, Amendment failed.

McCain Voted Against Legislation to Provide $2.8 Billion For Medical Care for Veterans. McCain voted against a 2006 Democratic amendment that would have provided $2.8 billion to increase veterans’ medical care.
*Senate Amendment 149, Amendment failed.

McCain Voted Against Establishing $1 Billion Trust Fund to Provide Improvements to Military and Veterans’ Health Facilities. McCain voted against an Amendment to establish a $1 billion trust fund to provide improvements to health facilities that treat veterans and military personnel to lapse on December 31, 2006.
*Senate Amendment 2735

McCain voted Against Adding $1.5 billion to Veterans’ Medical Services in 2007 Budget by Closing Corporate Tax Loopholes. McCain voted against an Amendment offered by Democrats to increase medical services funding to veterans by $1.5 billion in 2007.
*Senate Amendment 3007

McCain Voted Against Mandatory Funding of $6.9 Billion in 2007 Budget and $104 Billion Over Five Years for Veterans' Health Care.
McCain voted against a Democratic amendment to provide a mandatory stream of funding of $6.9 billion in Fiscal Year 2007 and $104 billion over five years for veterans' health care.
Senate Amendment 3141

September 2007: McCain voted against the Webb amendment calling for adequate troop rest between deployments

bottom line he has done little or nothing for vets!!!!

John must have a lot of stocks in the arms industry.Limbaugh just said hes smarter than all the scientists that say global warming is real.

yes, ten out of nine veterans LOVE to be thrust into endless wars with not even a hint of an exit strategy, for no apparent reason, and no clear definition of who the enemy is

they also LOVE to serve tour after tour after tour, even after their initial enlistment has been fulfilled, only to be denied GI Bill upgrades by John McCain (if they make it home)

yes, Lo-Jack, keep pulling ridiculous numbers outta your cakes and posting them on the internet; at least 10 to 1 if not more veterans are laughing at your stupidity

It would be great if the conservatives writing on this blog could realize:

1). Being 'holier than thou' does not make you holy

2). They are NOT better than anyone

3). They are more they likely whites who think they are 'entitled' to rule the world

4). White does NOT make right

5). There is a whole world out there with good ideas they'll never exposed themselve to because of their lust for bigotry

6). Gay folks are every bit as good as you and sometimes better!!!

7). Get used to the fact that there a people different than you

8). YOU are not normal if you hate

9). Hating others does not make you good

10). The future will involve settling disputes without bombs

Conservatives please grow up!!!! Get out of the play pen and join the world of true humans

This is a fight of the strong suvive the weak will fall this november.so good ol johnny get ready and one last advice be care ful for what you wish for.

McCain is more than out of touch, he borders on being senile, can't remember people,places, wars, who the enemy is, or who is fighting this war. Hillaries supporters may express thier disapointment with the results of the primary, but in the end they will vote for Obama, I know I am one of them, and I'm a republican. Having survived the Vietnam war too I remember Nixon talking about peace with honor vs. what we got- piece of our !!! shot off while we were making a fast exit. Now look where we are with Vietnam- favorite trading partners. Obviously we didn't need to get into that civil war either. When will we learn. Mark in Pennsylvania

Compairing troops in Iraq with troops in South Korea, Germany, Japan, and other parts of the world is a bit off. First of all, troops can bring their families to most of all the other parts of the world, so no matter where they go, their still home and have all the necessary support structures like school for their kids and jobs or colleges for their wives/husbands. There's no bagdad american high school… Secondly, Iraq and Afghanistan are war zones, the rest of the countries he mentioned are not. Some might argue that South Korea is, but it's not, I know because I live here. Compairing casualties in war zones with casualties in our allies countries is not a legitimate argument… especially when the end of his little soundbite was about keeping troops out of harms way so they could come home with honor. The whole thing made no sense, he gave no strategy for Iraq and simply could have said, "no, I won't accept a timeline." One final note, all these politicians need to stop talking about our honor, It's ours, and nothing you say or do in the capitol will change it, so stop using it to manipulat public opinion. Give us the respect that you say we deserve and pay for my college.

What the GOP is counting on now is that only the richest people will be able to afford gas to even get to the polls in November!
By then Gas will probably be 6 or 7 dollars a gallon.(or more)
I worry about this and how it will affect turnout for the GE.
Has anybody else thought about this????
Back on topic:
What else would McSame say. Polly wanna cracker? He is only parroting Bush after all.

And lets not forget that Reagen helped out with the communist witchunts that Mccarthy was running.

