Sticking it to John McCain

Bumper_sticker_mcw3Florida Democrats are holding a contest to design an anti-McCain bumper sticker, hoping to forever link the Republican presidential nominee with the current White House occupant. Designs are due May 11. Details here.

But let's open it up a bit. What are some ideas for a snarky Obama sticker? How about Hillary Clinton?

Alex, nice display of pro-Dem anti-McCain sentiment, thinly-veiled by the lame CYA of "let's open it up."

This is the same blog that published the brainstorm of having the Dems put Al Gore on the Florida ballot, and qualified that with "just thinking out loud here."

Nice work, Karen Thurman, even if earned media is so much easier when all the "journalists" are on your side.

McCain '08 - Ready on Day One .. for a nap.

McCain '08 - Don't know nuthin' 'bout economy...

So to wrap up: McCain is Old/Bush, and Obama is a scary black person OR I heard Obama is muslim

Ditto 11:47

Loyalty is the Real Deal.

Hillary Billary.

Wow....some of these cracks are pretty good!

Why don't all you extremists who drive your party's agendae realize those of us in the middle hate all the candidates.

Are Osama Obama, Shrillary, and McSame
the best America can do?

Excuse me while I McYawn!
The idiotic and constant posting on this blog that McCain is a Bush clone from top to bottom is truly laughable.

With Bush’s approval ratings in the toilet, it’s easy to see the Democrats are trying to pick off low hanging fruit. Showing how lacking in creativity they are. They’ve been Bush haters for this long, so why give up now? And why resist the temptation to hang the Bush albatross around the GOP’s neck, which would seem to be their trump card in another down year for Republicans?

The problem is that it runs counter to some deeply ingrained perceptions about McCain, the most transparently un-Bush candidate Republicans could have nominated. How does one overlook the fact that among Republican primary voters most dissatisfied with Bush, McCain dominated. Or McCain’s bitter rivalry with the President that lingered long beyond the 2000 election, culminating in charges that he threatened to leave the party, and now, that he didn’t even vote for President Bush in 2000?

The Democrats have chosen to run the same campaign against McCain as they would have run against Romney or Huckabee. This will turn out to be a strategic mistake. Why? Because they ignore the new media reality that no amount of points on television can overturn a narrative backed up by the free media. The left’s “McSame” campaign is an example of the particularly crude communications tactic of countermessaging. Countermessaging consists solely of challenging a prevailing public narrative. The media is not liberal. There was no housing bubble. Global warming is a myth.

The problem is that this particularly uninventive form of “McCain Maverick Denial” is the Democrats’ central strategy for discrediting McCain. Few people who aren’t partisan Democrats actually believe it. If you ask undecideds about McCain’s comparative weaknesses, Bush-coziness would not be close to the top of the list in the same way it would be for a more conventional Republican.

We are in an era of authenticity, where free media narratives reign, then you’re limited to arguing based on a candidate’s actual weaknesses and strengths. In a few cases, you can create weaknesses if you’re operating in an evergreen open space where there are no public perceptions yet either way. Unfortunately for the anti-McCain bloggers on here, Bush-McCain tensions have been a recurring theme for nearly a decade.

McBush, McSame, etc.----Hardly!!!

Getting Bored - McCain barely eked out a win on points, and in North Carolina (where you'd think he would sweep the votes, being that he's the only person still running on the R side) he only got 74%. 26% of NC Republicans voted for Huckabee or "Other". Keep whistling past the graveyard - he's not that well liked, which is why he's having to suck up to nutballs like John Hagee and Rod Parsely to try and bring the Huckabee voters over. His stated policies so far are more of the same Bush boilerplate, so the "four more years of W" tag is very accurate.

Only now the monkeys have keyboards.

"Keep whistling past the graveyard" Last time I heard some pompous lefty like Chris W use that phrase, it 2004 and that a-hole told me Bush didn't have a chance to beat Kerry.

Chris W--Keep drinking that liberal kool aid!! McCain IS NOT another Bush. What part of is not do you not comprehend. I did not vote for Bush but I will vote for McCain over the socialist/communist U.S. hater Obama and his freak of a wife! I don't want four years like those we had under J. Carter--and that's what Obama will give us. So, if you love Carter, vote for Obama he's more of the SAME!

