Obama: Dems Need a Candidate Who Disagreed with John McCain on War
by Bonney Kapp
In his Denver speech Wednesday, Barack Obama told the crowd that Democrats need someone who held a different position on the War in Iraq with John McCain, the Republican with the momentum at the moment. In other words, Hillary Clinton voted with John McCain to authorize the war and Democrats need a “clear contrast” with the Republicans. “It’s not enough to say you’ll be ready from Day One - you have to be right from Day One,” Obama said.
Check out his McCain remarks here:

No we don’t. We need someone who has a plan to get us OUT.
I know many people who disagreed with John McCain, and that does not make them qualified for being President. What we need is someone who can right a world of wrongs, not someone who can just gripe about the past vote.
Clinton is looking ahead, tot he future. Obama is constantly looking back to the past.
After the initial vote, Obama, supported the war. How bout some truth Obama? Talk about your glass houses.
Also, when exactly have being right and being ready two different things? I can certainly be ready and be right.
Barack Obama never thinks he is wrong, apparently. I would much rather have a President that knows they make mistakes, but strives to fix them. We’ve already had 8 years of a man who always thinks that he is right. It’s time for a leader that is willing to learn from their mistakes, not cover them up and pretend they never happened.
Much like Florida, Obama will do anything to cover up his errors. Anything.
Both demeocrats nominees will force us to put our collective tails between our legs and runfrom Iraq, then there will be no country that will trust us anymore to be the leader of the free world… We will b relegated to a socialistic third world nation which is forced to rely on a corrupted government… For everything!!!!!
Bryan, what’s your hat size? I want to make sure I have enough tin foil.
obama is nice guy, he should focus on what to do now with what we have facing america instead of making deal on past things……..war happened because of fear from 9/11 ,and bush cia showing proofs of weapon of mass destruction and i dont know for sure but i think at that time ,not now ,but at the time a lot of american thought the same way
but now is time to think what to do ,how to secure america,how to protect us from further attacks,how to keep our troops and iraqi people safe instaed of fighting about who voted and who did not
Brian,have you ever travelled outside the US ? Which “third world” country have you ever gone to? You only say these things because that’s what you were taught or raised to believe. America is a leader of the world because other countries let it be. No need for us Americans to be arrogant and think we are better than the rest of the world.Go outside the US, our even better outside your home State, and see the big picture.
Please read the Washington Monthly piece by Ted Widham titled:
Ask Not
Why Obama is not JFK
In addition I have done alot of my own research and find that Obama is not qualified at this time in his life to be he leader of he free world.
This article points out his weaknesses and why he not in Camelot yet…and the Kennedys do NOT ALL support him.
Can anyone enlighten me on what exactly Obama means by “change”?
BO also approved of the war in IRAQ, what am I mssing with his statements, does he always mislead the truth? He changes his story all the time, at first it was change from the past, then he brings all of the old time congressional folks from the past to help with his campaign, then he names it the past linked to the future, what is he really all about, help us all if he is the nominee. His persona is scary!
Sad that the Democrat party believes that over a million votes don’t count and that all the democrat votes are not worth a dime, and the voters will continue to support such an organization. The only candiate dropped out, again sad.
Let us look at McCain’s conservative credentials:
-IMMIGRATION: he wrote the bill granting amnesty to illegal immigrants (co-sponsored by Ted Kennedy)
-SOCIAL SECURITY: he voted to give your social security money to illegal immigrants
-TAXES: he voted against the Bush tax cuts multiple times (he has since flip-flopped and has campaigned as a lifelong tax-cutter)
-RHETORIC: he routinely engages in Democratic class warfare against big companies in America, particularly the “evil” drug companies who research cures to debilitating diseases for a profit
-ECONOMY: as recently as December 2007 he admitted “he does not know the economy very well” and needed to get better at it
-1ST AMENDMENT: he wrote the McCain-Feingold campaign finance bill that was declared to be an unconstitutional infringement of the 1st Amendment (co-sponsored by ultra-liberal Democrat Russ Feingold)
-2ND AMENDMENT: he was called the “worst 2nd amendment candidate” by the president of the NRA
-ENERGY TAX: wrote a bill (co-sponsored by his buddy Lieberman) imposing a massive tax on energy which, according to the Department of Energy, would drastically raise the price of gasoline and put 300,000 Americans out of work
-GLOBAL WARMING: supports radical global warming legislation which involved him voting with every Democrat; think only America is responsible to take action, not other superpowers
-JUDGES: he joined forces with Democrats (Gang of 14) to block the Senate Republican’s attempt to confirm conservative, strict constructionist judges
-WAR ON TERROR: fought with Hillary Clinton to demand that terrorists be given a full American trial
-GAY MARRIAGE: he joined liberals to fight against a federal marriage amendment supporting the institution of traditional marriage
-CHRISTIANS: campaigning in 2000, he famously described Christian leaders as “agents of intolerance”
-PRO-LIFE: he filed an amicus brief against pro-life advocates in Wisconsin
-BI-PARTISANSHIP: he met with leading Democrats in 2004 to discuss the possibility of being John Kerry’s Vice-President
-PROFESSIONAL ETHICS: ringleader of the infamous Keating 5 ethical scandal which cost US tax payers $160 billion (Google it)
-PERSONAL ETHICS: McCain cheated on his first wife after she had a severe accident that left her partially disabled. He then divorced her and married his multi-millionaire mistress, whose daddy bought McCain a spot in the Congress
I use to support Huckabee, but a vote for him now means a vote for McCain AMNESTY. Vote Romney to save the conservative movement from the New York Time’s favorite Republican, Juan McCain.
Obama has no understanding of what “right” means!!! He has modified his view on Iraq to suit his campaign. I cannot support a person who is too weak to vote either yea or nay so many times! How in the heck does he know what’s right??? He is immature and grabs at anything the wind blows to add fuel to his rhetoric..and that’s all it is, RHETORIC! Obama has not been truthful about who he is, his relationship with Rezko and how much money he took from the man; he has paraded himself as a agent of change but has yet to specifically say WHAT change and HOW he will accomplish change, other than to say he can bring people together. You can’t be an agent of change and a voice for the people when you demean the votes of the people in Florida by calling their votes a “Beauty Contest”!! But he will try to wiggle out of that too, with some lame excuse. He’s arrogant and not capable of being the kind of President this country needs or can trust.
The muslum does not want us to be in these areas since these are his people. don’t trust him.
The Washington Monthly piece by Ted Widham titled:
“Ask Not -Why Obama is not JFK”-is Ted Widham’s Opinion.
Sen Obama NEVER said he is JFK.Obama does not need to be President. He has already made an impact during this election cycle.He should not compromise his stature by accepting the VP position if Hillary wins.Hillary Clinton’s nomination will only galvanize the Republicans.
Republicans should win in ‘ 08 and clean up the mess left by George W Bush. The challenge will be on John McCain to finally capture Osama Bin Laden.Also, God forbid, if there is another terrorist attack on John McCain’s watch,will he blame the previous administration ?
Since you have to be ego centrical, power hungry, and have no real life outside of Washington there are very few people who are stupid enough to run for President.
So, let’s look at how Obama came into the Democratic Presidential scene:
1) He gave a 30 minute line of BS at a Democratic convention
2) He voted against the Iraq war (I think)
That makes him qualified to lead this once great nation in my opinion.
If you want to lose sleep, repeat after me….