He sold out his own people

As a military wife who's husband has been deployed to Iraq TWICE and was in the Gulf War too. I say: LIKE HELL ITS NOT IMPORTANT!!!!!

Its not only soldiers getting killed its a them coming home without any legs or arms!!!

For him to compare Iraq to Germany, Japan or anywheres else is crazy and it proves the man is so out of touch.
You can't compare those countries to Iraq, Duh!!!!!!

AS FOR ALL OF YOU HILLARY SUPPORTORS WHO WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR SELFISH, PITTY HURT FEELINGS. GO RIGHT AHEAD!!

WHEN YOU CAST YOUR VOTE FOR MCCAIN AND ANOTHER SOLDIER GETS KILLED IN IRAQ YOU CAN PAT YOURSELF ON THE BACK AND SAY….JOB WELL DONE!!!!!

HILLARY WANTS THE SOLDIERS BACK HOME TOO!!!

And by the way, the 10 to 1 Vet's for Mccain is ridiculous, maybe 10 to1 officers, but with the atmosphere of the military not to get politically involved or show your support publicly, soldiers have to walk a thin line and most just stay away from it unless they are around friends.

Besides, a few war correspondents have said off the record that many soldiers have told them PRIVATELY that they support Obama.

I am pretty sure they are ALOT more out there like the ones that told the war correspondent.

Senator Obama, did you know the heat in Rezko buildings in your district was shut off in December 1997? If you did, why did you accept campaign contributions from Rezko in 1997? If you didn't, why didn't you investigate Rezko buildings in your own district prior to writing a letter supporting yet another Rezko building in 1998?

Hey Lo Jack:

Did you count them? 10 to 1? Really??? How does that matter? Does McCain have 1.5 million donors like Obama. Not even close. Did McCain raise close to 300 million? Not even half that.

Stick to the numbers that matter, MORON!

McCain's ideas are typically imperial! Do you really believe Germans, Japanese, Koreans welcome American troops stationed in their countries from their hearts? The U.S. is an empire, no doubt about it. But I believe most Americans, especially those in foreign affairs, support McCain's imperial ideas. After Iraq is stabilized and violence is done, of course, Iraqis want Americans to leave. But I think the U.S. will stay there because Iraw is in the center of middle East and it has the second largest oil reserve. When Moguls ruled middle East for a couple of hundred years, their center was also in Iraq. It is a golden opportunity for the U.S. to have a presence in that part of the world.

We should have an open disscussion of all these imperial things.

McCain is a dirty liar. That is all

The comments made by a McCain supporter welcoming "all the Hillary Clinton supporters to the republican party" VERYCLEARLY demonstrates the very narrow, even fanatic views, (reverse Roe v. Wade - stop gays from getting married) and totally, even blithely ignore the serious problems that this country faces. If this were 1692, these same people would be killing cats and burning women at the stake. Their grandparents used the Bible to justify segregation and attacking blacks with dogs.
The Real Issues:
-American men and women have died by the thousands in an unjust and unnecessary war.
-An ignorant, possibly criminally deceitful administration has facilitated recruitment of thousands to the terrorist's banner.
-Oil Companies have piled up obscene profits, refused to invest a penny in refinery capacity, and raped the American consumer in the process.
-Utter failure in the Katrina calamity.
-Uncontrolled Lobbyist and Cronyism.
-Exposing CIA operatives

What a FOOL!

You think us being based in Iraq will help our image with those who wish to do Americans harm???

Perhaps we shouldn't be invading other countries and then building permanent bases in them. How about that??? Perhaps getting all the way OUT is the right thing to do.

-J

"He was asked if he had an estimate of when a withdrawal process may be possible." "No, but that's not too important," McCain replied.

Obviously, Mr. McWar-Monger isn't concerned about our troops coming home anytime soon … but many of us Americans are concerned along with the children, spouses and parents of our valiant troops … they did their job … they won a military victory and there is nothing left for them to accomplish in Iraq … thanks to Bush's and McCain's stupidity the problems facing Iraq are now for the Iraqi people to deal with on their own.

he is wrong…it isn't about casualties. If we have to maintain a force of say…150,000 and something happens that we need our military elsewhere…where will they come from? We cannot be invested like this in a country where we are not wanted. Of course…idiots would rather not look at the obvious…stay the course they scream.

