    What is worse is that Hillary even surpassed McCain in the pandering. The French have absolutely no respect for either Bill or Hillary Clinton and made it painfully known to them when they tried to speak there last year. Even McCain is not despised as much as Billary.

    Airbus got that Air Force tanker deal because Boeing got caught bribing people and stuff. The CEO of Boeing and the Secretary of the Air Force both lost their jobs over it. Also, Airbus had a better plane. Boeing makes crappy airplanes. The 737 has a faulty rudder design which has led to several crashes.

    Thank you.

    Hillary Clinton is an asseuil
  • GDawg · 1 year ago
    You liberals are funny. You have been hammering Bush for years now because he distanced himself from France. You libs just kept up the matra that Bush was a divider.

    Now John McCain is over in France building a relationship with them and you hammer him for that.

    But's that OK, because you on the far-left don't decide the Presidental Election, neither do those on the far-right. The President wins by the moderate and independant voters and McCain has more of those voters than Hillary & Obama combined.

    I guess you libs should start preparing for the 2012 election, because you already lost the 2008 election.

    WOW, what drugs are you on??? You shouldn't be operating mechanical equipment & I think that includes computer keyboards. Maybe it would be best if you just went back to screaming at your TV. Down boy....

    You tell 'em GDawg!

    Sending American jobs overseas is what real Americans have been longing for!

    Excellent point.

    The Clintons have reaped significant financial rewards from their relationship with the Indian community, both in their personal finances and Hillary’s campaign fundraising. Hillary Clinton, who is the co-chair of the Senate India Caucus, has drawn criticism from anti-offshoring groups for her vocal support of Indian business and unwillingness to protect American jobs. Bill Clinton has invested tens of thousands of dollars in an Indian bill payment company, while Hillary Clinton has taken tens of thousands from companies that outsource jobs to India. Workers who have been laid off in upstate New York might not think that her recent joke that she could be elected to the Senate seat in Punjab is that funny.

    See my post above. Airbus has suppliers in the U.S. in 26 states and 61 cities. So how are jobs going overseas?

    Wow! You sure are ignorant.
  • BorninUSA · 1 year ago
    If you insist on electing McCain you will be getting 2 for 1. Along with McCain will come Lieberman as caretaker to make sure McCain doesn't make a fool of himself and to correct McCain's mistakes. And someplace close will be Graham. If you notice, Lieberman and Graham are stuck to McCain like glue where ever he goes. McCain is senile and needs all the help he can get. Whether you admit it or not, McCain is not healthy. War with Iran is a certainty and so is a draft. You repugs don't care who you elect just so you win over the Democrats.

    With relationships like that, who needs syphillis?

    He has ears, but cannot hear.
    He has a mouth, but cannot speak clearly.
    He has a brain, but cannot think.
  • GDawg · 1 year ago
    You can sure see the difference of liberal posters on this site vs. a site like Political.com.

    This site is the angry closed minded uneducated far-left side of things. And very juvenile.

    Let me know how you libs feel in November. I can't wait to see the anger seething from you fools.

    And yet you stay -- you might want to bring that up to your therapist.
  • Tom3 · 1 year ago
    McSame is being hammered by us because he is 4 more years of disastrous Chimpy policies. McInsane would keep us in Iraq for 100 years. And he is clueless about the economy, he admits it.

    We don't need four more years of Chimpy. We will be lucky to survive the last 8.

    McCain...against torture before he was for torture.

    Disgusting

    Wonder if Mitt Romney, in trying to reposition himself to be McCain's VP choice would like to eat his recent words where he trashed France? Romney recently said the European Union wants to “drag America down to Europe’s standards,” adding: “That’s where Hillary and Dems would take us." IOW, Hillary = France.”

    Romney in his concession speech, said, "Europe is facing a demographic disaster. That is the inevitable product of weakened faith in the Creator, failed families, disrespect for the sanctity of human life and eroded morality.

    God forbid, Romney said, "We could become the France of the 21st century!"

    It's clear that after 8 ruling years the Republicans cannot run a war, cannot run an economy and cannot protect our Constitutional rights. If a majority of the American people are stupid enough or fearful enough or ignorant enough to elect John McCain in November this country will continue down such a disastrous path of moralism, patriotism, religiosity, warmongering, financial ludditism, environmental shortsightedness and privacy erosion that it might be too late to turn back the tide on fascism, American-style.
  • Tom3 · 1 year ago
    That's the problems with the Repukes. They think this is just a game. Win win win. They are too fucking stupid to see the consequences of their actions.

    Repukes screwed the pooch in the last 8 years. They will pay for it at the polls this November. I would be very surprised if McCain won, particularly since he has tied himself to Chimpy and Chimpy's unpopular policies.

    The Patriot-News is reporting that Lou Thieblemont, mayor of Camp Hill, Pennsylvania and lifelong Republican has switched parties so he can vote for Barack Obama in the upcoming Pennsylvania primary on April 22.

    "I'm sick and tired of the politics of fear in this country. He's the only one who doesn't do that," Thieblemont said of Obama. "He's the only candidate who's said he'd talk to our enemies and try to get some common ground."

    Lou Thieblemont.....

    Isn't that a French name?
  • iammattthomas · 1 year ago
    I guess I get that this is easy enough to jump on McCain for. Seriously, though -- I say this as a fan of your writing -- this contract for the KC-45 is something we should encourage more of. Our government chose the best aircraft rather than settling for Boeing's tanker in the name of protectionism. The fact is that the Northrop Grumman-EADS contract is going to bring thousands of high-paying jobs to a region of the country that desperately needs it. Caterwauling because the Air Force's decision somehow hurts America just makes us look even worse than usual in the eyes of our European allies. Let's be honest -- this isn't something we can nail on McCain. And really -- hasn't he made enough ACTUAL bad decisions that we can concentrate on those?
  • devis1 · 1 year ago
    Grumman was one of the largest employers on Long Island(NY) for decades. Lots of people lost their life long jobs in the late 80's and early 90's--I don't remember the particulars but it was devastating. The corporations survive to live another day.
  • Tom3 · 1 year ago
    Amazing, a Repuke actually came to his senses. I didn't think it was possible.

    I thought all Repukes had irreversible brain damage. But there IS hope now.
  • Tom3 · 1 year ago
    Chimpy is having Lockheed, which has never built a helicopter, build the new Air Force One helicopters. They've already tripled the cost of the damn things.

    Chimpy doesn't need a helicopter, he needs a hang glider.

    4,000 American dead in Iraq -- for nothing
    40,000 American wounded in Iraq - for nothing
    $500,000,000,000 in American tax dollars stolen by Bush cronies -- for nothing.

    Is that big enough for you?

    Ummmm.... The Airbus tanker for the US Air Force is being built in Mobile, Alabama at a new facility that will bring 5000 jobs to the region. It's actually a partnership with Northrup Grumman, an AMERICAN company.

    This whole bru-haha is without merrit.
  • KatherineHepburnEyes · 1 year ago
    I wonder if McCain thought he was in Ireland all day?
