McCain camp calls on Obama to condemn supporter
Phoenix, AZ — McCain campaign officials are calling on Sen. Obama to condemn remarks made by an introductory speaker who personally attacked Sen. McCain as “a warmonger” at one of the Democrat’s events Friday.
While he warmed up the crowd at a Grand Forks, ND campaign stop, local liberal radio talk show host Ed Schultz referred to Sen. McCain as “a warmonger” prior to Obama’s arrival at a North Dakota Democratic party event.
During his remarks to a crowd of several hundred Democrats, the Illinois Senator thanked Schultz and called him the “voice of progressive radio.”
“Senator Obama has repeatedly said that words matter, they do, and for him to stand on stage and thank someone who just minutes before used hate filled and inflammatory language to describe John McCain, someone who has served his nation in and out of uniform for over 30 years, shows Obama’s true colors, liberal Chicago-style politics as usual,” said McCain campaign spokesman Jeff Sadosky. “Americans want more, they deserve better.”
The controversy arises about six weeks after McCain condemned conservative radio talk show host Bill Cunningham for launching a personal attack on Obama during one of the GOPer’s campaign events. Prior to McCain’s arrival at a Feb. 26 Cincinnati, OH town hall meeting, Cunningham repeatedly invoked Obama’s middle name, “Hussein,” and mocked him as a “hack” during his own introductory remarks.
After learning about Cunningham’s incendiary comments from advisers immediately after the event, McCain condemned and disassociated himself with the talk show host minutes later at a press conference. The presumptive GOP nominee has vowed repeatedly to run a “respectful” race and campaign officials are attempting to draw a contrast between the McCain’s quick condemnation of Cunningham’s remarks and Obama’s lack of reaction thus far.
Note: More details and context may become available from Schultz’s remarks in the coming days since the event was open only to pooled media, meaning most of Obama’s traveling press corps were not able to attend the event and have to base reporting on the event on limited sources.

I’ve heard Ed Schultz on his radio program - He’s a cartoon character . . . who cares what he says?
go hillary march on to victory
McCain needs to ATTACK Hussein obama as and when opportunities comes. Taking the high road to be Mr. NiceGuy against a dirty scheming cunning politician like Hussein obama ain’t going to work. Just look at who he befriends and have close association with.. Rezko, Wright, Louis Farrakkan, etc, etc.
Hussein obama is really a FAR LEFT LIBERAL POLITICIAN in Washington DC. He has managed to con and brainwash many naive people and the mainstream media like CNN and MSNBC that he is The One. Since Hillary cannot be attacking Hussein obama from the left, John Mccain has got to be the one doing it, and he needs to do it NOW.
Rule #1 from Tsan Hsu art of War - the best defence is offence!

*** tom in pa, I’m supporting McCain but god luck there is no way I want a racist like Obama as my President! I hope the Pa voters show how hated his is and vote for Hillary!
Hmm..let me get this right, MSNBC is part of NBC, NBC is owned by GE, GE makes many things for the MILITARY, (Gatling guns, fighter aircraft engines, etc.)…guess it doesn’t matter WHO owns the networks. “Warmonger”?…LOL
McCain should start going on the offense like Obama’s supporters do!
Warmonger is a personal attack, not a political one!
Come on McCain supporters. Help McCain out!
Stop being wimps and stand up for a national hero.
President or not, McCain is and always has been a Patriot!!!
Tom is Pa
I read on a progressive blog in PA that since Casey had to go back to Washington that BHO can’t even draw a crowd…?
McCain has not been able to raise much money because he doe not have the support you think he has or all of his supporters on this board are cheap.
TO Jeff X….GE also does biss with IRAN.
Time for McCain to take the kid gloves off an begin to verbally slab this swartz around based on the swartz’ socialist principles. I know its not good to judge someone based on their appearance, but there’s just something about Obama that seems like he’s really gay and I cannot stand looking at this tool any longer. Its really going to be nice if McCain wins and we never have to see this race mongering bast#rd and his wife take the stage again in an effort to decieve and divide.
Heussin Obama…supporters should read about how thier Leader, is cupbale , for the rape and murder of over 600 Kenyan christians when his cousin’s supporters went on a murderous rampage in Kenya after his loss for the Presidential Election. It was horrible what was unleashed on those people…all this happening during our NH primaries….If the pictures aren’t enough to make them outraged…the result of Power sharing should..Since his cousin’s Loss . He will be controling the local government and implementing Sheria Law on it’s citizen…There will be war in the region and if NoBama is elected where will his loyalties lie….Will he send our troops to Kenya?
After looking at these pictures….I say SHAME ON THEM…..

