political courage

Isn't that an oxymoron?

It’s too bad that McCain understands Iraq better than the Dims and alleged Republicans, like Richard Lugar, John Warner Lindsay Goober Graham, and Olympia Sbnowjob. It’s a real shame that this stubborn Rino is right and so many Republicans in the senate are drinking Harry Reid’s Kool-Aid.

At least McCain isn’t siding with traitors like Little Dick Durbin.

Too bad he mucked up the campaign system. Maybe we could have saved some of the closer Senate seats or knocked off a Demo or two with some i.e.’s and then we wouldn’t be fighting tooth and nail on every vote.

Blame yourself Johnny boy.

Many on this site are swift to hammer McCain.

He is wrong on many issues but a better spokesman
for the fight of our lives in a must-win situation
is hard to find. Lieberman is a close second.

I saw Olympia Snowe in the airport in Portland, Maine yesterday. She is even more hideous in person than she is on television.

He is doing great work in the Senate on this today, attempting to fend off possibly the worst disaster this country may have ever faced. Credit where credit is due.

If he wants to leave the back door open to our nation, even go so far as inviting them in, then how the heck is he right on this issue?
Either you are serious about defending the nation or you aren’t. He can’t have it both ways.
Same goes for any other politician who blubbers on about the WOT while refusing to defend our borders.

I don’t hear any other candidate coming close to matching McCain’s rhetoric on this issue. He’s spot on, and should be commended for this.

Why cramp my brain when you say it perfectly. I am not a fan of McCain but he fought and suffered horribly for his country. He should be given the respect he's due.

Thanks Chesty. You might note the admiration for McCain
on his WOT stance is not shared by anti-fans of his
immigration stance.

I just find it hard to see why many find the WOT and the
immigration issue to be one and the same. The real fight
is the WOT and I would be glad to debate what is our
second greatest threat.

I don’t think any of those 9/11 terrorists came across our
southern border.

>> It’s too bad that McCain understands Iraq better than the Dims and alleged Republicans, like Richard Lugar, John Warner Lindsay Goober Graham, and Olympia Sbnowjob. <<

Graham was called up for active duty during the first Gulf War, is currently a Colonel in the United States Air Force Reserves and 100% supportive of VICTORY in Iraq. In fact, he just debated Jim Webb over Iraq on Meet the Press.

See for yourself here:
Jim Webb And Lindsey Graham Face Off On Meet The Press (Video Link)

You're right about Lugar, Warner, and Snowe though. Too bad nobody is bothering to find "primary opponents" for them when they're far worse than Graham will ever be.
