Unbelievable

I am floored that this issue is being blown so much out of proportion. Of course John McCain is correct. Remember, he spent YEARS in a POW camp in North VietNam being tortured and making propaganda videos. How could he not know the history of the Iraq invasion and occupation? He is a national treasure and a national hero. Why would he lie? That's right, he wouldn't. The surge actually started in 2006 when John McCain spoke out courageously regarding the deteriorating security situation in Bagdad. It was his courage that gave George W. Bush, as well as our brave and heroic troops the strength to carry out 'The Surge'. Andrea Mitchell has already said that John McCain would make the best C in C. Mrs. Greenspan is the most respected journalist working today. There is no way she would misrepresent John McCain.

Canada?

Everyone knows that McCain meant leaving the CONTINENT, not the country. Come on, give him a break. He's a war hero who was tortured and made propaganda videos for the communists. All these 'gotcha' moments you are highlighting just shows him to be human. It's endearing to a lot of people. And those people are going to vote for him. Besides, now that Obama has vowed not to persue investigations or prosecutions of any official in government during the last 8 years, McCain is our only hope for seeing justice done to the Bush administration.

Original article: Quote of the day

Protect the 'interest'?

All the congress wants to protect America's 'interests' in Iraq. They mean OIL of course. How sickening that they, not we, they, are sending our sons and daughters to die for gasoline? Evidently not sickening at all. When facism really takes hold after the election(doesn't matter who is elected), I'll wear my brown shirt proudly. You better do the same. Halliburton is not building all those detention centers for immagrants alone you know.

Soon, hopefully

the American people will realize that their government is their enemy and will enslave them at the drop of a hat. It is time to storm the Bastille. Our fat and happly pols no longer represent us, they represent the corporate masters that pay these pols. We will not get our country back until the blood of these DC politicians runs like rivers through the streets of Washington.

When both partys collude to commit crimes against the people

it's time for some heads to roll. Literally. Maybe the French have some ideas on how we can accomplish that.

No need to worry

Our sons and daughters will be dying in Iraq for decades. That is what our congressional masters want and that is what they will get. While there is still credit from the Chinese to be had, both partys will be shoveling as much money as they can into the pockets of their corporate masters. We have no voice, we have no say. We are the ruled and they are the rulers. So fret not Mr. and Mrs. American Public, your children will continue to be horrifically killed and maimed until our masters wring every last cent they can out of this country. Meet the new boss........

Embarrased?

Not on your life! When McCain tells a lie it becomes the truth by virtue of his heroism. It's kind of like the rule of law, if the president does it, it cannot be against the law. When McCain says something it can never be false. Anyway, regardless of anything, the U.S. will NEVER leave Iraq. Not under Obama, not under McCain. It's just too big a cash cow for their corporate masters to give up.

No words

There are no words to describe the feeling of betrayal that I feel. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have not only committed war crimes, they have violated their oath of office and should be removed by force. Now is the time to rise up. If we wait any longer, it will be too late and Blackwater will be at our doors with battering rams and rendition flights to Egypt. It will take 2 million people in the streets of DC, overpowering the DC and Capitol police, gaining access to the WH and the chambers and offices of congress. It will take tar and it will take feathers but it must be done. Otherwise, we will be like sheep led to slaughter by our trusted 'leaders'. If this country is to be saved, it must be cleansed of the Democratic and Republican partys. It must be cleasned with our own blood. Just as it was 200 years ago.

The New American Way

Because Gawd loves this country and Republicans soooooo much, they are actually doing His work. We are exempt from all law because America is Gawd's country. Sickening. How do we wretch this country from the hands of genocidal policiticans who think nothing of murdering hundreds of thousands of innocent people? Answer: We can't. We are a barbaric nation run by barbaric people for barbaric citizens. We should be treated like Germany during WWII. We are the enemy of the planet and all those who inhabit Earth. At this point, I would welcome an invasion and occupation in order to free us from these 'patriots'. We obviously cannot be trusted with the military might we have amassed and should be banned from having a military. You don't give a loaded shotgun to a spoiled child at a picnic. At least I don't.