I refuse to believe single democrat would vote for this idiot. All this, I am going to vote for McCain because Hillary didn't win, is being put out by Repugs claiming to be Dems. I think anyone who thinks McCain is what we need, should just shut up and vote for him. Come Nov they will be losers with him. McCain has NO chance of winning in Nov. He will lose by the largest margin in history.

To
SHAME ON YOU

They aren't the only ones. Some crazy guy in Texas has a website set up for just those people. The one's who are so angry that Clinton didn't get it and arent wanting to vote for McCain

He even says he can make ads to run against Obama.

Dunno if he really is telling the truth but it's folks like that who are going to ruin this election.

Spokesman Tucker Bounds said Obama wants to pursue “withdrawal no matter what the costs” and stressed that McCain was only saying what he “has always said.” Bounds said McCain believes the timetable is not as important as the conditions on the ground, and that Obama’s campaign was trying to “twist and distort the truth. “

McCain has always said that as long as the deaths of American soldiers didnt increase again then he will listen to the Generals on the ground and will withdraw then, not in 60 days so the extremists can wait until then to wage their own war again on the innocent iraqi's.

The rest of the interview went on to say that even when wars were ended in Europe, Japan, Korea, Balkans, our troops still remained and are still there now…. Iraq is in more of a civil war now so the troops will be home under President McCain…

McCain has said in the past the we might stay in Iraq for 100 years. At least he is consistent on this one.

Obama '08 and 2012.

Typical CNN headline spin. McCain is right on this one. It's the casualties that matter. No one is jumping up and down demanding that we withdraw our troops from the 702 overseas bases in about 130 countries. So it's not about having troops stationed someplace it's about what is happening to them while they are there.

I guess most of Obama's supporters are too young to remember, but we have a historical example of cut-and-run policy already. Just look at what happened when the Russians gave up and pulled out of Afganistan. The Taliban took over and we ended up with 9/11.

Knowing what I know now, I don't think we should have invaded Iraq. But I told my son at the time that if Saddam didn't have WMDs then he could have averted the invasion by cooperating with the weapons inspectors. He wanted the world to believe he did have them and it worked. And before you Obamamanics jump out there with your "Obama opposed the war" postings, he was not in Congress and didn't have a vote. And based on his inability to press any button but "present" in the Illinois state house I would not count on his being one of the 23 that voted against using force in Iraq.

No one in the media did the work they should have done to vet the decision making process at the time even though there were plenty of signals (which they ignored) coming from plenty of "sources" that things were not adding up. We know that now. At the time, the Bush Administration was mobilized and labeled anyone who disagreed with them as unpatriotic which effectively silenced most of the opposition.

Hmmm, sounds a lot like what happened in the Democratic primary…only the label was "racist" and it was Obama's camp that was mobilized.

We are in Iraq now and we either finish what we started - the right way - or we risk creating another Afganistan or Syria. For Obama's campaign to call everyone who doesn't support their candidate "out of touch" without offering up a workable plan is yet another indication of what we can all expect if he is elected…which is darn little in the way of realistic action for the good of this country.

PS - I'm a registered independent who has never before voted Republican for president (I detested Regan) but most likely will this fall…not because Obama is bi-racial but because he has no specifics, no track record, and really bad judgment in the people with which he surrounds himself.

To MCCain 08 at 12:56

You can't be pro-life and pro-war at the same time! War kills people!
And your hero vows even more wars if he is elected!

No one will be fooled with that sanctimonious right wing fear of gay marriage and abortion that got us Bush for 8 years.

Not this time; not this year!

bounds is a dweeb,and mccain IS confused!

Geez! No one to vote for!

Obama is too inexperienced and arrogant.

McCain is too conservative and out of touch.

No matter whom you elect, we the people lose!!!

Write in Hillary!

This is for "welcome Hillary supporters"…………I'd like to welcome you and all of yours to go to the nearest recruitment center and sign up so you and yours can fight these wars you're advocating.

How long they stay is not all that important? Well then, how long he was a POW is NOT ALL THAT IMPORTANT! It's all in a days work, right, McCain?

John you and your good ol boys will have it hard this summer get ready this is just a preview of what's going to spray on you this summer onward till fall. Fasten your seat belt because it will be quite a ride the last man standing.

CNN does not post any negative comments about Obama.

Yellow Journalism at its' finest.

Still waiting for Obama to tell the truth about Rezko.

Where's all the Repu (gnant) blican trolls prentending to be Hillary supporters on this one? It's actually starting to get entertaining watching this fool become unhinged.

