Subscribe to RSSFour years after he accepted the Republican nomination for president, John McCain returned to the GOP convention.
“I had hopes once of addressing you under different circumstances,” McCain said. “But our fellow Americans had another plan four years ago, and I accept their decision.”
While speaking at the RNC, Senator John McCain, R-Ariz., explains why he disagrees with the way President Obama has handled foreign policy decisions over the past four years.
This year, McCain was here in a different capacity – as Mitt Romney’s chief foreign policy attack dog, leveling harsh criticism of President Obama, the man who defeated him in 2008.

He casually charged that because of withdrawing from Afghanistan, “the president discourages our friends and emboldens our enemies.”
Because of Obama’s stance on Syria, McCain said, “Our president is not being true to our values.”
He said he trusts Mitt Romney to lead and without American leadership, “the world will grow darker, poorer and much more dangerous.”
Romney starts at a deficit when it comes to foreign affairs. According to the latest NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll, President Obama has a 54 percent approval rating on foreign policy and more say Obama would be a better commander in chief.

Obama - Creating more excuses than jobs!
Republicans saving more taxes and creating more wars in order to create jobs.
Huckabee said SO much about how good Romney will be, didn't he?
Really??
Hey- on Hannity today, him and Noot pointed out how bad the country is in the toilet, then went on to point out how the race is in a 'dead heat'. Must say a lot about the repubes, huh???
Covey leader to McCain, what is your position?, over. Lost in the jungle and trying to come out of the woodwork. I am about to go to bed but hopefully will not have nightmares dreaming of what life would be like if Rambo McCain and the dingbat from Alaska were in the White House.........
Traitors. All of them.
Do they really think this country can afford to stay in Iraq and Afghanistan?
If we had the money the GOP threw down those rat holes, we wouldn't be in the shape we are today.
Oh sh!t- NOW Condi is on, and guess what? She's telling us all about how Romney is the best bet. Oh wait....
Never mind.
More Obama nonsense.
SO- Christi tells us about HIS record in NJ. Nicki Haley tells us all about Boeing and South Carolina. Whats-his-ass tells us all about Ohio.....When is someone going to tell us all about Mitt? His wife tried, and SHE came up with breast cancer and MS. How does THOSE items make me want to vote for MITT????
What?
I've listened to a lot of the speeches so far.
And I haven't heard ONE WORD about the GOP's plans to get this country back on track.
It sounds more like a comedy routine than a political platform.
It is very simple:
1. If a small group of people have all of the money, consumption goes down. Consumption goes down, fewer people have jobs - income growth stagnation and income inequality cause high unemployment, not Obama
2. Romney and his neo cons (not true conservatives by the way) want a government that exists for one reason - income stagnation and inequality.
Meaning - since 1980, when Reagan took office, consumption has continued at previsous levels for one and only one reason - debt based spending. We are in this situation because of 4 decades of crap governmental policy, specifically laws that distribute wealth upwards. YES - the laws send money to the top and that wrecks economies.
This is not a republican versus democrat thing and it is not socialism versus capitalism. It is that our laws push money to the top 1% and keeps the money there. So long as our system is this way, jobs will always be hard to create because demand will always be low because no one has any MONEY other than 15,000 multi millionaires and they can only hire so many people.
Michael 1969: AMEN! Spoken like a wise prophet!
McCain was the guy who chose Palin.................his judgement should be suspect just on that fact alone.
Truth is hardly an excuse....
Suzanne Martinez. This hour's Roseanne Barr sound-alike-contest winner.
Neat.
Now- what was that was she saying about how great Romney's plan is?
Oh....wait......
That is not what the statistics say. Isn't there something like 30 months of job increases or has your lying party ever told you that. And he has createdmore jobs than Bush did the entire 8 years. and I wonder if you compare how may jobs Romney sent offshore over the years how big that deficit would be. What gets me is the people that actually would vote for Romney. Dont they watch him and listen to what he says. And then Ryan don't they watch and listen to what he says and stands for. Has the republican party taken leave of their senses. There is no excuse for it. None. And they have the unmitigated gall to criticize Obama.
Well let's see,.. UMMMM,.. Obama got OSAMA! and so far foreign policy has worked! so bite that one ! GOP!
Do they even know what Romneys plan is. Last time I heard we had to wait til January to hear. After it would be too late I guess. Now just why does Romney think he is ept enough as opposed to inept to run for president. He doesn't even handle the financing correctly. Being rich aint no reason to become president although some apparently think it is.
Hmmmmm There's a reason McNuts lost!
And you are not alone ~ neither has anyone else. Maybe this is the first convention in "stealth mode." Some of the speakers hardly mention their nominee's name. Its all been criticism with not a clue as to how the GOPers will attack the problems facing us.
You know
what really pisses me off?
I as responsible American citizen have done my legal and financial obligation to my country by filing paying my taxes on time. Now Romney has the gall to file an extension for 2011, its not like he is doing them himself having to fill out hundreds of pages for tax loopholes and write offs, we don’t even know if he did his 2009 or 2008 taxes there not listed on his web site as being done. Why is it that Rmoney is
not even responsible enough to file his taxes on time? A person with this irresponsible nature should not be running our country. Doing your taxes on time is the most basic responsibility of every American.
From Mitts website:
In addition, Gov. Romney has released numerous financial disclosuressince 2002, as required by law – which have also been posted on this site. There are 3 federal Public Financial Disclosures (from 2007, 2011, and 2012), and 6 Massachusetts Statements of Financial Interests (from 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007).
