McCain is a true patriot and a brave man.

It takes some bravery and patriotism to get in bed with Ted Kennedy, Lindsay “wuss boy” Graham, NCLR, MALDEF, LULAC, ACORN, the SPLC, the mexican govermment, big labor unions, etc. and grant amnesty to 20 million criminals who kill American citizens every day of the week and take our jobs. That’s real patriotic and brave, comrade.

Obama and Hillary are, in the true sense of the word, reactionaries. Pretending otherwise, out of intimidation or politeness, does no one any good, except Obama and Hillary. I wish Newt, and the few others like him who are on the brave side about speaking truth to Democrats, would adopt terms more in line with reality. “Conservative” is progressive; “progressive” is reactionary. Everyone knows it, but no one will say it.

ABC News finally crammed this verbal feces down his gullet, thereby warranting an “historic,” ass-saving speech to preserve his candidacy.

Do I detect a little attitude here?

;-)

OBL has been reduced to making vague threats from a cave ’somewhere’. He once masterminded attrocious attacks against civilian populations. Today, he can’t stick his nose outside of his cave, and spends his days railing against cartoons. Cartoons…..how the mighty have fallen.

There is more than one way to skin a cat.

“The surge has done more than turn the situation in Iraq around — it has opened the door to a major strategic victory in the broader war on terror. For the terrorists, Iraq was supposed to be the place where al Qaeda rallied Arab masses to drive America out. Instead, Iraq has become the place where Arabs joined with Americans to drive al Qaeda out. In Iraq, we are witnessing the first large-scale Arab uprising against Osama bin Laden, his grim ideology, and his murderous network. And the significance of this development cannot be overstated. The terrorist movement feeds on a sense of inevitability, and claims to rise on the tide of history. The accomplishments of the surge in Iraq are exposing this myth and discrediting the extremists. When Iraqi and American forces finish the job, the effects will reverberate far beyond Iraq’s borders. Osama bin Laden once said: “When people see a strong horse and a weak horse, by nature they will like the strong horse.” By defeating al Qaeda in Iraq, we will show the world that al Qaeda is the weak horse.”

Gee, I wonder which American political party represents the “weak horse”…

“If Hamas/Hizbullah succeeds here, they are going to succeed everywhere, not only in the Middle East, but everywhere. Israel isn’t the only enemy,” Arizona Sen. McCain said, in the only interview he is giving to the Israeli media during his visit here.

“They are dedicated to the extinction of everything that the US, Israel and the West believe and stand for. So America does have an interest in what happens here, far above and beyond our alliance with the State of Israel.”

“I think Iran is a threat to the region,” McCain said, adding that not only were the Iranians “obviously pursuing nuclear weapons,” they were also arming and training extremists to send into Iraq, supporting Hizbullah and influencing Syria.

“At the end of the day, we can still not afford to have Iran with nuclear weapons,” he said. “We know they have ambitions that are not just aimed at the State of Israel.”

These ambitions included “destabilization of the entire region upon which the United States’ national security interests rest,” he said.

You nailed it Liberty or Death; your entire post nails it.

Obama is not a uniter by any sense of the imagination. Obama is a divider; his wife, his pastor, many other key figures in his life are racist to the core. The “hatred of white people” will prove to be the campaign killer. Obama is on the defense for good reason, hatred is hatred no matter what make-up you put on it. Hatred of your own country is not what the American people wish to have as a leader.

can’t tell the difference from Shiite and shine-olla

That would be McCain.

AP summed it up, Obama didn’t see anything wrong with the words until he was made to answer for them..

Sorry for not giving credit to the above comment as I couldn’t find the person’s original post. Below is freevillage’s response to the above comment:

I think this is an assumption on AP’s part. In my judgment, clearly a false one. He didn’t think it was wise to bring them up to light until absolutely necessary.

Freevillage I must honestly say that is probably one of the most absurd responses I’ve ever seen on HA, including from the other trolls here. Your comment basically proves Obama is dishonest, why else would he think it unwise to “bring them up to light until absolutely necessary” as you state?

Seriously, think about what you’re saying. If what Rev Wright was saying wasn’t wrong, hateful, and racist then why on earth would Obama have to be concerned with not bringing them “up to light until absolutely necessary” unless what the Rev Wright was spewing was in fact hateful, racist, and wrong? Also, if Obama doesn’t believe what the pastor was saying was wrong then why go to the trouble of making a big speech about it? The only conclusion I can come with is Obama is a fraud, a liar, and he is not about unity especially when it comes to race issues or Obama wouldn’t have attended Rev Wright’s sermons for more than 20 years!

If I were a public figure running for POTUS and I went to a racist church where the pastor spews such things I wouldn’t want it to come “up to light” either, which is what Obama had hoped wouldn’t happen, but it did and he (Obama) has been exposed for what he really is; a race baiting, lying, America hating bigot that won’t have ALL AMERICAN’s best interest in mind, but instead will only have his own racist and tainted philosophy and agenda’s best interest in mind, and that agenda and philosophy is right in line with Rev Wright’s “how terrible and oppressive America and “whitey” are…and G-D America!”

If you (freevillage) can’t see through Obama’s BS then you are either a fool, young and naive, can’t tell the difference from Shiite and shine-olla, or all of the above, I’m guessing all of the above!

Well, clearly this isn’t true, because our own fearmonger in chief admitted that Osama ceased to be the target of our retribution. Instead, he decided to give jihadists a place and excuse to continue killing Americans.

So in other words, you’re one of those who believe that OBL is the “head of the snake”, and once the head has been removed, the body will simply die… Reality check here; this monster is not a snake, this monster is pure evil and resides in the souls of millions upon millions. This monster will not die from war casualties alone, this monster can only be beaten permanently by way of human freedom; this enemy know this which is why they have sent their foot soldiers to Iraq and Afghanistan. This enemy fears human freedom more than they fear the US Military.

That’s quite some conservative form of defending America.

You obviously don’t know much about Conservatism…

And tell me, since when has there been a Conservative Party with which to register?
Drum on March 19, 2008 at 12:11 PM

Write in registration is legal in my state. Much more to come of this story… I have officially left the GOP also.

You smeared Ron Paul because he told the truth

DUDE !!!!!!!!

“I hate the gooks,” McCain said yesterday in response to a question from reporters aboard his campaign bus. “I will hate them as long as I live.”

Anyone surprised or offended by this statement is an absolute moron.

This is a staggeringly vile remark. Though not surprising.

Drum on March 19, 2008 at 12:31 PM

Perhaps if you came down from your ivory tower or out of your mother’s cat-infested basement and spoke to some of our brave soldiers, you’d come to realize they agree with my remark, the one you consider so “vile”.

Oh my gosh! I used the ‘gook’ word!

Oh my gosh!
