Swiftboating, HuffyPot Style

This is a pretty stupid move. Lots of potential to backfire. People didn’t like Kerry personally, so it was easy to trash him. It’s a different story with McCain.

This will backfire big time. John McCain’s service to our country is not and should not be an issue. I don’t care if he didn’t know his left from his right while flying…he was held captive for 5 years and survived.

THIS WILL BACKFIRE…keep it up Obamabots!

McCain’s sense of entitlement to privileged treatment bears an eerie resemblance to George W. Bush’s.

The genius of McCain’s mythmaking is his perceived humility amid perpetual defiance. Having been a rebel without cause, and often a rebel without consequences, McCain apparently was not surprised when his Vietnamese captors went relatively easy on him compared to his fellow POWs.

OMG–that is despicable! You know what kind of “special treatment” they gave McCain in his hellhole prison cell? They beat him daily BECAUSE his father was an Admiral. I guess breaking his arms repeatedly to get him to talk was also part of the “cushy” treatment he received at the hands of his captors. I am thoroughly disgusted.

I am like others who have blogged: I started out willing to listen to Obambi. I was immediately struck by his lack of experience, knowledge and palpable arrogance. The race-baiting, hypocrisy, sexism and weakness of character, not to mention the DNC manipulation made it impossible for me to support him. Now, as each day passes, his surrogates tactics have become so repugnant that I am more inclined to consider a vote for McCain. I have never vote for a Republican in my life.

And what, exactly, are Obama’s “superior” military credentials that they can even begin to criticize McCain’s? I bet Klein has never left his office chair.

The lesson that seems to have not been learned is that McCain will defend his record whereas Kerry allowed the slur to go unanswered believing he was “above” it.

McCain declined to be released when the offer was made. The enemy hoped to gain an advantage because of his father’s position. These are facts without dispute. No one should push the swifties too quickly. They clearly are better funded, have much more material with which to work, and are more experienced at it …. I say, let the games begin!

They acted, to my shock, more Republican than Republicans against Hillary.

Am I surprised they are behaving this way toward McCain?

Absolutely not.

Zebras don’t change their stripes.

This is a nasty bunch, this so-called Progressives.

I want nothing to do with them.

At least Mccain requires swiftboating. Obama does it to himself.

Barack Obama aide: Why Winnie the Pooh should shape US foreign policy

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/barackobama/2139573/Barack-Obama-aide-Why-Winnie-the-Pooh-should-shape-US-foreign-policy.html

You can’t expect good judgment from Democrats who thought it was brilliant strategy to call their fellow Democrats racists.

This is so despicable! All I can say is get a copy of McCain’s book and read what he went through in prison. After I did, every time I see him I have so much admiration. You may not agree with all of his positions, but he loves this country. People who write this garbage aren’t fit to wipe his boots.

McCain should demand all the missing information about Obama like his medical records, copy of his original birth certificate, proof that he registered for civil service, copy of his old passports and Illinois State Senate records.
I think this will backfire especially since McCain has fellow POWs stumping for him.

McCain was such a lightweight that when offered the chance to be released early from captivity, he refused the offer unless those held captive longer than himself were released. I’d be willing to bet that if Obama were given the same choice under the same circumstances, he would have accepted in a heartbeat. Those who have also called McCain a traitor for reading statements while a POW have probably not been tortured like McCain and his fellow captives were. It is my fervent wish that all of these armchair soldiers find themselves on the front lines of Iraq or Afghanistan (as long as it doesn’t put real soldiers in jeopardy).

Read his military biography, and see what a real hero looks like. It sure doesn’t look like Obama!

What does this have to do with Obama or his campaign? Jeffrey Klein is a writer not affiliated with Obama in any way.

Just like Super Hillary Boosters Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Anne Coulter are not associated with Clinton.

“McCain’s sense of entitlement to privileged treatment bears an eerie resemblance to George W. Bush’s.”
Gee, I thought this quote bears an eerie similarity to the treatment HRC got.
If not Clinton, then McCain in 08.

Reads like he an anti-McCain hack.

He caved on the torture issue after being tortured himself. Of course, I honor his service, but I no longer honor him as a “maverick.” What a crock. He flip-flops more than anyone ever has.

I got this from a friend who was at the dinner. Now top this Bambi:

April 30, 2008;

It came to me while I was having dinner with Doris Day. No, not that Doris Day. The Doris Day who is married to Col. Bud Day, Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, fighter pilot, Vietnam POW and roommate of John McCain at the Hanoi Hilton.

