Also, John McCain had his affair with Cindy while an officer in the Navy. He could have been discharged for conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman.

"McCain decided to leave the Navy. He was unlikely to ever make full admiral, as he had poor annual physicals and had been given no major sea command. In early 1981, he was reportedly told that he would be promoted to rear admiral but declined the prospect,..."

It is clear that Osama Hussein Obama will stop at nothing to ensure that we lose the war in Iraq if he is elected president. His ties to Islam requires this of him!

Senator McCain takes a strongly militant position concerning Iraq. However with the UN Authorization to operate in Iraq and it''s LEGAL PROTECTIONS expiring in December, what will President Bush do to legally protect US forces and their operations in Iraq? There is no formal declaration of war only an authorization to use military force - the legal protections of the UN or a negotiated agreement are critical to the protection of US forces. Indications are that President Bush may well have to sign an agreement including the "Bush/Neocon/McCain dreaded timeline of failure" or willingly choose to place US forces at significant legal risk - an even weaker negotiating position if left to the next president. Should the agreement occur, as the lesser of two evils, the next president will largely be limited to agreement or changes found to be mutually agreeable by the Iraqis. Despite the desire to stall the Iraqi situation until it can be dumped on the next president there is a real possibility that Bush himself will be the author of the terms for withdrawal from Iraq and McCain or Obama / Obama or McCain, as you prefer, will be little more than caretakers to complete implementation of the negotiated agreement to withdraw on or before the end of the negotiated period of time.

Stop pretending that racism does not exist or that it is just a distraction- grow up- It exists, it always will- in fact- it will be more of a problem if a black man is elected. The Democrats are desperate people who act like they are looking for a prom dates when the event was over years ago. Obama is the next BUSH- Lie,lie lie- Haven''t you learned anything about people??!!

Sen. McCain experiance in the military was being a POW. He learded how to survive but can he lead? Obama has no military experiance but has shown an ability to lead others who will follow him. Iraq has now shown it has the ability to lead it self as a sovern nation so it is time for the U.S. to get out. McCain want to stay there, the only reason I can think of is to keep Mr Bush and cronies swimming in oil money. The U.S. does need to shift it focus to Mr. Bushes first war and defeat a common enemy, the Taliban who wants to spread their terrioism around the world. I do not think it takes a military genius to lead a country into war (Bush led us into two, but it does take savy to get us out of one. Which canidate has it is up to the people, my choise would be Obama.

"McCain Casts Obama As Focused More On Personal Ambition"

Of course he focuses on personal ambition. So does McCain. All politicians do. McCain turned down an admiral''s star for politics and has been trying for president for 20 years. Who is he kidding?

I notice McSame has spent most of the last two weeks doing NOTHING but ATTACKING OBAMA!

Sorry, friends! A man with ideas, a man with policies, a man who wants to lead, doesn''t spend most of his time ATTACKING the other guy like this!

The FACT that he is, shows how desperate he is NOT to disclose to the voters that he has no great, new ideas of policies and he''s just going to continue Bush''s!

Which, is NOT good enough.
