McCain is the most honest of the three people running. But I’m finally learning a little about where he wants to take the country and it’s sounds like more of the same if not worse. He wants tax cuts for corporations, including big oil; major changes to health insurance, including those of us who already have insurance; a “win” in Iraq, which can only mean that we spend more American lives to build an Islamic government; views on domestic issues that don’t square with what most Americans believe, and a little faking with the evangelicals. I like that he’s sometimes brutally honest, but I just don’t like his policies and I don’t want my daughter to have to pay for them for the rest of her life.

Ihave always advocated that presidential candidates should have a psychological evaluation.McCAIN( killed abel) is living proof that it is very much needed.

Obama stumbled on Iraq/Iran….I’m sure he knows the difference….perhaps it’s all about alliteration

This is only fair to discuss, along with 100 Years, because the other two would have been pilloried for these constant mistakes. These are not misstatements. They could be lack of knowledge, which trashes the ‘experience’ angle McCain once had.

The impetus behind McCain’s war making urges are clear,ignorance of the facts and a possibly senile mind steeped in bigotry. Let’s not forget that he “hated the gooks.”
Sunnis, Shi’ites, doesn’t matter…right Mr. McCain? All that matters is that we send our servicemen to kill them. After all, they’re all Muslims, my friends.
God help the United States of America. We need it.

good lord, spock! How old are you 90?
Your views on war are archaic at best.
I remember going to Vietnam because if we didn’t fight them there, we’d be fighting the “sanpans coming up the Rio Grande!!!” The domino theory may be alive and well in your brain, but it was disproven many moons ago!
Support the Troops! Bring them HOME!!!
Obama 2008 — Yes, WE CAN!!!

McCain…
Do we really need a President who finished 894th out of 899 in his graduating class?
I don’t think so. It would SO nice to have, just for a change, some intelligence in the White House.

I am not a McCain supporter, but the first time he made the mistake, I didn’t take it seriously – everyone misspeaks. But, right now, the count of the number of times he has made this error is at FIVE. You would think he would have been careful about this after having Joe Lieberman correct him in front of hordes of cameras. Imagine if Obama or Clinton made this same error FIVE times and that too, in front of Petraeus and their other colleagues. McCain would be hollering from the rooftops about their lack of knowledge and experince, blah, blah. He SHOULD NOT be held to a different standard.

Jason you said that McCain’s son has served in Irak and he went there 8 times but still he cannot make a difference between shia and sunni, between AlQaeda and Iran. What a shame, can he learn at all? His brain should be too old for him to learn anything anymore. Next time he will be viiting Irak he should invite his beloved friend “Hill the Bosnian General” so she could hlep him to understand the difference between Suni-Shia-AlQaeda-Iran-Snipers. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.
