McCain: Democrats Don't Care About Members of the Military

<snip>

'I'd Rather Lose a Campaign Than Lose a War'

The most potentially significant roadblock in the Senator's path to the White House is Iraq.

Although he criticized the way the war was prosecuted in the early days, now, with a new general and the influx of U.S. troops, McCain claims progress is being made in Baghdad and Anbar Province. Defiant in his support for the war, McCain repeated the phrase "I'd rather lose a campaign than lose a war" in almost every event and speech.

McCain angrily ripped into the House bill passed last week that set a timeline for withdrawal, calling it the "most shameful that I have seen in the 24 years I have been in Congress," and describing Democrats as "more interested in guided tours of the Capitol building than caring for American military men and women that are on their tours overseas."

1. Two words: Walter Reed. Who doesn't care, Weathervane McCain? nt

2. YOU ASSHOLE!

YOU are the one that doesn't care!

3. the "straight talk express" will literally say anything. Anything.

[saltpoint]

4. The Straight Talk Express is now running local, sounds like.

Local and lost.

McCain is cooked. his numbers are way down, his voice is no longer pertinent and resonant, and he's losing donors to morons like Romney and Giuliani.

Even without their competition, he'd make a terrible president.

5. John...how does it feel...

to completely sell your soul to the very people who smeared you and knocked you out of contention in the 2000 election? How does it feel to know you have left all respectability behind in pursuit of the highest office in the land?

You sanctimonious douchebag...of all of the candidates, you have actually served in the military, and I would expect you to realize the true lunacy of what is going on...

6. McLame knows that he will not garner the nomination.

Expect more loser talk from him.

12. Not only did they smear him, but they smeared his family too

I.e. - wife is crazy, he fathered a "black baby", etc. This makes him selling his soul to them that much worse IMHO.

7. Whoa--bad move there, Grandpa. Your big advantage used to be

your appeal to Dems. That's your only hope anymore. The GOPers don't believe you're a real conservative. How many potential voters can you alienate?

8. How much care did he show when he did the NVA's bidding

He signed papers and made recordings of whatever the NVA wished him to. He is not the person to be talking about the troops well being...The swift boat fellows made the statement during the SC Primary that McCain was the only POW to gain weight while over there...

9. He's close

Democrats don't care about John "I can't believe I've fucked up my campaign this badly already" McCain.

10. No wonder he can't raise much money.

Nobody wants to vote for another bushie.

11. I'd like to see a race between weathervane McCain and Gen. Clark and see him repeat such a thing

actually any of our candidates could easily refute this.
