"Democrats, who deny our soldiers the means to prevent an American defeat, have chosen another road. It may appear to be the easier course of action but it is a much more reckless one"
(McCain, trying to sound like Cheney)

I love this kind of crap, where the GOP slimeballs try to dodge responsibility for their gross mismanagement of this war. The defeat was guaranteed when your fearless leader Dubya sent in less than half the necessary troops to do the job and then, when the **** hit the fan, refused to accept that the situation on the ground had changed from insurgency to full blown civil war.

The fault lies not in the Democrats, McCain, but in your own leaderships' gross incompetency. Perhaps you should have stuck with the independent image you once had, John, and fought against Bush's stupidity, rather than trade that in to become Bush's number one butt kisser in the hopes that the right wingers would accept you.

Sell out!

McCain is dead man walking. Do you realize he'll be 80 when/if his second term ends?

Giuliani has more and more personal skeletons ...
Romney is a flip-flopping liar ...
Thompson has lymphoma ...
Newt is laughable ...


What's more:

Hillary seems too calculated ...
Obama needs substance and he's green ...
Edwards' wife is convalescing ...



All this makes me suspect that on Jan. 20, 2009 ..... President Al Gore

I still say Al Gore and Wesley Clark are an unbeatable ticket.

I don't think Gore's running. He's making millions per year and eating and drinking when he feels like it. Plus, he's gotta wake up every morning, look at his paper, spit coffee while saying "goddammit, Tipper, I told those stupid bastards this was gonna happen if they gave the job to the Idiot from Texas."

Romney’s Flip-Flopping Evolution

Romney Flip-Flop Speed Record?

Quote:
Mitt Romney's change of position on abortion has been well-documented and acknowledged by Romney himself. In his two Massachusetts campaigns – a failed 1994 U.S Senate bid and a victorious 2002 gubernatorial effort – Romney unabashedly presented himself as a pro-choice candidate. For example, in response to a 2002 campaign questionnaire, Romney wrote:

"I respect and will protect a woman's right to choose. … Women should be free to choose based on their own beliefs, not mine and not the government's."

But in late 2004, Romney had a change of heart on abortion. It was triggered by a meeting with experts to help him better understand stem cell research. He explained it in a recent National Review Online interview:

"At one point, the experts pointed out that embryonic stem cell research should not be a moral issue because the embryos were destroyed at 14 days. … it just hit us hard just how much the sanctity of life had been cheapened by virtue of the Roe v. Wade mentality."

Yeah, but allure of holding the "most powerful man in the world" title may be too much for him.

Outside of Gore, Bill Richardson has the right blend of experience and ability to relate with voters to be an attractive candidate...if only the dems had the brains to give him a chance.

Richardson has about as much chance of being elected president as Wink Martindale.

McCain needs to convince voters he can come up with an exit strategy. It's a tough sell, for sure...

I know, and it's a shame. He'd make an excellent candidate.

I'd vote for a caveman if he had a viable exit strategy. I hope I didn't offend anyone.

This is exactly why I'm looking at this guy more favorably. We've had those that supposedly aren't green and have substance. It's time for something fresher.

The exact moment he screwed his campaign is back when he was on CNN trying to convince Wolf Blitzer that Baghdad was some sort of prime vacation spot, lol...

Maybe he thinks he can woo the right wing hard liners over to his camp, and then in the general election, he can try swinging back to the middle. I think to most Americans, he just coming across as the worst kind of panderer.

I really think he lost the respect of most Americans after Rove/Bush just slurred his name up and down the Eastern Seaboard and then he turned around and gave Dubya the old hug and kiss. No matter what your politics are, that was one ugly sell out.