Does anyone know John MCCain's record on women's rights? He voted against women in the military and Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) - equal pay for equal work. (but he supports the Iraq war)

Don't call yourself a Hillary supporter and vote for John McCain…call yourself oppressed.

John McCain: Experience we CAN NOT afford.

Obama/Warner '08

I don't care if Kermit the Frog was the Democratic Nominee…I'd vote for him over this guy.

Of course he doesn't want to leave Iraq. What would he campaign on if not that debacle?

Clinton and Obama supporters need to band together here folks. We cannot let this guy or any other Republican win. We just can't.

It seems McCain realized that 100 years is not enough….
So don't put your hopes so high, we won't be out of there even after a 100 years…

Those who are smart and want better future for America will vote for Obama.

Welcome Hillary Supporters….—
wow the guy below me sounds like he wants to live in Communist Country.
Lets just take away all of our rights and free speech.
Last I checked This was America Jack, and we need to stop being behind the times.
OBAMA 08 BABY!!!

Yep, let's keep that hate flowing, boys!
Every election is an opportunity for right-wing nazi's to try to marginalize part of the community and play gatekeeper with people's lives.
Gay people finally receiving the same treatment that you have all come to take for granted will NOT end society as we know it. Ending a woman's right to choose (and the right to choose is not Pro-abortion, it's Pro-choice) will not stop abortions. Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11. And finally, rushing off to invade yet another country just because we hate Muslims is NOT a successful foreign policy strategy. It's time to stop the HATE, the FEARMONGERING, and the IGNORANCE!!!
It's time for a CHANGE!
Obama '08

If McCain doesn't feel that withdrawing troops is important, then frankly, I'd like to see the government get out of war altogether and leave the whole field to private industry.

There is just no contest here - McSame wants to overturn Roe! There are only three real issues here: (1) War, (2) Economy and (3) Constitutional Rights - McSame is on the WRONG SIDE OF ALL THREE OF THESE ISSUES - Makes it a real easy choice for this 64 year old, college educated white woman. I have Granddaughters and this old fool is NOT going to ruin their world!

How is it that an article about McCain becomes something about Hillary in the blogs? Give it a rest already! Hillary lost. She will not be back in 2012. She will be in jail (watch the Peter Paul case…it will be entertaining to watch the Clintons go down in flames in a few months)

Should somebody ask McCain to clear up his opinion of well run foreign policy?? He's been trying to make Obama look weak on foreign policy because he wants to TALK to Iran for ages, but now his mentor and idol, W, is in Europe right now pushing for diplomacy with Iran. I guess he missed that memo.

Obama fans are Childish. Whats with all the name calling. No wonder us Hillary supporters don't want to support him. I dont want people to think Im one of YOU!

Everyday McSame continues to sound and look older and older. And I worry about that and what those years in captivity have done to him mentally. He reminds me of the jokes of Reagan being so old he may press the red button by accident. What I see is my grandfather having a ( everyone just leave me alone moment, then not recalling it). McSame will send our kids off to war and want be able to recall it.

No matter who he picks as VP McSame would still be the President….SCARY

He reminds me of that poor horse with two broken legs.Hes down and out,right out of the gate.

And Mit would probably legalize poligamy again. He's their prophet dontcha know.

My response to Lo-Jack is that part of the reason we have so many veterans is because people like McCain and Bush pushed for a war that was not merited. I was fully behind going into Afghanistan– even though any war is problematic on so many levels– for we had clear intelligence that the 9/11 masterminds came from training camps within that country. Perhaps if we had spent our resouorces their, we might have caught Bin Laden and helped Afghanistan get back its life, one not policed by the Taliban

Getting OUT OF Iraq is McCains LOWEST Priority. Just Like Bush he knows the longer we stay there the more BILLIONS they can get out of congress to give to their friends.

Ask yourselves this. WHY can the U.S. crank out the worlds best trained people in the ARMY, NAVY, AIRFORCE and MARINES in 90 Days of Training but the Iraqis have had YEARS to train and still can't do ANYTHING by themselves???

Saw reported this morning that Iraq is talking buddy buddy with Iran saying they don't want us there anyway so WHY????

If we made them self sufficient then WHERE WOULD WE SEND ALL THOSE BILLIONS every month????

Get it?

Now, now, let's not be too hasty to judge Senator McCain. I understand that he often times told his friends at the Hanoi Hilton that his release date was not important. At least he is consistent.

I'm a veteran and I like Obama. I don't see what a lot of people are saying are "scary" things that Obama is does. What I would like to know is:

What is so scary about Obama?

What is your evidence?