As we ate near the Days’ home in Florida recently, I heard things about Sen. McCain that were deeply moving and politically troubling. Moving because they told me things about him the American people need to know. And troubling because it is clear that Mr. McCain is one of the most private individuals to run for president in history.

When it comes to choosing a president, the American people want to know more about a candidate than policy positions. They want to know about character, the values ingrained in his heart. For Mr. McCain, that means they will want to know more about him personally than he has been willing to reveal.

Mr. Day relayed to me one of the stories Americans should hear. It involves what happened to him after escaping from a North Vietnamese prison during the war. When he was recaptured, a Vietnamese captor broke his arm and said, “I told you I would make you a cripple.”

The break was designed to shatter Mr. Day’s will. He had survived in prison on the hope that one day he would return to the United States and be able to fly again. To kill that hope, the Vietnamese left part of a bone sticking out of his arm, and put him in a misshapen cast. This was done so that the arm would heal at “a goofy angle,” as Mr. Day explained. Had it done so, he never would have flown again.

But it didn’t heal that way because of John McCain. Risking severe punishment, Messrs. McCain and Day collected pieces of bamboo in the prison courtyard to use as a splint. Mr. McCain put Mr. Day on the floor of their cell and, using his foot, jerked the broken bone into place. Then, using strips from the bandage on his own wounded leg and the bamboo, he put Mr. Day’s splint in place.

Years later, Air Force surgeons examined Mr. Day and complemented the treatment he’d gotten from his captors. Mr. Day corrected them. It was Dr. McCain who deserved the credit. Mr. Day went on to fly again.

Another story I heard over dinner with the Days involved Mr. McCain serving as one of the three chaplains for his fellow prisoners. At one point, after being shuttled among different prisons, Mr. Day had found himself as the most senior officer at the Hanoi Hilton. So he tapped Mr. McCain to help administer religious services to the other prisoners.

Today, Mr. Day, a very active 83, still vividly recalls Mr. McCain’s sermons. “He remembered the Episcopal liturgy,” Mr. Day says, “and sounded like a bona fide preacher.” One of Mr. McCain’s first sermons took as its text Luke 20:25 and Matthew 22:21, “render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and unto God what is God’s.” Mr. McCain said he and his fellow prisoners shouldn’t ask God to free them, but to help them become the best people they could be while serving as POWs. It was Caesar who put them in prison and Caesar who would get them out. Their task was to act with honor.

Another McCain story, somewhat better known, is about the Vietnamese practice of torturing him by tying his head between his ankles with his arms behind him, and then leaving him for hours. The torture so badly busted up his shoulders that to this day Mr. McCain can’t raise his arms over his head.

One night, a Vietnamese guard loosened his bonds, returning at the end of his watch to tighten them again so no one would notice. Shortly after, on Christmas Day, the same guard stood beside Mr. McCain in the prison yard and drew a cross in the sand before erasing it. Mr. McCain later said that when he returned to Vietnam for the first time after the war, the only person he really wanted to meet was that guard.

Mr. Day recalls with pride Mr. McCain stubbornly refusing to accept special treatment or curry favor to be released early, even when gravely ill. Mr. McCain knew the Vietnamese wanted the propaganda victory of the son and grandson of Navy admirals accepting special treatment. “He wasn’t corruptible then,” Mr. Day says, “and he’s not corruptible today.”

The stories told to me by the Days involve more than wartime valor.

Absolutely horrifying article. One thing no one can take away from McCain is his military service and he shouldn’t prove anything to these cowardly hemorrhoid-laden armchair critics. No need for a retort from McCain, this kind of thing says it all about the Obamanuts.

The commentary from the Obamabots makes me lose hope for the future of humanity. Klein’s statements are a true reflection of his hero, the bird-flipping, flip-flopping, Reczko-Wright-Ayers befriending Obama.

If this moron only new what it takes to land an aircraft on a carrier.

Good, go ahead: I DARE them to try to ’swiftboat’ McCain when it comes to his military service, etc.

In a way, I was hoping they would be stupid enough to try that. The backlash effect would be huge.

NOBAMA!

Just Say No Deal.
http://www.justsaynodeal.com/

PUMA!

If this moron only knew what it takes to land an aircraft on a carrier.

Fucking unbelievable…sorry for the language but the sheer audacity! These people do not care about anything other than “Obama”! Do they not care anything or hold anything to a higher esteem then this man?

Do they understand the concept of “Country” over “Party affiliation”. NOW there taring down a persons military service? I dont care if he flew bats for a living..unless you have been there and done that and have the ability to even understand when it comes to a persons military service. You should not put down or question something you know nothing of.

