Germany did declare war on the USA. I do not believe we ever declared war on Germany. I am not sure but they did declare war first.
DoughtyOne (R-Calif.) seized on MeCain’s shaky whimsical knowledge of Conservatism this week...

The MSM heard Obama talk about visiting all 57 states and shrugged it off.
A Conservative candidate in AZ? A little shaky on diplomatic history of 1941?? Stop the Presses!!!
I wish McCain went after 0 like this.
Hell, General MacCain led the charge against Germany after they attacked Peal Harbor. Everyone knows that. “I shall return,” General MacCain said, as he waded ashore Waikiki in hip boots.
December 11, 1941: Germany and Italy declare war on US
Germany and Italy have announced they are at war with the United States. America immediately responded by declaring war on the two Axis powers.
Three days ago, US President Franklin Roosevelt announced America was at war with Japan, the third Axis power, following the surprise attack on its naval base at Pearl Harbor.

Regardless of how questionable McCain’s arguement is, if this is the worst he can attack Hayworth on then his campaign is in real trouble.
Hey John,
On December 11, 1941, Germany and Italy announced they were at war with the United States. America immediately responded by declaring war on the two Axis powers
Looks like J.D. was right.
OK, this one has me going “HUH???” I thought Germany kept their treaty with Japan, and declared war on us after we declared war on Japan following the attack upon Pearl. We then responded be declaring war upon Germany after they made their declaration on us. Now if this is wrong, PLEASE someone corrcet me and the history I have heard over the years. If I am correct, then someone please explain to me WTH this article is all about...
"During a campaign speech in Beaverton, Oregon, on May 9, 2008, Democratic presidential nominee, Barack Obama, said that he'd visited all 57 states during his campaign."
"The comment was mostly ignored by the mainstream media but in early September 2008 several conservative blogs began to draw comparisons between Obama's quote and the 57 member states of the "Organization of the Islamic Conference" alluding to the false rumors that Obama is Muslim. World Net Daily: Muslim Fingerprints in Obama's History (September 9, 2008)"
57 States Quote
"Obama: "Over the last fifteen months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states, I think — one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii I was not allowed to go to … my staff could not justify it."
What did McCain say about THIS?
Old John is really searching for something, anything he can use against JD. Let me know when McCain finally figures out we’re at WAR with anyone...like Mexico and the Islamists he loves to coddle.
McCain....rocking chair....porch. Time for Juan McAmnesty to head home for some rest.
Why doesn’t McCain zero in on the border instead of wasting the time with political hit pieces. McCain has been in office years and the border is still wide open. All he has done so far is come out with an ad that says he wants to build a fence. Talk is cheap.
I respect McCain for his war service. Now I want to respect him for solving the problem of the wide open border. McCain, it is long past time you got to work on this issue.
McC best watch out and pray that the Keating Five files aren’t the next docs released.
He’s such a petty jackass.
Obviously this ad is to tie Hayworth with imagery of nazi Germany.
Germany declared war on the US first, and this of course was a bigger mistake by Hitler than his unilateral invasion of the USSR. He should have persuaded the Japanese to attack Siberia, not Pearl Harbor. That would have prevented Stalin from transferring the Siberian forces to Moscow in 1941, the reinforcements that saved the city and prevented an outright German victory at that point. The whole course of the war hinged on that.
Germany declared first, then US reciprocated.
Umm... I believe he is correct.
