John McCain on Kadafi: U.S. must now deepen Libyan ties (McCainiac Mark Kirk praises Hillary, Obama)
The Los Angeles Times ^ | 2011-10-20 | James Oliphant

Sen. John McCain, one of the most ardent supporters in Washington of the Libyan resistance, released a statement on the reported death of Col. Moammar Kadafi, calling for the United States to “deepen” its support for the strife-torn nation.

(snip)

“The death of Moammar Kadafi marks an end to the first phase of the Libyan revolution,” McCain said Thursday. “While some final fighting continues, the Libyan people have liberated their country. Now the Libyan people can focus all of their immense talents on strengthening their national unity, rebuilding their country and economy, proceeding with their democratic transition, and safeguarding the dignity and human rights of all Libyans. The United States, along with our European allies and Arab partners, must now deepen our support for the Libyan people, as they work to make the next phase of their democratic revolution as successful as the fight to free their country.”

(snip)

...Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), who accompanied McCain to Libya last month, released a statement crediting the administration.

"Today marks the end of Kadafi's reign and a new opportunity for freedom, prosperity and a voice in the global community for Libyans," he said. "The administration, especially Secretary Clinton, deserves our congratulations."

McCain is certifiable. He’s a total policy nut job.

Muchas Gracias Senora Palin.

This turd is also crafting “bipartisan” legislation with far-left Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) to “protect consumers” from law enforcement agencies monitoring their cell phones. Interesting how he claims he’s doing it to “protect privacy”. Isn’t this the same Kirk that wants to build a great firewall, just like China’s, on the internet to “protect the children?” The same Kirk that wants to have a bio-metric social security card the government can keep in a big database? The same Kirk that wants to mandate digitalized medical records?

Ha! - me too. First one in a year or so. I marked it as spam without opening it.

Weirdo. Creepy old stinker.

U.S. must now deepen Libyan ties

In other words: We must give them more foreign aid. McCain never met a spending bill that he didn't like. I'm beginning to believe that had his ignorant a$% been elected that we would have the same exact thing that we have with Zero.

IOWs shovel billions of dollars of U.S. aid into an oil rich country that we don’t even buy oil from.

This thing where McQueeg must constantly scrape and kowtow away every single disagreeable thought, because of teh sh!t the NVA put into his head, the number they did on his brain -- it's just sad.

I think the people who are expecting benefits from Kadafi’s death and the Muslim Brotherhood takeover are delusional.

Did you vote for the Constitution Party candidate, Chuck Baldwin, in 2008? I voted for Baldwin, since McCain was too liberal, and I knew that Obama would easily win Illinois.

No, I voted McCain. If I had a do over I probably wouldn’t vote for him again.

If Mitt Romney is nominated I am very unlikely to vote for him. If Illinois is close that means Obama will be easily defeated nationwide.