The Huff*** Post has just became equivalent to a grocery store tabloid. You would have to be idiotic to attack something you have no idea about. Anyone can sit behind a screen and judge someone. But this, this is just overwhelming. And they wonder why no one is supporting this man.

527 Ads made by this stuff alone will win every large military installation and the surrounding areas that support us. Between this, god** america, and the “first time of my life, I am proud of my country” speech, Senator Obama has lost, period, point blank. NO ONE and I mean NO ONE would ever support a person who has the ability to look down on the job we do when they have not even came close to doing it themselves.

How in Gods name (lord forgive me) can anyone state that a POW “was went easy on” compared to others? What the fuck is wrong with these damn people?! Do they have any clue what it is like to be in a country with the enemy all around you? But to become a POW and have someone try to SMEAR you based on how easy the torture was?

I feel fucking sick to my stomach that the Democratic Party has put us into this situation. Right now the Republican party is looking like salvation. I might not like the policies but I know Mccain loves his country and has a child serving there now. And there is no way in heaven or hell I could ever feel at ease with a person such as this leading our country when deployment is a reality of life for me.

Its one thing to be a paid blogger making bullshit comments on blogs. But its a whole different ball game when the presumptive nominee paid shills write articles such as this as a talking point.

The Democratic Party has stripped away the core values and foundation as we know it. Attempted to silence millions to achieve a goal. Changed the rules to get what they wanted. And are now attempting to take away the honor of someones service to there country to achieve a goal.

There is no limit to what they will attempt and allow, as well as destroy, just to have Senator Obama. For some unknown reason, that scares the shit out of me, a person with the ability to be able to convince others to look down on or even feel remotely comfortable with criticizing or demeaning a former POW is something that should wake the american people up. To be able to convince the masses and find fault with something they have no idea about should send a shock like nothing else.

As of right now, I dont see how the Democratic Party will remain having a majority in anything as these type of articles get more attention. More people need to be aware of this, especially in our military communities because this is just wrong on so many levels.

In there attempt to discredit Senator Mccain by attacking his POW status, is what in my opinion, one of the many things that has contributed to handing the Republicans the elections and the majority.

We may not like the policies but we damn sure love our country, and Senator Obama cannot win. Thank you No Quarter for bringing this to light and as much as it pains me to do so, I have to send this article out to others. If this is an example of how these people think,what we will look forward to, people need to be aware now because we will only get one chance to vote during this election, and once it is over, it cannot be redone.

McCain spent 5 long years as a POW. He still bares the scars of the torture he endured.
It was wrong for Republicans to attack Kerry on his war record. And it is wrong for Democrats to go after McCain on his military service.
Two wrongs don’t make a right.

And on noquarter, you smear Obama with fake tapes and ridiculous claims about how people became citizens when Obama was an infant.

BTW, how do you like the Ohio poll with Obama +11?

http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/06/todays-polls-617.html

Off subject: Moveon is running 2 new ads: one has a women and child, talking about the war, the other a satire on why we should vote republican. They are targeting woman and DEMS who are saying they are voting REP.

The DNC is running scared.

The author of that article is disgusting. The biggest sacrifice the author probably ever made in his life is choosing skim milk instead of regular milk for his latte, and he probably did it for his health and waistline.

Someone needs to tell him people were being sarcastic when they referred to the North Vietnamese prisons as the “Hanoi Hilton” in case he thinks it was some five star hotel.

He got special treatment alright, because of his father, extra beatings and torture. It takes a man of great character to not take advantage of his connection to leave that hell hole a little earlier. He gave a prison guard the finger, Obama gave Senator Clinton the finger.

I am informing everyone I know of this disgusting attack. Each day, these Obamabots do something to alienate us even more.

Attempting to attack McCain on his military record will backfire. What has Obama ever done other than sit in a racist anti-American church for 20 years?

Seems to me that the Obamas think they are entitled to the presidency only because they are black.

For further information about McCain’s character, check out “The Great McCain Story You’ve Probably Forgotten” regarding the relationship between McCain and Democratic Senator Mo Udall. Very revealing portrait at:

Barack Obama aide: Why Winnie the Pooh should shape US foreign policy LOL

Barack Obama would not have lasted 1 year in the Hanoi Hilton, let alone more than five. Obama’s frail, gaunt, phlegmatic constitution — not to mention his incredibly weak psyche which led to substance abuse — is not designed for the stresses of POW treatment and is unsatisfactory for the rigors of the presidency. As Harriet Christian said, he is inadequate.

