Did you all see McQueeg's latest lunatic rantings?
McCain says al Qaeda might try to tip U.S. election

SPRINGFIELD, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain said on Friday he fears that al Qaeda or another extremist group might attempt spectacular attacks in Iraq to try to tilt the U.S. election against him.

McCain, at a town hall meeting in this Philadelphia suburb, was asked if he had concerns that anti-American militants in Iraq might ratchet up their activities in Iraq to try to increase casualties in September or October and tip the November election against him.

"Yes, I worry about it," McCain said. "And I know they pay attention because of the intercepts we have of their communications ... The hardest thing in warfare is to counter someone or a group of individuals who are willing to take their own lives in order to take others."

At his campaign event and subsequent news conference, McCain also criticized U.S. Senate Republicans for not joining him and 28 other senators in a one-year moratorium on controversial spending projects, known as earmarks that benefit specific cities or towns and that McCain considers wasteful.

He's just like Bush except crazier, that quite an accomplishment.

2. Does anyone else wonder
Why we always have intercepts of their communications that tell the Republican politicians what the terrorists are up to, but somehow can't bring them to justice?

It's like when they say they've picked up increased "chatter". Either communications say something or they don't -- WTF is "chatter"?

Sure makes me feel like they're just yanking my strings...

4. Hillary supporters to try and fill GDP with Obama = al Qaeda
Post in 3.....2.....1...

This kind of attack is one of Hillary's favorites


To quote Hillary Clinton:“I don’t think it was by accident that Al Qaeda decided to test the new prime minister,” she said. “They watch our elections as closely as we do, maybe more closely than some of our fellows citizens do…. Let’s not forget you’re hiring a president not just to do what a candidate says during the election, you want a president to be there when the chips are down.”