12:50 (the first one), I'm not a "pompous lefty". But thanks for playing, and see the receptionist on the way out for your parting gifts.

12:50 (the second one), McCain maybe didn't start out as Dubya Bush the second, but he's morphing that way as fast as he can. He's sucking up to every mouth-breathing dingbat fundamentalist blowhard he can find, he's fine with staying in Iraq just about forever and he doesn't know anything about economics. He's thin-skinned and verbally abuses his trophy wife in front of people.

John McCain is a leftover man. He's a hard-right conservative wearing a moderate costume and makeup, and we have had eight years too many of a right-wing administration. He's a die-hard Republican in an era where Democrats have a double-digit identification advantage over Republicans and have won special elections in districts that ran R+10 or more in '04.

McCain '08 - "ummmm... I like fish!"

Short and sweet!!!!

Quote of the week from our esteemed friend Sir Charles Barkley:

"Poor People have been voting for Democrats for the last 50 years, .............and they are still poor."

I bet Obama would never abuse his tranny wife....she'd beat the s... out of the wimp!

McCain ’08 – “Because it’s my turn!”

Clinton ’08 – “Because it’s my turn!”

Obama ’08 – “Because it’s YOUR turn!”

McCain ’08 – “Because it’s… what was I supposed to say again?”

Obama = four years of the failed policies of Jimmy (Failed Me) Carter.

One morning Snow White went looking for the Seven Dwarfs and couldn’t find them anywhere. She went outside and heard noices in the well near the house. Looking down in the well, she heard a faint voice from deep within the well, singing . . .

"Vote for Barack Obama! - Vote for Barack Obama!"

Snow White fell to her knees, crossed herself and prayed, 'Oh, thank you God! At least Dopey is still alive!

Obama '08 - Support the black liberation movement (look it up).

Obama '08 - Finishing what Che started.

McCain -- same old, same old.

Just re-warmed better.

Poor people have been voting for Democrats for the last 50 years, .............and they are still poor, but not starving to death as before."

Rich people have been voting for Republicons for the last 50 years, .............and they are still rich, but the rest of us are poor because of it.

McCain ’08 – “A Citrical in every pot!”

McCain ’08 – “A draft card in every pot!”

McCain ’08 – “Because old people… Hey: is that a duck?”

McCain '08 - "The other dried beef!"

McCain '08 - Impossible to Underestimate
McCain '08 - Kissing Fundamentalist Butt Since 2004
McCain '08 - Armageddon? Armageddon Who? Armageddon Outta Here!
McCain '08 - I Believe in Evolution Except When I Need Votes

Gar-on-tee 90% of the McSame Lovers posting here were hating him violently during the primaries. Gar-on-tee!

4:13 PM

Have you ever had an original thought? You seem only capable of repeating everything in reverse that is posted. Of course, that is the sign of a Democrat--no brains to think or present a defensible position. You are a very troubled individual. I hope you receive some counseling before McCain is elected so that you don't commit suicide. Your hatred is really showing through.

I'm concerned about Obama. Because as a white and a Jew, I see signs of him being willing to get the ovens going again just like in Germany. I don't trust him or anyone who supports him who are out to destroy all good about the U.S. and those who are "different" than him and his supporters.

Sorry, meant my post be directed to:

5:28;5:31 Probably the same person since they all lack any substance.

Worrying about the return of the “Ovens” is way off base. What we should fear is the destruction of the U.S. by the terrorists who want to use Obama as their MESSIAH to “bless” their goal of wreaking havoc on anyone who disagrees with their cause to dominate the world!

Ahmed Yousef, a ranking official of the Islamic terrorist organization Hamas, recently declared we like Barack Obama and we hope he will win the election. Gleb Pavlovsky, a key adviser to both Vladimir Putin and Dmitri Medvedev, has called McCain the worst choice and Obama the best.
Hugo Chávez, the radical socialist president of Venezuela, has not endorsed Obama so directly. But he has been busy lambasting McCain as a man of war. Over in Iran, the intelligence ministry has put out a public-service television broadcast in which a fictional villain, who just happens to be named John McCain, is portrayed orchestrating numerous conspiracies against the Islamic Republic. North Korea's state-controlled newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, has accused McCain along with others in U.S. ruling quarters of trying to mount a base and challenge to North Korea as part of a bid to strangle it.