Beyond this, Obama’s lack of a sense of duty never would have allowed him to put himself in the position McCain was in when he was shot down. McCain had volunteered for extra flights in Vietnam to help out the diminished capabilities of an aircraft carrier which was not his own. If you don’t know the story, see here:

McCain vs Obama: Courage vs Cravenness

John McCain fought so that punk small female canines like Jeffrey Klein could write the garbage which Klein spewed here. McCain gave more than 5 of the best years of his life for Klein and Obama’s malnourished behinds and this is how the two Lazy-Boy lads repay him.

You don’t get more un-American or ungrateful than that. In fact, perhaps we can just start calling Klein “Michelle” in order to properly convey how much of a snot-nosed, sniveling ingrate Klein and his ilk truly are.

Michelle typifies what is wrong with our country today: An American Idol, I-am-a-superstar-but-you-don’t-know-it-yet, entitlement mentality. That a woman who rode affirmative action (admitted by Michelle) to two Ivy League degrees can still be kvetching about ‘our loans’ and demanding of cousin Dick Cheney to “give us something here!” is all you need to know. She, and her husband, are a disgrace.

This is not the attitude which made America great; it is poison. Yet it is so damn ubiquitous these days and Michelle — and her inexperienced, impudent hubby — typify this thought process which has led to America’s precipitous decline around the world.

John McCain sacrificed for his country. He is a hero. He symbolizes the hard work and sacrifice all Americans can be proud of, the standards which they would have their children set and achieve.

Barack Hussein Obama, and Jeffrey Klein, are examples of what happens when a once-proud nation comes to the Nero-fiddling moment in its course. They are the worst, most parasitic elements of our republic.

America has a choice now: Will you help to restore the United States’ preeminence or will you vote for the man who will hasten the burning of Rome, Barack Hussein Obama?

As Spike Effing Lee would say, “Do the right thing.”

You know, now that his wife has decided to throw her 100% support behind Senator Obama, Mr. Clinton must be able to acknowledge certain obvious parallels between himself and Obama. Both were relatively unknown, extremely charasmatic, accused of being unpatriotic and too inexperienced and ran on “hope” and “change” platforms. Both, too, were thoroughly swiftboated and had to contend with multiple, over the top rumors about their character (in Obama’s case, he is a Muslim, Christian AND atheistic communist). There was even a mass exodus of white men from the democratic party because of Mr. Clinton’s perceived deficiencies. Fortunately, however, enough people will see through the bottom feeder politics and character assassination and will vote for Senator Obama because of issues like healthcare, war, education, womens’ choice and the economy, just as they did for Mr. Clinton in 1992.

So let me see if I got this straight:

A guy with no connection whatsoever to the Obama campaign posts something on Huffpo, and suddenly “the Obama campaign” is guilty of salgging McCains service record (and let’s face it, bottom of your class at USNA and three wrecked planes before he even got to Vietnam ain’t exactly lighting the world on fire).

Got it.

Have these fools ever watched an NBA game? It is always the second guy who gets busted. Always. The Republicans did this in 2004. It was dreadful. Now, Obama and his fellow dips are retaliating with the same strategy. Just like in an NBA game they’ll be the ones that get busted. Instead of by a ref who misses the first infraction it will be by the American public who overlooked the first affront. Americans will be rightfully outraged and no amount of but, but, but Bush did it will temper their anger.

This is off topic but for all of you who are sick and tired of people telling you if you don’t vote
for Obama, it will be the end of Roe V Wade….
Take a read here……..http://www.creators.com/opinion/froma-harrop/pro-choice-democrats-and-john-mccain.html

The second aspect for the Obama Supporters who want to discuss things that they know nothing of or about, and you are more than welcome to contact me and I will gladly give you references in which to refer is that we do have training in regards to what information we give out if captured. You will never and I mean NEVER accept release as a leader and leave others behind.

Yes, they do teach us to attempt to escape and if you are the highest ranking you are “in charge” so to speak, and you are trained to only give your name rank and social. Even while captured the rules of engagement applies. So the bottom feeding, good for nothing, worthless individuals who become “blog experts” based on piece of trash articles such as this, you are WORTHLESS!

If you cannot fight and win against Senator Mccain based on the foundation of your campaign, based on the issues, you are in the wrong business. THAT is the reason why that thing called EXPERIENCE applies. The Democratic Party may of thought it was A OKAY to let this play out in the primaries. But it will not work in the General Election.

