http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/0808/McCain_sez_its_judgment_not_patriotism_hes_questioning.html?showallsorry for linking politico, but this is just such BULLSHIT (as usual, from McCain) that I needed to vent. Yeah, McCain, basically accusing your political rival of treason has absolutely nothing to do with questioning love of ones country. I wish that the Dems were a bit more outspoken on the outrageousness of that claim.

McCain sez it's judgment not patriotism he's questioning
Keeping up a long-distance dispute, John McCain this morning will say it’s not Barack Obama’s patriotism he’s questioning, but his judgment.
“Yesterday, Senator Obama got a little testy on this issue,” McCain is set to say at a town hall in New Mexico. “He said that I am questioning his patriotism. Let me be clear: I am not questioning his patriotism; I am questioning his judgment. Senator Obama has made it clear that he values withdrawal from Iraq above victory in Iraq, even today with victory in sight. Over and over again, he has advocated unconditional withdrawal – regardless of the facts on the ground.”
Speaking at the VFW convention in Florida yesterday, Obama said McCain should acknowledge his patriotism. “I will let no one question my love of this country,” the Democrat said.
