MCCAIN TRIES TO CLARIFY "100-YEAR" REMARK

[Hazcat]

So he is worried about the ONE THING he has RIGHT!

What a maroon!

[Steely Tom]

Well he’s a straight talker anyway.

[ex-snook]

Hey McCain, the surge worked. It’s not a issue. It’s the economy, stupid.

[mdittmar]

Nice try ap,illegal immigration is why mccain will lose.

[Non-Sequitur]

I can see any number of ways McCain can lose, without bringing up Iraq.

[hinckley buzzard]

McCain will have more trouble answering for the economy than for the war. I hope he is recruiting a first rate economic advisor team.

[penelopesire]

Welll..so much for our ‘Fearless Leader’..(Cue Eye Roll)

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

McNut acknowledges that the majority are against the war and that it can factor in the election.

[nmh]

Tell me about it ....

“ROCKY RIVER, Ohio - John McCain said Monday that to win the White House he must convince a war-weary country that U.S. policy in Iraq is succeeding. If he can’t, “then I lose. I lose,” the Republican said. He quickly backed off that remark.”

Why not TALK up the SUCCCESS coupled with us withdrawing victorious. We do have a victory there.

McCain is a MORON!

Agree McCain needs to run some polls as somewhere over 60% of voters are against amnesty and he still doesn’t get it, no amnesty is a winner when the other side is for it. That and the war in Iraq will get him the win. Heck I might even vote for him.

[nmh]

That too ... ILLEGAL immigration is a loser. He’s ALL for it. Of late, he believes that Americans want a FENCE and then ILLEGAL amnesty would be okay. Rollng my eyes ... .

[gathersnomoss]

He should check his sack before he speaks. Pahleeese.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Yes, but not bloody likely. If he loses, I doubt it will be because of that.

[TomGuy]

Support for the surge was really all McCain ran on.

The Dem candidate will continue to push the Iraq War as an issue. And in another 8 months or so, even more people will be tired of it.

If that is all McCain has to run on in November, barring a major terrorist attack or OBL threat/video, McCain will be running on fumes.

If Obama or Clinton continue to resurrect the 1992 theme, It’s the economy, Stupid, McCain is sunk. McCain as much as admitted he didn’t know much about the economy — and voters cast their votes based on their pocketbooks.

"McNut acknowledges that the majority are against the war and that it can factor in the election."

McCain is worried that Paulrhoids like yourself will not vote for him since he doesn't buy the "why do they hate us" bullshit like your idiot messiah Ron Paul.

[ARE SOLE]

It won't be the economy that does him in. He is running against two tax and spend communists.

Americans similarly will not walk away from a war we are winning.

It's your Amnesty John !

The Iraq war is not the focus of the American public’s concern as much as the rising cost of energy in this nation. We need to be drilling in the United States. We have our own oil. If McCain would get off this global warming fraud and start straight talking nuclear energy and other energy technologies that come from the free enterprise system, he would kick the DemonRAT’s rears this November.

He needs to call for a roll back of all the environmental regulations that hamstring energy development in this country.

Senator McCain. Please step aside and let others lead.
