 McCain is not going to change.  As long as he is the candidate of the Republican party we are stuck.  You keep blasting him, can&#039;t say as I blame you, but what are our alternatives?  Do you have an alternative?  Mc is not really listening to us, he has his own agenda and I don&#039;t beleive he will change.

Being a couple of years shy of McCain, I&#039;m honestly interested in what you feel would change this election to our favor {conservatism} and put this country back together.</description>

		<description>In the late 1990&#039;s, Wayne LaPierre, Executive VP of the NRA, said the Clinton Administration was willing to accept a certain amount of gun violence in order to further their anti-gun agenda.  His point was about the Administration&#039;s seeming refusal to pursue cases against felons stopped from purchasing firearms by the various checks and such they had put into place.  Since it is illegal for them to even attempt to purchase a firearm, that act would open the way for putting them back in the slammer.  But the Clinton Administration ignored them for the most part, thus leaving the obviously criminal-minded people to remain on the streets, commiting crimes and killing people.  By doing this, they could claim a need for MORE gun control laws.  This, not actually reducing crime, was their real agenda.

Hussein is doing something similar.  By falsely portraying the Iraq situation, he hopes to get support for his campaign.  Nevermind he is trying to grasp defeat from the jaws of victory.  His victory is worth it.  

The point of this from a political standpoint is that McCain has actually said this.  It opens the way for &quot;us&quot; to build on this absolute truth.  

The only problem with McCain&#039;s statement is that it does not go far enough.  The Left wants America to lose, not simply to help their foreign allies and not simply because they hate our country. Even aside from Hussein&#039;s personal and ideological hatred for America, a military defeat serves psychologically to further the socialist agenda. A military defeat weakens the morale of the people who will stand for the country, reducing their will to oppose even a socialist domestic agenda.

Yes, it is indeed related.</description>

Too little, too late...

		<description>I can just &quot;see&quot; it all now.

It has come to my &lt;strike&gt; joyful&lt;/strike&gt; attention that while I was in the middle east &lt;strike&gt; trying to look Presidential&lt;/strike&gt; , one of the most important and sensitive parts of the world, Senator John McCain publicly attacked my loyalty to the United States of America!  As &lt;strike&gt; the Messiah&lt;/strike&gt; a candidate for the highest office in our land, as a U.S. Senator and as an American citizen, I am absolutely outraged and call on him to immediately &lt;strike&gt; throw himself under a bus &lt;/strike&gt; repudiate his slanderous remarks.  This kind of &lt;strike&gt; big boost to my campaign&lt;/strike&gt; disgusting smear has no place in America and is especially &lt;strike&gt; helpful&lt;/strike&gt; disgusting from someone who had pledged to run a decent and issues oriented campaign.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;McCain is getting hysterical. The American people do not like that in a President.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yeah, Americans hate hysterics.  And hyperbole.

Someone alert the WWE and Hollywood!  Apparently their &lt;em&gt;multi-billion dollar empires&lt;/em&gt; are based on teh lies because MB4 said so!

Bet they didn&#039;t like that dummy Patton either.</description>

		<description>Nonfactor:

How will staying long enough to make sure the gains are not lost hurt? Why so bound and determined to cut and run? Anyway, Obama promises to be &lt;em&gt;flexible &lt;/em&gt;so who knows what 16 months really means?</description>

Ok. Point taken you&#039;re right, I live in south FL and see this here every day. I follow your reasoning now.</description>

Obama has just told the terrorists that if he is elected, they win in 16 months. Are Americans awake?

Honestly, I now believe there&#039;s very little daylight in between Obama and McCain on Iraq anymore.  The only difference is that Obama keeps repeating the number 16.  

Obama&#039;s got no more spine on Iraq than any other issue he&#039;s sold the left out.  He&#039;ll defer to the generals or the polls in the end.</description>

Old people vote en masse.  Most old dems think they are still voting for FDR, this year they can see the difference.  The seniors come from a different time and race relations is much different with them.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;At the rate McCain is going that would be maybe November, 2012.

Good chance.  But the fact that Obama isn&#039;t up by 20 right now should worry him.</description>

OK. So if blacks vote according to race and its ok then I don&#039;t see an issue with Whites doing it either right? I mean there are a large number of whites voting for Obama based on race alone according to the exit polls from the primaries (you know the condescending &quot;articulate&quot; Biden types)

I guess obama better hope they can find many more racists on their side to offset those racist McCain supporters.</description>

Hey alphie...

My good friend happens to be a dem operative in philly. He states one of the dems big weaknesses this year is McCain&#039;s age and the left&#039;s open mocking of it (and yours). He claims the dems are walking a fine line with this sort of attack because the senior citizen dems don&#039;t like it, hence, the threat of alienating them. He claims many are already disgusted by this tactic and are leaning towards McCain. Yet, the left, in all it&#039;s infinite wisdom, is counting on the youth vote (that never shows up in the numbers dem project).

So, encourage your pals on the left to continue your age discrimination with a bigger and louder megaphone and watch what happens.

And for the record, my lefty friend in Philly is voting for McCain and actively campaigning for him.</description>
