This is where John Wayne -Mc Cain's big mouth can't chew all that cud his eyes think they see. We can't help Georgia, and everybody with half a brain knows this so the policy adviser is blowing smoke. And his campaign again shows how ignorant they are in tryin to criticize Barack on the little he said. You don't go yappin at the gums to a big bully who's pounding some little person especially if you can't defend the victim. "That's not change we can believe in" OB1 08" EXACTLY.

But despite all of that, we have a President and we have not heard a peep out of him since getting back from the olympics on this topic. So once again McCain and Bush are lock step on just sabre rattling and doing nothing and they criticized Obama for having a measured response until more facts from the ground known. Yes this is a perfect example of how McCain will be just like Bush and we need a new direction and someone who can handle crisis, vs. just saying that they jet skiied together. If Obama had said that the media would have been all over him for being elite or whatever. We don't have have enough troops due to the Iraq War to help Georgia and McCain and Bush both know it.

More nonsensical political rambling.

Sometimes I just feel sorry for McCain. He wants to be the President so badly, and he's trying so hard, but he can't seem to do anything right, and he just doesn't have a prayer. Poor guy.

Now McCain can save him. McCain can't pronounce his name but now he can talk tough about Georgia and if Russia doesn't stop, well we'll, we'll.... We'll think of something to do that will make them sorry for bombing or not bombing that oil pipeline.

We no longer have the moral standing in the world to intervene in any other country's political fights, much less the soldiers, guns, and money. Senator Obama understands this; McCain chooses to ignore it. If you want another term of baseless threats and (god forbid) mindless carnage on the world stage, vote for McCain.
