McCain does not impress me as the type. Instead Boring comes to mind as opposed to controversal. The swift boat campaigns were not run by bush. There was also a lot of truth to the swift boat commercials. John Kerry was a terrible officer who did have daddys that put him in for medals his CO refused to submit him for. Part of the problem with Vietnam was you had the rich elite in the officer core who were sent their to enhance their future careers. Kerry was one eagerly gobbling up medals for any and all minor cuts and minor skirmishes.
Here's a perfect example of disrepecting a Democratic veteran by the chicken hawk warmongering republican cheerleading GOP smear machine of George Bush and Carl Rove.
A series of interviews and a review of documents show a web of connections and the swift boat liars exposed to the Bush family, high-profile Texas political figures and President Bush's chief political aide, Karl Rove.
Records show that the group received the bulk of its initial financing from two men with ties to the president and his family - one a longtime political associate of Mr. Rove.
The question someone not in love with Obamas hype might then ask is why Hillary with all her negatives collected much more of the popular vote if Obama really is the energizer you claim he is. Think about it here is Obama good looking with all that natural charm and the wicked witch kicked his ass on the popular vote.
Another false prophet rolling off the tip of your tongue.18 million votes a piece, give or take a few.......and thats with 2 major states with voting flaws you can't just count by estimating. Some ass kicking.
Will racism now be the defense of Reverend Wright? Can you defend Obama without invoking the ultimate cop-out? Obama promises to change washington. Yet he passively sat there for twenty years and listened to reverend wright. Passive leaders do not change DC.
As much as you have Rev Wright on the brain (must be a racial thing), can you prove by Barack's political career that he mixes politics and religion like those of the right wing and the evangelical movement.
Realistically the chances are very good that they will lose. There is still a large part of this country that will not vote a black man into office. There is also a large group that feel that McCain with his experience is a safe bet while Obama brings a lot of risks. McCain is liberal enough that he will attract a lot of crossover votes who do not like Obama for various reasons. Obamas challenge at this point is not to celebrate his campaign hype but to figure out why so many more democrats voted for the wicked witch.
Realistically, I agree, the midwest, southern,@ Appalachian rednecks can't punch that ballot for a black man, eventhough a democrat would serve their purpose more friendly. However, if the primary is any indication, the votes cast and the money raise by the Democrats dwarfs that of the Republic
Try to focus on this point. Its one Obama will have to answer if the wicked witch conceeds.
What did he do in congress while he has been there? Passed three very minor bills that had more to do with Africa then the US.
Its not experience here that I am concerned about its that he sat in congress as if he was sitting in his church listening to the crazy reverend.
Obamas trying to act like he just came from hibernation to cure washington when he has been in washington all this time doing nothing.
This is why you have 16,ooo post, you keep repeating accusations that have already been addressed.

If you're referring to conservatives in general with that comment then thats fine. When you add the pronoun you to the inference of a racist mindset then I have a problem with it.
What's the matter Tieguy, is the UPS Discussions Catergory real slow that you have to nik pik here in current affairs. Theirs nothing racist about that comment execpt your O'riely spin on the issues.
You're willing to accept their testimoney when it trashes McCain but denounced it when they told you how Kerry really was?
The Kerry accusers were traced back to the GOP Smear machine and Carl Rove. The same Campaign smearers that photo opt'ed Dukakis with the oversized helmet sitting in a tank, designed to make him look like a dork and un-presidential. The McCain accusers were people with nothing to gain except infomation on their loved ones. And the Senators who gave testimony against McCain were republicans as well. In other words, no conflict in interest gives it more believeability.
According to you americans need to know what McCain did while a POW but we are not allowed to ask what Hussien did while sitting in that church pew for twenty years. We are not allowed to question Hussiens thought process when he appointed Wright head of his personal religious council.
That's BS, Barack and the Rev have been chewed on and swallowed like a dog's raw-hide snack and then regurgitated up only to be chew up again.
Besides, MLK preached alot of the same rhetoric as Rev Wright and look where that got him... A bullet in the head and a nat'l Holiday.
McCain survived a very trying ordeal in vietnam. He deserves respect and respect only. Its a sleazy move on your part to even try to question his heroic survival under these conditions.
This is so repetative that your boring me......The man is running for the most high profile job in the world, has flip-flopped on issues, has memory reference problems and has anger issues and we can't question him ? Are you enforcing martial law Tieguy?
I'm not a big fan of McCain for president but how dare you question what the man did in vietnam
How dare you smear Sen John Kerry with proven false intel finnacially tied to the white house.
Sorry !
