I am deeply offended by the suggestion that pulling American troops out of Iraq now would diminish their honor or remove it completely. The Republicans say "they must stay and fight and finish the job and then they can come home in honor." This implies that if they are pulled out now they are dishonorable, contemptible. A soldier is honorable because he or she is a soldier. Honor is packed and front-loaded into being a soldier. A person who leaves their family, home, friends to fight for his or her country for 5 minutes or 5 years is ALREADY HONORABLE. To be pulled out of a war does not diminish the honor a soldier posesses. I can't believe the Republicans are suggesting that honor only comes from victory or when the Presidents says it does. Sickening. Disgusting. And I will make it my mission for the next 3 months to ensure McCain/Palin are not voted for. I'm so offended.
And drilling for oil in Alaska and on the Shelf will not produce usable gasoline for 7 to 10 years. And there is an environmental impact. But considering that Reagan once said something like: how many redwoods do you need to see to see redwoods? One is enough.

I think that John McCain is really into celebrities. His vice presidential nominee Sarah Paulin has a 17 year old daughter who is pregnant reminds me of the whole Britney Spears fiasco. Her younger sister getting pregnant and planning to get married and if anyone will recall her mother took alot of heat from that. She was called an unfit mother. Then he even compares OBama to Britney Spears in one of his campaign ads.