Financial Disclosures ??? Nothing about him paying his taxes, but no financial disclosure
from 2008 and 2009. What happened in 2008 and 2009? Are these the years he applied for
amnesty because he committed fraud or did not pay any taxes? I’ll guess the
American public will never get full disclosure from Mitt.
Not responsible enough to file taxes on time , not responsible enough to be President.
Obama/Biden
2012
And to whoknow I don't think they really hire people. Sometimes they start a business that hires people but generally they don't. Tax cuts do not create jobs. The republicans are stupid if they think that. Why because the tax cuts have been in force for 10 or 11 years and there are not a lot of jobs. So duh! How can they think people are stupid enough to believe that. Have some peoples brains turn to mush or what?
There is a good chance that he got an extension to keep from revealing the information. He pays people to do those taxes and they knew he would need to disclose them. He could fire those people and get his taxes done next week if he wanted but he doesn't.I assume he has a computer. We don't need a president who has his money overseas invested in who knows what. How do we know it is not in an evil empire? And we don't a president who is so sneaky he won't tell us what he is doing with his money. And you people don't need to know. Well you people don't need to vote for someone who shops at costco cause he can't afford or is too stingy to go to Macys or somewhere else. We just have to keep him out of office. Our country can't afford him in it.
very simple, they are the who - whos that watch fox news. just look at them then listen. amazing....
McCain's service to this great country will forever be remembered as 'excellent.'

Percent in Poverty: 2010
Notice how ALL the worst states are red states?
Coming soon - to an America near you!
Why,
You ignored the legal filing of an extension to file. The next filing deadline is September unless otherwise arranged with the IRS. This is a legal option to anyone who is working with an accountant to fulfill their tax preparation and obligations. This is common practice among many Americans due to the complex nature of their tax returns. Guess your parents still file the 1040 X for you or you might know this stuff.
In regards to tax cheats do you know the Kennedy's paid no taxes until Jackie died...and the the estate stiffed the IRS...just like a democrat. Check it out for your self. The perks of do as I say not as I do. How about Mrs. Rich renouncing her citizenship and saving millions in taxes this year...another democrat fund raiser by the way. It would seem the Democrats have just as many tax dodgers and cheats including Timothy Geithner. There is a link for you to read in the Wall Street Journal...more if you just google his name.

Again a progressive with no comprehension.
Real American,
And who has been President during the largest increase in the poor population in our lifetime? President "I blame it on everyone not in the room" Obama. Another reason for a change in leadership coupled to the 5 million person net loss in employment totals since June 2008 to June 2012. (Remember the Democrats controlled the House and Senate from 2006 until 2010)
John the American killer McCain says i want at least 5 more wars we are the world police. Time for john to go to the Va Home
No President in the modern era has ever been elected by showing only one year of tax returns. I see no reason to start now.
Can you imagine the Republicans saying to Obama, "Never mind, Mr. President, we don't need to see your tax returns." ?????
Romney's campaign slogan, "What you don't know can't hurt me!"
The only vison the GOP has is destroying this country and selling it to the highest bidder
Here ya go, notsosure10:
This was the CNN Money headline in Bush's last month of office:
Job loss: Worst in 34 years
Employers slashed 598,000 more jobs in January as unemployment rate climbed to 7.6%.
Here was last month's number from the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 163,000 in July.
And here are a couple of charts of U.S. Gross Domestic Product for 1990 to 2011:
GDP 1990 to 2011
United States GDP Growth Rate, 1990 to 2012
Looks like the only time we were "going bankrupt" during that period was when your boy Bush was in office.
There's more money in the U.S. economy today than there was before the recession. The only difference is who it's going to. (hint - one of their initials is W.M.R.)
Here is a thumb nail sketch of the Democratic party under Obama..
After her recent heartwarming speech at the RNC, Mia Love’s Wikipedia was edited calling her a “dirty, worthless wh*re who sold her soul in the name of big business,“ and a ”house ni**er.”
Think about that for a minute. This is the way the liberal left in the Democratic party treats blacks who fail to dance to their tune! What an incredibly sad commentary on the Democratic party and Obama administration. Now, we really know who, by their very actions and “hate speech” is attempting to ” keep blacks in chains” vice president Biden! It is the Democratic party who says either you dance to our tune or we will smear you and make your life a living hell!
In response to this type of bigotry and an epidemic of moral decay in the Obama administration, the Coalition of African-American Pastors, a group of leading black clergy, has responded by extolling blacks to withdraw and reevaluate their support of Obama.
Essentially, they and an every growing segment of principled members of the democratic party believe they must abandon Obama's candidacy and return to fight another day when the once proud Democratic party can submit a candidate who is more willing to uphold traditional American values rather than to functional as an architect of policies that will ultimately destroy the country from within.
We suffered through eight years of war, falling home values, high unemployment and a collapsed stock market. Can you believe the GOP is critical of reversing this trend? How can this be?
What service was that?!! He is a TRAITOR!! He wanted Airbus to win the air tanker contract over BOEING while there were thousands of AMERICANS out of work!!That IDIOT must have STOCKS in Airbus along with those TRAITOR IDIOTS in the Airforce that gave Airbus the contract!!
Notsosure10,
I did mention his extension. That's one of the points how can a guy that wants to be President not file his taxes on timer. I filed my on time and you probably did to. As far the other people you mentioned THEY ARE NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
Not responsible enough to file taxes on time , not responsible enough to be President.

Even British Conservatives say the GOP is "unfit to govern
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=OFMI4RftNSo
======================================================================
Let me repeat: Europe's economy is contracting, while the U.S. economy is growing.
