John McCain: Obama Unfit To Protect The United States
John McCain: Obama Unfit To Protect The United States

Remember McCain's respectful campaign? He doesn't.

McCain has all but declared a President Obama would be unfit to defend the United States from -- as he puts it -- the transcendent challenge of our time (or in this case, a second-tier regional power). During a blogger conference call, McCain was asked about Obama's willingness to engage in diplomacy with Iran. He responded:

All I can say is: If Senator Obama wants to sit down across the table from the leader of a country that calls Israel a stinking corpse, and comes to New York and says they're gonna, quote, "wipe Israel off the map," what is it that he wants to talk about? What is it that he wants to talk about with him?

And the belief that somehow communications and positions and willingness to sit down and have serious negotiations need to be done in a face to face fashion as Senator Obama wants to do, which then enhances the prestige of a nation that's a sponsor of terrorists and is directly responsible for the deaths of brave young Americans, I think is an unacceptable position, and shows that Senator Obama does not have the knowledge, the experience, the background to make the kind of judgments that are necessary to preserve this nation's security.


The remarks come after this morning's round of attacks from Bush and McCain against Obama, comparing him to Nazi appeasers in the 1930s.

So, in conclusion, Obama is equal parts Neville Chamberlain and President to Hamas. And John McCain is a respectable maverick.

1. John McCain voted to get us into a war that has strenghten Iran
and made Israel more vunerable. 9/11 happened under Republican watch.

FUCK MCCAIN. THE OLD FART IS TALKING SHIT. HE WILL GO DOWN.

6. you may disagree with McCain's assessment, but personally, I think he deserves more respect than
your comment.


Be the bigger person. This man has sacrificed a great deal because he loves this country.

Like I said, you may disagree with his opinion of Barack, but that doesnt make him a fart smeller.

11. I disagree and particularly when they are attacking our candidate.
No one disrespects McSame's service to the country. I, however, reserve the right to vehemently and colorfully disagree and express my disgust with this barrage of attacks on Obama on national security.

This election will be fought tooth and nail over these issues, and it's usually a good idea to be crystal clear on the money point and that is we are not going to allow them to frame this in any way that has the potential of ending up with the Republicans at the helm again.

I will choose my own words, thank you very much.

4. OK -- Sen. McSame -- three points
One -- Ahmadinejad never said that. It was a faulty translation of what he did say, but has been repeated by the right-wing media ad infinitum.

Two -- When he said it, he was in Asia, which is not even close to New York.

Three -- Time for your meds. And, then off to bed with you.

9. Obama's gonna wipe the floor with this guy.
All this crap about Hillary supporters backing McCain, people won't vote for him because he's African-American, or inexperienced, or his wife or pastor were angry - what a pantload.

McCain is an incompetent candidate, and the GOP is in deep shit. The economy, Iraq, energy, health care, the environment - and George W. Bush.

Obama is going to smoke this clown.

16. So this is how the GE will be. All flags and fear. How could we ever expect anything
different from the yahoos in the GOP. Same as it ever was. I doubt Americans will fall for it again.

26. I see McCain will restore dignity and class to our political process.
He is above the gutter politics that have mired our elections in recent years! Why, he is so gloriously glorious that his shit smells like roses, and he farts marigolds.
Or maybe, just maybe...he was once a decent Republican who sold his soul to Bush to get a shot at the White House and is now everything he used to dislike about Bush in the first place.