A terrorist kingpin like Khaled Meshal, the head of Hamas, will not sleep particularly well with a president in the White House like McCain who describes himself as Hamas' "worst nightmare." And dictators like Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and North Korea's Kim Jong Il may believe it will be far easier to deal with an American president like Obama, who has pledged to talk with them no matter what they say or do or how many people they kill (even our own).

The obvious possibility flowing from all this is that one or more of these terrorist players might do everything in its power to hurt McCain and help Obama. With the future of the U.S. presence in Iraq before the electorate, the stakes will be that much higher and the incentives to wreak havoc will be immense. The most obvious being an increase in violence in Iraq to hurt the "pro-war" candidate and help elect someone who has pledged to withdraw. Al Qaeda might try something similar here in the U.S; using this to declare victory over the U.S. and weaken us throughout the world if Obama is elected.

An attempt to use violence to sway the American electorate one way or the other could easily backfire. The Democrats would love to see some “killing” right before the Election—in hopes that would encourage votes for Obama. However, I don’t think the Democrats or our terrorist adversaries really understand the will and commitment of REAL AMERICANS—not the many wimp Democrats who would raise the white flag and turn our country over to anyone to avoid conflict.

McCain was a supporter of the invasion of Iraq, and a proponent of the surge long before it was a glimmer in Bush's eye. Obama has pledged to pull all American combat brigades out of Iraq no matter what the Joint Chiefs of Staff tell him, or what is happening on the ground. That’s absolutely stupid and shows Obama’s naïve approach and lack of understanding of foreign relations!

Obama is not who I want protecting me and my family! This is the real issue for me; not Obama’s pastor, his wife sexual orientation, his race or other non-important concerns being stupidly presented by some of the liberals on this blog.

(Extracts from a recent article in the WSJ on the subject)

You had better stay off here. You actually make sense!

Too bad there isn't a box to vote for "none of the above." I may just have to sit this one out.

McCain will bring about the end of the world. So it is written, so it will be done if we're stupid enough to vote him in.

Obama will bring about the end of the United States. So it is written, so it will be done if we're stupid enough to vote him in. The Messiah is not what he seems! He is a lover of Islam!

9:20 Gar-on-teed political hack. yeah, Obama is al Qaida and a racist. Do you realize how ridiculous and desperate you sound?

McCain = Black Hat 2008! wear it and enjoy it you right wingnutz.

Jenna "McSame" Bush; unable to break out of boring Bush destiny, marries whitebread yuppie GOP loser. What a sell out.

McSame = Senile garden gnome.

Obama = racist pig

Hamas & Al-Qaeda terrorists likely rooting for Obama

Chris W: what part do you disagree with, the pompous or the liberal? You're certainly full of yourself and your certainly a lib.

But losing 90% of your brain cells under torture does not make you a good president. Retire with honor, confused hero, and let other people do the heavy lifting now.

Wait until the big news breaks during the general election about Obama's affair with a female intern. It's on hold by a NYC paper until the right time. He's going to be blown away as soon as the media lets loose with the story. Will make old John and the Keating Five look like nothing. Also, Obama's house purchase deal in Chicago isn't yet fully vetted by the media. Don't trust the media, they will set up Obama as the leader and then help McCain to destroy him. Just the way it is in politics.

11:26 PM....WHO IS CONFUSED? OBAMA THINKS WE HAVE 57 STATES!!! I GUESS HE WAS INCLUDING SOME OF THE ISLAMIC COUNTRIES THAT WILL BECOME PART OF THE U.S. WHEN HE BECOMES PRESIDENT. NO WONDER PEOPLE DON'T TRUST THE GUY. EVEN HILLARY HAS HIGHER MARKS ON TRUST. AND MCCAIN BEATS THE H... OUT OF BOTH OF THEM ON THAT FACTOR.

Poor John McCain. Exactly the kind of lying swiftboating political hacks (11:29 and 11:33) that he once claimed to hate have now become his main supporters. John, you should have gone ahead and switched parties, because the honest Republicans are now long gone.

