Funny thing - you folks just loved him when he was the “liberal” Republican hope. Now that NONE of his views have changed from those held in 2000, but he is for continuing the conflict in Iraq until we are victorious and he is the architect of the troop surge, you radical, anti-American neo-fascists hate him. I’m voting for Thompson if he gets in and Giuliani if he does not. McCain is my last choice. You folks just kill me - any way the wind blows … (Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen, 1976).

The only honest “democrat” in the whole freaking party, at any level throughout the entire country, and they tried to run him off:

{{{Sectarian violence is down in Baghdad. The radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has fled. The Mahdi Army, which terrorized Baghdad last year, appears to be splintering. And the Iraqi government — its spine stiffened thanks to our renewed support — is taking the critical steps for political reconciliation. All of us want to bring our troops home as quickly as possible. But decisions in war should be made by our military commanders based on facts on the battlefield, not by politicians in Washington watching the polls.- Sen. Joe Lieberman is an Independent Democrat from Connecticut.}}}

GEE WHIZ FELLA _ DO YOU JUST MAKE YOUR STUFF UP?

YOU ARE AN EMBARASSMENT TO NEO CONS EVERY WHERE_ JUST CUZ ITS SO EASY TO PROOF HOW NAIVE YOU ARE

McCain went from saying he would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade to saying the exact opposite.

McCain criticized TV preacher Jerry Falwell as “an agent of intolerance” in 2002, but has since decided to cozy up to the man who said Americans “deserved” the 9/11 attacks. (Indeed, McCain has now hired Falwell’s debate coach.)

McCain used to oppose Bush’s tax cuts for the very wealthy, but he reversed course in February.

In 2000, McCain accused Texas businessmen Sam and Charles Wyly of being corrupt, spending “dirty money” to help finance Bush’s presidential campaign. McCain not only filed a complaint against the Wylys for allegedly violating campaign finance law, he also lashed out at them publicly. In April, McCain reached out to the Wylys for support.

McCain supported a major campaign-finance reform measure that bore his name. In June, he abandoned his own legislation.

McCain used to think that Grover Norquist was a crook and a corrupt shill for dictators. Then McCain got serious about running for president and began to reconcile with Norquist.

McCain took a firm line in opposition to torture, and then caved to White House demands.

McCain gave up on his signature policy issue, campaign-finance reform, and won’t back the same provision he sponsored just a couple of years ago.

McCain was against presidential candidates campaigning at Bob Jones University before he was for it.

McCain was anti-ethanol. Now he’s pro-ethanol.

McCain was both for and against state promotion of the Confederate flag.

McCain decided in 2000 that he didn’t want anything to do with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, believing he “would taint the image of the ‘Straight Talk Express.’” Kissinger is now the Honorary Co-Chair for his presidential campaign in New York.

And now McCain has gone from insisting that the war in Iraq would be easy to insisting that he’s always said the war in Iraq would be hard. And yet, you’ll still find most of the political establishment arguing that McCain’s strength as a candidate is his credibility.

IN THE NEWS - Funny - you folks on this blog don’t complain about all of the flip-flops and facile explanations thereof of Edwards, Hitlery Clinton et.al. now running for President. As late as December, 2006, Dingy Harry Reid was saying what a mistake time-tables for withdrawal would be and how we needed more troops in Iraq to do the job. I’m just making the point that it tickles me.

I also think that McCain is a panderer. That is why I opposed him in 2000. However, he does have a spine when it comes to one thing, the defense of this country. There, the folks on your side are all a bunch of jelly-fish.

It looks, Truthsayer,” like you understand what a flip-flop is. McCain flip-flops like a whole creel of fish dumped out on the ground.

If Bush had “backbone” he’d have been meeting with and negotiating with the Congress since January over the course of the US in Iraq. He isn’t doing that, he’s still acting utterly partisan. If Bush were to go to the Congress and negotiate in good faith that would help force both Democrats and Republicans to act responsibly. (That’s what would be best for the country, isn’t it?) Instead he continues to play frat-boy politics. It never worked (beyond helping Bush’s political goals) but today, with the Republicans no longer dominating Congress, it isn’t working, period.