While Europe elected conservative governments at the worst possible moment, and then embraced the cruel stupidity that is economic austerity, the United States took a different path. Obama stimulus package has stimulated tentative economic growth. Stimulus works, austerity doesn't. Until the economy is fully back on its feet, more stimulus would be the best economic policy. Austerity would be the worst economic policy. So what do the Republicans want to do?
Mitt Romney would have let the auto industry go bankrupt. Mitt Romney thinks unemployment insurance is a disaster. Mitt Romney wants to cut Medicare and Social Security benefits. Mitt Romney wants to cut benefits on just about everyone who needs them in order to finance even more tax cuts for the extremely wealthy— people such as Mitt Romney. In other words, Mitt Romney wants to impose austerity on pretty much everyone other than the very few who are in the economic class of Mitt Romney. In fact, Mitt Romney's economic program is so unfair, and it so favors the very few who are in the economic class of Mitt Romney, that he doesn't even want us to know its details. And that gets to the core of why Mitt Romney is unfit to govern.
Hey, "MYTH" your taxes are going to hound you. Show US your Taxes. Show US you are not a felon. Mrs. Romney show US your "Costo Card" and prove you are not another Romney liar.

Obama/Biden 2012
When a Naval officer loses his boat he catches hell. When a navy pilot loses his plane he...well you get my drift. McCain is an a.s. Does anyone remember "bomb bomb bomb Iran"?
Real American,
Already covered that and 7.6% for his last month in office (President Bush) when President Obama has 42 months about 8.2% or higher...not a great comparison.
You like the rest of the blind don't go to the governments employment figures to see the net loss of 5 million plus. Here I help you out. www.bls.gov It might help if you can subtract the total employment numbers in June 2012 from the June 2008 employment totals. You will discover a 5 million plus net loss. Even with the 163,000 increase the loss of jobs still has the unemployment at 8.2%=8.3% so no real gain in jobs period.
Bush is not my boy just a Obama is not your boy...both were or are Presidents. And you ignored the fact the Democrats "we have to pass the bill to find out what is inside" ran both the House and Senate from 2006 and set the budgets. Now the leadership on Capitol Hill can't develop or pass a budget on either side of the aisle.
WhoKnow, you did a good analysis. Given the parameters the best thing to jump start the USA economy is to Buy American Made. Don't buy Chinese made mushrooms, pumpkin seeds, garlic, jams, or any other food products from China (also for safety - they are insufficiently inspected), Buy USA made cars with high USA made content. Boycott foreign companies selling in the USA. Buy a Ford or GM product don't buy Toyota, Nissan, Kia you are shipping jobs overseas when you do. Use Verizon, T-Mobile is Geman. Bitch like hell when AT&T customer service routes you to India or the Phillipines and the agent can bearly speak English. Try to buy from small shops, the big ones like Walmart are Chinese fronts for all intents and purposes.
I was expat in Germany. One very interesting thing - Germans know they must support their economy by buying German. So go ahead buy that Apple Ipad or tablet and ship a job to China. Apple didn't even have the courtsey to build a state of the art production facility here. The corporations want us to be good consumer sheep but don't want us as workers. Mess up their plans - Buy American Made. Strange that neither presidential contender has stressed Buy Amerocan Made as part of his platform - makes you think they've both been bought out.
First of all, I do not know how any of you can defend a president who has used more excuses than a child being yelled at by his/her parents. Look at the deficit, 5 TRILLION dollars of money that does not even exist spent. Money being printed and more money on top of that being spent. YOUR tax dollars!! Best of all, I love how these liberal stations like CNN, MSNBC look for any possible way to defend Obama. Even if it is ethically, morally and completely wrong, it is pushed to the side and countered with how horrible Mitt Romney is as a businessman. Just so you know, Mitt Romney has built a business and has been responsible for creating profits for that business. Yes, maybe he has shipped jobs to India, but what business has not?!?!? If anyone has any idea, sending jobs offshore used to be considered a business savy and an astute decision. Great CEOs such as Michael Dell and Steve Jobs have done offshoring! Yes, it ended up being a mistake, but I can name 50 more mistakes that Obama is responsible for. I want all of you to realize that its as simple as this to improve this economy. Cut the federal spending!! Cut the entitlements, cut the quantitative easing, and reduce the federal jobs and bring more jobs into the private sector. Also, families on third and fourth generation wellfare needs to stop! The way the system works now is if someone is on wellfare, they are far better off than if they actually got a job. This needs to stop! People wake up!! Look at what is going on out there. If we get another four years of Obama, then kiss the American dream goodbye! Lastly, stop watching these rediculous liberal stations that feed out garbage. If you want the truth, you need to look for it thoroughly and read it. Read, read and read some more. Don't believe everything that the public stations tell you.
And then there is Eddie Munster, VP candidate, who had to file an Amended tax return for 2011 because he "inadvertantly" forgot to include $61,000.00 of Income from a "corporation".
Did he forget, or did he amend it and include it AFTER he was the VP nominee? Geez, maybe I should include those 60K in case they find out. WOW!

Anti-Obama African-American Pastors Have Deep Conservative Ties
USA Today | By Aamer Madhani
Posted: 08/12/2012 9:01 am Updated: 08/12/2012 9:01 am
(RNS) Since the Rev. William Owens launched his national campaign in May calling on African-Americans to withdraw their support of President Obama because of his stance on gay marriage, he has claimed the backing of 3,700 black clergy and touted his organization as predominantly Democratic.
But Owens and his group, the Coalition of African-American Pastors, are drawing criticism from black leaders and the political left who note Owens' long-standing ties with GOP politicians. They charge CAAP misrepresents itself as a nonpartisan grass-roots organization when it is actually backed financially by right-leaning conservative groups.
