Well, since Obamessiah and his media friends have been sliming McCain the entire day, maybe we can fight back with just the facts :D
The activity has been ramping up in this campaign a bit at a time; a new detail here, another embarassment there, very smoothly but at a pace calculated to keep an amateur like our Messiah off balance. Then this hits. What’s his excuse now? The flavor of this contest is about to change. I think I’m gonna like it just fine,too.
I contacted my representation and encourage everyone else to.
That’s true,but the time it would take for this story to shake out to the point where a candidate switch would be necessary would eat up most of the seven weeks left before day zero. Besides, we still vote for electors. Whose electors? A ballot would still be needed.
This story, if true, is unspikable. The Corporate Media will be forced to choose sides. Nation or Party. It won’t be pretty and it won’t be quick. We can be patient because it’s becoming clear that the left’s loop is under control. Just not their control.
This alone is a clear violation. Senators do NOT have negotiating authority. It should be thoroughly investigated. And if he tried to push a system that would keep our troops in Iraq longer for political, that is a criminal act and the end of his campaign.
Liberals suck and military personnel, who disdain all politicians but especially liberals, despise them.
You evidently don't recall the Democrats who met with Saddam prior to the invasion -- Jim McDermott and David Bonior, both House members, who stood on Hussein's balcony with him and willingly propagandized for him.
Or how about Senator Rockefeller who, just prior to the Iraq invasion, travelled to Syria to meet with Bashar Assad? Rockefeller told Assad that Bush meant to invade Iraq and that he should warn Saddam of this so that he would be prepared.
As a group, Democrats have gotten into the annoying (and thoroughly dangerous) habit of conducting their own foreign policy -- most of it independent of and counter to the interests of the United States.
That Obama would attempt to actively undermine ongoing negotiations between the United States government and a foreign power is, unfortunately, consistent with Democrat party practice.
just a slight tweak...
Just yankin your chain...LOL.. Believe me, I know what you are feeling!!
Forgot about greta and first dude...thanks for the reminder!
“First class gamesmanship by the McCain Campaign.”
Thanks for the ping.
Yes, it is. But senators aren’t subject to laws like the rest of us peasants. McCain should have quoted the law and charged Obama with violating the Logan Act.
Actually, if McCain responded in real-time, he’d leave himself open to the charge of having planted the story (whether he did or not). Dinnertime is news time - that means McCain made the primary news hour of he day.
I don’t have any issue with the timing of McCain’s response.
I recall all of that, and more. And that BO would do likewise is all too likely, but during a presidential campaign? Not even Obama can think himself that infallible.
And they are already under scrutiny for being in the bag for Obama with the US Weekly and Charlie Gibson debacles.
The First Dude is a doll. It’s funny, Lynne Cheney was just on H&C promoting her new book. I was thinking—I wonder what Todd’s role might be like?