FINALLY SOMEBODY IS STARTING TO THINK>>>

NBC contradicts Bush’s dire troop withdrawal scenario David Edwards Published: Thursday March 29, 2007

“What would happen in Iraq if U.S. troops just got up and left?” asked Matt Lauer in an NBC Today Show report on President Bush’s stated intent to veto a bill sent to him by Congress that would impose a timeline for U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq.

President Bush has warned that a pullout would lead to “diaster,” causing an escalation of the civil war, sparking a broader regional war, and an emboldening of Al Qaeda. But NBC’s report questions those claims.

“The region has become more dangerous because we’ve been there, the longer we stay the more dangerous it will become,” said former National Security Agency direction Lt. Gen. William Odom on the prospect of a heightened civil war.

“I think when you really scrub it, the prospects for outside intervention and a regional war are actually pretty slim,” said William Reidel, who worked in both the Clinton and Bush National Security Council.

As for the prospect of an “emboldened” Al Qaeda, Odom suggested that terrorists now in Iraq are less concerned with transnational terrorist activities than with their domestic conflict. “They’re homegrown Iraqi terrorists who are much more concerned with winning the civil war in Iraq,” said Odom. Added Reidel, “Once you take away the American occupation, Al Qaeda’s gonna find that it has an awful lot of enemies in Iraq, people whom it has walked over in the last few years and who are gonna want revenge.”

I must report a violation of my own “truth in posting” policy:

{{{By LuckoDull March 28, 2007 8:58 AM The candy as-s pinkos, realizing that they will never get their agenda passed through Congress like they promised all their voters before the election, have resorted to spending all their time trying to catch Republicans in these kindergarten level perjury traps, find something completely legal, call it a crime, have your mouthpieces in the lib media feign outrage and trump up the charges, and then hold show trials and kangaroo courts hoping to catch the slightest case of he said, she said and then send the Republican prison. Problem is, the Republicans aren’t near as stupid as the liberals are and have clammed up, which is what any sane person would do. So what we are left with is basically paying for a full time legislature and getting a DNC field office instead, conducting political witch hunts and voter drives on the taxpayer’s dime.}}}

Actually, I have a incidence of inclusion, I forgot to mention that certain “Republicans” will appear before the democrat kangaroo court and will rat out another Conservative in order to save their own skin.

I totally forgot about this tactic.

The democrat goonies presiding over the show trial will become enamored with the “Republican” upon hearing that “Bush Sucks” and will then let the turncoat climb into their mouths where they will be protected from any further harm and will immediately become “heroes” and “patriots.”

Like Sampson for instance.

After the pinko hacks are through soaking all of the anti Bush mileage out of them then they will throw them under the bus, like, uh, McCain.

He’s used up.

Rudy will be groomed for President by the Think Tank gang - Just like our current Fearless Leader was.

In short - We now see the foundations of the same crew - Wolfowitz, Cheney, Rummy, Rove, Bennett, Abrahms, and the Haliburton/PNAC/G8 crowd maintaining the continued control on their holy schedule of world domination. Fear us “Axis of Evil” for we have a new and improved Dubya’ in the works!

Watch and see how many other former PNAC’ members endorse and throw lavish benefits for Rudy -

Joe Biden and new democrat “hero” Chuck Hagel in 2002:

{{{Although no one doubts our forces will prevail over Saddam Hussein’s, key regional leaders confirm what the Foreign Relations Committee emphasized in its Iraq hearings last summer: The most challenging phase will likely be the day after—or, more accurately, the decade after—Saddam Hussein. Once he is gone, expectations are high that coalition forces will remain in large numbers to stabilize Iraq and support a civilian administration. That presence will be necessary for several years, given the vacuum there, which a divided Iraqi opposition will have trouble filling and which some new Iraqi military strongman must not fill… . Americans are largely unprepared for such an undertaking. President Bush must make clear to the American people the scale of the commitment.}}}

As I’ve been saying now for awhile, the war is going wonderfully. The enemy is in its last throes. The President is a genius. Wonderful leader of men. Thoughful. Articulate. Tough as nails. Too bad they wouldn’t let him go to Vietnam as he would have won the war single handedly because he’s such a tough son of a b***.

