“…In an interview with reporters on the back of his campaign bus, the “Straight Talk Express” Monday afternoon, McCain said that even in retrospect he would still have voted to authorize the war, as he did in 2002.

“I think there’s no question,”

Whoa now, the Saint responded to my earlier question yesterday afternoon and I missed it…!

“I think the voting records for the past few years speak for themselves, Senator McCain objects to anything that costs money for disabled veterans, why?”

Welcome home troopers!

“…McCain had a competing bill in congress and his benefits created an incentive to stay in the service, that is rather then just providing wholesale bennies…” right2bright on July 1, 2008 at 5:35 PM

Just providing wholesale bennies…sure wouldn’t want our brave men and women gettin’ any of those!

Despite St Mc’s best efforts to the contrary; Senator Webb’s bill passed 77-22, no thanks to the Saint.

Remember that troopers!

Consider also the fact; that he couldn’t find it in his cold calculating political heart to even back Senator Webb’s “New GI Bill”.

I didn’t quote the first sentence because it was so foolish.
*
You didn’t know that McCain had a competing bill in congress and his benefits created an incentive to stay in the service, that is rather then just providing wholesale bennies, the longer you served the more bennies you received…it’s called incentives, something Democrats don’t understand, you only think of hand-outs.
You didn’t know that? or you knew it but didn’t want to be honest about it.

McCain, along with Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Richard Burr of North Carolina, has introduced an alternative bill that would increase education benefits on a sliding scale based on an individual’s years of service. McCain argues his bill would have a smaller impact on retention rates than the legislation that the Senate passed.

Oh look, either caught in a lie, or you are just uninformed…what a non-surprise.

Consider also the fact; that he couldn’t find it in his cold calculating political heart to even back Senator Webb’s “New GI Bill”.

Graham came up from nothing, adopted his little sister to keep her out of the foster care system. He is a decent man.

So is McCain.

I am not so sure about Clark. And I am definitely having my doubts about Obama. I just do not know what the upside is for them to go after McCain on this. It only makes them look bad.

He is truly an ass bag, kiss ass, bottom feeder.

C’mon, don’t sugarcoat it :)

Because the more you rant with your BS, the more you embarrasse the hate America democrats, and the messiah.

Look at alphie. There’s your poster child.

. . . The suggestion by Gen. Clark that he was a mere “rider” is most certainly a smear and we have every right to take him to task for it.

No military man who was speaking of a pilot with respect would use the term ‘rider’. Clearly the execrable Clark was attempting to not only smear but denigrate John McCain’s service. Yet he speaks the language of the anti-American Left and the so-called Democratic Party.

It is hard to believe that more than a handful of American voters would vote for a Democrat like Obambi, who would put up with, and even encourage, such calumny, while issuing only a smirking denial.

Hard to believe. What has happened to this country?

What is to discuss. night?

Night. Day. Weather. Politics. Plenty of topics…

To disagree with Clark, you have to believe anyone who’s a pilot is qualified to be President. Even the guys flying in drugs from Mexico and Canada.

Do you believe that?

Straw Man. No one ever claimed that anyone who has ever been a pilot is qualified to be president.

Nonetheless, to disagree with Clark is to disagree with Clark. It’s pretty easy, actually.

Or is this just another phony outrage manufacture by right?

I think we know the answer…

alphie on July 1, 2008 at 12:50 PM

Phony? Outrage? LOL! How about pointing out f-a-c-t-s? They’re a b!tch…

Most of your posts are completely incoherent…are you sure you are writing what you mean?…
right2bright on July 1, 2008 at 12:59 PM

I think it’s Gabby Johnson style “authentic frontier gibberish”.

alphie do you even have a clue?
Not only has McCain served, both of his SONS are currently serving.
BOTH OF THEM VOLUNTEERED.

You are an ass.

ArmyAunt on July 1, 2008 at 1:13 PM

Hence my post about him be incoherent…

At 4:00 in to it, he really lets us in to his soul with the key words “what about your reputation, How do you handle it publicly?”

That shows you that he is a real “cover your ass kind of guy”. Wessy boy is. A real leader never has a concern about his reputation, you do what is right because it is just that right, reputation be damned!

He is truly an ass bag, kiss ass, bottom feeder.

Orson Swindle (Born March 8, 1937), a decorated Vietnam War POW, was sworn in as Commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission of the United States on December 18, 1997. He had previously served as Assistant Secretary of Commerce during the Reagan Administration.

BigD, it would be better if you did some research before insulting someone like Orson Swindle.

juliesa on July 1, 2008 at 1:04 PM

Lord, people, I didn’t insult him. I only commented that the words themselves sounded like satire.

And for what it’s worth, the quote I referred to was Swindle defending McCain politically; he was not talking security or military policy.
