So, can you tell me exactly what would have happened if Saddam and is sons hadn't been removed from power? Are you actually going to claim that Saddam wouldn't have helped any anti-U.S. terrorist groups?
The one fact that the anti-Bush, anti-liberation armchair Maoists can't bring themselves to accept is that the troops are leaving Iraq because the country was liberated and is being stabilized under Bush's watch.
Now if he would've just secured our own borders... :(

LIBERTAS, can't you see that you're proving yourself wrong simply by continuing to express such opinions?

Then how come it's still their oil? You should think your points through before presenting them.
Excuse me. Troop numbers are below pre-surge levels. There, hope that helps.
Are you a taxpayer? If you are, how come you're not complaining about the trillions spent on welfare and entitlement programs for the fat and lazy right here in America? As a taxpayer, I can at least realize that when we spend money on troops, we at least get something good for that money. We don't get jack from the welfare recipients. Well, nothing good anyway.
It's just like you to keep taking someone's words out of context, long after being proven wrong.

SezWho2, there is a lot more to campaigning than TV ads, and I was not limiting McCain's comments to those.

Where have you been all this time?
Trillions? You must have the Iraq budget confused with the welfare program budget.
I've been syaing for a while now that the subject of Iraq was going to be a moot point before the U.S. election ended, and guess what - I was right! The troops have already been coming home; they've been below pre-surge levels for a while now. And it wasn't Obama or Pelosi that presided over this, it was the Bush administration. Not that the BDS leftists will ever give him credit...
Still, the earliest the combat troops will be there another two years, and it will be another five years before the support troops are out too.
Now if Iran would just pull out its men and weapons...

SezWho2:
McCain says positive things about his plans and programs all the time. But most of the media is too busy fawning over Obama to report it.
smithinjapan:
There is nothing positive of substance to say about Obama. Period. Again, he has no experience, no substance, no honesty, and no knowledge.
Fighting the war on terror. Wow, that was easy.
McCain was against drilling in offshore areas and ANWR when oil was $20/barrel, but is for it when oil is $120/barrel. Is that your idea of a flip-flop?
Obama was against it when oil was $120/barrel, but is for it when oil is $120/barrel. Can you spot the difference?
undecidedabout08:
Bingo. What smithinjapan has so quickly forgotten is that McCain got the lead in "blue" states which held open primaries (Democrats could vote in the GOP primary), before the majority of conservatives in the "red" states got a chance to vote. Fred Thompson, as a reminder, dropped out before his home state of Tennessee held its primary.
And for the record, Duncan Hunter was "my" guy. Once he dropped out, it was Romney. I liked Thompson too, but I knew only my fellow Tennesseans would remember him as anything other than an actor. McCain is our hold-the-nose-and-vote candidate. He's only been a consistent conservative on a few major issues: Defending the country (and the world) from Islamic terrorism, cutting unnecessary spending from the federal budget, supporting the death penalty, and energy independence. Other than that, there's not much difference between him and Obama, so I don't understand the opposition the left has against McCain. You want open borders or amnesty for illegal aliens? McCain has oily-slick, MS13-apologist Juan Hernandez as his "Hispanic outreach director", so it's likely. You think the Fairness Doctrine was a good idea? Well, right-wing talk radio has rarely been McCain's friend, so don't expect much opposition from the man who co-wrote the other great restriction on free speech, McCain-Feingold. McCain was the liberals' pick during the primaries, after all.
Same for Bush, really. He didn't do a single thing to reduce the number of people on welfare, and he gave us our biggest step towards socialized medicine since FDR. Nor did has he done much to prevent illegal alien nannies, housekeepers and landscapers from finding jobs in the mansions of limosine liberals from D.C. to Malibu. He's a moderate, so what's with all the Hitler comparisons and neocon this and neocon that?
Credit to Obama there. He's had the audacity ;) to tell young blacks they need to help themselves and get in the game. No wonder Jesse Jackson wanted to rip his... man, it hurts even thinking about typing it. Of course, that's been the message Republicans have been sending for years, but when it comes from them, it's attacked as "racism", and when Obama says it, it's heralded as "responsibility". With such a bigoted perspective, any legitimate discussion of issues or politics is impossible.

Of course, the real fun isn't linking McCain to Bush, or even Obama to Carter.
It's linking Obama to McCain, and then to Bush. Heads explode! :D

Taka, please don't talk about Paris going both ways. One home video was three too many. :)
Her energy policy is closer to McCain's... this week. Once Obama gets wind that Paris Hilton made more sense on an issue than he does, he'll change his mind (again) to catch up.

Mind if I jump in?
Answer: Because there is nothing positive of substance to say about Obama. In fact, Obama is such a terrible choice for president (no experience, no substance, no honesty, no knowledge), the fact that a sizeable percentage of Americans aren't smart enough to see through him is downright frightening, much less disappointing. It's an indication that decades of government schools and vegetating in front of the "idiot box" have reduced many Americans to apathetic, shallow zombies, whose grasp of politics can't extend past soundbites, talking points, and accusing anybody who counters them of being a racist.
Satisfied now?

Speaker Nancy Pelosi is on a book tour. On her personal jet. Have you heard the title of the book?
At least she doesn't pretend to be anything other than an out-of-touch elitist.

Wow, Hilton can read from a cue card just as well as Obama, but has a better energy plan.
Parties like a Clinton, more qualified than Obama. Oh well, maybe the democrats can nominate her in 2012.

Hey, at least you can agree with Obama on every issue half the time.
He was against drilling in offshore areas and ANWR when oil was $20/barrel, but is for it when oil is $120/barrel. Obama was against it when oil was $120/barrel, but is for it when oil is $120/barrel. Can you spot the difference?

Two Muslim women who are activists and work for Islamic front groups? You're right, Republicans don't really care about them. Never said we did, either. Must've been another fantasy of yours.

Is that the same congress that has approval ratings less than half those of president Bush? The lowest in history, in fact, for any congress? The same congress that ran on a platform of immediate surrender in and withdrawal from Iraq? The same congress that tried to undermine our efforts in iraq by cutting funding for the troops, but didn't have the stones to pull it off? The same congress that ran on a platform of doing "something" about high gas prices? The same congress intentionally sabotaging the oil industry in the hopes of nationalizing it?
At least you've recognized there is a congress.

Hmmmm. After I wrote my 11:23 post, I stumbled upon a column at Townhall by Richard Collins, titled The Audacity of Abandonment:

"Change" indeed.

"desperation" is the DNC replacement word for "facts"?

If you're talking about my posts, then the above is the only time you've been accurate. Although, as usual, you left off part of the sentence.
I have not claimed that 'Obama ripped them from those seats and forced them to sit somewhere else.'
I have not claimed that Obama escorted them to different seats.
So which is it? Were the volunteers zealots or just being cautious?
Such is the problem with trying to be all things to all people. You just end up ticking off everybody, just at different times.
It's better to just be who you really are. Shame Obama (being a typical DNC candidate) can't do that and get elected at the same time.
