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

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.

SEN. GRAHAM: When they re-enlist in the highest numbers anywhere else in the military, they’re speaking...
SEN. WEBB: You know, this is one thing I really—this is one thing I really take objection to...
SEN. GRAHAM: ...the soldiers are speaking, my friend. Let them win.
SEN. WEBB: ...is politicians who—at the...
SEN. GRAHAM: Let them win.
SEN. WEBB: Politicians who—may I speak?
SEN. GRAHAM: They want to win, let them win.
SEN. WEBB: Is politicians who try to put their political views into the mouths of soldiers. You can look at poll after poll, and the political views of the United States military are no different than the country at large. Go take a look at The New York Times today.
SEN. GRAHAM: The soldiers...
SEN. WEBB: Less than half of the military believes that we should be in Iraq in the first place.
SEN. GRAHAM: Have you been to Iraq? Have you ever been and talked to them? I’ve been seven times.
SEN. WEBB: You know, have you ever been to these—I’ve been—I’ve covered two wars as a correspondent...
SEN. GRAHAM: Have you been to Iraq?
SEN. WEBB: I have been to Afghanistan as a journalist.
SEN. GRAHAM: Have you been to Iraq and—have you been to Iraq and talked to the soldiers?
SEN. WEBB: You know, you haven’t been to Iraq.
SEN. GRAHAM: I’ve been there seven times.
Were it not for McCain-Feingold and his stand on the Immigration/Shamnesty Bill, McCain would still be in the chase.
Depending on what happens between now and January ‘08, I still think there is a chance Johnnie Boy just might pull it off in New Hampshire. We’ll just have to wait and see. I’m no fan of McCain, BTW.