If the game plan is to smear a persons service record by portraying that the enemy went easy on a former POW. Senator Obama will be lucky to win his own state. These bottom feeders with Chicago style politics think they will make it to Penns Ave based on this shit have another thing coming.

These sorry ass Democratic Party members that are sitting on the sidelines letting this play out need to be unseated from the top to the bottom starting with our worthless excuse of a congress with a lower approval rating than Bush!

They wanted Obama, then they need to prepare for the consequences of there idiotic actions.

Um, Obama has nothing to do with this guy at Huffington Post. In fact, Obama (just like Clinton) has always had respectful things to say about McCain’s honorable service.

You might as well blame Clinton for the “Obama wasn’t actually born in America” smears; it would be just as unfair.

Yeah, they went “easy” on him–they broke his arms so he now has to have someone comb his hair for him, he can’t adjust his own collar, and they broke his teeth to expose the nerves and cause him excruciating pain. They left him without medical care for the broken bones in his leg, they beat him mercilessly. He still limps. He can’t put his arms above his head. His bones never knit properly. Despite that, he still exercises like a champion.

Oh, sure….they went “easy” on him.

McCain wasn’t going to make Flag Officer, because he was too aggressive, too brash and very impolitic. He was also “not happily married” and that is a block you have to check to get to the double scrambled eggs prom.

And he wasn’t the best flier either. But it wouldn’t have mattered if you had Neil Armstrong and the Ghost of Eddie Rickenbacker up there, the guy got SHOT DOWN. He wasn’t engaging in a dogfight.

I can’t believe they’re even going there. It’s pretty fucking SICK. And really, it’s STUPID. I can acknowledge that McCain is stubborn, bullish, stupid about some things, but I will never, ever, question his courage, his endurance, or his dedication to our country. These Obamabastards are incredibly STUPID. When they aren’t jeering at Granholm, they’re pointing and cawing at POW McCain. Way to further alienate the Democratic base.

BACKFIRE? This is going to fling shit all over them.

I never liked it when the Republicans would insult the Democrats by questioning their military patriotism. Here we’ve got a former rightwinger who, after dumping her gay rightwing husband, is posturing as a accented intellectual lefty and playing hostess to those who are hellbent on fulfilling those most EGREGIOUS stereotypes.

News item: Obama behind 12 points in KY, and MN is a tossup (actually, McCain has a narrow advantage when one looks at VP pairings). http://www.surveyusa.com/

this is great that obama people are starting this crap — McCain will have no problem releasing his military records, the fact that he released 10,000 pages of medical records should be a sign to these goons that McCain has nothing to hide. as a veteran it pisses me off to no end that the Obama campaign would even dare to go near McCain’s military service. I think if Obama wants to play with fire, he should be burned so bad he never does it again

once again the “left” adopts GOP tactics, (and it will again backfire because Democratic moderates dont react the way GOP moderates do to these attacks, interestingly enough)

this is like the attack on Max Cleland and it just makes me feel protective of McCain,

betcha many of we disillusioned and disenfranchised Hill supporters will react this way..

In November we’ll Remember!

FLIP FLOP BOOM OBAMA FALLS HARD

Obama has been making speeches for over 18 months that he will withdraw the troops from Iraq and end this war. He made a speech at the 2004 Democratic Convention. He slammed Hillary Clinton for voting with Bush concerning WMD. He campaigned that he was the only person that was credible because of his position from the beginning and he spoke out about this. OK I ask you does any of this ring a bell? Am I right making these statements? Please email me in comments if I am wrong.

Ok sit down turn up the volume on your computer and listen to his
WORDS FROM HIS MOUTH IN THIS VIDEO:
HOW IN THE WORLD CAN ANYONE EXPECT US TO BELIEVE ANYTHING THIS MAN SPEWS FROM HIS LIPS? HE HAS SET A PATTERN OF SAY ONE THING TODAY CHANGE WHAT I JUST SAID YESTERDAY TO WHATEVER WORKS NOW…………HE IS UNBELIVEABLE. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK IN MY COMMENTS PAGE.

Sick bunch…that bunch at Huffy Post…I haven’t been there in weeks maybe months..

McCain ‘08 my2¢

I never have to worry about changing my decision to never vote for Bacrackhead Obullshit.

