    mccain is confused

    McCain thinks supporting the troops means top 1 percent tax cuts while the troops don't have body armor and are getting their homes foreclosed
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    McCain thinks supporting the troops means getting them killed.

    Geeze, he's almost like a Jihadist, isn't he?

    McCain is a maverick Jihadist.

    McCain is using his new Rovian-trained puppeteer Schmidt for sound-bites now. I'm willing to bet he can't keep his train of thought straight for him any more than he could before.

    Unless he keeps LiarMan with him at all times so he can whisper sweet nothings in his ears.
  • lpeggy · 1 year ago
    so much for not attacking Obama from foreign soil. Or maybe he thinks it doesn't count if it is in a press release.
  • dad · 1 year ago
    don't ask mccain. he won't know what he meant.
  • gwpriester · 1 year ago
    Anybody who wants to keep the troops in Iraq for 100 years let alone one more day, does not support the troops. He supports the vermin who are making all the money from this ill conceived and poorly executed war. The same war profiteers who support McCain to keep the gravy train on the track.

    OT -

    Earlier today Obama' website went down for maintainence. When it came rback up it appears that the site no longer lists the number of members in a particular subject group, whuch change occurred less than a day after the subject of crticizing Obama for his FISA fold became the largest member group on the site in less than a week.

    This appears further sign of cowardice and weakneess and could clearl be an attempt to put lipstick on the pig that is Obama's FISA failure.

    Yes he can recognize this he is a capiutulating coward.

    There he goes again. Open mouth and insert foot. McCain must really be mad that Wes Clark said he wasn't presidential material because he was a prisoner of war. I say dem surrgates keep it up. We will finally see him and his famous temper in action.

    The republican attack machine is alive and well. These fools are going to be throwing the kitchen sink at Obama from now until November.

    why doesn't Obama just start having barbecues with these morons and give them donuts and stuff if they are such WATBs!!
  • MassachusettsLiberalinDC · 1 year ago
    The fact that McCain attacks Obama over this vote is ridiculous for several reasons:

    1. his campaign portrays the vote as being against our troops, veterans, and "critical funding" when it was, in fact, a vote against a funding bill without withdrawal language. Vote 181, 2007.
    2. his campaign fails to mention that Obama had already voted for the troops, veterans, and "critical funding" for Iraq and Afghanistan. Votes 126 and 147, 2007.
    3. his campaign fails to mention that the President vetoed such funding approved by Obama.
    4. most importantly, his campaign fails to note that on the same measure in which Obama voted to fund our troops and veterans McCain first voted NAY, (Vote 126, 2007) and was “not present” for the final vote (Vote 147, 2007).

    Some would call this a flip flop, I will not. The McCain campaign is playing a game of apples and oranges, of misrepresentation, but they can't get away with it once a little context and those pesky facts are revealed.

    "The Illinois senator called a second news conference of the day Thursday to address the GOP criticism of him and resulting questions about where he stands on Iraq.

    He said what he learns from military commanders on his upcoming trip to Iraq will refine his policy but "not the 16-month timetable" for withdrawing U.S. troops from combat in Iraq. He said what he learns could affect how many residual troops might be needed to train the Iraqi army and police."