Hillary/McCain 08
McCain supporters talk a good game but they do not support McCain. All they do is engage in anti Obama rhetoric. Get off your asses and send McCain some money. Put your money where your mouth is. McCain needs your financial support.
Good point Jezabel on the money issue as I agree with you. And yes we do talk a good game and most of it is accurate and can be backed up.
How many Obama supporters are reading this crap. The same thing is repeated over and over, like you’re trying to convince yourself. I’m sure Obama supporters could care less. They are not here and if they were they won’t believe it. We need to be about supporting our candidate. I don’t mean to sould mean but I’m tired of hearing people preach to the choir and seeing McCain
raising far less money than the other candidates. If we believe in our candidate he should be raising much more than the others. Money Talks, BS Walks.
two of obama supporters have been doing his dirty work, first Rhodes whom show was promoted on Obama site. Now Ed Schultz is doing it , when an Clinton supporter said something the news was all ready to blame her Where are they now Why don’t the news explain how Obama advertise this Rhodes show on his campaign site. It was listed under events on his site.
If it is an official event listed on his site he needs to start making apologies but he won’t till way late if he even does!
I am afraid of what Obama really believes in his heart.
There are just too many shady people around Obama.
Rezco, Terrorist William Ayers, Rev. racist Wright, Farrakkhan, The new Black Panter Party.
Is this the change America wants?
Scares me to death. I will never vote for this man,, he is so far left of most of the American people
he is dangerous.
Obama’s wife thinks America is mean, and she hasn’t been proud to be an American till Obama ran for pres.??
Obama plays by his own rules always. He can do and say no wrong. His writers give him a answer for everything and all these fool supporters of his fall for it every time. God help us if he becomes our president. He is a stick of dynamite waiting to be lit.
I was at the Rally in Grand Forks, ND!!!! It was embarrassing the way that Dorgan, Conrad, and Pomeroy introduced Obama. They were almost drooling over him. They went on and on. Obama spoke but it was his same old same old speech!!
Then Senator Hillary Clinton came and spoke (after she had been in Altanta and spoke at the Martin Luther King Event - which Obama of course didn’t go too) When Clinton got up I was so
mad that Dorgan, Conrad and Pomeroy went back up as they already have endorsed Obama!
Thank God Gov. Sinner introduced Clinton (they have been friends for years). Clinton’s speech
was absolutely wonderful. She talked and gave SOLUTIONS. She told us how she would do things and where and when things would take place. MY VOTE GOES TOTALLY TO HILLARY NOW!
ED SCHULZ IS IN THE TANK WITH DORGAN, CONRAD AND POMEROY WITH OBAMA. We are
also embarrassed of him. He has a big mouth. One thing about McCain and Clinton - they truly
do respect one another. They have worked very hard together on many things. Anybody
that is for Obama seems to be doing anything mean, dispirited, etc. It has to come out more -
the media sugar coat Obama and he can do know wrong!!!!
Obama was calling for McCain’s head when the talk show host was calling him by his second name, which by the way, IS THE TRUTH. HIS NAME IS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA. Now he is supported by a radio talk show host who calls McCain a warmonger (which is not true). Let’s call for Obama’s head. This is what we can expect in the campaigns to come. Obama has always got a PASS from the media on anything he does. Bet they won’t even mention this. GO HILLARY or GO MCCAIN.
GO HILLARY !!!!!!
Shame on the obama group - McCain is running a great campaign - with respect!
Too bad the Change man is turning out to be change - NOT for the better.
Obama’s campaign has gone far too negative - not a good sign for the future.
You are say you support McCain but his campaign has not raised much money. Is all you want to do is run down Obama. How many Obama supporters do you think are reading this crap. The same thing is repeated over and over, like you’re trying to convince yourself. I’m sure Obama supporters could care less. They are not here and if they were they won’t believe it. We need to be about supporting our candidate. I don’t mean to sould mean but I’m tired of hearing people preach to the choir and seeing McCain

