Say Cheese! But Watch for the Applesauce.

The Media hasn't defined McCain as a fumbler and bumbler. He's done that all by himself. His open mouth, insert foot, approoach is all he has to offer. He's the complete G OLD P mouth-breather. He couldn't muster an extemporaneous remark if his life depended on it. So why is he still winning Texas? Are the Texans stupid? No, Texas is one of those states that are making strides, not unlike Geogia and North Carolina. Those states are still red but will go to light red this year and to light blue in a few years. As soon as the DNC increases their focus on gaining seats in these last few Republican holdouts the G OLD P will disappear. .

McCain on ABC with George, Obama on NBC with Tom. This tells the story for anyone who can read the transcripts. McCain minus the surge equals zero. But the surge is done--history--, and the futiure issue for Iraq is peace, stability, and the timing and conditionality of withdrawal of U.S. troops. Which makes flip flops on taxes, social security--that disgrace!--, opposition to affirmative action, adoption of children by gay parents, opposition to Roe v. Wade, and support for torture, warrantleess surveillance, more subsidies to oil companies and nuclear power, eliminating employer paid health care benefits and letting American corporations pay less tax than ever, more difficult to swallow, even if you are Monica on your needs before former President Bill. Now we have a choice: an articulate,, thoughtful man on politics and policies at home and abroad, and an older man at the end of his career, whose appeal comes downn to two things: I was a :POW and the other guy wasn't; and I'm the reliable white guy. Just trust me, and don't ask questions. Not this time. We need the future, not the past, or we will lose both.

The last thing McCain needs is more media coverage. Everytime he speaks, he fouls up. If he can't even deliver prepared lines, what chance would he have in a debate. That's the reason his campaign wants Town Hall type meetings. Each candidate would have equal cheering sections. In a normal debate, McCain would have to deal with new questions and follow up questions and with rebuttal comments. No way, no how, could he deal with that. He is the poster boy for the G OLD P, just a bunch of hateful, mouth-breathing, out of touch Republicans. Their future, thank goodness, is bleak. The G OLD P is well on the path to achieving third party status. It's way past due.

On the Surge
The success of the surge......began before the surge....... In other words is isn't from what John MCain said by the American Troops, before the troops was there the surge already been going on many months much earlier in IraQ. John McCain it seems doesnt know the difference with regards the Sunni and Shiite.

One of the top commanders in Iraq indicated it was not the surge per se and that it was the political compromises and agreements among the Iraqis. The fact that the "Sunni Awakening" or "Anbar Awakening" switched them from supporting Al Qaeda to fighting them began BEFORE the surge (contrary to McCain's false claims) also backs this up.

And the big one of course, the Sunnis ended their boycott of the Malaki govt. and have now teamed up with the Shiite in governing. Very little of this was achieved militarily as McCain and Bush would have you believe.

Just to be clear: Obama visited wounded troops

I can't stress this point enough: during the portion of his trip that was official Senate business -- the portion in Iraq and Afghanistan and Kuwait -- Barack Obama visited with wounded troops, and he did so without any fanfare.

Nonetheless, John McCain is criticizing Barack Obama for not seeing wounded troops at Landstuhl, even though during McCain's most recent Europe trip, he didn't visit them either, despite being just a short drive away.

The funny part is that McCain' trip to Europe was official Senate business, funded by taxpayers. Barack Obama' trip was under political, not as Official Senator Visit??? as Government Employee and his trip was funded by the campaign therefore not ALLOWED . Now, I would never suggest in a million years that John McCain whose several decades of service I can deeply honor he doesn't care about the troops. But it's simply remarkable that he sees fit to make such an attack on Barack Obama.

John McCain is a dedicated impulsive hard-core gambler who enjoys few things more than a 14 hour session at the craps table, he more than capable of SELLING COUNTRY SOULS to recover his personal Loses

It's true. When you get right down to it McCain was a war prisoner-hero because he zigged when he should have zagged. If the previous person is correct and McCain did finish 894th out of 899, I think that's something that more people should know... But, not to worry - McCain isn't going to be President and Obama will surround himself with knowledgeable people in foreign policy, economics, the environment etc.
Inexperienced or not (which is a cheap argument) Obama will receive counsel from the brightest people in the country. AND when he appoints someone at least we'll know they won't be partisan Republican crooks!

