That''s right, Mr. McCain! Announce to the enemy what they can do to hurt America! Jesus! Have you ever heard the expression, be careful what you ask for, you might get it?!

Or---is the GOP planning some ''joint action'' with al queda like Reagan/Bush planned with Iranians when they had them hold American hostages in exchange for missiles & arms---in order to win the 1980 election?

In any event, if that''s the plan, it''s not wise to be talking about it to the news media, the public will/has now found out about it!

John "the Great Pretender" McCain, says he fears that Al Qeada will increase its attacks in Iraq in an effort to influence the election and get a Democrat elected to the throne in the Oval Office.

McCain is, obviously, thinking of the 1968 Tet Offensive in South Vietnam during the Vietnam war, which McCain blames as the primary reason why Hubert Humphrey and the Democrats lost the election in 1968. Of course, it didn''t really make much difference, since "the Trickster" Nixon continued the Vietnam war for another 5 years and even expanded it into Cambodia!

Now McCain is worried that Al Qeada will start another "Tet Offensive" in Iraq (maybe Osama Bin Laden will convince some Vietnamese to join in!), and he might not get elected Great Emperor!

The question presents itself: If we had destroyed Osama Bin Laden when we had the chance 5 years ago, maybe McCain wouldn''t have to worry about a "terrrrrrorist Tet Offensive" in Iraq, simply because WE WOULDN"T BE THERE!

DUUUUUUUHHHH!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!
sig heil, McCain????

They''''ve just got to get it all out there... There are so many different factions and different views in the Party, always has been, that a Republican type primary is NOT possible.

Pretty much like a Saturday night dinner at home with the family, you never know what someone is going to say or do.

J-whitman and I said last year that we couldn''t wait for this year to begin, we said this was going to be more fun than the Super Bowl, and we were right.


Semper Fi Mc.

No I didn''''t, but after 2,3, or 4 tours of duty, I''''m sure they want this to end.

If the Dems don''''t get their act together, McCain could get elected.

How''''s your neice doing?

Let me see...Republican townhall meeting...questioner asks if Al Qaeda might attack to "aid Democratic nominee". Yea, RIGHT! This is a familiar setup right out of Karl Rove/George W''s playbook.
The real question is: Are you going to fall for it again?