Obama is arrogant. Asking the “Typical White Women” if he kissed her if then she would vote for him.” This man should be on MTV not running for President.
McCain and Clinton are much more intelligent and Respect all Americans.
Go Hillary or McCain!!!!
Obama is a liar and his wife is a racist!!!!
Mcain = warmonger. Those that vote for war on flimsy reasons or worst on Lies are Warmongers. Mcain is a warmonger.
Mccain will get the money when he needs it, if it’s Hillary. He won’t need it for that P.O.S. Obama.
Jo Anne-
John McCain does not want to be in this war any more then any American does, but he knows the importance in staying in Iraq until there is a stable government established .. hopefully soon. Would the same guy call Lincoln a “warmonger”? Of couse not .. get real people we are in scary times while fighting against radical muslims, who delibertly kill women and children in the name of “Allah”.
I agree with you more poeple need to realize what a patriot this man is.
Obama needs to come out and codemn the supporter who called Mccain a “warmonger”!
Do you really think Obama will distance himself from a supporter which Obama really and truely agrees with….lets get real here!!! How can you expect the far left to “control themselves”….you see it in the Clinton-Obama bantering so why do you think the will treat McCain with any respect? The far left and left HATE what McCain stands for……experience, judgement, respect, credibilty, honesty, proven record, strong support to the spirit of america…….all those things Obama is the exact opposite from.
DO NOT EXPECT OBAMA TO STRAY FROM HIS REAL COLORS….defeat, surrender, let everyone in , poor security, change the national anthem….too war-like, get rid of the flag, economic programs similar to herbert Hoover….which caused the depression, support for the new black panthers….and many more.
Go Obama. We have covered you.
Its clear Obama haters are either
1)Simple minded: They believe that the only definition of a patriot is the one who puts his hand to his heart when the national anthem is sung. The only definition of a patriot is the one who can repeat God Bless America chant on and on. Rest everything does not matter. Imbeciles view of patriotism.
Or
2) Plain outright Rednecks. Who no matter what will not accept a Black as their president.
No more imbeciles for presidency of America.
go Obama.
OBAMA IS AN AL QAEDA SLEEPER.
Obama seems to always get a pass when his supporters scream vile words of hate at other candiates. If McCain or Clinton so much as passes a glance at Obama the media demands an apology and more. When the media starts to do their job and puts American first we might get the truth out.
As for money for McCain….as for now I give to Clinton but the day that Obama is nominated I will head to McCains website and donate.
American must be first in this election not Obama and his dirty politics.
We being the foremost power in the world, had to have tremendous responsibility. When we make mistakes a lot of people suffer.
Bush, was an imbecile when he launched this war on these flimsy reasons. UN inspectors for a long time mentioned there were no WMDS there, yet Bush in his imbecility launched this war.
McCain supported Bush and so did Hillary Clinton. They are WARMONGERS
Noun 1. warmonger - a person who advocates war or warlike policies
Yup - Shoe Fits.
Obama need not apologize, in fact in this elections Obama should hit McCain hard on the fact that Mcain is a war monger. We will make sure that America’s latent war weariness will be heard out loud.
All those videos should be repeated ad nauseum at CNN and MSNBC , where McCain sang Bomb bomb bomb Iran. MCains 100 year war will be used to bury him up in this elections. McCain = warmonger.
Vote for peace. Vote Obama
Thats right….NO MORE IMBISCILES FOR PRESIDENTS!!!!! GO HILLARY!!!! GO HILLARY!!!! GO HILLARY!!!! GO HILLARY!!!! GO HILLARY!!!! GO HILLARY!!!! GO HILLARY!!!! GO HILLARY!!!! GO HILLARY!!!! GO HILLARY!!!!!!!! 2008!!!
Obama fools….Go check out the polls and get a grip!! Obama is done and has been since we found out he is a racist. He has caused the country to be at war with the blacks of our country. He is not making peace, only war!!
McCain’s is old, does not know economics, is a warmonger and has a short temper. If this election is all about throwing in mud, we will throw mud on McCain too.
McCain is no Ronald Reagan to hide his Senility. He will make more mistakes like - Alqaeda being trained in Iran. No amount of making prepared speechs will protect McCain, for sometime or the other, he will be caught unawares. On a one - one debate with Obama, Obama will bury him with all his eloquence and intelligence. While McCain will only keep repeating my friends, my friends….. highlighting how old McCain is.
McCain will be hit hard on his flip flops on taxes. He will be hit hard on his lack of grasp of economics when economy is No1 issue for most Americans. No2 issue is war in Iraq. We will bury him in these issues.
As for hillary Clinton, her mouth is her reverand wright. I cringed watching her talk what she did when Marting Luther king was shot. I watched her on Jay Leno. God! She is such a big Fake.
Clintons Charity is their own. They gave the 10Mil to themselves. Sounds like a slush fund to me. Go to Townhall.com and read about it. A tax deduction for themselves.
You can read how some Super delegates have more power than others there too.
Protect the USA.
McCain 08
As far as the polls are concerned, Obama is leading Hillary clinton with a statistically significant lead of 49%-44%. Obama, Clinton and McCain are tied, statistically, with only 1% difference between McCain and either of the democrats. latest Gallup poll
The more McCain senility is known, the more he will lose. The more McCain’s lack of economics is exposed, the more he will lose.
Funny how different these polls are from eachother. You say you cringe when Hillary talks…Well..I gag when i even see Obama. Wait til the sh*t hits the fan in a few days on Obama.

