Straight Talk Express
Looks like the straight talk express is headed right past the sign that says, "Bridge is Out."

Did Gen. Petraeus also tell him to buy rugs?
OK, I'll accept that a general on the hround is not going to want to lose a congresscreature on his watch, and that Gen. Petraeus laid on the security. But did Gen. Petraeus tell McCain to shoot off his mouth about how safe Baghdad supposedly is before he left the states?
Wait a minute, I think I know: McCain will say he was talking about Bagdad, Florida (near the town of Milton) being safe to walk around in!

Being wrong
George Bush would rather kill thousands of American soldiers than be wrong. John McCain would rather get himself killed than be wrong.
I'm not sure which is worse, but I'm sick of both. Are there any Republicans out there mature enough to admit that sometime, in some way, they were incorrect about something?

Well, THIS will easily sway DOZENS of voters!
From USA Today:
"Former United States secretaries of State Henry Kissinger, Gen. Alexander Haig, Lawrence Eagleburger and George Shultz have endorsed Senator John McCain for president," the McCain campaign just announced in an e-mail to reporters.
"These are Americans who selflessly led our country into a modern era of security and stability, and I am proud to have their support," McCain says in the news release. "We share optimism in America and dedication to winning the war on terror."
The statement includes these words of support from the retired diplomats:
• Kissinger: "The world's challenges are radically changing and our country needs John McCain's experience and optimism."
• Haig: "John McCain is a leader with a vision for a more prosperous, secure America."
• Shultz: "He understands the enormous threat terrorism poses to our way of life and is prepared to fight and win this war from the first day he steps foot in office."
• Eagleburger: "As our country adjusts to new challenges, John McCain's experience and record as a common sense conservative make him the best candidate for our country's future."

"Former United States secretaries of State Henry Kissinger, Gen. Alexander Haig, Lawrence Eagleburger and George Shultz"
For some odd reason I'm picturing the painting of the dogs playing poker.

All of those ancient guys
are closet neocons or at very least ultraconservatives. What this country definitely does not need is another moron who will give us "more of the same". Package it anyway you want, if the american electorate votes to continue with the ideation of the present and past Bush crowd we are in for a continuation of the downward spiral we are presently experiencing. God help us...

Disingenuous
That's what a polite person would call Sen. McCain's remarks.
I call it B.S.

RECOLLECTION
In late 1970 I needed to get a Passport so I got a pass from my CO and caught the bus from Bien Hoa to Saigon. I got off the Bus and walked the mile or so to the Consulate I lodged my passport application and was told to come back next week to pick it up. On my way back to Tan Son Nuit I stopped off at a market I recall I bought a brass/gold? wrist band and an Isaac Hayes cassette tape. I still have the tape but traded the band for some reefer(as you do). I caught the bus back to Bien Hoa before dark. I had the consulate mail me the passport you could get jewellery and tapes cheaper at the PX.
Everytime I read about McCain's walk in the Market I think of my Saigon trip. The only thing we had in common was that I wore a baseball cap too. You couldn't wear your jungle hat in Saigon because the top brass wanted to give the impression that the war was over in Saigon.

The Alzheimer's Express
McCain ignored the huge demonstration against the U.S. occupier as well as the aggressive stance of Al-Sadr.
Either he is bordering on senile dementia, or he firmly believes that the aversge American's IQ is below 100. None of the above qualifies him for the presidency.
