- America does not need another war president as would be Juan McCain. Even today McLame is completely against working out any type of deal with the Iraqis that would require US troops to return Iraq to a sovereign nation. Americas bone headed attack on Iraq is why we all now pay over $4 a gallon for gas.

- With news coming from Nouri al-Maliki that he is leaning towards a security pact with the U.S. that would include language describing the "departure of [American] forces or a memorandum of understanding to put a timetable on their withdrawal," one wonders how this would affect John McCain''s plan for perpetual troop presence in Iraq. Well, at the Council of Foreign Relations, the John McCain of 2004 gave us a pretty clear answer:
Question: "What would or should we do if, in the post-June 30th period, a so-called sovereign Iraqi government asks us to leave, even if we are unhappy about the security situation there?"
McCain''s Answer: "Well, if that scenario evolves than I think it''s obvious that we would have to leave because -- if it was an elected government of Iraq, and we''ve been asked to leave other places in the world. If it were an extremist government then I think we would have other challenges, but I don''t see how we could stay when our whole emphasis and policy has been based on turning the Iraqi government over to the Iraqi people." - Reply to this comment
- As of late 2007, I was told by my Bermudan tour-guide that 375 of our Fortune 500 companies had registered offices in Bermuda...so it looks like the Tax attorneys are many steps ahead of Obama on that one.

There you have it. So-called "American" companies are only pretending to be American in order to fool the suckers here. They incorporate in tax-haven countries in order to avoid paying U.S. taxes. They move jobs overseas but tell people to "buy American".
The only recourse is to renegotiate trade pacts, bring back tariffs and yes, protectionism. But of course McCain is still singing the "free-trade" mantra and will have none of it. - Reply to this comment
- A true patriot would have spent time over the past 900 days visiting our theaters of operation around the world making sure he fully understood which future actions would be in America''''s best interests. Obama chose instead to spend his overseas travel time in Africa returning to use the power of his US Senate position to promote an ideologically driven bill to halve global poverty by 2015 ....at a cost to the American taxpayer of at least $800 billion...and that includes taxpayers in states including Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Florida.

A TRUE patriot would advocate ending the war in Iraq, and concentrating our efforts on Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Has McSame EVER been to Afghanistan, or is he just another Bushie that thinks ALL of our time, resources, and troops should be devoted to Iraq, only Iraq, and stay in Iraq forever? - Reply to this comment

- Of course, Obama, has already thought about that and plans to impose a penalty tax on those that move operations overseas...good luck pulling that one off.

Want to bet?? American''s are Tired of having their jobs shipped over seas and they intend to vote in the Man who has said he WILL do something about it. NO American Worker should EVER have to compete with 30 Cents a Day in Wages as McSame want''s them too. IT''s TIME we stopped this and started thinking about AMERICAN Workers for a change. THAT is the ONLY way we''ll ever see the Standard of Living going UP in this nation. Obama 08 - Reply to this comment

- Nice try%u2026 but had he spent one minute in the business world, aside from with his literary and real estate agents, he''''d know that the Golden Goose gets jumpy when it thinks that Americans are showing signs of looking for an axe with which to chop off its head. On more than one occasion that has led the Golden Goose to relocate to more favorable business climes.

Are you SERIOUSLY making this statement, while supporting a candidate that has been employed by the federal government and supported by their care, his WHOLE LIFE?!?!
*** does he know about the business world? - Reply to this comment
- Well, there you have it!
al-Sadr says he wants a timetable for U.S. forces to withdraw!
al-Maliki says he wants a timetable for U.S. forces to withdraw!
Congress says it wants a timetable for U.S. forces to withdraw!
The majority of the American public says it wants a timetable for U.S. forces to withdraw!
So, to state the obvious, let''''s load up the wagons, and get the h3ll out-of-Dodge!

- Just say no deal in 2008; try again later
Words matter. But Obama%u2019s choice of actions over the last 900 days matters even more. This is why people who care about America first, simply cannot afford to take a risk at this time on this first term senator, even if this week he chose to once again wear an American flag on his lapel.
But in November 2008, I%u2019m afraid I%u2019m unwilling to take a risk on a man who has done nothing to dispel the widely held view that he has no experience, no judgment, and no integrity. - Reply to this comment

- He also tells us that despite never having served in his country%u2019s military, he knows better the professional leaders of the US Military, US Intelligence and the Executive branch how to best promote US interests in Iraq.

Are you insanely saying that YOU MUST be a member of the military, to know what is in Iraq''s best interests?!?
You''re kidding, right? - Reply to this comment

I''ll second that. Her delusional behaviour is getting really boring. She just keeps posting the same old disproved lies and smears over and over again. Really dull. - Reply to this comment
- This brings me back to Obama''s actions over the last 900 days. It%u2019s inexcusable that a man who''s based his campaign on bringing America''s troops out of Iraq within 16 months would not have spent one day out of the past 900 seeing for himself how the Iraqi situation has changed from its low point at the end of 2005. That%u2019s how long it%u2019s been since the junior senator set foot in Iraq.
Without checking with his own visit, to satisfy his foreign fans and his gang of anti-war deep pocket supporters in the US, he wants to abandon our current mission in favor of redeploying troops on a speculative invasion of Pakistan/ Afghanistan and/or building a bigger US federal bureaucracy. Bad idea...very bad idea...disrespectful to those who have sacrificed so much; unthinkable disloyalty to those elements of the Iraqi people that are relying on us to fulfill our commitments to them..%u2026certain to embolden the terrorists who attacked us on September 11 who will be energized by the sight of retreating American soldiers...guaranteed to be greeted with high fives all round in Tehran which will now be free to turn Iraq into the eastern border of its Islamic Republic. - Reply to this comment
- A Grand Canyon of Difference between words and actions
During his campaign he has won justified praise for gifted rhetoric. But there is a Grand Canyon of difference between his words and his record of achievement.

PERFECT!!!
Can you tell us why Senator John "Mr. Green" McCain touts himself as so "pro-environment", yet received a 0% rating from the Sierra Club - one of the TOP environmental groups in the nation?
