Why when you and UberDouche could write it. It would be in Fiction; but whatever…

H.R. McMaster is a West Point graduate who earned a Silver Star for battlefield prowess during the 1991 Gulf War after his armored cavalry troop stumbled across an Iraqi mechanized brigade in the middle of a sandstorm and destroyed it.

These people are working to undermine McCain without any kickback to Obama. They will succeed unless there is some comparisons made.

I can’t find anyplace where McCain has claimed that his POW experiences translated into foreign policy expertise.

The book “Dereliction of Duty: Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the lies that led to Vietnam” was written by recently promoted to General, H.R. McMaster.

Why don’t you go off somewhere and write Dereliction of Duty, George Bush, Dick Cheney, and the Lies that Led to the Iraq War.

You’re prolly too young to remember when real conservatives were for term limits, Branch. Wrong! McCain’s 25 years in Congress has got to be a tad too long even for you Rapture Republicans, eh?

What exactly is it about Democrats that when one of their idiots (Clark) makes a stupid statement that winds up digging a great big hole for the candidate he is supposed to be representing (B.O.), another Democrat (Beers) comes along with the intention of filling in the hole and instead winds up making an even stupidier statement and ends up digging an even bigger hole in the process?

That being said, why are these clowns in power in Congress right now?

I can tell by your ignorant comment about McCain’s military service that you’re one of those sanctimonious Obama supporters who has never deigned to wear the uniform of this country.

Liberals are little weasels.

One thing is clear: McCain understands something about evil regimes. People who are swayed by John Kerry and his lackeys do not.

Oh wonderful, a Kerry adviser. There’s not a Kerry advisor alive that could carry water for McCain. Kerry and that slimy gaggle of humanity that surrounds him are nothing but political maggots that can stick it in their ears . . . or the orifice of their choice.

Isolated?

Flying bombing missions over a city ringed by SAMs and getting to live with and resist the enemy everyday could give one a unique perspective, I would think.

After McCain returned to the states, he spent a year at the national War College studying the Vietnam War and writing a thesis.

Also, his father was CINCPAC, and in that role was the one who had to actually dispatch the planes that bombed Hanoi while his son was there.

They have to attack McCain with these sleaze tactics, they don’t have anything of substance to counter McCain on.

They are going to nominate the most inexperienced Presidential candidate since George Washington (being the first, there was no Presidential experience available). So they can’t lean on Obama’s record, he doesn’t have one. It’s just that simple.

Less time in the Senate than McCain, Sekh? Real conservatives are for term limits…point for Obama. alphie on June 30, 2008 at 7:16 PM

Point for Obama? You, Alpha Victim, are just brilliant. /s off How is this: my dog has never been in the senate. Therefore, he is conservative because he doesn't have a government job? Victim Logic = Troll Alert

Just another example of Obama successfully attempting to negate an argument against him. He mastered the technique in the primary — remove all of your opponent’s tools all the while using the very same tools to attack (see this series of posts).

It really is masterful and McCain has got to start doing the same otherwise he will be on defense till November, just like the Bush administration has been for 4 years.

Clock’s running out…will the right ever find a real issue to use against Obama?

alphie on June 30, 2008 at 5:55 PM

Thanks for your concern, but the Obamassiah and his associates have provided plenty already. Voters will see him for the elitist, power-mad, cowardly, opportunist, woefully inexperienced politician that he is soon enough.

McCain is exactly the kind of guy conservatives wanted out of government:

A guy who has spent his whole life living on the government’s(or his wife’s) dime.

I’ll overlook your obvious regional smears as a moment of…rage.