All i have to do is read the comments by pro obama shitheads and the venom they spew,

whether its the idiots in the comments section

or the failed writers turned failed reporters who do their mental masturbation to their obamamessiahporn on puffingtonpost

to realize the greatest mistake i could ever make

would be to vote in support of that f*ckwad Barry the Bastard.

this piece and the moveon baby ad are both IMHO sickening and a real turn off for moderates and Indies…

they really dont seem to get that most of America doesnt fall for thee rabid and scurrilous attacks on a man they see as a hero and maverick do they?

dont they do polls or sample testing on REAL LIVE AMERICAN GENERAL ELECTORATE VOTERS before they spend millions on these ads??!!

I mean yeah we know the folks left reading HuffyPissyPo daily are mainlining the kool aid, so no biggie there writing to their audience, but as far as taking this theme national for a GE, how do they think Democratic or Indpendent voters both groups of which have respect and admiration for McCain as a hero would react well to this??

Reverand Manning is claiming Obama supporters are threatening to kill him.

I’d like to see this Klein guy chilling in a North Vietnamese prison. Maybe then I’d take his words more seriously.
By the way, where are Obama’s papers? How come it’s a one-way-street when it comes to anything about Obama? –Can’t question his backgrounds, shouldn’t ask for his papers, can’t question his inexperience, can’t question his claims or the bots will cry racism and change the subject to “issues.”

But Huffington Post is a well known pro-Obama site. The balance of the articles are favorable to him and critical of each of his opponents. Both Hillary and McCain.

IMHO you can attack McCain on his domestic policies. You can disagree with his tax and Iraq proposals. No problems there.

But when a person is held captive and tortured for five years and you imply that somehow that means he got special treatment that boggles the mind.

You could apply the same standard, just because someone was tortured and/or held for years it doesn’t count, to the prisoners at Gitmo. But that wouldn’t be the progressive view, now would it?

No matter what pro-Obama idiots say either here, magazine, newspapers, internet, television, we will not let him achieve the presidency of the United States. We will vote out all superdelegates up for re-election by casting our votes for their opponents no matter what party. This is the only way to take back our party and get rid of that thing Obama.

I saw the Obama camp begin with the war record smears on the blogs months ago. One insinuated that McCain was being investigated for having something to do with starting the fire on the Forrestal. Luckily the films of that fire can be seen on the History Channel, and you can see an errant missile fly across the deck and strike a plane awaiting take-off. The plane erupts in flames and out jumps the pilot and runs toward the camera. It’s McCain. So I’m sure he was responsible for starting the fire, then ran to his plane and sat there waiting for tragedy to strike.

God, I hate everything this Obama and his camp stand for. It’s why I will fight with everything I have inside of me to help McCain win in November.

I get happier and happier every day that I left the Democratic Party.

Actually,

McCain was the son and grandson of an admiral.

I don’t imagine every flight cadet at Pensacola NAS got to fly a training plane to watch an Army-Navy football game in Philly, and crash her over NC,on the way home, after running the plane out of fuel. No disciplinary charges whatsoever.

A few cadets at the Naval Academy have fond memories of McCain, and a few POWS in the camps remember him well.

By the time he survived 23 missions over Viet-Nam, he had lost 5 aircraft.

Contrast his career with with that of Vice Admiral James Stockdale.

Some lose 1 plane while flying 200+ combat missions.

Some have an interest and dedication to flying, and some like partying.

Some know how to fly, and some don’t.

Some adapt to torture and POW camps better than others.

Some win the Medal of Honor, and make Vice-Admiral on their own merit.

And some don’t.

Seems to me McCain has as many skeletons in his closet as Bambi. And let’s not forget the Keating Five.

All of this will come out in the fall campaign, I would guess.

Look, just change the name of this blog to No Obama and be done with it.

I thought this blog was devoted to issues of security. Obviously, you’d prefer to have our nation’s security be in the hands of a President who doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground. Jesus, Liebermann’s not going to be around to whisper foreign policy advice all the time.

And it “doesn’t matter” how long we stay in Iraq? Color me not-secured.

And hey Larry, where’s that Michelle Whitey tape? Oh yeah, up your ass.

Good. These fools think they can rewrite history. Sorry kids, McCain’s heroism is legendary. He refused and early release from the Hannoi Hilton and said he would not leave until the last American soldier was freed. This will backfire, big time!

