Put McCain Out To Pasture-it is time...past time...
There's a lot of other issues that I, we'd like to (inaudible), but I'd just wanted to say again because our veterans are here, that I'm happy to tell you that elections in Iraq went okay. Look, democracy is a hard thing, but it was a contested election and there's no other country in the Middle East besides Israel where there's a contested election. And the most importantly than that, now for three months, there has not been a single American service member killed or wounded in Iraq.

In the three months prior to McCain's statement, twelve U.S. service members were killed in Iraq and at least 89 were wounded.

1. While Obama is pulling out troops
and McCain wanted to stay there forever.

Can he ever get his story straight?

2. Gramps has been showing early signs of senile dementia for some time
so no, he's not going to get his story straight, nor is he going to be able to maintain any consistent policy position, nor is he going to be able to recall how he voted on any issue.

Still, I hope he squeaks past the utterly repellent and corrupt JD Hayworth in the primary.

3. "...democracy is a hard thing..."
If that's true, why in the hell did you make such a cynical move as to put an unqualified and unbalanced woman within inches of the Presidency, just to energize the most moronic segment of American voters?

Asshole.

6. If you want old crinkly
to lose, you need to listen to good 'ole JD talk before making that decision I think.

8. Meh...
a 'no' vote is a 'no' vote, whether it comes from Hayworth or McCain. At least Hayworth doesn't try to hide being an asshat. I never know from one day to the next what McCain will do. He seems quite unstable to me. And besides, McCain is the one that brought us the ultimate teabagger - half-governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin. AND he does seem to still be quite comfortable having her speak for him.

12. I must admit
The big Arizona rally has evened up the score for me. Thanks for your insight.

7. I actually think because of this and the Tea Parties and everything - we're going to see big wins
in November.

Really the non-Dems are just unhinged, uneducated...I mean these people can't even form a sentence about what they don't agree with. All it is is "I'm better than you, love our country, Iraq is great, Obama bad socialist." and we already rejected that meme in 2008 by voting Obama into office.

10. So long as it's in favour of a Democrat and not a fascist.
I read that he was being challenged from the right.
