    I just love these “straight talkers.” Wouldn’t have been nice if Bush had been a “straight talker” to the American people. He would not have been elected and we wouldn’t have this mess in Iraq, the economy would be strong, much need programs would be funded. All these negative things Bush created are the domino effect of the failed Iraq policy. None of our candidates in 2000 mentioned the words “preemptive strikes.” I am all for “straight talking.” I truly appreciate John McCain and his honesty. That way, he will never be elected President. Honest.

    Another Master of War.

    ??? Are you sure you’re telling the truth when you quote Mccain as you did above. Please be careful about criticising someone for misquoting information when you do so yourself. You are doing exactly the same thing you accuse Bush of doing. I’m sure you see a purpose in misstating facts for your own intentions, but so do others … just don’t point out their foibles when you copy them publicly.

    Fred, this looks remarkably like satire, not a direct quote.

    I don’t see any quotes on the image there Fred… It appears to be a representation of what John McCain is all about and seems pretty accurate to me. Just need sometime in there about him being an really old white guy who is afraid of change.

  6. Fooser, on January 29th, 2008 at 10:58 am Said:

    It’s not a direct quote. And he actually did say recently in Florida that there will be “more wars” and more PTSD among other things.

    At least McCain is honest in his war policy.

    I vaguely remember Donny Rumsfield in 2003 saying this war would cost, around, 4 to 5 billion? McCain, I feel, would have been honest in saying, “Yeah, it’ll cost a ton but I think it needs to be done.”

    Fooser,
    I would be VERY CAREFUL about slandering a national figure. If you want to criticize him, at least don’t make up your own quotes.

    I actually do admire and respect McCain’s honesty. He does indeed believe we should stay in Iraq for a “hundred years.” He said it in Derry, N.H. on January 3rd, 2008 at a Town Hall Meeting. That “straight talk” will keep him from becoming President. It is the slippery candidates that concerns me.

    bitterly funny…

    McCain may not be the man for the job but he certainly is a statesman in every sense of the word and a true “political inquirer” would know the difference.

    Typical liberal hogwash.

    Say Hello to President McCain.

    For shame, I used to really love McCain before he went all insane and rambling off about things like this, and how Roe v. Wade should be overturned.

    I truly thought he was a man in the vein of our founding fathers, now I know he is just another face in the crowd.

  14. Lance, on January 29th, 2008 at 1:56 pm Said:

    McCain is no statesman, he is a man of little principle and only seeks attention by appearing to be standing principled.

  15. Mike O, on January 29th, 2008 at 2:10 pm Said:

    Thornhill needs to learn the difference between liberal concerns and libertarian concerns.

    However, I do object to the outlandishness of this post, throwing Jordon and Lebanon and all of the asinine additional comments. McCain does indeed realize the cost of war, my friend; far better than you and I possibly could. Expressing your concern about the tone of his foreign policy positions in this manner makes it hard to take those concerns seriously.

  16. Mike O, on January 29th, 2008 at 2:13 pm Said:

    Anyone who thinks there won’t be more wars is not paying much attention to what’s going on out there in the world. These are definitely times to think ‘Gray’.

  17. Fooser, on January 29th, 2008 at 2:33 pm Said:

    A century in Iraq and acknowledging more American wars are both backed up by his real statements. Jordan is an exaggeration, but I wouldn’t doubt McCain would/has want/ed to go into Lebanon at some point.

    It’s not that I don’t think there will be more wars, as long as there are humans there will be more wars, but the difference is, will there be more wars with America in them? That can’t be justified to me. Taxpayer money is going to this war in which 60-70% disapprove of, and they are paying to hurt our national security not help it. Why is my money going to Iraqi Democracy when we have a cruddy two party system and lots of corruption right here?

    There is a group of idiots who want to harm us, everyone knows that. But as we occupy, soon to be, our third Islamic nation in the past few years, you’re pushing even more moderate people to go into survival mode, and you’re giving extremists fodder to up their numbers. Being occupied and having values forced on you is something people don’t like, Americans past and present especially don’t like this. In fact, we fought a civil war over it.

    Also, I agree, some people need to figure out what liberal is, and what libertarian and/or the old right is. Republican’s are so fixated on the war, they can’t handle someone in their own ranks not supporting it, RP being in the race has shown this. I’ve said this to a lot of people I know:

    You can be pro-abortion and be a Republican.
    You can be pro-spending and be a Republican.
    You can be pro-gun control and be a Republican.
    You can be pro-amnesty and be a Republican.
    You can be pro-tuition for illegals and be a Republican.
    You can be pro-bigger government and be a Republican.
    You can be pro-global warming and be a Republican.

    But you can’t be anti-war?
