actuals my blind Husband spelled that wrong. Thanks for calling it to my attention. I will tell him not to be spouting Latin phrases if he can not see the screen.

Hillary'!s pretty smart, AND extremely cunning. However she lacks the sense God gave the average chicken. Otherwise she wouldn't have insisted that "we are the president", tried gladhanding 9/11/survivors MONTHS after completely snubbing them, expected even her fans to believe she really never knew Bill cheated on her, gotten up in front of that audience of NYPD and FD after campaigning on spitting at police and calling them murderers or told our troops in Iraq that Americans support them but not the war. She wouldn't hae alienated her base by pretending support for the war in teh first place. Actually there's such a LONG list of stupid things that nobody but a New Yorker would have voted for her.

No she is smart enough to say I was wrong and move on. Yet she knows once she is in the White House she gets free reign.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Yep, way too much of that crap!

Out of here to catch some sunshine before the nest wave hits,....it's wet here!

For those of you who want to read the entire transcript, Here it is. Please note that even Hillary Clinton doesn't try to give the terrorists any ideas like McCain does.

Here are two examples of why John McCain is a traitor:

MCCAIN: On the issue of withdrawal, let me just point out, I think it is a false argument. The key to our continued presence here is not how long we stay, it is the U.S. casualties. We've been in South Korea for more than 50 years. Americans are perfectly happy with that. We've been in Bosnia, we've been in all over the world, but we don't have casualties. If we can bring American casualties down as the Iraqis take over military and law enforcement responsibilities, then I think the American people will be satisfied to see significant progress. I think that is the key to it, rather whether we withdraw or not.

McCain just has to get one more dig in:

MCCAIN: I've said many times that we have made serious mistakes and we've paid a heavy price for those mistakes. And I have pointed them out a long time ago. But the fact is that the elections have taken place.....

The benefit of watching this press conference live was the ability to see how negative and dangerous John McCain can be. IMO, his motives are dishonorable and I'm sick that no one is calling him out on these irresponsible remarks.

You're the second person today trying to convince us that Kerry's lap puppie is a conservative. When he starts supporting our military PAST and PRESENT, stops eroding the 1st Amendment and stops trying to take away our guns (only police should have them) then I'll change my view.

[Coldwater Creek]

Sorry, meant actually.

[Bommer]

Positioning herself to the right of everyone else in the Democrat party with Presidential aspirations.

Appearing with a RINO like McCain sure will help her look more conservative.

Lucky bugger....I suppose I could get some skiing in before the snow thaws....

[Coldwater Creek]

Where did she actually say that she was wrong? In over 25 years I have never heard those words uttered by Mrs, Clinton.

[Marano NYC]

That Vast Right Wing Conspiracy question is not going to get a Larry King type response.
She will eventually sit for an interview with Russert and he is tough on all. Russert was tougher on Kerry than anyone else.
Some people say Free Republic is the home of this Vast right wing Conspiracy. I am still looking for the home of the real Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.

[Osage Orange]

McCain still votes with the Repubs 80% of the time according to the 2004 vote record....he may be borderline but he still is primarily Repub....

Well...I'm 80% certain that McCain is a RINO....so, I guess it's a wash.

[Coldwater Creek]

She might not lie to an American Soldier, but she sure didn't mind using them for servants to pass food and drink trays.

Didn't she also forbid the military in some parts of the White House? Maybe I have such a jaded view of the Hildabeast that I am imagining things.

[Osage Orange]

Russert was tougher on Kerry than anyone else.

That's rich..!!

Like that took some doing...

[CyberAnt]

You must be kidding, right ..??

She's positioning herself as a hawk - because she will need that quality to run for president.

However, when she was in Iraq the last time .. she told our troops "the outcome [of the Iraq war] is not certain".

Actually - her goal is: What can I say to fool them today. She has no clue that we aren't fooled anymore.

[DoughtyOne]

Yep! That's the witch all right. Plus their little darling said something to the effect that mom (or dad) refered to them as glorified rent-a-cops. I've never wanted to smack a few people more in my life!

[cake_crumb]

McCain is indeed dangerous.

The idiot might want to stop rambling about the number of US troops in Bosnia and Korea though. He sounds like a cross between Wesley Clark and his boss, Hanoi Johnny Boy.

Remember this: it's not AMERICAN casualties that are the key, whatever John the not-so-tactically-inclined veteran thinks, but the number of IRAQI casualties. As long as Saudi and Syria back the Sunni Ba'athists against Shi'ia and Christian Iraqis and as long as Iran eggs both sides on in an effort to finally control Iraq, our presence will be necessary. You can bet that Iraqi leaders will ask us to continue to stay as long as it takes.

Iraq has lost as many people to the terrorist enemy as we have.

I never said the McCain was a conservative.....he is a moderate for sure........I simply said that his record shows he votes with the Repubs 80% of the time and he supports the party alot more than disagrees with it.....that is all...the media like to show him only when he is disagreeing with a Repub position......I choose to also see his positive side as well as his negative....