George Bush lied to get us into a war which has ruined a once prosperous economy under a Democratic President. Does any republican, especially one who has embraced the endorsement of George Bush, deserve to lead our country?

John McCain, there's still plenty of time to regain your soul. Repent and renounce George Bush and promote your own moderate agenda. (But of course, that would cost you the selfish neocon vote and the election, wouldn't it?) Nevermind, sell out, appease the wingnuts, and settle with God later.

You all sure must FEAR John McCain. Why keep posting about him if he's toast in the general election. Just forget about him and move on to the crowning of King Osama H. Obama. I mean, after all, McCain is just an old Republican who can't get anyone to vote for him. I would expect this to not even be a close Election. But then again, maybe some to the Democrats aren't so sure about Osama winning it all. He's sure having his problems with Hillary and the rest of the white, working class folks who don't identify with his elite, sissy style. By the way, which branch of service did Osama serve? It was with Bin Laden wasn't it?

12:23 AM---BIG DEAL!!!

Wait until the intern story comes out on Obama. The proverbial will hit the fan!

11:07 - Me? I'm just having fun watching you thrashing around trying to be clever and failing at it.

11:29 - A quick Google search turns up nothing on Obama having an affair with an intern, and there would be at least something in the GOP sludge generators about it if it were remotely believable.

McCain, on the other hand, did cheat on his first wife to marry a sugar-mama who's helping bankroll his campaign (and who he doesn't treat very well).

8:27 - You don't really know how politics works, do you? We keep pointing out McCain's very real and very large character flaws, and it reinforces the doubts and general dissatisfaction that GOP voters have with him; hopefully it keeps them home on election day and hurts Republicans in down-ballot races. We keep pointing out the devil's bargain he's making with the nutjob evangelicals to get their support, and it makes the independents say goodbye to their old illusions about McCain the "independent" and liberals stop seeing him as a "maverick", and they swing over to the Democratic side and we can put the GOP in the attic for a while until they come to their senses.

Dream on Chris W. You are living in la la land!

Stay tuned on the intern situation. Not everything is available via Google or the GOP sludge generator. You will see and it is going to be a real stunner.

More wishful thinking by Chris and the liberals. The Evangelicals will turn out in force. Why? Because this election is between the fans of Marx and Engels and the fans of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. I'll give the Evangelicals the benefit over the socialists and communists when push comes to shove.

You got it! When those Christian hating Obama supporters lay out their secularist plans, that will really fire up the evangelicals. McCain or whomever the R candidate is will get the support. You ain't seen nothing until you see the religious right upset--all the youth vote and black vote in the world won't get out with the force of these folks.

I see many comments about how Obama is ahead of McCain in several polls. You can forget that because of something called the "Bradley Effect".

In 1982, Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, who was black, was predicted to win the governor’s race by a comfortable margin but lost.

The post-election findings were that it’s not socially acceptable to say things about race and gender, but in the secrecy of the voting booth, they come out. That’s why polls are not accurate when it comes to true feelings on race and gender, especially race.

SNOBama

That's a great website!! Makes me want to vote for McCain even more. Shows the ignorance, hate and fright of the liberals who oppose him.

Go JOHN beat OSAMA!

P.S. Also shows us how stupid liberals are---they can't even post accurately.

Here is a blog with some great pictures of Obama's wife while she was "in process" of changing things:

http://hopelesslysarcastic.blogspot.com/2007/11/black-transvestites.html

To 2:01 PM....You're wrong. That is Obama while he was "changing" the other way!!!

P.S. Also shows us how stupid republicons are---they can't even steal our taxes accurately.

Hamas & Al-Qaeda terrorists love Barack Obama!!!!!!!!!!

2:12 PM That Obama Campaign material has some good ones. My two favorite tee shirt sayings are:

1. "Vote Democrat It's Easier Than Working"

2."Liberal (noun) An Open Minded Individual Whose Brain Has Fallen Out." See also: Obama, Democrats, Satan

Chris W should buy one of these, they both seem to apply to him and others who post on the blog.

Chris W, please ease off on McCain; you've got his graybeard followers about to blow an embolism. It doesn't do any good to argue with those so demented that they can't even see that our country is living the conservative Republican failure even as we speak.

We need Change, not more of the McSame.

What do dependz and a size three hat have in common?