Sorry, maybe this one will highlight the websites..
You’ve got to be kidding. Ya, Obama will certainly contrast McCain in discussing the War. He sounds like a naive little kid. McCain will eat him alive. The War is exactly the reason he would lose to a republican.
This is so perplexing to me. Now, it’s only when Clinton says something about him is when it’s distasteful and old politics? Lord knows I don’t want anymore whining from him.
Would somebody tell me if Obama was in the Senate when they voted on the war? If he didn’t have a chance to even vote, how can he keep throwing this up in Hillary’s face. It’s easy to say what you might have done, but put in the position of seeing and hearing all the EVIDENCE for the war, he could never say what he would have done.
Democrates help us all. If Mc Cain gets in we are all sunk. He his a milatary war, fear munger who has no clue on economic control. Surge is working, If so pass the effort to IRAG troops and get out. Mr Bush broke the country and now he wants to stay for ever.
Hero, yes but that is the past, we are looking for a peaceful future, not 40 year duration in IRAG,,, are you kidding me… he is dangerous.

And another…
Some of you zealots are making it very easy for this Independent to vote in November. I won’t vote for Clinton under any circumstance. We have had enough of the Clintons and the Bushes, both. We need to get on with building our country on new leadership. I’m not happy with McCain but I will sure as hell vote for him over Clinton(s).
I like Both Obama and Clinton. I feel that they are the only two canidates that has the american interest in mind. They all thought it was best to go into Iraq because we thought they had weapons of mass destruction. Colon Powell told Bush if he invase iraq we inherit their problems and thats what we been doing for 5 years now. Now, its time time for iraq to stand up on their on two feet and take control of their country again. Obama and Clinton is trying to get our troops out of the region and Mc cain trying to keep us there longer. How long this going to continue… The comments that Law put on this page about musliums is very ignorant. GO DEMOCRATS
