HMS Bu$hCo is circling without a rudder.
With DlCK out of the bunker,
John touring the Oilfields,
and KARL out of Wa$hingtoon,
Dubya is sobbing and re-reading a page of My Pet Goat.
Rumsfeld, where are ye?
AmeriCONs are very afraid...

Seen a war hero somewhere ? You must be talking about Kerry, right ? Unless you consider the USS Forrestal bombing a great achievement ? Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran ...

"How embarrassing for America that this cancer-ridden freak would go pandering to the recipients of $625 Million per day of American taxpayer''''s money. pathetic. Posted by kissamaarse

Like anyone with a pen name like diccklips here would be embarrassed about ANYTHING...

Glad to see the far left is still holding their own on bashing true heros. Prepare yourselves, far left, for another 8 years of Republican control.

I just read that carpet market McCain was bragging about on his last trip he can''t even visit this time around because they''ve lost control of it to Al Sadr.

I guess they''ll just have to clear out and surround with 360degree firepower another ''safe'' market to show that we''re ''winning'' hearts and minds!

If only the dems would let us drill for our own oil we wouldnt be having this argument. People from the left are funny to me. Their hero gore loved Americans going out buying SUVs while he was in office. They dont want us drilling for it and dont want us going to get it neither. They set around blaming Bush for High gas costs as they drive around in their v8s

"McCain, the senior Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, was accompanied by Sens. Joe Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut, and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., two top supporters of his presidential ambitions."

Now there''s a group...

Winkin'', Blinkin'' and Nod...hear no evil, see no evil, and speak no evil...of things hegemonic and plutocratic.

If the surge is working, and the neo con plan is all coming together so smoothly, then why does the trip have to be unannounced?

Why didn''t he brag last week, "Iraq is so safe because of the surge, that I''m personally going there, and here is my itinerary while there."

McCain does not have the judgment and patience to lead America. He is an ill-informed, myopic, close-minded man who is easily swayed by the bigoted religious right. Check out the result of his BRILLIANT support of the "Surge", not to mention the fatally wrong idea to go to war with Iraq in the first place, and not actually go after the 9/11 terrorists. Check the facts at the below link and comment:

People, who are bigots, practice bigotry. But when it stands in the way of them getting something they want they deny ever having it. Like Obama!

The time is right now. Place; were on the floor above where the plane hit at the World Trade Tower. We are scared! There is fire everywhere! We are about to jump! We look with our binoculars to the church Obama attends. We see people looking at us laughing as we are about to jump to our deaths! And we cry are they the ones? Then we jump. As we are falling clutching the air we again hear the laughter coming from Obama%u2019s church! We hit the pavement and we are no more. A few feet away from the impact of our bodies there stands a man who is smiling. He smiles because he attends the same church Barack Obama attends. Do you still hear the laughing? As the months go by they find our body limbs and still that church Obama attends is laughing. Seven years later Barack Obama is running for president and all the years of laughing comes out in a victory chant by the church Obama is sitting right now in the front pew of this magnificent church? Look closely now do you see him, was he tardy today? Do you still hear the laughter? The pastor for at least the last seven years shouts from his pulpit %u201CWhite America" had the 9/11 attacks coming.%u201D Do you still hear the laughter? Obama wants to change you, will you let him? Are you laughing now?
