I'm waiting for someone to ask McCain about Vietnam. I wish someone would ask him, if he were calling the shots, would he have stayed to finish the job.

I can already guess what his answer would be.

Up until about 2 weeks ago, McCain believed any sort of time line or time horizon or whatever retarded thing Bush will come up with next, would send a signal to the terrorists when they can come in and take over Iraq. Not only that, he felt we should remain in Iraq as we have done in Germany and Korea.

Just this past Sunday, he said Obama's 16 month timetable for withdraw seems like a reasonable time line if you take into consideration conditions on the ground.

What the heck is that about?

Seriously. I think he's honestly loosing his bearings or is just flat out lying so people will vote him in and then he'll turn around and not pull out of Iraq.

I sure hope people don't fall for this blundering idiot.

I'm writing another piece on McCains slow but steady morph into Obama. With his shift of Iraq, the administrations shift on Iran which I'm sure he'll slowly find a way to agree with, his shift of focusing in Afghanistan, his recent shift on taxes and his decision to not take increasing taxes off the table, he is slowly trying to bridge the gap in wedge issues that differentiate himself from Obama. He's hoping everyone will ignore his previous position. I don't think people will fall for it.

Anyways, it's almost midnight and I'm pooped but I promise I'll be back tomorrow for more fun.

This was much funnier BTW:

Sad but true.

Krontak did you actually see why McCain voted against so many of those bills? part of it was just the sheer volume of cost to government that wouldn't be offset but the more important reason is that many bills being passed encourage people to get out, not stay in. He's always supported smart bills for vets and active duty that encourage retention and rewarding people who make it a career.

As for McCain attacking Obama on the troops issue, yes it's inexcusable, nothing more to be said. As far as Obama being on so many committees, it's not being on the committees it's what you do when there. Surely if his presence were more than cursory he'd have actual accomplishments and substantive meetings on record.

I'm holding out on Obama's "good judgment" because I haven't seen it at work-- unless you count political panders. Without an actual record to go by all I have is words that he admitted can get "overheated and exaggerated". He dug deep into personal attacks on Hillary and started using sound bites on McCain. As soon as he got the nomination wrapped up, he started reversing some of his more important unequivocally stated positions. FISA, Campaign finance, NAFTA are just a few of the positions he's started a change in tack on.

He's an impressive speaker, I just don't know what he's saying since there is nothing to back it up.

Edit: McCain isn't shifting in to Obama. if you look, you'll see he held many of those positions a long time ago. Most of what he's said this campaign is absolute bullshit, all you are seeing is him returning to who he's been for almost 20 years now by his record.

Given that states still have tremendous leeway in employment laws, business laws, tax policy and social policy, the more important question to ask is what they meant by "states rights". Were it anyone else you could even venture to ask if such losses were really that bad but in this case, the first question is the only important one.