A FRONT FOR NEOCANS, WHODA THUNK IT!!!!!!
"CAAP bears all the hallmarks of a front group," said Michael Keegan of the liberal People for the American Way. "Owens presents himself and his group as non-partisan or, if anything, leaning in the direction of the Democrats. That makes him more useful to religious-right groups and easier to book on cable news."
A FRONT FOR NEOCONS, WHODA THUNK IT!!!!!!{correction of above}
Notsosure10: FYI, the 1040X is used when you need to amend or change your tax return. I'm pretty sure you wanted to say 1040EZ, but maybe you did mean 1040X.
When you decide to insult someone, it helps to know what you are talking about.
You must be a Republican, no brains and voting for Romney.
ZOMBIES for Romney/Ryan 2012 !!!
Ideological Purity or National Principled Concessions! Plug your political religion (party) in here:_______— or ___________.
Are the attributes listed below what you or your party should aspire to? Are these the attributes our country should aspire to?
Compromise as weakness!
Loss of civil liberties in the name of "security"!
A fundamentalist belief in any scriptural literalism!
Denying science!
Unmoved by facts!
Undeterred by new information!
A hostile fear of progress!
The demonization of education!
The need to control women's bodies!
Severe xenophobia!
Tribal mentality!
Intolerance of dissent!
Preemptive war!
Remote controlled war!
Pathological hatred of U.S. government!
Folks we need to come together as Americans so that we can restore our country back to what our fore-fathers had envisioned for an enduring successful nation. No outside country will destroy our country, only we the people can kill our democracy from within if we allow it. We have let money, greed and the corrupt controllers of money detour our evolution as a moral planetary leader! Both political parties are complicit. If that makes you angry then do something about it!
When Benjamin Franklin left Independence Hall after the second drafting of the Constitution of the United States he was approached by a women on the street, the women asked Mr. Franklin, what manner of government have you bequeathed us? and Franklin said a Republic mam, if you can keep it!
The responsibility of a country is not in the hands of a privileged few, we are strong and we are free from tyranny as long as each one of us remembers his or her duty as a citizen whether it is to report a pot hole at the top of your street, lies in the State of the Union Address, or illegal Executive orders that take our civil liberties away, speak out, speak truth to power to all political parties, ask those questions, demand that truth! Democracy is not a free ride folks, but this is where we live and if we do our jobs, this is where our children will live! Our Government is us, We The People! Let us remove the hijacked negative aspects of our political parties and join proudly together to keep our country strong! Our founders provided the frame work, the question is do we love our country enough to reclaim it from the Federal Reserve? United We Stand, Divided we Fall! May your God Bless America!
Here is Barack Obama's Main Accomplishments
Barack Obama's Main Accomplishment:
Signed the National Defence Authorization Act (NDAA) Bill into Law allowing any US citizen to Be Detained WITHOUT trial (A federal Court Blocked it in May because it Violates the Constitution, but Obama is not trying to get it UNBLOCKED!). (Source: )
He has Killed HUNDREDS of Innocent people (Including 3 American Citizens) in Pakistan and Yemen with Drone Strikes (He’s Ordered even more drone strikes than Bush!).
The rate of National Debt under George Bush was Around $60 Billion a Month. Under Obama, it’s been $190 Billion a Month, so that would be Nearly $600 Per US Citizen (Thanks Obama!)
Obama Care: Page 22. MANDATES, The Government will Audit Book of ALL Employers who Self Insure. Page 50, Section 152, Health Care WILL be Provided to ALL Non US Citizens, Illegal or otherwise. Page 126, Lines 22-25, Employers Must Pay for Their Part time Employees Health Care AND Their Families. Page 127, Lines 1-16, The Government WILL Tell you How much Money you can Make.
Obama has By-passed Congress to Enable the DREAM Act (Unconstitutional to By-Pass Congress, and the Illegals he allowed to become Legal Citizens has Committed over 19 Murders and Over 142 Sex crimes).
Obama Claims he Campaigned in 57 States (Maybe he wasn’t Born in this Country?).
Has anyone seen the Republican party's newest rising star, McCain's top choice, Sarah Palin? Or was she flushed down the toilet where she is suited the most.
What a shame... someone who was once considered to be an elder statesman has been reduced to the shell of a man he once was...
...BTW take that twit of a daughter home with YOU - she is as big of a shill as YOU!
You ARE an idiot! Find that rock and return!
McCain is bitterness personified. He has completely lost his independence and maverickness. Now he is a bitter old man with no new ideas. A big nothing.
Feisty's posts are exactly what her logo says they are.
Has anyone seen a person of color yet in the sea of white bloated faces?
Cause, I sure haven't!
Talk about playing to the pale, male & stale base!
Good luck with that strategy.... lmao!
See all of you racists in November! ;o))
Feisty, i have to disagree with you. McCain is who he always was. He is a soldier who will take orders, no matter how distasteful he finds them. The 'maverick' label was a carefully designed ploy that ended up backfiring because of too many years of following orders from above. His time was in 2000, and has passed.
i also like Meghan McCain, mainly due to her book and other writings, but i'm a sucker for a good read...
John McCain ... I used to actually LIKE you but you went all birther with the "American" leadership. Now I disrespect everything you ever stood for and wanted for this country. No wonder you sold your candidacy out to Sarah ... you've nothing in you anymore. SHAME ON YOU!!!
If you were watching MSNBC’s coverage of the Republican National Convention in Tampa on Tuesday night, you might believe Feisty's assertions, since missing from the coverage was nearly every ethnic minority that spoke during Tuesday’s festivities.