Liberals hate America. People like me love America and the troops, from afar of course. The Iraqis are greeting us with roses as I sit here and type. The press and the liberals hate America so much that they are bombing Iraqis and our soldiers and filming it so that they can put it on TV so that my countryman, the saps and wimps that are, will lose their nerve. I would be glad to serve myself but I’m a drug addled, disgusting fat body who used my a* cyst to avoid ‘Nam 37 years ago.

The liberals should all be locked up in Guantanamo for war crimes as defined by Bush or Rove or Cheney. In fact, we should install martial law now. Lock up any people against the commander and chief in a time of war and put 70% of the American people in prison so that us true Pro-America Americans can survive the threat our Constitution poses to freedom.

I find it kind of indicative that both on this board and in politics in general Republicans have been reduced to 3 stock answers. As their party, their dreams and their carefully-pedicured image disintegrates, they are down to 3 things:

“I support the troops”. This is trotted out in response to anything dealing with either of the 2 wars, be it conduct, intelligence, planning, strategies, contingencies, abuses, etc. There is nothing that can be asked or criticized about Iraq that won’t elicit this response.

“Clinton did it too”. This in response to basically any and all domestic failings, abuses, scandals etc. Whether Clinton actually did “it” (whatever “it” happens to be at the moment) is irrelevant. This from a party which, for a while, pretended that Clinton was so awful that it would never ever ever do anything that he did.

“Liberal media sucks”. This for all the miscellaneous items which cannot possibly be shoehorned into either of the previous 2. This is for $h!t that is so egregious that even people as dumb as RW or Danish cannot possibly pretend to believe Clinton did, and cannot in any way be tied to the war. For example a Congressman sexually harassing underaged male pages.

BD,

I agree with you and John Gibson believe it or not. No crime was commited until Gonzales lied to congress. That would be perjury. If they were honest from the beginning, there would not be grounds for investigation. Now that there are investigations, the firings are going to be scrutinized. The Carol Lam case comes close to obstruction of justice, but would not have been looked into if they had not lied to congress. Because they did, it is going to get a lot more complicated.

There is neither moral nor legal justification for our presence in Iraq. “Support the Troops” is an overused whine. Listen carefully to Bush. He is programmed.

So will Democrats investigate this? Sen. Dianne Feinstein has resigned from the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee. As previously and extensively reviewed in these pages, Feinstein was chairperson and ranking member of MILCON for six years, during which time she had a conflict of interest due to her husband Richard C. Blum’s ownership of two major defense contractors, who were awarded billions of dollars for military construction projects approved by Feinstein. As MILCON leader, Feinstein relished the details of military construction, even micromanaging one project at the level of its sewer design. She regularly took junkets to military bases around the world to inspect construction projects, some of which were contracted to her husband’s companies, Perini Corp. and URS Corp.

Yeah, will they?

Resign Feinstein!

Congressman John Lewis awarded Pink Badge of Courage from CodePINK Activists

CodePINK: Women for Peace will be presenting Congressman John Lewis a Pink Badge of Courage this Tuesday, April 3rd, at 4:00p.m. in his office in the Equitable Building, 100 Peacetree St NW, Atlanta.

Congressman John Lewis was one of only 8 Progressive Democrats that held out against pressure from both Bush and from moderate Democrats as he voted NO against spending an additional $124 billion to escalate the war against Iraq.

Most voters across the nation are disgusted and enraged with this show of compliance with the war machine on the part of House Democrats. Pelosi and Murtha paved the way for the additional funds to send more troops to Iraq by adding an amendment that proposes to bring half of our troops home by September of 2008.

“This is an outrageous, flagrant flouting of the will of not just the American people, but our soldiers, the Iraq people, and people the world over.” says Zanne Joi, CodePINK activist. “Everyone knows we elected this new Congress to end war, not to buy the war from Bush & the Republicans.”

“We are so proud and deeply grateful that we have a Congressman who always votes the right way, the will of the people” says CodePINK member Libra Royster, “John Lewis has never disappointed us!”