*************
Jezabel,
Many people do read these blogs without posting…
I am a democrat and I support Hillary’s fight against Obama…but I am an american first. I have sent money to support Hillary and I have sent money to support McCAin…If Hillary looses the nomination then John McCain will be the first Republican vote in my life…If Hillary wins the nomination then I will have to do some real soul searching…I respect John MCCain as an American Hero and a true patriot. I am so Fed Up with the democratic party . This is not the party I have been loyal to all these years..
I would hope that my post against Obama would rally McCain supporters to send him money, we can’t wait till the General…think of the BIG BOUNCE if the nominee, he will get coming out of Denver…McCain is going to need LOTS of MONEY…to SLAP him down…and there won’t be alot of time before the General…Look how he is outspending Hillary now…if not for his money Hillary would be kicking his butt BIG TIME…and McCain will aleast have the advantage of Fox News…
This is what scares me..about Obama…Nothing seems to stick to this guy except the Jerimiah Wright scandal..but by time the General gets here I wonder what impact that will have….
Just my opinion of course…but I will keep posting about Obama’s ties and associations….even if one voter learns the truth about Obama…that could help spread the word.
Thanks for the Post….God Bless
This is just in, in NC Obama has opened up a 23% lead over clinton! And in PA, Obama has wiped out a huge lead of Clinton, and now obama is only 5 points away from Clinton (42:47).
Clinton with real substantance in policies, is getting pummeled by Obama. Just imagine what Obama will do with McCain. That McCain who does not understant economics, that McCain who is getting old, that McCain who is a warmonger.
Obama will sweep these elections, once McCain exposes himself in the general elections. Only the rednecks will hold out.
Vote for change, vote for youth, vote for a new age, vote for optimism, vote against war and warmongers, vote for Obama.
1.
Why would anyone believe any reporting by Fox news. It is the most biased, distorting
news media on tv.
2.
McCain is a war monger and has nothing to run on but his service record.
3.
With the National Debt now 90 trillion plus, he certainly cannot brag about his
parties record.
4.
With the economy, education. medical care falling apart, and with him supporting
Bush’s policies that created this mess, he will have a hard time winning.
5.
You hate mongers need to stop listening to Rush, get your heads out of the sand
and start thinking for yourselves.
Jezabel.
You make very good sense!
One thing Obama supporters have right, is the small amounts “DO” add up!
$20. isn’t going to break anyone’s wallet!
Don’t order the pizza tonight! Go online and give the pizza money to McCain.
Have a grilled cheese instead. Just for tonight!
For all you Hillary supporters, baying for Rev Wrights head, may I ask, why did Hillary stick with Bill Clinton even when he cheated her?
What made Hillary Clinton stick to her husband when he was clearly a womanizer. Yet Hillary stuck with Bill.
Now why cannot you accept the same argument of Obama with Rev Wright. Hypocrites!
Most of America is mature enough to know the difference between Rev Wright and Obama. We are voting for Obama not for Rev Wright. Get up from your imbecility Democrats.
Know that: A patriot is also someone who can stand up to injustices done to him or his community. A US marine is a patriot. A person who won commendations from one president (Lynden Johnson) is a patriot. Rev Wright is a patriot.
“Jsmith” - Fools such as yourself harp on McCain for saying “Iran” instead or “Iraq” in a long speech on a long trip to the Mideast and your basis falls on letter simple letter….”n”….. This was one letter “n” rather than “q” which McCain used. This was simply one letter in one word which was a simple, common mistake and this is all you Democrats have against McCain in which to slander this 30 year veteran of the Congress and Senate after hundreds and hundreds of speaking engagements? To think that you would stand up for Obama and/or Hillary, two people who do nothing but hang around racists, constantly flip flob, take dirty money from dirty people such as Rezko and the European/socialist billionaire George Soros who happens to be the main financier Obama’s campaign and to think that you have let one letter such as “n” influence your vote? You don’t mention the fact that Obama is taking money from a European Socialist who hates America do you? If its only one word such as “Iran” which McCain used is your basis of why you believe McCain is senile, then you really are one dummy. One letter is what you use as a basis to call McCain senile. Are you really an adult? I mean, hell, are you over the age of 15 whereas you would post such a stupid comment? Please tell me that you are not over 18 years old because this country is really in poor shape if you are using something such as one letter for you to determine that you believe McCain is senile and nevermind McCain’s great, unselfish service as a stateman for 30 years. Get off the board you racist pig.
Obama is the right person to have as a president for USA at this time.
I hope he will be the president we ever have in this country.
Obama is the right person for this time.
He will be the best president we ever have.
Vote for OBAMA.