In lieu of airing speeches from former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis, a black American; Mia Love, a black candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Utah; and Texas senatorial hopeful Ted Cruz, a Latino American, MSNBC opted to show commentary anchored by Rachel Maddow from Rev. Al Sharpton, Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes and Steve Schmidt.
Kannin,
Feisty's remarks were directed towards the delegates and audience. Not at those that were specifically chosen to speak.
4 more for 44 -
P.S. Thank you GOP for writing all of the President's ads!
(and to my post above .... you've nothing in common with *me anymore .... I was just so damn mad that someone that stood up on the floor to single out Bachmann stooped to a stupid stump speech!)
Why do the liberals think that their misery is tied to someone else's success?
Fiesty Red Head: YOU are a certified MORON!
"Why do the liberals think that their misery is tied to someone else's success?"
Maybe because the' someone else' shipped THEIR job overseas so THEY (someone else) could have even more? Hell, I don't know- just a guess.......
Amen Michael...(if I'm allowed to say amen with this group)
Kan, Didn't miss anything with Davis's speech, somewhat vitriolic in nature, but that was to be expected. The republicans will chew him up and then spit him out when he no longer has any use. The other folks you mentioned haven't a clue, and frankly don't care, I only saw about 4 brown faces among the sea of white, so an all inclusive political party the republicans are not.
Obama 2012
"Attack dog", then what's Biden?, an attack rabid dog?
Parrot - If blacks, as a group, mostly choose to support the black candidate, it is their prerogative. Their absence says more about their own preferences than the Republican's. I'm sure we will see many white faces at the DNC.
Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL
I don't know if you are even aware - but to me you appear to be the racist. You seem to be obsessed with white people. I've been watching the convention off and on and I've seen black, hispanic, white - are you colorblind by chance or just racist against whites? How about trying to make an intelligent, factual, and relevant statement one of these days? It would be refreshing and at least I'd know you actually put some thought into your post.
@Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL
Well, I don't blame you, considering there are only few black folks there.
I have watched it and I find it funny the camera has to search left and right and when they see someone black, there is a slight zoom to focus on that person.
Me and my buddy have a drinking game whenever they focus on a black. At the end of the game, neither of us are drunk at all.
Feisty,
That's funny coming from you "the queen of mean". By the way the people of color who spoke were ignored by the major media outlets...like the ones you watch and depend on to feed you their "truth". Shows you could not be bothered to tune into CSPAN for uninterrupted coverage...you just had to depend on other empty talking heads spewing their racist garbage. One of which was fired by the way and justifiably so. By the way it was the Republican President Lincoln that ended slavery...against the designs of the Southern Democrats. I love how you call the kettle black. Your posts are the most hateful, bigoted, disrespectful, filthy mouthed and intolerant utterances on this blog. Try listening to some positive messages for a few hours a day before you post...it just might help.
I know is it after dark in Chicago so you better get back in the house maybe in a steel bathtub before the regulars start their drive by shootings. This is of course courtesy of the professional community organizer and his bumbler Rahm "I have no idea how to lead" Emanuel. Keep down and keep safe. Try to drop a positive post once in a while.
Republican foreign policy is "either you're with us our you're against us.
Not responsible enough to file taxes on time , not responsible enough to be President.
Obama/Biden 2010
Chuck Todd did a piece last night. "GOP Putting Minorities In Front At Convention To Appear Diverse". What struck me as most telling and interesting... were delegates from PR, American Samoa and Guam. They were strategically placed up front to represent ethnic diversity. Yet, the true irony of their placement was that these delegates have absolutlely no voting power! I guess that's how the GOP (Gods of Pretend) prefer their tan and brown constituency; like PA and OH... without a vote.
Really Why? When did he ever miss a filing deadline?
Lots of racist comments coming from the Progs on this post, with Fiesty being the queen racist.
The only possible problem with Feisty's comment is that she claims to live in nearly 90% white Roselle, IL.
Kannin,
He did not miss his 2011 deadline as far as I know but he filed an extension, The guy has a tax attorney to do this stuff for him I'm sure. I filed and payed my taxes on time, didn't you? It's the most basic of American responsibilities and he can't even meet those responsibilities in a timely fashion. It not like his is doing them himself or does not have the money to pay them, he is just irresponsible. Come on its almost 2013.
Not responsible enough to file taxes on time , not responsible enough to be
President.
Obama/Biden 2012
Fiesty - I saw plenty "people of color" (who's the racist?). I know, I know - those cameras move so darn fast, it's hard to keep up.
KEEP IT CLASSY MSNBC!!! HAHAHA!!
Why?
The filing deadline for an extension on personal tax returns is six months. So Mitt has until October 15, 2012 to pony up.
Chuck-414139
Please tell me where you got these exact figures?
You idiots...blacks aren't the only minority in America...and why aren't there many there...because they themselves say they voted for Obama simply because he was black...sounds openly racist to me. As far as those of you talking crap about the repubs...please tell me what the hell has the Obooma admin done the past four years? Let me educate...they oversaw the second installment of the largest monetary give away to the rich in our nation's history (which Obooma voted to approve as a senator and the dems could have reversed when he took office). He approved a a $15 billlion (which turned into a $23 billion) bailout of GMC and Chrysler allowing both companies to destroy the pension plans of school districts and city employees all over America by voiding all of the shares of stock they owned while allowing both companies to file new ipos selling only to a select group of investors (rich people basically). They have overseen the highest number of unemployed and underemployed Americans in the history of our nation and increased the national debt to $15 trillion while flooding the economy with cheap cash for the banks to swallow up and hord. Oh and one more little thing...Obuttheadcare...the largest single tax increase in the nation's history. When he was elected he said he would bring change, but all he's done is take all of my spare change. And now you idiots are telling me I should be more worried about what Mitt is doing with HIS money than what Obooma is doing with mine? All I can say about that is @&$$#%##%%#%}#{^++=*^%#%^%#*+¥£€!!!!!
