McCain Steps Up Criticism of Obama

Written by artboy on February 28, 2008 – 6:26 pm -

Amongst reports that the Democratic contenders released record-breaking fund-raising figures, Senator John McCain stepped up his critique of Senator Barack Obama on Thursday by accusing him for the second consecutive day of a willingness to hand over Iraq to Al Qaeda. Yeah, I’m sure that is what is on his mind.

To allow context, he was reacting to Obama’s response to a hypothetical question in a debate in Cleveland on Tuesday night, when Obama said that although he intended to withdraw American forces as quickly as possible, he reserved the right to send troops back if Al Qaeda were forming a base in Iraq. McCain backs up his statement by suggesting, “This is about decisions that a president will have to make about the future in Iraq. And a decision to unilaterally withdraw from Iraq will lead to chaos.”

So ask yourselves the question: Iraq forever or Iraq on a time frame?

Dumb Quote of the Day

Written by artboy on February 26, 2008 – 1:02 pm -

Republican presidential candidate John McCain has been quoted as saying, “My friends, the war will be over soon … for all intents and purposes, although the insurgency will go on for years and years and years,” the Arizona senator said.

Huh?

Both Democratic contenders, Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, now regularly pound McCain over the remark.

McCain, Obama or Chelsea’s Mamma?

Wow, I see the way you are looking at me. Nothing says flash-point like politics. Blue… Red… Purple? Someone needs to tell me what a dang delegate is and what makes some so super! It all depends on what the definition of “is” is I guess. Who just tickles your red, blue, purple-blooded heart? What are the issues? Does Bush really think there’s more than one Internet? Should the government legislate morality? I think Al Gore looked pretty swank in a beard. Which brings up my point, how can a candidate win the popular vote and be resorted to growing a beard, creating a TV network, write books and make an award-winning movie (I’m not sure who got the worst end of that stick!)? Do tell, the world is waiting.