You know, if McCain could really appeal to conservative evangelicals he might have gotten James Dobson to endorse him instead of saying (on the record) that he wouldn't vote for him. They know McCain doesn't really like them or trust them, and they've never really forgiven him for calling them "agents of intolerance". He's trying to get his nose in between John Hagee's butt cheeks (*those* pictures are going to play well, just like the ones of McCain making out with Bush), and everyone with more than two brain cells knows he's not sincere.

The fact that he's snuggling up to a nut like Hagee (who supports Israel mainly so there's a place for the Apocalypse to happen, followed by Jesus coming back so they don't have to keep getting laughed at) shows how flexible his "integrity" really is. And the fact that he's even willing to hint that those clowns will have a seat at the policy table (where they really don't belong without an adult guardian) disqualifies him for *any* kind of executive authority at all.

Hamas & Al-Qaeda terrorists love Dubya, Dickey, and Dementia!!!!!!!!!!

McCain ’08 – “Come on; geriatrics should get a Make-A-Wish too!”

Liberals are a bunch of cowards who would sell out our Country in a minute to assure the advance of socialism and destroy our defense against terrorism. AWOL types to the core! The tee shirt slogans say much about the state of the Democrat Party and Obama.

Wonder how many Iraq veterans we have on here. I’m one and glad I didn’t have to serve with some of the yellow-belly elites who are attacking John McCain. Of course they would have turned tail and run at the first sign of conflict. A bunch of wimps. I would't be able to sleep at night if I was still a soldier and had Obama as my Commander in Chief.

I’m not a grey beard and I’ll vote for McCain because he will help assure me that Obama lovers and left wing nut cases like Chris W go crazy when McCain wins and their Messiah is brought down to size.

Obama is a fraud and his supporters are people who are easily influenced and often can't think for themselves or worse are social misfits. Like the idiots who support his socialistic and Islamic ways.

Seek the truth---meet the real Obama:

http://www.obamatruth.org/

Well Robert Blanchard, I guess you slept pretty well at night knowing your current commander in chief was a draft-dodging frat boy drunkard who was awol someplace during his war.

Listen, just because some dumb@ss politician puts an R next to his name doesn't make him a patriot. It might surprise you to know that liberals can and do love the US as much as anyone else. I personally happen to think that the corporatist Republicans have completely sold out every belief this country was founded on.

Now if you think that strapping on a gun and running off to kill some Muslims in order to guarantee Bush and his pals make a big profit is brave, well maybe you're right, but it's also stupid. Did you ever consider that your commander in chief blatantly lied to you? BECAUSE HE DID! YOU ARE DEFENDING A LIAR WHO IS PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF EVERY SOLDIER AND CIVILIAN IN IRAQ. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE, GI JOE, THIS ISN'T WWII, AND YOU ARE FIGHTING AND DYING TO MAKE SOME WEALTHY RICH FOLKS RICHER. BOTTOM LINE.

Now you tell me who supports the troops, someone who wants them to keep on fighting, or someone who wants to end the farce and bring them home?

10:09 etc. Use some of that money that Grover pays you and invest in a moral compass.

10:09 PM

WOW!! Powerful stuff. How in h... did this guy Obama get where he is today. Once this kind of information gets out to the white working class guy, Obama is toast!

10:16 PM: You are the dumb a.. not me. I was serving to allow idiots like you the right of free speech. I'm proud of my service. Unlike you, I love the U.S. and respect Bush, Cheney, etc. who I served under. Too bad we didn't have you over there to give your anti-war sermons to the enemy. They would have loved you. So long traitor, I have seen enough on here to know that you are not anyone I'd want to break bread with. Go ahead and vote for Obama--that is also your right which I have one leg less defending. People like you make me sick.

Robert:

I like Obama because he's a quick learner, isn't stubborn and doesn't treat people like they're stupid. I like Hillary because she's whip-smart and not afraid to cut your guts out with a knife to win.

I don't like McCain for a lot of reasons - too much pandering to right wing evangelical nutjobs, too much corporate whoring and he dumped his first wife for a trophy wife (marriage vows weren't that important to him, I guess). Hillary and Obama are both married to their original spouses, by the way; wonder what that says about *their* family values as opposed to *his* family values, eh?