This election is down to one basic.Can the 1% buy the American Presidency?In my opinion it can,even if it shouldn't.The big money is telling us to do as they order and vote for the Oligarchs.who want us to return to the ancient times when we were only expected to stand to attention,cap in hand and say yes sir no sir whatever you wish sir! We Liberals will never agree with that and for those of you who hate us,or who are required to hate us, there are still some Liberal Conservatives left even though the Tea Party has been successful in stilling their voices at the present time,not that I am claiming to be one.I am a Liberal Democrat and to those of you who profess to hate us,.look in a Dictionary for the meaning of the word Liberal pol. Liberal Conservative.
I don't agree with many of McCain's positions but, hell, at least he is honorable and didn't base his campaign on lies and innuendo....
I've learned over the years that the people who don't like you don't need any encouragement. That's why they are your enemies.
...so, once again, for everyone keeping score at home...
...President Obama takes action in Egypt = BAD! ...President Obama doesn't take action in Syria = ALSO BAD!
Damn, I wish you guys would make up your minds.
Obama's foreign policies is whole lot better than the Cheney Bush policies.
The 'maverick", who now claims he never considered himself to be a maverick (even though his campaign bus was called the "maverick express" and he wrote a book called "education of a maverick"--- hey, maybe he just forgot) is now just a bitter old man.
He lost all credibility when he walked the streets of Baghdad in a kevlar helmet, with a flak jacket, a full troop detail with 2 (two!) copters circling overhead as security...all the while proclaiming that "The streets are safe."
Please try and remember how many houses you own and retire. Your time passed in 2000.
What friends was McCain speaking of, Pakistan, Saudi, Russia, China? Third World War in Syria, I suppose he'll try and lead the charge. Poor thing, he was rather pitiful in '08 but I'll give him an atta boy on telling that old lady that the President was a Christian, obviously more spine than romney. Does anyone have a clue what McCain means by "true to our values," what is that.
Obama 2012
All he wants is war. War with Iraq. Stay in Iraq(even after we had been asked to leave). War with Afghanistan - and stay there forever as well. War with Iran. War with Libya. War with Syria. War with Russia. War is his answer to every international problem. He no longer has any regard for American lives and treasure.
That SENILE OLD MAN should be forced to put on a uniform and dropped over there with BACON AND PORKCHOPS hanging out of his pockets!!
McCain laid it out plain and simple.
a vote for Romney Ryan is a vote for military action in Iran and Syria. Wow...
I only got one thing out of his speech.
Be affraid! Be very affraid! The world is plunging into darkness! They're all out to get us!
Are we going to fall for that line again?
Nah. Nobody out to get us.
Take a trip to Manhattan sometime- there's a pretty big construction site there- just because.
Maybe ride out to that field in Pennsy- that stands for nothing.
Cause, you know- everybody is our friend.
Good grief.
Why would all of you watch the prez bow down to muslims diss our arm forces and spend OUR money on vacations?
So, NO JO- is it a message about LOVE, or RESPECT? I was kind of confused last night......
Shhh...Eddie Munster is on. I need to go get my hip waders on......
drive-by ...
That or your skates so you can sit and go around with the circle of lies he spews! (Great post by the way!)
Drive by...I'd bet you've been confused most of your life.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz, just hobbled off the stage - bringing back "Old Ghosts" from Elections Past, was a sad and sorry tragedy for the GOP. It's like looking at an "Elephant Graveyard".
GOP = Goodbye Old Pharts
Or, Grumpy Obsolete Party
What exactly did this RINO do to be considered a 'war hero'? NOTHING at all. He graduated at the bottom of his class. He single handedly nearly destroyed the USS Forrestal, killing fellow sailors due to his irresponsible acts of stupidity.
He lied about his broken arms. He said the Viet Cong, then the Viet People broke his arms. The truth is he was so afraid as he was headed for a crash that when he ejected his arms were NOT inside the matrix as required by the training program and they were broken when he hit the sides of the cockpit.
He trashed his first wife in favor of a younger, richer, thinner and not disfigured woman. His first wife was seriously injured in an auto accident. She never told him while he was in the comfort of the Hanoi Hilton. He was repulsed by her when he returned.
He immediately began skirt chasing and ended up with a Beer baroness with LOTS of cash.
Sid, our loser navy Pilot, never held a job in commerce or industry. He has always sucked on the teat of the free lunch provided by the US government.
He has no business sense but is good at sniffing out available 'skirts'. This poor excuse for a 'hero' should do the honorable thing and resign so a real Republican governor can fill the seat with a REAL Republican.
Shame on McCain. He may have deliberately thrown the Presidential Race but there is no proof YET that is the case.
He is and has always been over rated. He played footsie with Keating and barely escaped with his Senate seat.
Time for this Neanderthal to go !
TERM LIMITS would have spared us from this loser !
Term limits fro the Supreme Court as well!
I don't know why McCain needs to address foreign policy. Obama has already hung himself in that area. His amateur, fumbling attempts at diplomacy have been an embarrassment to himself and to the US.
First, he publicly and loudly affirmed his support for a Palestinian state, even going so far as to demand that Israel should return to their pre-1967 borders! This had the predictable effect of encouraging the Palestinians to seek their own separate state. Then, he had to order his Ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, to veto any UN resolution that might create an actual Palestinian state, in order to salvage the Jewish vote.
