If you think “Bring it on,” “Dead or Alive,” “Mission Accomplished” was in poor presidential taste, get ready, because John McCain wants to “Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran”! [1] Surely such tactless, insensitive, stupid blunders like this DO NOT A PRESIDENT MAKE!!! [2] Using such grave statements like these, in an attempt to be humorous, are so juvenile as to suggest McCain has lost all sense of morality, all sense of decency or he’s really in a state of advanced mental incompetence!!!

John McCain promises to do a whole lot [3] for America if he's elected president, but given the fact he's been in government service for over 20 years and hasn't done a whole hell of a lot so far, do you really think he's gonna follow through on all those campaign promises he's making???

"Clark won't back down." [4] A great big hooray for General Clark!!!  General Clark has nothing to apologize for, his analysis, while irritating to the ears of conservatives, is the truth, and the truth is what America needs to hear in these trying times of Regressive Repuglican lies, lies, lies and more lies, otherwise known as “campaign profiles” and “campaign promises”!

The cold hard facts, the truth about the Iraq war finally exposed. "It Was Oil, All Along [5]… Alan Greenspan said so last fall. ... 'Everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil. … If Saddam Hussein had been head of Iraq and there was no oil under those sands, our response to him would not have been as strong as it was in the first gulf war.; … Paul Wolfowitz, told the press that ‘war was our only strategic choice … We had virtually no economic options with Iraq … because the country floats on a sea of oil.'"  And if you think it was just to put gasoline in our car tanks, better think again, it really boils down to money and profits and personal gain for the two big oil guys sitting in the Oval Office catbird’s seat!

Only in the United States Senate [6] could this be real “Larry Craig and David Vitter — “two United States Senators implicated in extramarital sexual activity [7]” — have named themselves as co-sponsors of S.J. Res. 43 [8], the Marriage Protection Amendment.”

* * *

"David Brooks made an important mistake in his Tuesday column about Barack Obama ..." [9] When David Brooks comments on Democrats it isn't a "mistake"; he purposefully and intentionally says whatever it takes to mislead, misinform, and deceive! Brooks is no journalist, he is without a doubt a radical right-wing shill, a Rush Limbaugh wannabee, as he has proven over and over again!

* * *

“McCain Predicts ‘Underdog’ Win in Final 48 Hours. [10]”  What exactly is it that would make John McCain think he will win 48 hours before the election???  What does he intend to “ride to victory” on??? [11]  What’s the plan??  Just have to wonder does McCain know something we don’t???  Is there to be another “New Pearl Harbor Event” in our future????

* * *

“… a parade of White House, Defense Dept. and CIA lawyers have squirmed before hostile Congressional committees, giving testimony eerie in its clinical treatment of what most of the world thinks is torture. The hearings produced countless stunning quotes, but one attributed to a CIA lawyer stands out: 'If the detainee dies, you're doing it wrong.'" [11]  Err, murder isn’t just wrong, it’s a crime, and as such is still punishable by the law in America!

“Throughout this ugly drama, U.S. leaders have assured the public that the extreme interrogation measures used on detainees have thwarted acts of terrorists and saved thousands of American lives. The trouble with such claims is that professionals who know something of interrogation or intelligence don’t believe them. [12] This is not just because the old hands overwhelmingly believe that torture doesn’t work -- it doesn’t -- but also because they know that torture creates more terrorists and fosters more acts of terror than it could possibly neutralize.”  And “UGLY” it is. These policies aren’t making us safer, they are actually posters for Osama bin Laden’s recruitment effort. Bush/Cheney and their policies are WRONG for America, radically RIGHT for bin Laden!  IMPEACH, IMPEACH, IMPEACH!

* * *

Obviously the Iraqis have learned a thing or two about “democracy”!  “The Iraqi government sued dozens of companies, [13] including oil giant Chevron Corp., for more than $10 billion on Monday, saying they paid kickbacks to former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's government under the U.N. oil-for-food program.”
