John McBush''s message is clear to all American''s and it''s the EXACT SAME message as Cheney had for you! You don''t want your kids sent to War based on LIES? You don''t want your Kids fighting a War for no reason? SO?? It doesn''t matter to Cheney or McBush what WE the PEOPLE want. It doesn''t matter that We the People want a war stopped... NOPE! What matters is that no one in the "party" has to admit what they did!! Sieg Heil McBush

Yes, it would be a good idea to elect Obama. What is your next question.

[gslinger3]

Barak Hussein Obama has proven ties to Islam. To the rational folks reading this, Do you really think it will be a good idea to elect him just 7 years removed from 911? Think long and hard before you cast that ballot in November!!

NOBAMANATION 08!!!!! WWJWD "What would Jeremiah Wright Do?"

I don''t get it. McCain slams Obama over a timetable, yet the headlines read that Iraq is insisting on one. Doesn''t that make Obama right on this issue? At the very least, it should render McCain''s point moot.

Republicans are not any more lecturing than the Dummies people call Democrats who think they are above the law, committ adultry- apologize, want to be forgiven, and the people do just that. If it were a Republican the incident would never be forgotten. Stop being a hypocrit..Change isn''t change if it makes you look like a fool. McCain is not any more like Bush than Obama is like Kennedy.

RUSSERT: The fact is you are different than George Bush.

SEN. McCAIN: No. No. I%u2013the fact is that I%u2019m different but the fact is that I have agreed with President Bush far more than I have disagreed. And on the transcendent issues, the most important issues of our day, I%u2019ve been totally in agreement and support of President Bush.

John McCain quotes pre-Iraq War and during Iraq War:

"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]

%u201C[Obama showed] a remarkable failure to understand the facts on the ground%u2019 by continuing to call for a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq on a fixed timetable.%u201D

"So the fact is that we have succeeded. We are winning. They%u2019ll come home with honor. And it won%u2019t be just at a set timetable." [CBS interview, 7/22/08]
