Comments on: McCain Outspent Obama In June

Campaign Finance Report Show Changing Strategies As Campaign Heads Toward Fall

[it_oldtimer]

The very fact that a military "surge" was even needed in the first place simply underscores the fact that Bush obviously didn''t have a clue what he was doing to begin with! He totally underestimated the actual situation from day one onward.

That has not changed. He''s still clueless. So are the GOP and McCain.

It''s common knowledge even among GOP Pundits that the RNC is far behind the DNC in available funds to promote their agenda and campaign in troubled districts. It''s also common knowledge that the GOP will lose more seats in both Houses this go around, on the low side talk is 15 to 20 seats. On the other end is a Complete Massacre......If by some miracle Pappy could pull off a win, he''d have to deal with a Huge Majority in both Houses. His agenda would be dead before it took it''s first breath.
8 years of the Bush/Cheney Crime Cartel''s Assault on the Constitution, Rule of Law, and our National Economy, have left them with 14% of Americans singing their praises.......Good luck in November, Neocons....

John McCain says he is right about Iraq and Afghanistan and Obama is wrong. How does McCain know?
Neither war zone has been resolved! Sen. McCain keeps saying the surge is working, but he fails to say what would happen when all of the increased numbers of US troops are withdrawn. He says we must win in Iraq, but he does not define victory.

Make no mistake McCain is just an extension of Bush with a war mentality of fighting wars with nations, winning and signing a cease fire and treaty. Elect John McCain and get the ghosts of George W Bush, *** Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and cast of hundres of conservative republican that have a hard enough time thinking in the box much less out.

ANNNNND-the point of this non-story. Say, where''s the story on the ny times not printing mccain''s op ed piece because it didn''t contain what the times THOUGHT it should?/
So, leemings, tell us again how there isn''t any bias in the media.

"The press will not tell you anything about the fact that 15 out of 18 political benchmarks have been met successfully by the Iraqi Governement to date."

Posted by OneAmerican


1. The press will only whisper the fact that the standards which define these political benchmarks as being accomplished had to be lowered in order to make this claim.

2. If these political benchmarks have in fact been accomplished, then it only adds support Obama''s position on Iraq (A time line/General time horizon) what ever you want to call it.


3. The Repubs. need to decide if they are going complain that Obama either does or doesn''t have a plan, so far all I here from the GOP is complaining:

(Obama''s an Elitist, a Muslim, he attended a Christian Church that we don''t like, he''s got no plan, I don''t like his plan, he changed the plan that he doesn''t have, he''s only been to Iraq once, he''s going to Iraq, he''s in iraq, but we don''t like it because the media''s covering it.) and you call the Democrats "whiners."

HA!

Can I put my vote in today and get rid of all of this election hype.

The amount of money they spend is the entire annual budget of most non-profits. Only the Red Cross, Salvation Army and the Rainbow coalition may have larger budgets.

McCain: " I could wile away the hours, conferrin'' with the flowers, consultin'' with the rain. And my head I''d be scratchin'' While my thoughts were busy hatchin'' If I only had a . . . . . . ; ) "

Obama: "... Brain."

[dnsallday]

I find it curious that the news media only takes any interest in Iraq because Barack Obama is taking a short trip there - and it is only his second trip.
