Obama is too racist to be a politician.

Obama said that he would withdraw the troops from Iran if he got elected. Then he said he would withdraw the troops within 18 months if the Chiefs of Staff thought it was doable.

Now he says he would send more troops and equipment to Afghanistan.

Why this flip flop?

I pity our Country, our economy, our Nation if that 'individual' gets elected.

He is a liar, has his own agenda, and would not represent the best interests of our Country.

I think you meant "Iraq", right?

He has ALWAYS said the real war was in Afganistan, and that that should be our focus. McCain said it for the first time this week.

Obama has been consistently smarter and more in tune on foreign policy than McCain, or even Bush. On Iraq, on Pakistan, on Afghanistan, Obama is right, and he GETS IT.

He'll be a great president.

Got evidence? or just jealous? I understand. If I were stuck with a candidate as odious as McSame, I'd be jealous of the Dems and Obama too.

He has always said he would withdraw troops one or two brigades a month, in consultation with the generals, and adjust the pace of deployment as needed in the interests of the troops' safety. He also wants to consult with the Iraqi Government and our commanders to determine the size of force left behind to suppress AQ, protect diplomats and embassies and etc. This would be an isolated force used only for such specific purposes.

He mentioned the residual force in one of the debates, so that's not a change either.

I can prove that McCain is a liar with video of words comming out of his own mouth. What kind of proof can you offer that McCain is a liar?

Hint: Limbaugh the Liar doesn't count.

In a world where i wasn't dead tired, that last sentence would read "What kind of proof can you offer that Obama is a liar?" and "comming would be spelled with one "M'.( I hate summer colds. Can't sleep and can't type.)

He/She doesn't sound jealous but rather informed. Obama's racism is very evident by the company he keeps. There is no evidence that McCain agrees on all of Presidned Bush's policies so your sophmoric "McSame" comment just shows how un-informed you really are.

I can make a statement such as "McCain can be identified as corrupt by the company he keeps". Well, then you would wonder what company, and why it proves he is corrupt. If you then asked, and were criticized because you didn't already know, you would find my statement dubious at best. I find your original comment ignorant and your response laughable.

I can prove that McSame is the same as Bush. Why? Because he said so. On video. Where you can watch his lips say the words.

Will reality make any difference?

McCain : I Totally Agree With Bush On The Transcendent Issues
http://www.youtube.com/watch...

RUSSERT: The fact is you are different than George Bush.

SEN. McCAIN: No. No. The fact is that I have agreed with President Bush far more than I have disagreed. And on the transcendent issues, the most important issues of our day, I've been totally in agreement and support of President Bush.

Here. Listen to McCain and decide for yourself.

Gee, you have no credibity left.

The difference between us is that I only have to tell the truth about your candidate, while you have to make up lies about mine.

That should tell you something about your candidate.

Hartford Courant is often interesting. What is meant by Combined Wires Services, I wonder? Does the Courant editor get info from several (AP and others) and then re-write? or what? does anyone know? I understand there is a very pro-Bush-McCain AP reporter high up in AP office in Washington, DC (name similar to Fournier) who got involved with don-nuts and slanting stories.(Not kidding). A friend of Rove, I think. Don't know how to find the story again -I'll look for it, and I suggest you look too. I'll note source and headline nexttime. Sorry. comment to rtf74. Maybe you do not know we are supposed to go easy on people with "senior moments." ? Summer Rain - get some sleep. if you weaken your case with an insult or two, you might also be losing REM sleep that would help you be more brilliant, and less on the level with your enemies. I know! I wrote what I really thought on a KAAL site, and can't remember whether I hit the Post Comment button or not! That's a warning sign!(this is a friendly comment, I trust you know -- as was my "joke" to ftr74. I don't try to improve the manners of the bad guys. It is helpful when their style and their substance is equally "yukky.")