DeadEnder1DoesNotBiteAnyoneAnymore Said like a true dickless weasel of a chickenshit, chickenhawk obamazoid. F*CK you and your punk assed downlow dolly of a candidate obamalamadingdong.He’d shit his PANTS if anyone said BOO to him. In fact he probably shits his pants every time ms. dong says BOO to him. You and his domestic punk assed terrorist flag dancin buddy along with his racist asswipe of a preacher and louey farrakhan can go fuck yourselves

Business Nation/CNBC just did a 15 min spot on Arianna Huffington. A venture cap friend put up 7mil to start up The Post…paid staff of 50…all in all a real glam piece…the clothes…the celeb parties…BIG PROMO. She claims she’s finally close to crankin’ a profit.

Do you know anything about “the fog of war?” It’s not black and white. I’ve met enough Korean and Vietnam vets to know. I’ve even met a vet from WWI.

Let’s say you’re right and McCain did “disobey orders”. He paid for it with five years of captivity and torture. Kind of a high price to pay for such a mistake huh? But for some folks no price is high enough. Hence the bitterness of some surviving veterans. In fact some of them told me that they felt people were sorry they didn’t die.

Military folks are not cardboard cut-out heroes. They’re human like everyone else.

If you’re looking for perfection keep looking. No human being on this planet could live up to that.
That’s one of the reasons I defended John Kerry so forcefully. He did what he could do given the situation he was in. He used his best human judgment. Maybe McCain did the same. I don’t know and unless you were there you don’t either. There were a lot of really well – stupid orders given out during Vietnam according to the vets I’ve met.

Oh, forgot to mention the limos & she usually carries 3 blkberries..fini

The revisionist kids are at it again on Huffypost. Seriously, the change they believe in – are the modifications of history by Obama and his surrogates to suit their needs.

Flufferpost is more like it (sorry if I offended any of the porn industry).

“It’s kind of bizarre reading about supposed “feminists” who are reportedly claiming they’ll vote for McCain rather than Obama, now that “their” candidate, Hillary Clinton, is out of the running for the presidential nomination.

First of all, John McCain is clearly the candidate of the anti-abortion crowd, but that’s not the half of it. He’s also the candidate who says Anthony Scalia, John Roberts and Sam Alito are his kind of judges. We’re talking here about guys (yeah, guys) who think a woman’s place is in the home, and who only recently ruled that if she’s discriminated against on the job, and doesn’t learn about it for a decade or more, a woman can’t do anything about it, because the original offense of underpaying her happened more than 180 days ago. McCain is also the guy who, after his wife suffered a serious car crash and became disabled, dumped her for a younger, richer woman. A feminist’s dream, this guy.”

Obamabots must understand,

YOU REAP WHAT YOU SEW!

Ya’ll come back now, ya hear!

We are making the same mistake that the Republican Party made in 2000 and 2004. This fraudulent election is much, much, bigger than Barack Obama and the Democratic Party. This is part II of the hijacking of the United States government and America itself.

George Bush and Barack Obama are identical. Both are arrogant, inexperienced, simple-minded, egotistical politicians, selected for these very qualities, to acquire the office of the presidency. Bush’s family’s name and Obama’s personality disarmed/disarms their respective parties. Dick Cheney represented the power behind the thrown for Bush while David Alexrod is Obama’s puppet-master.

Real Republicans stood by paralyzed and, in disbelief, as neo-con named agents gutted and reformulated the party, the different branches of government, and the main stream media. This was Part I of seizing control of the largest economy and the mightiest military on earth.

Part II is unfolding before our very eyes this election cycle inside the Democratic Party. If these agents of global dominance succeed again, the American experience will have ended.

This isn’t about race, or class, or party, or gender, or even generational; this is about co-opting our near perfect union for selfish gain.
Are there enough Democrats who will stand up and stop this hijacking of our party?

Even though I am a partisan, just look at the Republican Party and compare it to what it was eight years ago. And, then, listen to long time Republicans who have been marginalized in their own party. Can’t you see the similarities?

If we fall for the obvious traps of race, gender, class, and so forth, instead of recognizing the real threat that’s invading our party, the republic will change into the most toxic Corporatocracy humanly imaginable.

The last days of America: being brought to you by the first Black President and the Democratic Party.

I’ve already read articles/campaign smear that McCain was a traitor and gave critical information to the VietCong. If the Obamatrons go after John McCain’s war record there will be a huge blowback and rightly so. We’re not going to witness a retreat like John Kerry, not wanting to dignify defamatory accusations, backstepping on fighting in his own behalf until the damage was serious and one more strike against his candidancy. It didn’t matter if the accusations were true or not [I thought the stories were garbage, absolute rot].

There was also some sort of rumor about McCain’s responsibility in setting a fire on one of the aircraft carriers. Totally bogus with film footage to back it up.