Most presidents (not all) have had sense enough to be consistent in the messages they send to the international community. Reversals, like Obama's, only create an atmosphere of uncertainty and distrust. One can easily imagine how Obama's blundering could have started a violent increase in Middle East hostilities.
Totally wrong,Ditto Head......
Totally wrong Bill??
I said "First, he publicly and loudly affirmed his support for a Palestinian state." His exact words in his Cairo speech were "America will not turn our backs on the legitimate Palestinian aspiration for dignity, opportunity and a state of their own," How can you read that as "totally wrong"?
What are you talking about? Romney is frothing at the mouth to bomb the hell out of two rather waerk natioin states, just because their leadership doesn't fall in line with the rest of the puppets of international finance, and that is what our govt and leaders are, just big puppets for global financial interests. Libya was debt free before our orchestrated "revolution", and Syria will be no better. The whole thing is a rather intricate scame. The CIA and State Dept help creat trouble for a target nation's govt. Creat a crisis that paints the target regime as being "evil", then call for sanctioin, then bomb the hell out of them. Qaddafi was going to create a Pan African Aid Bank to replace the IMF and World Bank, which were screwing over sub Sharan African nations bigtime with hefty interest rates for the enormous loans that were forced on that nation's leadership. Read John Perkins Diary of an Economic Hitman to see how that part of the scam works. The CIA thorugh their NGOs stirs up trouble with making contacts with any disaffected minoirty to start a color coded revolution. When full blown civil war comes about, help the rebels with air and seapower and training, along with money and weapons. After the smoke clears get sweet deals for the military industrial complex to supply the new regime with weapons and for multinational corporations to buy up factories, etc for pennies on the dollar. The 1% folks will make a killing, while hundreds of thousands or millions will lose their lives, and the US will go into an economic freefall from the debt crisis breaking our backs. Wow what a nice foreign policy the GOP has. Trouble is it is the same fp that the Dems seem to have also, but they try to put a nicer face on it.
Kannin
Don't confuse them with the facts.
Kannin, I do agree with you, but face it, the face of the GOP is WAR, and the masses know that war equals more debt. The GOP wants to cut SS and Medicare or privatize it, but want to keep increasing defense spending? For what? Israel has 4 nuclear subs that are now fitted with Popeye nuke tipped missiles, with another one that has been delivered from Germany, and one more still being made. Israel has the largest airforce in the world, and with our help, can fly circles around any airforce in the entire ME hands down. Iran is equipped with mostly Nixon/Ford/Carter era aircraft and even older Soviet tanks. In terms of China, why the hell do we want to cause trouble with the only country that is propping up our economy? Russia, is a minor creditor, but why the hell do we want to make them a belligerent? I guess the bankers and the military industril complex folks want to make one last "killing" before the @!$%# hits the fan. People are sick of war, they are tired of it. Obama and Hilary like to jerk folks around and in the end come off two faced and dangerously ambiguous like you say, but Romney is just bombastic like Bush and MR Bombombomb Iran" McCain.
Robert, I've been reading your posts and trying to make sense of them (it does appear that you have a point to make) but this comment struck me weird ....
So, me, being that silly little libtard Democrat looked it up. Most of Israel's aircraft have been obtained by the United States and while they might have the best trained (given the amount of planes and pilots - you get to do the math) they certainly are not the largest Air Force. I can hear HAFB's revelry every morning and live amongst a LOT of AF pilots and crew, as such, I certainly beg to differ with your post(s).
And just what did your boy blunder do on his first trip a broad? If you don't remember here's a start Pis off England right off the get go, went Israel,pissed off the palestinians, then off to poland and what did he do rther pissed them off to.
I wouldn't put too much stock in the man who said we would be in Iraq for the next 100 years.

If we get to election day without a major terror attack, then technically, President Obama will be the first president to have kept us safe during a first term since 9-11. Of course, on 9-12-09, he had officially kept us safer longer than Bush did. Bin Laden is also dead. What is it exactly Republicans don't like or don't feel safe about with regard for Obama's foreign policy? Remember, world peace is great, unless you're a defence contractor.
For right wingers, foreign policy really isn't about peace.
That logic is so tortured that it should be taken out and shot as an act of mercy...
The GOP is all about money and the moneyed elites of the American NE. The entire reason it was created was to break the back of the South under the guise of ending slavery and bring about crony capitalism. The gross corruption that is rampant on Capitol Hill and the WH can be traced to The GOP and their ties to the railroads.
Prophetslayer
Please quit giving this man credit for Bin Laden. It happened on his watch - it was the military that did it and they are the ONLY ones who should be mentioned and given credit when it comes to capturing Bin Laden. I also really wish you all would quit acting like you know exactly what EVERYONE who consider themselves an independent/conservative wants or feels. That would be the same as me doing that about all independants/liberals - I know you all don't feel the same about EVERYTHING. Try to be realistic when posting your comments. It would be really nice to see some intellingent, non-outrageous posts.
Prophet Slayer and YOU are really void of any brain waves... LUCKILY Obama won't be around for another four years...OR YOU WOULD EXPERIENCE TOTAL BLACKOUT for this country! DO NOT know how your type lived to your current age...you are so stupid that you can't even find your way to the bathroom!
So why do all the Southerners keep voting for them? Because they are comfortable with the idea of being serfs?
Eric - You are sinking to their level ...
So failed 'Operation Eagle Claw' just happened on Jimmy Carter's watch? Wow, so by your definition, "it was the military that did it and they are the ONLY ones who should be mentioned and given credit..."
