McCain in New Hampshire the other day....DISGUSTING Comment!

[Roland99]

I was watching C-SPAN last night and apparently politcal whore extraordinaire John McCain is up in New Hampshire pimping Republican Senate candidates. He was commenting on how things in Iraq are going well and actually used the Propagandist's favorite phrase: "we're making progress". THEN, he said something that *literally* had me dumbfounded and left me jaw agape. McCain was saying we're seeing success in Iraq because (and I'm only slightly paraphrasing here):

"More Iraqis are taking the lead. US deaths are going down. Iraqi deaths are going up."


:wow:


I guess "success" means the brown-skinned people die and the glorious American military sees fewer casualties. What a disgusting piece of filth!! :mad: :mad:

1. Guess he was tryng to take away any doubts that he is a total asshole.

[DanCa]

2. Wes Clark would destroy the weasel Mccain in a head to head match up..

Along with Guilani and any other piece of garbage that the repukes would throw at him.

[Catherine Vincent]

3. Disgusting piece of filth is right.

4. What a Small Sick man

God these people are twisted.

[Union Thug]

5. And americans are too lazy to take 50$/hour to pick lettuce.

Whoever said McCain had any redeeming value was smoking crack. The guy is a sleazy weasel.

6. Brand W Republican

16. Why would this man get one vote?

[bluestateguy]

7. What do you expect from someone who gave aid and comfort to N. Vietnam?

Yeah. McCain's war record is fair game. Absolutely fair game. Saddle up.

[Union Thug]

9. good point. If that puke becomes the R nominee... then swift boat him...

What's good for the goose...

[ewoden]

12. As a Viet Vet I would implore you not to go there.

Take the high road. To lie down with dogs is to rise with fleas

[Olney Blue]

18. I agree with you. No vet deserves swift boating.

[Union Thug]

19. The high road has proven to be a losing strategy.

With all due respect, this isn't about vets, it's about giving the repukes a dose of their own acrid medicine.

[Bigmack]

22. How about a compromise on "Swiftboating"?

The dems should just do what Jon Stewart would do..... play the clips of Repubs saying all the wild shit about McCain.

Narrator: "We don't have to run Sen. McCain down... we'll just let his fellow Republicans do it. Let's hear what Rush Limbaugh had to say about the Senator on his radio show........

(play audio clip with Rush's picture onscreen)

Narrator: "How about what Vietnam War hero Jerome Corsi had to say about him.....

(play audio or video clip of Corsi. If he Swiftboats McCain in that clip... hey, it's not our doing.)

Narrator: "The Repubs can't seem to get along with each other, and they say the most horrible things about each other. Isn't it time for a change? Vote for ......"

If the Dems put a few 30 second ads together like that, they might even beat McCain.

10. Nevermind the "Iraqi deaths" he speaks of are mostly civilians

being killed in the Iraq Civil War.

[rocktivity]

11. DON'T DISCOURAGE HIM!!!

It just gives us more ammunition for suggesting that Bush was right and he really IS crazy! Keep on keeping on with that flip-flopping, John! RAH RAH RAH!

13. Interesting..I just read an article titled, "Undeclared Civil War in Iraq"

WHATEVER THAT MEANS! It's either a Civil War or it's not, right? No one wants to admit it. They think we're blind, deaf and dumb.

I guess the Falwell ass kisser doesn't read the news either.:eyes:

[Imagevision]

14. If 100,000 civilians were killed in 1 day , Bush say, no civil war??!!

it's progress, success!

[Roland99]

15. Ok....here's a transcript of what he said...starts at 22:46 of the video

"How are we doing in Iraq? Well...we're doing alright. We're not doing nearly what we thought we would do. We're not doing as well as we hoped we would do. But we are making progress. The keys to success in Iraq are three: economic improvement, which means restoration of their oil capabilities and a better life and allow people to live in a safe and secure environment. The second is the training of the Iraqi military so that they can take over the responsbilities that US military is carrying out and we are making progress there. If you'll look at the casualties, you'll see that American casualties are down, Iraqi casualities are up. That means that Iraqis are more and more on the front line. That is proceeding pretty well. And third, of course, is the government that's a unity government."



So, by his "keys" to success, sounds to me like Iraq is a complete and utter failure at this point. Oil production is BELOW pre-war levels; casualties are immense and the US's drop in casualties is reverting this month; and the Iraqi government is now being run by militia groups and some officials in the government are beginning to refuse to cooperate with the US.

17. McCain HUGGED Bush. He's a whore

and an old-fashioned pol who will say or do anything he thinks will get him ahead in his race for the Presidency. People like him are a cancer in our system.

[AzDar]

20. He's batshit-crazy. I'm beginning to think that's a prerequisite to join

the GOP.

[RagAss]

21. McCain has no pride....Rove destroyed him in 2000 and he's....

been kissing administration ass ever since......Loser....who would vote for a prideless man for POTUS...???
