Listen to McCain who has called a presser

[montanacowboy]

"we need more troops?" We need VICTORY! WHAT THE HELL IS IS TALKING ABOUT? We need to increase the numbers in the military????

Is this Stay the Course from another idiot?

[in_cog_ni_to]

1. He looks very ILL...IMCPO.

Does he look a tad pasty to anyone else?

[montanacowboy]

4. There is something wrong with his face

almost like a plastic mask has been inserted over his real face, its bizzare

[NewYorkerfromMass]

21. on kos last night said someone said a "Sleestak"

from that 70's show "Land of the Lost".
Cracked me up- hadn't heard that word in forever.

[americanstranger]

24. My wife said the same thing last night.

Saw him on TV and said 'he looks really bad.'

- as

[onecent]

2. Why doesn't he just go torture someone else...quit stealing our

thunder.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. I thought he promised he'd commit suicide.

That dirty liar.

[acmavm]

5. I would have thought that the asswipe would have the smarts

to pick up on the fact that the people want OUT of Iraq. No in deeper than we already are.

What a dumb bastard.

[w13rd0]

9. I'd settle for getting out of IRAQ...

...I didn't even realize we'd invaded Iran too...

[acmavm]

18. Whew! I was channeling the bush** admin there for a minute.

Corrected my post.

[Cameron27]

6. He's talking as if

he downed a few Xanax. He's pushing for the damned war though, he's shameless.

[AlCzervik]

7. sheesh talk about 0 energy.

[Lerkfish]

8. he actually said its the corruption, not our mishandling of Iraq that

turned voters against them.

gee, and that's better how?

[Lex]

10. He's put all his eggs in one basket: Bush.

And now Americans aren't thrilled with Bush.

McCain's having a very. bad. day.

[Skidmore]

11. And you have McCaffrey on MSNBC at the same time saying

we don't need more troops because we should be out of there in 24- 36 months and we need a plan to help the Iraqis along with political resolution.

[Lexingtonian]

12. he's had stroke personality for a while now

and it never actually gets better, unfortunately

[NewYorkerfromMass]

22. I thought his wife had the stroke?

him too?

[Cameron27]

23. His wife did have a stroke

I don't believe McCain suffers from anything except shameless self promotion.

[Lexingtonian]

26. stroke personality

is more often a result of many tiny strokes in the brain in which small bits of it, uh, lose function. People just get dizzy and mildly sick to their stomach, things like that, from tiny strokes. Some people get the 'personality' after perceptible, fall down and get taken to the ER kinds of strokes, but the many tiny strokes is the more usual route.

[Cameron27]

27. TIA's?

eh, possible.

[TheWraith]

13. He's seeing the end of his career.

With the shameless whoring he's done for Bush on Iraq, unless they pull off some kind of victory there, his political career is at a dead end.

[Roxy66]

14. I really dont like this man.....what an opportunist!

[bullimiami]

15. did the bushugger even read the prewar analysis that concluded

that even with 400,000 troops this sort of chaos was likely?

[radfringe]

16. sounds like Rove has found a new job

as advisor to McCain's presidential campaign

[Javaman]

17. McLame strikes again...

he blathers on about needing more troops, but doesn't say a word as to where they are going to come from.

the mclame train has run it's course. the parroting msm has been squelched. he message sounds as stupid now as it did before the election, only now there is none of his fool sycophants to support him.

[Hubert Flottz]

19. No this is the DRAFT...

They want YOU!

[geniph]

20. John, John, does your word mean nothing?

You said you'd commit suicide if the Dems took control of both houses. Do you need a cup of hemlock? The loan of a shotgun? Are you not a man of your word?

You thought it was a pretty safe "joke" to make when you made it, didn't you? So sorry to burst your bubble.

Oh, and you can forget about your Presidential aspirations, too. So all the pandering, sucking up, and toadying you've been doing for the last six years is totally down the shitter.

Ask the Shrub if you can have your balls back now.

[Wetzelbill]

25. McCain has a very extreme view on Iraq

He thinks we need to expand the size of the military, and add tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of troops into Iraq. He has no plan for it. Nothing based in reality. He does not know where we are going to get them, how it will be done or how it will be paid for. He is purely, and wildly, speculating it will do some good. He says it like he truly believes it could happen. I've listened to the guy a lot on this. Then I started looking at some of his foreign policy positions over time. On Iraq the guy is downright delusional, on everything else he is nearly as bad. Somewhere along the line, probably because of his definitely heroic military history, McCain has been able to fool people into thinking he knows something about foreign policy. He doesn't. Not much anyway. And, he is so radical that in 2000, Bill Kristol endorsed him over Bush.

[NNN0LHI]

28. He was screaming for Clinton to put "boots on the ground" in Kosovo too

After about a week of bombing this nut wanted to send our soldiers in.

He is literally nuts.

Don

[Wetzelbill]

29. heavily militarized

he has an old, old view of the world and foreign policy. I hate saying somebody is nuts, but damn, I seriously wonder about McCain. On Iraq, he sounds completely batshit, it is embarrassing.