The Obamatrons have no idea who or what they’re dealing with. I’m sure the Republicans are just waiting in the wings and wringing their hands–bring it on, youngsters. Just bring it on.

Awesome.

This will backfire big time. McCain ain’t Kerry and no one’s going to question his detainment or his service.

I voted for Kerry and still believe he would have been a good President. I hated the Swiftboaters. But let’s face it, Kerry was known as a war protester who threw his medals (not sure if he really did that, but people believed that story.) His patriotism was easily questioned because so few people knew his real story or him all that well.

Everyone knows McCain’s story. This will be spun as an attack on patriotism by the radical left. Huffpost deserves no better!

What makes these IDIOT democrats, if they can’t even see how, and why, these methods failed, and boomeranged, in the long term, for the Republicans, think it will work now, and give them long term favor within the greater government apparatus?

It’s rather obvious to smart people, what happened to the boy bloggerz, what, no abilty to analyze? Who would have guessed?

Dumbest sacks of shit I ever saw, ever.

In the NewYorker, a recent profile of McCain mentioned Karl Rove’s methods wouldn’t be part of the bigger game plan, this year, for Republicans, it was agreed.

Why are the bloggerboyz so STUPID not to question, why?

They’re the only ones in the world, right, and the executive controls everything, right?

Clueless.

Day late, and a dollar short, always.

At the very least, McCain isn’t going out of his way to anger intelligence, a very smart move.

Oh, but the KIDS love rap, so run Slim Shady, right?

(That would have been Bush, couldn’t come up with anything new?)

Stupid democrats.

Look at what I just received from Coward Dean: How about some direction.

I wrote to you in late February asking that you sign on in support of a complaint we made to the Federal Election Commission regarding John McCain.

The complaint was fairly simple. John McCain decided to break a promise he made to the American people — he said that he would accept federal matching funds for his primary campaign, but then backed out of the pledge after he started receiving staggering amounts of lobbyist and special interest money. We asked the FEC to enforce the agreement he had made.

When they didn’t act on our complaint — one that thousands of Americans signed on to support — we sued them. Recently, a federal judge said that we had to give the FEC at least 120 days to act.

Their time runs out in one week, on June 24.

You can put pressure on John McCain to honor his agreement with the FEC by signing your support — we need 100,000 Americans to stand up and demand that he keep the promise that he made the American people. If we’re ever going to have truly clean campaigns, it’s going to take all of us fighting for them.

Maybe I should reply, with a free trade agreement. If Obama produces his original birth certificate not the made up one. I will sign it….

I have one democrat leader in my state trying to sway me to Obama by saying that Mccain was tortured as a prisoner of war and therefore has mental issues and couldn’t handle being in charge of the country and having his finger on the button. I bet this is an angle that Obama will soon use as well. What is funny about this angle is that Obama admittedly did a number of drugs in his youth and there are rumors that he still partakes. Wouldn’t this affect him and lead to mental issues as well? And this (BO’s drug use) is a lot less impressive and legal than Mccain serving his country and being a POW.

I think someone was saying that over at Traitor Ayers blog, Ayers actually believes that McCain was enjoying life during his time in prison at a hotel that provided hookers.

Is the desperate or what!

Who’s more into myth-making than Obama and his DNC thugs?

I am much more interested in what Californians and Floridians will say about Senator McCain’s announced support for offshore drilling. A gravely risky announcement, I think.

to HillarySupportsObamaNow:

Yes, I suppose you would be as swiftboating from BO’s side shows that not only is he a typical politician, but he is as dirty if not more so that George W. Bush.

I wonder sometimes if Brazile and DNC are in competition with the RNC circa 2000 & 2004:

Disenfranchisement – we can do it better

Swiftboating – you betcha, we can do it too

I just want to add this fact of life…

I have been both a democrat and a republican, but I can tell you at no time in my life have I been as DISGUSTED at a political party as I am about the democrats.
I began this year as a defender of the great FDR tradition within the Clinton wing of the party.

The disrespect given to those that built this party over the past 40 years insures that until the current cabal of losers are disgraced and removed I will work tirelessly to see them brought down.

This is not about sour grapes Obamabots.
This is about justice and truth.

Well I live in Palm Beach Florida and switched my party to IND from Dem today, I actually felt sad I was raised Irish Catholic from Philly and I was always proud to be a Dem. It meant to me from a very young age that I was helping Seniors and Children and it was the party for womens rights. But I just could not take anymore disrespect anymore.

I am just wondering in what fashion I should send my Voters card back to the DNC.

Any Ideas
