When asked in a church in front of God if he would love, honor and cherish his first wife, and if he''d forsake all others for as long as he lived, John McCain lied.

If one should have trust in anyone, it should be spouse. Ask John McCain''s first wife how that worked out.

If John McCain''s first wife couldn''t trust John when he made the the most important vow in his entire life, why should any of the rest of us trust him?

John McBush has gotten gov''t health care for pretty much his entire life from birth until now. But, he doesn''t want other Americans to have it.

McCain collects Social Security he clearly does not need, while accepting a senator''s income of 161k, sucking it out of the system meant for we ''regular'' people who will be in need of some income assistance after retirement to help with the rising cost of inflation and basic necessities. Essentially, he''s stealing from our government. Is that the kind of President we want??

"Instead of the boxers vs briefs question, someone should ask McCain if it''''s regular or extra-absorbent depends he''''s wearing."

We lost around 50 troops last month in the non-working surge that McCain supports. And this is 5 years after McCain said, "It%u2019s clear that the end is very much in sight." [ABC, 4/9/03]

The only thing McCain can attract is flies and buzzards. Doe''s he really think that the 18 to 29 year old voters are so stupid to vote for another 4 years of the Bush regime. Give me a break. I''ll guarantee that Ron Paul has a bigger following of young republicans than either McCain or Obama!

John McCain, the Iraq visionary---------

"Because I know that as successful as I believe we will be, and I believe that the success will be fairly easy, we will still lose some American young men or women." [CNN, 9/24/02]

"We%u2019re not going to get into house-to-house fighting in Baghdad. We may have to take out buildings, but we%u2019re not going to have a bloodletting of trading American bodies for Iraqi bodies." [CNN, 9/29/02]

"But the point is that, one, we will win this conflict. We will win it easily." [MSNBC, 1/22/03]

"But I believe, Katie, that the Iraqi people will greet us as liberators." [NBC, 3/20/03]

"It%u2019s clear that the end is very much in sight." [ABC, 4/9/03]

"There%u2019s not a history of clashes that are violent between Sunnis and Shiahs. So I think they can probably get along." [MSNBC, 4/23/03]

"This is a mission accomplished. They know how much influence Saddam Hussein had on the Iraqi people, how much more difficult it made to get their cooperation." [This Week, ABC, 12/14/03]

"I%u2019m confident we%u2019re on the right course." [ABC News, 3/7/04]

"I do think that progress is being made in a lot of Iraq. Overall, I think a year from now, we will have made a fair amount of progress if we stay the course. If I thought we weren%u2019t making progress, I%u2019d be despondent." [The Hill, 12/8/05]

McCain has disagreed with Bush on many things including Iraq. He promoted the idea of more boots on the ground two years before it actually happened and the surge became a success. i call that a visionary.

Sure it was a success---as long as the cease fire was in place!

Bill Clinton: Brought Tons of Baggage Before, During & After his 8 Yrs as President and (You) Voted him into Power. Bill Clinton`s, Saudi Arabia 10 Million Per yr. & his United Arab Emirates (Dubai Ports Deal) which he`ll give up, if Hillary is elected President...Hmmmm Qatar & Kuwait Millions..Too.


2. George W. Bush, Brought a Ton of Baggage Before, During & After his A$$ leaves the White House !!

The Bin Ladin`s & Bush`s Family are Still Family Friends...Still are.

George Bush the (Government) Flew the Bin Ladin`s out of America, during (911) when he could`ve Held, Detained, Prosecuted & Imprisoned them, or used them as hosatge, until Bin Ladin, Surrendered...But That did`nt happen, Did It ...Hmmm

A Lot of ''National Terrorism'' Happened under these Guys ..Watchful Eyes.

Oklahoma City: National Terroism

Columbine: National Terrorism

The D.C Snipers: National Terrorism


Virginia Tech Massacre: National Terrorism

Illinois University Killings: National Terrorism


The 911 Massacre: International Terorism

You have More to Fear from Within, than Without.

The Big Difference Those Presidents were...White...

That makes it...Alright .. Huh

It makes it.. WRONG !!!

McCain Hopes To Attract Young Voters? With what?

"War is the tool of small-minded scoundrels who worship the death of others on the altar of their greed."

"Anyone who has proclaimed violence his method inexorably must choose lying as his principle."

"How can you make a war on terror if war itself is terrorism?"

"What is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood."

"I''m fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in."

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration repeatedly ignored corruption at the highest levels within the Iraqi government and kept secret potentially embarrassing information so as not to undermine its relationship with Baghdad, according to two former State Department employees.

Arthur Brennan, who briefly served in Baghdad as head of the department''s Office of Accountability and Transparency last year, and James Mattil, who worked as the chief of staff, told Senate Democrats on Monday that their office was understaffed and its warnings and recommendations ignored.

Brennan also alleges the State Department prevented a congressional staffer visiting Baghdad from talking with staffers by insisting they were too busy. In reality, Brennan said, the staffers were watching movies at the embassy and on their computers. The staffers'' workload had been cut dramatically because of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki''s "evisceration" of Iraq''s top anti-corruption office, he said.

Senator McCain, what is your detailed policy plan to address Iran?

McCain: Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran.

And John McCain says he cares about high gas prices. Ha ha ha.

"There''s a real dignity about him in terms of his patriotism and war record." Somebody explain to me how consistently voting down veteran''s benefits, supporting a disastrous foreign policy blunder, and singing "Bomb Iran" makes this guy a patriot. Not to mention economic ignorance that''d pretty much finish us off and adherance to PNAC principles.
