Comments on: McCain, Romney Spar Over Iraq

GOP Candidates Trade Barbs After McCain Accuses Romney Of Wanting To Set Timetable To Withdraw U.S. Troops

If you support Romney, do the call at home program in Florida Sunday and Monday

[walt1944-2009]

I respect McCain as a Vietnam Vet and a POW who underwent torture and knows what it is like, unlike the Great Emperor Bush II who never left the country and the only torture he was familiar with was what he did to amphibians, and Darth Vader Cheney who was a draft dodger.

But I don''t respect what McCain is saying and his Bush-like stand on many issues including Iraq. There is a time to fight and a time to run and regroup and if you are too stupid to recognize when to do either, then we will get 4 more years of BUSH STAY THE COURSE!!!!!

If you want more of Bush, vote for McCain!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!

[perception5]

Brand new Rasmussen poll clearly shows why McCain has ramped up his "straight lying-talk express". Mitt is pulling away with 33%, Lone Ranger McCain has dropped to 27% and Rudy comes in at 18%.

It was really shameful how McCain lied his way through Tim Russert''s interveiw on Meet The Enemy just now. It''s really sad to see this war hero sink to lying about Mitt, his fellow Senators that have come out and supported Mitt, and his incrediable flip flops on cutting taxes.

Mitt will win Florida despite the prop ups by the liberal press and now from the political side from Crist. What Americans and Republicans need to ask themselves is this. Are we going to pick our GOP nominee or is the liberal press and old political politicians? McCain is losing alot of respect around the coutry right now with his attacks, lies, and smears. Really sad indeed .......GO MITT !

THESE IDIOTS ARE FIGHTING OVER WHO WILL GIVE THE ISRAELI NEOCONS THE BEST DEAL TO KEEP AMERICA IN THE MIDDLE EAST THE LONGEST...

John McCain is a war hero but he also seems to be a warmonger as well. I''ve listened to Sen. McCain over and over again use war as a tool of his strength how the surge has worked instead of trying to find a way for us to get out of this war. He''s a no surrender no retreat type of person and we don''t that in the oval office at a time where we''re hated thruout the world with Lieberman supporting him because he believes McCain will bomb Iran to appease Isreal just doesn''t look good for america if John McCain is the President

[iceman_1960]

I will never forgive John McCain for his crude public joke about Chelsea Clinton, a joke I won"t repeat here.

You can"t apologize for something like that.

Attacking a child (she was a child at the time) -- there is no forgiveness for that, ever.

[hazelknows]

McCain is truely insane, his mentality is that of an angery old man, I fought in a war that should of ever happen, I was a POW. It was good enough for me it''s should be good enough for the people today. And his early remark about Iran, "bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran", theres an war in the wings........

For once Newt Gingrich was right:

"Fri Sep 14, 2007

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidates need to make a "clean break" from President George W. Bush and the U.S. government or they will lose in November 2008, a veteran Republican leader said on Friday.

"If you don"t represent real change, you just gave away the 2008 election," said former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who led the Republican takeover of the House of Representatives in 1994 and now is flirting with a White House run.

Gingrich cited the Iraq war, the failed federal response to Hurricane Katrina two years ago and the inability to control U.S. borders and illegal immigration as evidence of a need for a complete overhaul of the U.S. system of governing."

That"s a novel way to make up after a fight: swap girlfriends for the weekend.

They"re both named Barbara, coincidentally.

[nearl4511]

If either of these fellows is elected President, we will be in Iraq for 500 years or until the USA Govt. no longer exists, whichever comes first.

There is no candid discussion of self defense and control of the Iraqi territory. That we will be there essentially forever is a foregone conclusion for these two.

[iceman_1960]

Senator John McCain is a man of destiny.

He is the one the gods of history selected, before the foundation of the world, to stand up in November 2008 and say,

"I just got off the phone with Senator Barack Obama. I congratulated him on his victory in the presidential election. ["No, no..." his supporters moan...] No, no, none of that now, we must support President-elect Obama. America must unite behind its first Hawaiian president... And let me thank all my supporters for their dedicated support. We fought the good fight, although we lost. God bless you, and God bless America. Thank you..."

[iceman_1960]

Notice John McCain"s complete faith and confidence in the Iraqi government, the one we"ve been sending hundreds of billions of dollars, for years, to get ready.

Obviously he thinks that was money well spent:

"[If we withdraw our troops] then there will be chaos, genocide, and the cost of American blood and treasure would be dramatically higher." - John McCain


No wonder the voters overwhelmingly prefer Democrats on economic issues.

[iceman_1960]

Better stick to trashing Evolution, boys. Or else get to work on those concession speeches.

It"s not clear from the article, whether the players were of the Mormon faith, but...

"Brigham Young coaches look to recruit black athletes.

The Albuquerque Tribune, 27-JAN-98

Byline: Edgar Thompson TRIBUNE REPORTER

To carry Brigham Young University men"s basketball into the 21st century, coach Steve Cleveland and his staff first wanted to bring the program into the 1990s.

Part of that transition has included the signing of more black athletes to scholarships at the Mormon Church school in Provo, Utah.

During the past eight seasons at BYU, just five scholarship players -- and only one full-time starter, Nick Sanderson -- were black.

Meanwhile, 61 percent of Division I men''s basketball players and 80 percent of NBA players are black.

So, while the topic of race can be a sensitive one, Cleveland made it clear a change was in order when he was hired last spring."

The Brigham Young basketball team has had some.

No joke.

[iceman_1960]

"John McCain accused Mitt Romney of wanting to set a timetable to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq, drawing immediate protest from his Republican presidential rival who said: "That''s simply wrong and it''s dishonest, and he should apologize."

Wonderful.

The GOP candidates are fighting about who will keep 150,000 troops in Iraq the longest.

McCain: "I"ll keep them there 1000 years."

Romney: "Oh yeah ? Well I"ll keep them there a bazillion years, and I"ll double the size of the force."

Keep it up, losers. Keep it up.

Facts are stubborn things.

[micma-2009]

Hmmm...which one of these boot lickers is more in line with Bush''s failed policies?

[glossypan]

The 2006 election and polls indicate that the American people have had enough of the failed policies of the Bush / Cheney / Halliburton administration. Still the Republican Presidential candidates argue over who can best continue the Bush agenda and the Republicans in Congress thwart any effort to change course.

[joyous88]

next these two conserative republicans will be sparing

over who can invade Iran and start the next war

the quickest.
