McCain = More of the Same.
Perpetual tax cuts for high end incomes won't stimulate the economy. They're *already in place* dumbo, and our economy is in the tank.

Perpetual war in Iraq won't *win* anything. Sectarian violence, civilian casualties and American deaths will only continue.

Perpetual, public stand off with Iran won't solve shit. Ahmadenijad is a figure head. Iran is *not* USSR of the Cold War.

Perpetual politicization of American military is counter productive. Foreign political policy is *not* the military's first priority.

Say what you will Sen. McCain, but the country can't afford any more of the same.

1. I wonder when he's going to realize that the GOP has set
him up as the fall guy for the '08 elections. No crime is complete without a patsy.

3. sad
I agree with everything that you have stated. BUT...The media does not see things your way, and I have noticed that they will do ANYTHING to destroy Hillary, and Obama. They will also do ANYTHING
to get McCain into office. But the really sad thing is that most of the American people buy what the media tells them. They fall for it, hook,line, and sinker....Once the media started treating McCain
like a viable, and serious candidate, I knew the fix was in. McCain is an empty shell of a human, but he is their empty shell, and he will serve their purpose. What kinda ratings do you think the media will pull in once the bombs start dropping in Iran????? MILLIONS!!!!!!!!!

4. The media loves McCain
Counterspin did a report last week on the fact that reporters love McCain and will not ask the tough questions. He will get a pass from the media and Obama/Clinton will not be able to catch a break.

5. I don't think it's as bad as you feel it may be. The media looks for a hot story,
whether it's a plane crash, car chase or a political race. That's their forte. Their bread and butter.

Putting the sound bites on McCain from our end will only do us good.
