St John McCain - CAUGHT- Lying & Smearing
Edited on Wed Jul-26-06 02:03 PM by kpete
SO WHOSE NOT QUALIFIED TO LEAD?

SEN. JOHN MCCAIN:

Well, we’ve got a conflict going on in Iraq where the United States is fighting and doing everything that they can to help democracy evolve there.

The Prime Minister of Iraq and others have condemned Hezbollah and say they do not support them.

So, if you want to have our effort in Iraq impaired by this situation, go ahead, but
I think the Democrats are proving again why they’re not qualified to lead.

But-But-But


Mr Bush was asked how he could get Arab nations to apply pressure to stop the fighting given that allies, including

Mr Maliki, would not condemn Hizbollah.

Mr Maliki avoided giving his view of Hizbollah. He urged the international community to do more to protect hard-won freedom. "There have to be decisions coming from above to protect these democratic experiments," he said.

Another But

"This morning I asked him directly, 'Do you believe that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization?'" Durbin told reporters after Maliki's address to Congress. "He did not respond. He would not respond to that question."

And


Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki and his Dawa party have deeper ties to the Hezbollah leadership than has surfaced in recent reporting on his visit to the White House, emails Mark Perry. "Maliki went to school with the Hezbollah leadership ... Hezbollah in mid 1980s worked to free 'the Dawa 17' -- arrested by Kuwait for a suicide bomb that killed three Americans in the US embassy in Kuwait. Now Dawa is the ruling party in Iraq and allied to the US and their leader visits the White House." According to news reports, Maliki headed the Dawa party's Jihad office in Damascus in the 1980s.

1. McCain is an a**hole
I've always thought that and I stand by it. He is a blowhard, a coward, a misogynist, and borderline NUTS. Where was he when the election was stolen in 2000? Where was he when Kerry was smeared by the Swift Boat Liars? Exactly nowhere, that's where. I can't bear the man.

2. I'm afraid that
Senator McCain left quite a bit of himself in that prisoner of war camp in Vietnam and that is very sad.

4. IMO his break with morality was as a result of being burned by Bush
in the primaries. You know, abused people sometimes try to take on the characteristics of their oppressor. Even to go as far as idolize and imitate them. :(

5. McCain is yet another fraud!
I never understood why people like this guy. He's another crazy-ass looney tune who speaks out his ass. He's the ultimate flip-flopper, too! Well...no...that would be Lil' Dumbya himself, with McCain in the Top 5.