McCain graduated from the US Naval Academy 894th in a class of 899. He wrecked five jets before they finally got rid of him. Obviously he is not the brightest bulb on the tree. He was shot down by an out-of-date Soviet missile by men with no experience in anti-aircraft warfare because he did not follow the rules of evasion taught in flight school. Let's just say the man has only one oar in the water.

He disses two out of every five people on the face of the earth by referring to all Asians as ???Gooks.??? He said: ???I hate Gooks and always will.??? He may be viewed as a ???hero,??? but I don???t think being shot down qualifies him for the job of president. And I don???t think he???ll do much for American - Asian relations should America scrue up and elect this clown.

Padre Pio, was a very holy man and a great mystic. Every time I think I???ve read about every book I written on the man come across another one. In this particular book on him which I was looking at recently, there was a person who told a story about going to him for confession. He told about Padre Pio becoming very angry at him for voting for a socialist. Later he went back to him for confession and told him that this time he did not vote for the socialist but he couldn't bring himself to vote for other candidate either, Again Padre Pio became very angry at him
and would not grant himabsolution From this we have to conclude
that Padre Pio considered it a sin for someone to vote for a socialist and also to opt for not voting
at all either. Another story I read about him in another book was when he went up
to a person he didn't know and had never met and confronted him about being
a communist. In other words, to Padre Pio, a person???s salvation was not exclusionary from
one???s political considerations and what political party you belonged to or voted for (if the moral positions of such contradicted Christian teaching) could put your soul in jeopardy. And what about being an accessory to another???s sin? If a politician has made clear his pro-abortion position and I vote for him and once he gets into office he carries through with his philosophy am I not guilty of aiding and abetting?

(The name of the book from which I got the Padre Pio story was "Stories of Padre Pio" by Katharina Tangari published by TAN books,Rockford Illinois translated from the Italian "Il Messaggio di Padre Pio". Madame Tagari knw Padre Pio for many, many years and was a "spiritual daughter" of him

Obama???s voting record on abortion legislation gives every indication that as president he would support the Supreme Court???s decisions that have made the procedure legal in most cases. Last August he voted against a proposal to codify a Bush administration policy that gives states the option of providing medical insurance to unborn children under the State Children's Health Insurance program. He also voted ???no??? on a 2006 bill to prohibit the transportation of a minor girl across state lines to obtain an abortion, if this would circumvent parental consent or notification laws in her home state.

We will have to ANWER TO GOD for our decisions people.

McCain is losing 39% to Obama's 50% in WI is really catching up there. What a stupid article. I'm not surprised that one of the writers --Holly Bailey -- would craft such a pro-McCain excuse fest. Here's some video of her drunkedly swinging in a tire at McCain's Sedona ranch:

http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/03/10/sedona/

Yeah, that's objective reporting. By the way, why did Ms. Bailey forget to mention the fact that McCain's disasterous CBS performance -- where he screwed up (again) and Couric's editors covered for him.

Guess if you just give Newsweek some access on your "straight talk" bus, chardonnay, BBQ, and a tire swing, you can have them eating out of your hands. Pathetic.

"McCain's campaign has fought to gain its footing and to find a consistent message that defines why he should be elected."

McCain cannot gain footing on a platform that keeps moving, It was only a few months ago both Bush and McCain made fun of Obama's claim that we would be out of Iraq in a short time, calling it irresponsible.
Now it seems not only possible but probable, and Bush pulled the carpet out from under McCain with the withdrawal time "horizon" causing him to play catch up.

But what strikes me is Obama is held to a much higher standard, Had he created a Pakistan/Iraq border or confused Shih with Shiite or any of the other gaff's McCain has made his chances of becoming president would be nil, he would have been crucified for them.

For McCain these remarks seem to be taken in stride and have little effect on the polls.

The good news is Obama clearly is capable of handling the difference in bar height. And that says a lot.

good article