How can you support a candidate that self admits that he knows nothing about the economy or anything else much besides the war? (He's only running on that one item. Past that, he doesn't have any substance)

Do you really think Roe v. Wade will be repealed? (That's a matter of law, not what the President wants. Otherwise, Bush would have already done so.)

I don't see any problems with gays being married. What they do in the privacy of their own homes is their business, not yours and not mine.

Do you really think that the war in Iraq and 9/11 were tied together? You would believe anything then. I've got some desert property here in Florida for you to buy. Lots of heat and no humidity. For Iran to attack us, they have to have a good reason. They don't want to come over here and live. They like where they're living right now. If we were to be wiped off the face of the earth, the entire global economy would collapse, and they realize that. They aren't stupid, unlike some people.

Mcsame is just as confused as President Bush who is now regreting his comments preceeding the Iraq war. To the vindictive Hillary supporters who want to vote for Mcsame may God help you all, your shame will be full when Obama is sworn in as our next President come January 09.

So I noticed some new attacks on Obama now include likening him to Carter and also referring to him as a Socialist/Marxist.

This won't work on me because a. I wasn't cognizant during the Carter years but I am aware that republican policies in place today have failed in all fronts (foreign policy, domestic, and the economy) and the republican nominee wants to continue practically every single one of these failed policies and b. I happen to be educated and I know that socialism means that the state controls and owns everything and that is clearly not what Obama or any Dem for that matter stands for. I find it ridiculous that you have the gall to use this argument when the current President has basically abused his executive office powers, making a mockery of checks and balances, and dragged this country through the mud for the last 8 years.

So try again Republicans, the people are waking up to your tired smear tactics and this time, even Rove won't be able to save you -you're going down!

I mean, honestly what does win in iraq mean to mccain, establish a democracy or kingdom and eliminate Alkaida (or what ever). That should end all the hate we get from the middle east.

What paralell universe are you on Mcsame, that is never going to happen, not in your or our life time. So quit feeding us that "air" about staying till the job is done. And stop using our presence in Germany or Japan as examples.
If you have not got this by now, these are islamic states, they don't care what you do.

Go Dem ,

Obama was ridiculous of negotiating with Iran,,,what President Bush said today 10 June in Germany….""Diplomacy is first choice in Iran standoff"

And McCain was ridicule Obama, he should fire his Commander in Chief…..

So a timeline for withdrawal out of Iraq is "not important" in John McCain's eyes.

God help our children AND Grandchildren, who may get drafted into this war.

MCain has already admitted, point blank, that he doesn't agree with the majority of Americans on Iraq.

So…let's see….he's admittedly out of touch on Iraq, admittedly doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to the economy….

How exactly is he still pulling down 44% of the electorate?

Overall, McCain is in touch. . in touch with those that still cling to an old paradigm.

Obama represents the beginning of a new era, but it is not so much because of the man as it is the collective we in search of a new path, a new way of relating, a new way of living.

The scales are beginning to tip as more and more folks realize the need to let go of the dominant survival-based mentality.

There is a new paradigm emerging, and depending on your perspective you'll either embrace it and take an active role in nurturing it and pushing aside obsolete boundaries or you'll continue to live in a state of fear and apprehension, and run from an opportunity to not only reinvent yourself but the world in which we live.

"Don't be afraid to feel insecure."

Peace.

Poor fella he is just not to bright

A President can't overturn Roe V Wade by the way. That decision would be made by the Supreme Court

Wanted to post this on the other ticker, but my lunch break is almost over, so I'll say it here.

BTW: Brian from Knoxville, Hitler called. He wants his swastika back.

Okay, a couple of things:

1. Romney lost, so go away

2. Hillary lost, so all of her supporters who are still bringing her loss up, its over. Go vote for McCain and shut up.

3. I was alive when Carter was in office and I know that the Republicans made a deal to have the hostages held until Reagan got into office. Carter inherited a mess from Ford and Nixon

4. Reagan set the Civil Rights, Women's Rights, and Human Rights back 40 years. He cut any program designed to help the poor and caused what is known as "Reaganomics", the good ole trickle down theory. I often wonder why conservatives love him so much. He literally ruined this country and caused quite a long stream of inflation.

5. The Republicans are desperate and will do or say anything right now to get elected, including saying that they love Hillary. Apparently, none of these people remember the impeachment hearings and Kenneth Starr.