=========================
Nice non fact based representation of your personal thoughts.
Got anything to support your opinions with?
It is about time for McCain to grow some gonads. Obama and his supporters will say and do whatever is necessary to deface McCain. Now, I do understand McCain wants to be seen as a fair, clean, and upstanding guy, however, Obama will end up kicking McCain around like a redheaded stepchild if McCain doesn’t stand up for himself and the republican party. Now is the time to start to go on the offense and tar away at the horrible judgment and facade of character Obama has portrayed himself, with the help of all the media bed fellows. Come the general election McCain must have a concrete identity that will show him as the warrior and defender of the people for the people, not a grandpa that can be pushed around by a young street punk.
Ohh Make Iran Glow, just you wait before General elections come up. McCain will be exposed for who he is. An old man. Christ Reagan was younger than McCain is now when he became president. And to think of it, if McCain becomes president , he will be a 72 years old. Reagan was 69 when he became president. Reagan also suffered from Alzhiemer’s disease.
For gods sake, McCain is 70+, people one typically find in old age homes. If McCain will make it two terms he will be a granddaddy 80 years old, perhaps walking on crutches.
Mark my words McCain will show his senility in this elections. McCain will make more blunders, there is still a long way away to the elections.
McCain does not understand economics, and no one can teach him. You cannot teach old dog new tricks. McCain voted for the war in Iraq on flimsy reasons. He is a warmonger.
Life expectancy for males in USA according to CIA world book of facts: 75.15 years. McCain if he becomes the president will be 72 years.
Do you guys still want the same old politics of the past?

==================================================
I have yet to see any liberal support their statements with any factual proof. Some actually have tried, but very few.
They spew out foolishness that is most of the time laughable.
If you think Obama is the best candidate for President, give us five (5) factual reason for your opinion.
“Obama is the best person we have” “He will be the best President ever” Why??????? How??????
So far he has been caught repeatedly misleading and fibbing.
What is America’s life expectancy if Obama becomes President?
More on senility of McCain: McCain indeed will be the OLDEST president of America if he ever were to be elected:

A fact that WILL not be forgotten by Obama’s camp. If McCain’s camp wants to play politics of mud slinging, if Fox news and Rush Limbaugh’s of this world want to hurl dirt, know that we will be ready.
How dirty do you want to get? McCain indeed is thought ful when he says he wants a fair honest and upright election. We will have it if McCain’s camp wants it.

R Reagan was 70 one month after he took office.
It always surprises me that the Dem folks will use age (a discriminatory practice) as a means to say someone should not be qualified for a position. I thought you guys where the party for the oppressed?

