Will Democrats ‘Daisy’ McCain?

Extremely important anecdotes about John McCain.

In 2000 America thought Bush would be a better president than McCain. Its true we we elect McCain then America is doomed.

McCain can’t wait for another war. He is a hothead with a temper. Obama is more thoughtful and will prevent wars that don’t have to be fought.

The more the NYT attacks McCain, the more the Republican base gets fired up. The people who are going to vote for McCain will take the NYT attacks as a SYMBOL of McCain’s qualifications to be POTUS. Also, the people who seriously read the NYT are not going to vote for McCain anyway. The NYT should either just report objectively or stay out of things. They make things worse for the left when they try to help. Idiots

McCain’s eyes really light up when he talks about his black and white world view, sacrifice and causes that are greater than our own self interests.
I am not that keen on following McCain’s tough talk down a road that could end in many battles and a war or two.
He said that he “wants to fill out his education by talking some art classes.” I think the world will be safer with McCain working in pastels.

“Peacenuts. Why do you think Putin moved in Georgia?
Because you and the press have weakened the President so much with your adolescent yammering that Putin pretty much figures he can do whatever he wants….that’s why?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Putin moved because the U.S. military is bogged down in a costly war of choice in Iraq.
The fact is, whether you like it or not, Putin can do any damn thing he likes right now, and because of the Bush/McCain foreign policy, we have no recourse but to continue begging them to stop.

You really can not change who you are -McCain is very likely to take us to another war – no doubt about that-
you can see it , you can feel it, and you may see it if he is elected and we were faced with an international crisis,
especailly if he surrounds himself with the likes of Rummy, Cheany, Rice -
Give credit to Colin Powell -
Obama need to ahve as his secretary of state of Defense

notafool.
Recent polls say that less than fifteen percent of voters think that Iraq is still an issue. Those number continue to drop as success rolls along. Some of these bloggers will never accept that no matter what.

The NY Times has done everything but admit that they are in the tank for Obama and slant their stuff accordingly. NO SURPRISE HERE. Also people who watch the evening news on a regular basis are give a pro dem slant -EVERY NIGHT – no wonder so many people are politically misinformed.

” -McCain is very likely to take us to another war”
Why so…Eisenhower did not. Grant did not. I don’t think Andrew Jackson did so.
A good question to research is whether any military man has EVER taken the country into a war. Of hand, I can’t think of one.

Many years ago I was attending a Quaker boarding school(high school). Ike (General Eisenhower) was running against Stevenson. Almost all students and staff were dems and supported Stevenson. I happened to ask our very elderly school nurse(Quaker)who she was going to vote for. She said “Oh, I like Ike.” I was pretty much floored. I asked why. She responded, “Who knows more about keeping the peace than a man of war.” Very wise lady as that’s exctly what Ike did do for eight years. He kept the peace. McCain seems in the same mold.

AND, OBAMA OWNS MOST OF THE NEWS MEDIA, THE ENTERTAINMENT MEDIA, MOST GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES, MOST UNIONS AND MOST OF ACADEMIA….. AND AFTER ALL OF THAT HE IS ONLY TIED WITH MCCAIN…. ISN’T SOMETHING CLICKING IN FOR YOU?

Mr. Coffee – your post is a stretch. McCain was a man of war just like Ike. Even more so, he was a prisoner of war unlike Ike. McCain CAN make decisions based upon his experiences in war and world affairs. Obama CANNOT in that he has has had NO experience in either. Obama’s foolish predictions re. Iraq are a good example of Obama’s unpreparedness for the presidency.

People who compare McCain to Eisenhower and Grant miss a very important distinction: both of those presidents had been in positions of command. In the military, McCain was merely a fighter pilot, in charge of only his own aircraft. He was never responsible for making strategic decisions.
People who say the war in Iraq is over are ignoring the daily deaths of Iraqi citizens caused by terrorist attack.

Those that say McCain walked the walk are dumber then dirt. This man cost the Navy, taxpayers, and his first wife plenty by being a “Hot Dogger”. The man should not be placed in charge of a box of rocks, much less the USA.

McWar?
Sure, that’s all he want – more war, more war, more war.
(seems with low intellect he does not know anything else).

Linda.
Can you be more specific? What country has McCain said he wants to go to war with? Source?

Obama needs to study the Principal of the Seven Ps. Prior proper planning prevents ___ poor performance.

Senator John McCain should be recognized and applauded for his service to our country.This does not automatically give him carte blanche for the Presidency. His bloodthirst for war is not commendable nor healthy for our country, the United States of America. I feel Senator Obama deserves a chance to make a difference. His youth and energy should serve our country well. Senator McCain should retire from politics. His ideology is too reminiscent of our current administration and CHANGE is needed. War is not the answer Senator McCain, being a veteran should have taught you that a long time ago.

I am still waiting for an answer….. can someone out there tell me what was the honorable mission in Iraq?? Why did we lose 4000 brave heroes?? Dont tell me to install Democracy, dont tell me to fight Osama bin Laden, dont tell me to remove saddam Hussien, don’t tell me for weapons of mass destruction. So can someone tell me what was the cause?? Freedom for Iraq?? Please dont tell me we spent 1 trillion dollars, scarred a generation of soldiers and reduced our military for democracy and freedom?? They have 100 Billion reasons to smile those Iraq citizens. Thats how much money they have sitting in a bank while you and I pay our taxes so we can build schools and mcdonalds in Iraq. We were lied into this Iraq fiasco day after day. Oil meney will pay for it, we will find nuclear weapons, stockpiles of chemicals. Yet no one has been brought to trial for this. Iraq is the biggest hoax in the history of humankind. I being a student of history know that the great empires of the past destroyed themselves from within by thinking they could force the rest of the world to be like them. These past attempts all failed. Alexander the great, the Muslims, the crusaders and even the Roman Empire. Did you know that the roman empire also had to hire outside contractors because the military was stretched thin?? Study your history folks or else “you are doomed to relive it”

News Flash Manitu. We still have uh uh an economy to run. An economy that your buddies have run to the ground and alienated our allies. Do you live in America. Do you ride a bicycle, do you have a clue of want we are facing at home. We’re Borrowing money, we spending money in iraq to rebuild it and our bridges are falling. Wake up.

By all means, the Dems should highlight McCain’s tendencies to jump vaingloriously on the war bandwagon. After reading the NYT article, I’ve come to the conclusion McCain is like Don Quixote chasing windmills, except he’s earnestly out to destroy them and anyone nearby. The NYT link brought up that soon after 911, McCain proclaimed Al Qaeda was behind the attacks. Never mind, 15 out of the 19 hijackers were Saudi and it was refuted early on that there was no Iraq connection. Never mind, Wanahabism (sp?), the 14th century based extremist version of Islam, was exported from Saudi Arabia. Now he’s waxing bellicose on Russia, like the Bush administration, with a disregard for regional history and the recent chronology of events. I would hope his trigger happy reflexes are examined, and that there’s more originality than daisies involved.
