Is the media jumping on McCain for his comments last night?
"We've wasted a lot of our most precious treasure, which is American lives." or are they saying he has a word malfunction?

7. Bingo - how much more evidence is needed to note the complicity of corpmedia
when it comes to attacking targeted Democrats while PROTECTING Republicans? Sheesh - we've had the evidence for at least 8 years by now.

9. I was driving home and hadn't heard about this. Then the news said the
Democratic Party was asking for McCain to apologize for saying that comment. They also mentioned Obama saying it and that he quickly said he regretted it.

Frankly, I think this is a little ridiculous.

I knew what Obama meant and I know what McCain meant.

Why does anybody wonder why politicians don't speak like regular people when they say the things all the rest of us are saying they get jumped on?

I certainly understand holding McCain to the same standard applied to Democrats but I just rolled my eyes when I heard the news report.

10. Now, now, Mr. McCain is a Republican.
Remember, Republicans can do and say as they wish and you are to NEVER CALL THEM ON IT!
