Now Graham is asked if Gleln Beck is bad for America. Says he did a good job on Acorn, but he chooses not to watch him, and quotes Beck's STUPID comment about the country would have been worse of with McCain than Barack Obama. (On that point, and only that point, I do agree with Graham.) Graham feels that Beck is saying our best days are behind us. (I disagree with that. I think Beck is saying that if people don't get up off their butts and DO something, America will decline.)

Juan says people want to win, but not send in more troops. (Me: so EXPLAIN to people!)
Did you notice sen. Casey saying we should not repeat the mistakes made in Iraq. He forgets we won in Iraq.