I'm not that impressed with his grasp of geopolitics, either. The best way to deal with Middle Eastern terrorism is to kill the terrorists and the imams who stoke them up, and follow that up by making the oil that ultimately funds that terrorism much less important to the world economy. If Iran and Saudi Arabia can't depend on petrodollars to run their countries, they'll have to build their human capital and in a generation that religious fundamentalism will lose its luster.

Robert:

On a totally different note, I respect you for the job you did defending this country and I honor you for the sacrifice you made.

10:09 Powerful stuff. Anyone who's not strung out on the red Kool-Aid is bound to wonder - "What has happened to our political system when issues take a back seat to bogus attack ads composed of outright lies and distortions?" Your existence alone proves that voting against your corporate-loving lying GOP minions is the right choice for America.

Obama 2008 "Vote for me...the Radical Racisit of the Century"

Obama 2008 "Vote for me if you want to wear a burka"

Obama 2008 "A camel for every pot"

Obama 2008 "Rev. Wright is my hero..and he can be your next VP"

Billary 2008 "I did Monica before Bill did (and she wasn't that good)"

Billary 2008 "I did Jennifer Flowers before Bill did (and she wasn't that great either)"

Billary 2008 "I was a man before I was a woman"

LJ, you can do better than that. Those aren't even good enough to write on the walls in a bathroom.

News reporter: "So, Obama to what do you attribute your success thus far?"

Obama: "Here...have some Kool-Aid"

News reporter" "I'm not thirsty at the moment. Again, to what do you attribute your success thus far? You are involved in scandal after scandal and yet you still are racking up the super delegate votes?"

Obama: "Here...have some Kool-Aid. It's nice and cold."

News reporter" {slowly sips Kool-Aid}

Obama: "What was it you were asking again?"

News reporter: "Wow. That's some great Kool-Aid. You are the most amazing person I've ever met. You are my hero. You can CHANGE everything around. You ARE Mr. CHANGE. I see everything so clearly now. {asks for more Kool-Aid} Can I be your next press secretary? The economy is going to CHANGE. The gas prices are going to CHANGE. I think I hear harps and trumpets playing. Everything is so perfect now."

2 hours later.....

News reporter: "Damn...what was in the Kool-Aid? I think I was hallucinating there for a while!!! What happened during that interview??"

I'M DEFINITELY VOTING FOR McCAIN in '08

Well, Robert, you believe what you've got to believe. I'm sorry, but it doesn't change the fact that George Bush lied to you, me and every American. Hell, I believed him and supported him, just about everyone did. He took advantage of that trust. If you want to rationalize your loss so that it makes him look like a patriot and me like a traitor, so be it. But remember, we're talking about Iraq, not Vietnam, not even Afghanistan, where we could claim justification. Despite your service, there were no WMDs, which Bush knew, but he still sent troops to fight. His pals got rich, but how many people back home have suffered, are suffering, not because of his mistake, but because of his blatant selfishness? Yes, it's possible to honor your service, but still demand accountability for those responsible for this terrible crime. In fact, I think that is the truly patriotic thing to do in this particular case. Lord knows we don't want to send others to die for corporate gain. About Obama - how ironic that the one candidate who called the war a mistake beforehand, is being branded as unpatriotic, now that he's been proven right.

11:04 Good for you. Very clever, keep it up, you may get what you wish for.

Chris Chris Chris...perhaps it's because neither Obama nor Hillary are worth writing about...even on a bathroom wall. : )

The true character of some of the Obama supporters has really surfaced. Now we have them attacking and demeaning a veteran because he supports Senator McCain. I guess unless you support Mr. Big Ears, you can’t express your point of view. To demean a veteran is most certainly a pathetic act by pathetic people. Shame on them. Classless, just like their candidate!

I love those t-shirts on that Obama site! The best one is....

McGovern
Dukakis
Kerry
Obama?

I ordered one for one of my liberal friends. He will wear it with pride.

Not all of us, 11:20 - some of us can show respect for service and still keep it separate from fitness for office.

11:20 What about pandering to veterans while lying through your teeth and stabbing them in the back? I really worry that people will believe your twisted crap.

Calling a blogger GI Joe and a killer is sure not showing respect. More liberal b... s...!

