Those who make up the past are doomed to repeat their false memories.

And, if we elect him, we are doomed to live in a world where all military actions are by definition victories and all victories are by definition military. After all, all reality is subjective. Right?

Don't let this guy anywhere near the phone at 3:00 am.

The commanders in charge of ground troops argued against the surge in November of 2006 saying it would not add to our ability to achieve success in Iraq because we want the Iraqis to do more, and that more American forces prevent the Iraqis from taking more responsibility for their own future. Apparently McCain feels that our commanders who were in Iraq in 2006 are inexperienced and don't know how to win wars. I thought he listened to our generals on the ground? McCain needs an awakening.

What about us Marines that were in Al Anbar before the surge? Is John McCain saying that we failed and only under his guidance did we then succeed?

He is right. It is not a gaffe (slip-up). It is a clear misunderstanding of the facts that is the result of his lack of knowledge. The more intense the campaign pressure gets on McSenile, the more the desperation and the harder it will be for the press to cover up for this idiot.

Once again, I can't wait for Barack to rip McSame to shreds in the debate(s).

Obama/Sebelius 2008/2012.

So, their strategy now is to say he's not wrong even though the facts prove he's wrong? But he's not because they say so? Wahat? Seriously? That's the best they could come up with. They aren't even trying anymore. They need to put more effort into their lies and spin. I need to feel it! Poor effort on their part. Are we being "Punked"? Okay, Ashton...you can come out now!

In the end, it will come down to whose change are you going to believe in? Whom do you trust to lead our country? Who has paid his dues?

It always does.

Lets be clear about SENATOR McCain. He will say anything to get out of a foxhole, just like he did in Vietnam. This administration, With McCain has denied ever saying anything wrong about all the flubs this administration has done. They will never admit it, and this media we have will never make them. Just like CBS and Katie, they will change the answer if it looks bad.

Cnn was so so quick in calling it a gaffe.

But CNN you Failed to call on all the Obama gaffes.
The guy can’t even have an interview and articulate what he is trying to say, he can only read off of a teleprompter.

We want a debate. That is why he is afraid of debating John McCain.
Obama is all about the Hollywood style politics where McCain is real substance.

CNN you are betraying this nation by your biased reporting.
