You think McCain is going to win this war? You think he supports the troops? Bull. McCain, who wants to close Gitmo and bring the terrorists to our soil, who, along with Carl Levin, wants to weaken the rules for military tribunals, who wants to join the International Criminal Court and let them try soldiers for war crimes. Who doesn’t want to torture terrorists, even if the nation is being directly threatened with an attack. Who wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years, but then in the next breath says that’s only if the troops aren’t being injured or killed. McCain, who fought the President and Rumsfeld at every turn because they weren’t running the war his way, even though his vaunted military experience amounts to being a mediocre pilot. That McCain.
And you’re willing to use our dead troops as a weapon to keep conservatives in line to vote for THAT? John McCain is just another hypocrite democrat who says he supports the troops while undermining them and their mission at every turn. He, like certain Freepers, USES the troops to accomplish his own political ends. That is not supporting and honoring the troops.
McCain supported the war, even if I disagree with his stance on Gitmo, tribunals, and other aspects of it. He turned out to be right, and Rumsfeld turned out to be wrong, about the surge and the need for more troops.
I’m not using anyone to accomplish anything. I am imagining the way the world looks under Clinton, Obama, and McCain. I think there are real differences, particularly regarding the war on terror. McCain is committed to winning, the democrats are committed to an immediate withdrawal.
If you’re honest with yourself, you will realize he is the best choice. I’m not happy about it, I’m not a McCain fan, but that is the reality of the situation.
