Meanwhile, jets just passed over my house headed to the NASCAR race...they do a flyover in a display of jingoistic bullshit, and I want to know why our tax dollars are paying for it.
I have been waiting for this type of fight back for a long time. Hope he keeps this up.
Here is the playbook McCain / Bush are following:
Fan the fear: Ignore the critics, Republican wise men say — there is still no better way to win than to stir up concerns about Democratic patriotism and their commitment to national security and killing terrorists. It often remains the best call in the GOP playbook, especially with McCain atop the ticket.
Republican officials privately urge lawmakers to whack their opponents whenever they can for worrying more about coddling terrorist suspects than condemning them, failing to support U.S. troops, exhibiting weakness in dealing with dictators, and rushing to a quick Iraq exit that could put U.S. servicemen and women at risk. Polls still show GOP strength on national security and fighting terrorism — at least when compared with their lousy numbers on domestic issues.

In Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Mr. Spock quotes what he says is an old Vulcan proverb: "Only Nixon could go to China." The analogy is that Captain Kirk, known for his dislike of Klingons, was nevertheless escorting Klingons to a peace conference.
One of the few things Nixon did right and the Repubs are pissing on Nixon. Who won't they throw under the bus; Maybe Joe Barron? He is a bit worse than the Reverend Wright. By the way another Republican MegaChurch pedophile has been caught.

That's like saying McCain went back to normalize relationships with Vietnam or something.
Ohhh no!
For the details, see:
"McCain Defended Reagan, North During Iran-Contra Scandal."
He was just buying time and I'm not sure if the Czechs could be defended anyway. I mean, how? Was England going to airlift troops into Czechoslovakia? France wasn't going to budge, that's for sure.
But I do blame Chamberlain for not cutting a deal with Stalin a little later, when Stalin and Molotov were begging for a united front against Germany.
Under pressure from Labour, Chamberlain did eventually send a delegation on a very slow trip to the Soviet Union to talk to Stalin, but the Germans got wind of it and cut a deal with Stalin before Chamberlain's delegation even arrived.
Stalin knew that Hitler’s ultimate aim was to attack Russia. In 1939, he invited Lord Halifax, the British Foreign Secretary to go to Russia to discuss an alliance against Germany. Britain refused. The British feared Russian Communism, and they believed that the Russian army was too weak to be of any use against Hitler.
In August 1939, with war in Poland looming, the British eventually sent a minor official called Reginald Ranfurly Plunckett-Ernle-Erle-Drax. He travelled by slow boat, not by plane. He did not have authority to make any decisions, and had to refer every question back to London. The talks dragged on.
The Russians asked if they could send troops into Poland if Hitler invaded. The British refused. The talks broke down.
In the same month, Hitler sent Ribbentrop, a senior Nazi, to Russia. He offered a Nazi-Soviet alliance – Russia and Germany would not go to war, but would divide Poland between them.
Stalin knew Hitler was lying, but he did not trust the British either – the Munich Agreement had convinced him that Britain and France would never dare to go to war with Hitler.
Stalin had two choices:
if he made an alliance with Britain, he would end up fighting a war with Hitler over Poland.
if he made an alliance with Germany, he would get half of Poland, and time to prepare for the coming war with Germany.
He chose the latter.

Perhaps it is the remaining 28% of those who still believe Bush is doing a great job who are the ultimate losers in all of this and yet when confronted with eight years of nothing other than death and destruction to show for his time in the White House, those who make up that 28% still manage to keep a straight face when cheering on the boy who would be king.
When John. A posted his piece on Bush and Nazis, the conspiracy theories came to the surface again. But if we were to take the time to really go back in history, another thought comes to mind. If it looks a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it probably is. No wonder Christopher Story continues on the track he does with regard to Herr Bush Sr. and his direct connection to the Nazis.
Keep talking Barrack, as the more you do, the greater confidence I have that this once great country will and can be brought back from the abyss. Continue to speak truth to power, for just like vampires that can't stand the light of day, we may one day drive all of the neocon snakes back under their rocks for the good of all mankind.
So what the hell is up with this?
They all have a problem with anyone who is for the people. Funny you should bring up JFK. Today while standing in line at the grocery store, the headline on one of those gossip papers said JFK Jr. was murdered, poisoned before his fatal plane crash. Wonder what the truth is to that crash. That is the 2nd time I saw an article that said he was murdered.

Apparently, Bush and McCain think Bush's own Secretary of Defense in an Appeaser too:
Robert Gates a few days ago: "We need to figure out a way to develop some leverage with respect to the Iranians and then sit down and talk with them. If there's going to be a discussion, then they need something, too. We can't go to a discussion and be completely the demander with them not feeling that they need anything from us."

McSame and the Grand Ol' Neo-cons are never gonna know what hit 'em.
Obama '08!
Curious, that.
Vote for McCain.
the problem is that neocons don't believe in negotiations, diplomacy, or anything but confrontation and bullying.
everyone of these guys is a bully in personal life as well as political.

I don't consider JFK to be a great president, but for his setting a moon landing as a target for NASA. It really was Eisenhower who got the space push going, wasn't it?
Also, Eisenhower negotiated with Mao to get a cease-fire in the Korean War and he negotiated with Ho Chi Minh on the Vietnam cease-fire and proposed elections which he later blocked.
This is a blog inhabited mostly by adults, this kind of propoganda-repeat-until-people-believe stuff doesn't play that well. Stuff like that seems to work well on the weak-minded set though...
At any rate, these statements are nothing more than a distraction from the real issues at hand, like foreign policy, the economy, and healthcare reform. Instead of talking about that, people choose to perpetuate crap like this. How very sad.
I shouldn't speak for another commenter, but I interpreted bullitt's comment to mean this foolish stuff is all the Republicans have for the rumored October Surprise.
In other words, they have nuthin'.
Reagan initiated star wars and moved Pershing missles into Europe; and basically told the Russians and East Germans to kiss his ass.
