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 Hopefully all Americans can agree on one thing, impossible as that may seem.

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. This guy is an idiot.

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. "That’s all fine.

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.

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! 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