7:42 - *I* have never done any such thing. Our armed forces have done what we asked of them, and they have done it well. They served our country.

The people who do not deserve our respect are Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld and the rest of the neoconservatives. *They* took advantage of the loyalty and bone-deep honor of the military and used it to try and achieve some very questionable foreign policy objectives; they also lied to the public about how much of a threat Iraq really was. They took their eye off the ball (Afghanistan and al Qaeda), sent orders down from the top to go straight to Baghdad, and managed to leave ammo dumps unguarded (with the result that some 250 million pounds of high explosives went missing, likely winding up in IEDs that cost soldiers like Robert their legs and arms and lives).

Our soldiers served (and serve) us well. Our leaders failed us and lied to us, and McCain wants to continue their policies. That does not speak well of the man, and it is a betrayal of the heroism he showed in Vietnam.

You're a bit sensitive there JERK!

McMoreoftheSame 08

"God d@mn America"
(20+ years listening to Jeremiah Wright)


I'm Barrack Obama, and I approve this message.

Robert Blanchard,

You are one of the heros that help make our country great. Don't ever let anyone make you feel otherwise. My dad immigrated here in the 30's from China and served in the US Army in WWII. Although I never served in the arm forces, I honor everyone that is fighting & dying for our freedom. Remember, FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!

On another note, the U.S. &/or United Nation had the right to attack Iraq even in there was no WMD's.

Iraq was violating UN mandates and no-fly zones and attacking our planes.
Plus the FBI agent that befriended & interview Saddam before he was execute, said that Saddam on purposes made it look like they had WMD'S.

Tell 4,000 brave but dead soldiers, 10's of thousands of brave but maimed for life soldiers, and 10's of thousands of dead Iraqi people that dirty little Saddam tricked our big bad CIA into thinking he had WMD's. Mission Accomplished!

Mission wasn't accomplished but it will be when McCain is elected. The Dems are quitters and want to pull out---which they know they can't. McCain will have the guts to complete the job.

McCain will spill the guts of others to try and complete a job that the Iraqi's themselves won't stand up for and are stealing our money by the fistfull while young men and women from the US die for them to do so. Finishing a job that is righteous is one thing, finishing a job where we are being taken is plain foolish. Why should Americans show resolve when all the Iraqi leadership show is *sses and elbows on the way to the Swiss Bank

Since 1916, no Democrat has ever been elected President without winning West Virginia. Tonight, Hillary Clinton has destroyed Barak Obama there! If the Dems want to win the Presidency, we must nominate Clinton. Obama is just not electable. She is the only Democrat who can beat John McCain.

Do we want racist change like Obama's or Do we want maverick cut the pork change like McCain?


9:54 - That sounded like the echo of the fat lady singing for the GOP in the fall. Even Huckabee admitted that the only hope he has is to pretend that he's not really a Republican, but that won't work too well. All we have to do is run pictures of him snuggling up to George Bush and arm in arm with John Hagee (along with news footage of some of Hagee's loonier statements).

We'll run ad of Obama & jeremiah Wright together and his famous "God D@mn America" and we'll see who wins.

10:44 - Go ahead and do that. It'll remind everyone that Obama *isn't* a Muslim but a Christian, and everybody who goes to church has a pastor or preacher that says really stupid things from time to time.

I've been attending the same Church for 30 years with two pastors. Neither of them EVER said anything as ridiculous or anti-American as did Rev. Wright. So , Mr. Chris W don't do the typical liberal thing and paint ministers with the broad brush of "they all do it". They all don't. But Mr. Obama's did and has for 25 years. That's a fact and Mr. Obama will have to live with that come General Election time.

Obama is another Ralph Nader
Unite, Democrats!

11:23 - It won't matter whether anyone's pastor said anything like Rev Wright. The point is that pastors say loopy things all the time and the "they all do it" will be effective. Do you mean to tell me that you agree with your pastor 100%? If you do, you've checked your brains at the door.

Chris,

Have you been checking the exit polls in Indiana, West Virginia, Ohio, ect..

They all indicate that Rev Wright thing matter big time. This is going to be a huge issue come general election + throw in the fact that Rev Wright may even go on a book tour right before the elections. Can you say CAN'T WIN CANDIDATE?