JSMITH….Where are the 5 reasons why Obama is qualified for prez??
=================================================
I don’t think it can be done. The guy is an enigma.
FACT: Wright is anti-USA, a bigot and a racist,.
FACT: Hussein obama and his wife Michelle are Wright’s FOLLOWERS for 23 years.
QUESTION:
HOW CAN HUSSEIN OBAMA BE LEADER OF USA??
HOW CAN MICHELLE BE FIRST LADY??
McCain seems a little touchy to be a Republican…. maybe he really is just a R.I.N.O
The only personal opinion was about Fox News.
Do you not know our National Debt was announced last week as being 90 trillion dollars??
Do you not believe our economy, education system, medical care are broken??
Do you actually believe a Bush supporter will not give us another four years of
destroying our country??
Our country is broke. We owe our souls to China, etc. Continuation of this war will
bankrupt us, if it already hasn’t, and continue to take the lives of our outstanding fighting men and
women. An unjustified, unfinanced, mismanaged diaster.
How can you continue to support what our government has done to us???
What has HUSSEIN OBAMA done for the country so far that warrant so much hype???
NOTHING!! NOTHING!! NOTHING!!
Age as a discrimination:
As a pure human instinct I personally wont want to discriminate against some one who is old. But practically there are many things that old people cannot do.
They simply dont have the energy as a younger candidate,
they are not alert,
they make mistakes,
they are susceptible to diseases,
they recover less faster,
they are at risk to diseases like Alzhimers (Reagan had that one remember),
they are forgetful
The list goes on and on.
Check out what they say about driving and old age:

For many things, old people are not allowed for plain safety reasons. For the job of the most important post in the land, they should be debared. They are national security threat.
How about:
1) Goes to a church where they practice black liberation theology (racially divisive and hateful).
2) Lives in a 1.6 million dollar house in an effluent neighborhood, but his wife says he can be shoot just going to the gas station
3) Bought his house through questionable means that he will not disclose
4) Is ashamed of his white heritage.
5) Most liberal Senator based on his voting record in the Senate, believes in redistribution of income, aka socialism (earned income credit).

The only personal opinion was about Fox News.
Do you not know our National Debt was announced last week as being 90 trillion dollars??
Do you not believe our economy, education system, medical care are broken??
Do you actually believe a Bush supporter will not give us another four years of
destroying our country??
Our country is broke. We owe our souls to China, etc. Continuation of this war will
bankrupt us, if it already hasn’t, and continue to take the lives of our outstanding fighting men and
women. An unjustified, unfinanced, mismanaged diaster.
How can you continue to support what our government has done to us???

JCee,
About your post on the not allowing old democratic representative. Its an important point but irrelevant. For the position of POTUS is far more important than being a senator or a congressman.
But I do agree in general, that people who are too old, should not be allowed in important government positions. There is a good valid reasons why we dont allow people less than 35 years are not allowed to be POTUS. By same token, there are perhaps many more reasons why people really old people should not become POTUS.
We dont want a person who is a few feet from his grave to be the president of USA.
Sorry about that everyone. What I meant to say was I believe the national debt is at 9 trillion and as the democrats control the house and senate we probably would be better suited to elect McCain and enough republicans to take over control of both those houses so we can clear this debt.
McCain, who is a warmonger, who does not and cannot understand economics, who is a few feet from his grave is UNELCETABLE.
Vote for optimism, vote for a new age, vote for peace, vote for youth, vote against war mongers, vote for intelligence, vote for a professor of constitutional law, VOTE OBAMA.
Hussein obama always claims he can “bring people together”…
Looks like he’s saying he can be brought togther with scumbags like Rezko, Wright, Louis Farrakkan..
JSMITH,
I’d hardly call McCain a warmonger and believe his experience in the military and as a POW gives him far more credibility for the position of Commander and Chief then either of the democrats.

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!!
JSMITH,
As for McCains age, I don’t feel it limits him in any way except for the possible photo op with him jogging with the secret service.
Whatever happened to with age comes wisdom? If you were owned a company would you hire a CEO with no experience to run your company?
Under last democratic adminstration we had a budgetary surplus.
Today we have a mountain of debt, which our children have to pay.
We also have a war that is unwinnable, fought on the flimsiest grounds by warmonger. A war that cost us 10 billion dollars a month. A war that is funded by borrowing from chinese (who buy our treasure bonds to find our fiscal deficit). A war that hurts our image abroad and gives more debt to our children.
A war that was waged, by imbeciles, who didnt have a single fiber of judgement in their personality. A war that has made us fight like Don Quixote every windmill which has a muslim name. Shame on those who supported this war.
Vote out the Republicans and say no their Orwellian spin machines.
Vote for change. Vote Obama.
In my opinion, John McCain is by far the candidate with the most experience and best qualified for the position of President. It really isn’t even close and yes Truth-Be-Known, with age comes wisdom.
