Grampa McSame is still too busy fighting the Viet Nam war to remember which war is the first war since 9/11.
WHY do we, every four years, have to re-fight WW II and Viet Nam? Don't we as a nation do anything other than pride ourselves on our ability to wage war?

McCain's got to get off Cindy's meds. He can hardly keep it together. He just seems to be making this stuff up as it goes along. He's got a memory like a bong dumbed bohemian.
It,s really past time we elected, to the most powerful post in the world, the mentally deficient.

"This pattern of basic errors by McCain is becoming...""
has always been
since the keating five and the divorce and the 63 + counting major position augmentations and the coterie of pnac signatories on staff, he's been wrong since before a republican president and the then chief of staff cheney and defense secretary rumsfeld allowed the nuclear technology transfer to iran in the 70's

I kinow some "smart people" - good jobs - good grades in school- no criminal history,- that have children - and are voting for McCain - absolutely mind boggling.

I know people like that, however a simple line of questioning determined that these people don't follow politics very closely. Let's face it. 80-90% of those who will vote this November will not know even a tenth of what we know by following the campaign as closely as folks like us do. A lot of that 80-90% will get their information solely from whatever comercials come on during American Idol, Lost or football/Nascar.

Don't tell Lieberman.
Even more positive news from Barack Obama's trip to the Middle East: a new poll by Israel Radio shows, for perhaps the first time, Israelis preferring Obama to John McCain.
When asked "who would you rather see elected as the next president of the United States," Obama bested John McCain by a 37-28 margin. While far from a decisive advantage -- 35 percent of Israelis chose "no preference" or some other answer -- the poll reflects a notably different state of affairs from previous surveys, which generally showed McCain with a large advantage over Obama.
Please. The media didn't cover even five seconds of the long, rambling, incoherent McCain explanation that the "surge" wasn't "the surge," but was in fact the well-known counterinSURGEncy strategy. Do you really think there is a remote chance they'll notice this error?

the entire republican establishment has ignored afghanistan.
kind of like how they say "there hasnt been an attack on u.s. soil since 9/11" which ignores the anthrax attacks for example.
republicans.. if the facts dont support your argument, simply leave out the facts.

President Bush called the anthrax attacks "a second wave of terrorist attacks upon our country...[a] biological attack... acts of terrorism... an act of terror... ongoing terrorist attack."

Once again, the press gives McCain a free pass. I think they are afraid to look as if they are picking on him. But it's OK to go after Obama, afterall he is young (and black) well spoken (and black) he can take a punch (and black) and he needs to prove himself ....and did I mention he is black?
I don't understand why McCain has the polling numbers he does, he is THE SAME AS BUSH, GAFFES AND ALL. I just don't get it.

Mark in Florida raises the key question regarding polling. The only way to know the answer is to know WHO owns these polling companies and WHAT methodology they are employing. They seem to be an extension of the MSM and perhaps their ownership is the same.

At age 73 my historical memory may be in decline but I cannot recall any presidential candidate who was as clearly incompetent as McSame. Even Bob Dole did not make daily factual blunders and then DENY THEM OVER and OVER AGAIN.
