Capital Times Excerpt:Seriously, wherever they find party leaders like Duncan, please democrats, stay the hell away.
Duncan says a hard struggle lies ahead in Iraq and McCain is determined to fight through it. But he says McCain, like Lincoln did, "understands the importance of the struggle."
But to even tie in Lincoln’s internal struggles dealing with our fragmented country during the Civil War with the hallucinatory machinations of McCain’s contradictory fortune-telling campaign sound-bites regarding Iraq is ludicrous. If anyone is in a position similar to the hard struggles of Lincoln it is President Nouri Al-Maliki of Iraq who like Lincoln is presiding over a fractured war-torn country cycling in and out of civil war. Any further similarities end there.
RNC Chairman Views:Spoken like a Janesville Republican. Always looking to save that buck. With his huge jump-start advantage, why hasn’t McCain chosen his running mate yet? Oh, wait. They're saving money by not feeding another mouth.
- On the continuing battle between Obama and Clinton: "I'm so happy every day that continues. It saves me an enormous amount of money."
While Hillary and Obama fight, John McCain leads. That's the message of McCain's latest campaign ad. He offers a $5000 tax credit as the center-piece for health care reform.
But John McCain voted against expanding SCHIP, a program which amounted to giving a $5000 tax credit to middle-class families. But now, he says he’ll fix health care by offering a $5000 tax credit? Why the flip-flop? Did Bush veto the Democrat's SCHIP just so GOPer’s like McCain could pander the expansion to get elected? Republicans would never ever get elected without offering a tax cut somewhere.
The media farce started by Bush over his "appeasement" statement continued as McCain slammed Obama for his claim that Iran is not as serious a threat to the United States as the Soviet Union was a generation ago.
Chicago Tribune Excerpt:Betrays? But if McCain thinks Obama's perspective of Iran is all wrong, shouldn't that statement confirm Obama's reckless judgment and inexperience - and not betray it?
Such a statement betrays the depth of Sen. Obama's inexperience and reckless judgment," McCain said in remarks to the National Restaurant Association's convention in Chicago.
But this is where Obama stands out. The "silent treatment" foreign policy of Bush and McCain towards indifferent countries like Iran not only betrays the world but it also betrays Israel.
When I first heard Bush's remarks, Barack Obama or former President Jimmy Carter did not immediately come to mind. I thought Bush was taking a swipe at the six nations participating in appeasement talks with Axis of Evil, N. Korea. As if their ingenious argument will persuade Kim Jong-Il he had been wrong all along.
I get the feeling that Obama could debate McCain and Bush together on their wrong-headed foreign policy on the same stage, anytime - and win. Go - McCain - Go! Ra - ra -ra!