South Korea, Japan, Germany are not Iraq. But I know how McCain thinks and why he says what he does. Stay in Iraq long enough until Iraq becomes stablized and there is no violence against Amercian troops, i.e. South Korea, Japan, Germany. But he is comparing apples and oranges. The complexity of the issues in Iraq are too much for McCain's brain. Now what if we said North Korea, Iran and Cuba. Do we have troops there? And if we did would the situations be stable and would there be no violence aganist American troops? And why is it we do not have troops in these areas. Because like Iraq we would not be welcomed and we would not be seen as liberators. We would have our backs against the wall playing policeman in streets that would errupt frequently and at will. The locals (partisans) would fight a terrorists war aganist the US until at some point, and not unlike Britain during the Amerfcian Revolution or Russia after their invasion of Afghanistan, we would say enough is enough and come home. But those with a brain and some common sense know we have already reached that point in Iraq. It is time to come home.

There is absolutley nothing wrong hunting down and eliminating terrorists who threaten or do harm to the U.S. But to send Amercian troops into another country for the long haul in order to nation build and to police the population is insane (especially in countries where there are several factions that do not want U.S. presence in the area).

In such cases (terrorists), hunt those individuals down who provide leadership and orgnaization to these groups, kill them, and then get the hell out of the location where they were located. Do the same with leaders of nations who can be proven support and train such terrorists. Target them and kill them with special teams or by way of CIA infiltration and then leave. To win a war against terrorists one has to learn to fight like a terrorists. Sending thousands of troops to expose themselves while patroling the streets of an unstable and violence prone nation is not the answer. If McCain does not understand that he has no business running for President of this country. Our only option is to get our troops home from Iraq, regroup and retrain special teams to infiltrate and kill terrorists, and stop these attempts to nation build in parts of the world where the people are not ready or prepared to create a democracy.
[evertroops into

I am sick and tired of people saying I am not voting for obama because he got the nomination rather the will vote for john well if that's the case why call your salf a democrat or indepent because obama and hilray policy is 95pecent the same so if you can vote base on policies and values then why are you voting?

Hillary suuporters, come join the Obama Camp. We believe in equality where every person will be put on a solitary economic platform. Check your ideals and diplomacy at the door, we plan to take care of EVERYTHING. We have a five year plan, its brilliant, I won't tell you what it is but by the time you'll live to regret it, it will be far too late. We at the Obama camp are completely in touch with a majority of all voters, as we've never made a decision that beared a significant amount of responsiblity. All we expect in return is blind obidience while we, and our great friends Farrakahn, Franken, Wright and the KKK… you'll be in good company

OBAMA '08 (the new RED STATE)

To all Hillary supporters:
Hillary is a woman for sure, but she is not a good woman candidate. Choosing a woman candidate does not mean choosing a bad one. Now all of you do not sell yourself to Mcain for such a bad logical error. Stand behind Obama and I am sure you will get your voice heard.

"Here they go again!". The Democrats are twisting the spirit of what John McCain had said. Isn't it true that for many decades the US has positioned troops around the globe to insure stability in specific regions? Isn't it true that there is no greater regional instability than what we currently have in the Middle East? Isn't it true that if we were not sustaining casualties American's would have less negative feelings about being in the Middle East?

No one person can be expected to have all the answers to the many questions that are being asked. America needs a President with the experience and wisdom to recognize the right answer when he/she sees it. Obama can't recognize a wayward preacher in his own church; never mind the answer to a very difficult international crisis that threatens the very freedoms we all enjoy and take for granted.

Talk is cheap. The ability to focus and act on sound judgement is what separates effective leaders from effective orators.

Don't bet on veterans for McCain. I am a Viet Nam veteran. I respect the sacrifices McCain made as a naval aviator and P.O.W. I will not vote for him. Politically, he's out of touch, and out of options. He is a wife-beater. He calls women all kinds of nasty names. He divorced his first wife because she became disabled and he didn't want to deal with it. He has voted against a veteran's benefits bill because it was "too expensive". He can't control his temper (has punched other Senators). Nope. I don't need a grumpy old man running my country. I don't give a rat's rectum if he IS a veteran. He's a basket case.

Mr. MacCain can't make it. He is losing his bearings.

It sounds like the racists were suddenly surprised by Obama's victory. They are in pure panic. Let me tell you something. What God has planned cannot change its course like they use to do with the rivers. You'd better bow before it's late folks!

He obviously would say the differences between Sunni's, Shiite's and Kurd's in Iraq don't really matter either! Also, spouting the idiotic phrase we are going to win in Iraq? If they can ever live in peace together, then we will have won!