Silly republicans... tricks are for kids.
Debby, no matter how many times you and the other TP/Republicans say that President Obama did not kill bin Laden, you are wrong, wrong, wrong. The President is the Commander-in-Chief. Absolutely nothing can be done on the military front with the order from the President of the United States.
No matter what you think, no matter how you feel about our President, you are not stupid enough to believe that combat men like the Seals can just do anything they want. Debbie, you are a woman. You are smarter than that.
Prophet Slayer, you are right in your above post. I had never thought of it in those terms. Thanks.
True, but he has a ways to go to catch up to Faux News.
Debby:
Would you be saying that if Bush had given the order and got OBL when Bush was president? I highly doubt it. Nobody is ever saying that Obama personally did the act...but he did give the order and the military follows the orders of the commander-in-chief; just like they followed Bush's order to go into Iraq.
Why is it so hard for some to give credit for the order given....and criticize for not pulling the trigger. I don't hear criticism over Bush taking credit for getting rid of Al Qaeda in Iraq....he didn't pull the trigger and kill Al-Qaeda, put gets credit for eliminating several top people.
Chuck-414139 and JackieK, independent
So Chuck, you're OK with Obama taking credit for Bin Laden? If you were one of those Navy Seals, would you still be OK with that? If you asked one of those Navy Seals, what do you think their honest response to that question would be? Just think about it - I don't think that last question would be too hard for anybody to answer, do you? And Jackie, I am an Independent and I absolutely would be saying the same thing no matter who was in the office. My daughter serves in the service - the President, no matter who that might be, does not deserve the credit for what these men and women do - they deserve the credit - they don't get much else.
slightlyold:
If he can take credit for that, HOW COME he WON"T take credit for the shape this counrty is in?
Answer me that!
slightlyold
I'm saying he needs to quit taking credit for it. I don't care who the President is - I would object to them taking credit for it. It is for the men and women who were on that mission and who did all the grunt work, intelligence work that brought about that mission and while Obama may have given the go ahead - that is all he did as Commander in Chief so let's get real about that OK? They have Generals in the field over there working on this - Obama's not there. Also - just an FYI, I'm an Independent and my being a woman has nothing to do with it and I am very intelligent - thank you very much. Oh, and my daughter serves in the military so maybe I'm sensitive to the fact that I feel these men and women should get the credit for their work - not politicians - Democrat or Republican.
The Romney that McCain bashed as the worst candidate to run against Obama, questioned his refusal to release tax returns and his abysmal record as governor now thinks he's Americas savior? Or is this a different Romney?
Larry-367607
I have to laugh at all of you butt heads... What Secret Prize are you hoping to find in his taxes.???
What happens when he Shows his taxes and there is NOTHING there is nothing wrong?
What will it be then... He won't tell you the brand of underware he buys?
I use to be really proud of My Country, But when I read the Swill that you guys post here it actually makes me sad... to Know that we are heading for a major cliff and you lemmeing just keep marching on, following the pipper...
When you reach the edge of that cliff and are told to Jump, It is going to be TOO LATE to turn back.
I know myself and 1000's of others will not be on that march.... And after you are gone, then we can have our country back and FIX IT.
So Follow your leader and Please, Please, All of you... Please "Go Quitely Into That Night".
TimesRunning OUT: WELL SPOKEN.... unfortunately the bulk of the people here are so ignorant, that they will follow Obama without question. They are VOID of ANY abilities to comprehend facts and make unbiased decisions!
Times: Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit is it? As my post clearly noted McCain and other republican primary candidates bashed Romney for not releasing more returns and criticizing his record as governor. I don't know, why did Romneys opponents during the primary debates bash Romney on tax returns, Romney care and his poor record as governor? Maybe because they like many of us consider them issues.
He's a flip-flopper as the puppet GWB would say.
I understand this.. But ya Know, I am getting ready to move to Canada this winter... And while I am up tehre if bo gets reelected, I will almost laugh at what is going on down here. If it was not for the truly inoccents.
P.S. This move has been in the works for almost a year and a half.
Larry,
Mitt has not even finished his 2011 taxes yet, its almost 2013. A little irresponsible don't you think? I did my taxes on time, didn't you? 1 thing you must remember he has lied about his taxes in the past and got caught remember his filings in Utah when he was running for Governor in Mass. What did he say before he got caught "trust me I'm telling the truth". If there is nothing wrong with his taxes great. But he is not responsible enough to complete his taxes on time, instead filing for an extension which raises more questions.
Not responsible enough to file taxes on time , not responsible enough to be
President.
Obama/Biden 2012
Why?-3122622
Do you think he is the only investor/businessman in this country who has not filed his taxes yet? Get real! With all his assets there's a lot to do that's why so many investors and busnessmen/women files extensions. Good Lord, with everything going on in this country is this all that you have on your mind?? How about lack of jobs, people losing their homes, the national debt?? His income taxes - really???? You scare me.
Sorry Mccain, You just killed your boy Mitt. Your boy Romney has no idea what a foreign policy is. What is wrong with you. He just took two trip about a month ago to introduce himself. wow the GOP don't know what to talk about. They just talk about the President to avoid saying what they plan on doing. Mitt and Ryan have two different views. What the heck is going on.
crystalcity
And Obama had how much foreign policy experience in 2008? He was voted in with no economic experience and no foreign experience. Really, you shouldn't be talking about what experience Romney doesn't have because of all that can be brought up about Obama when he campaigned in 2008 - and he was elected. Think about it.
Debby, your candidate got a trial run and managed to piss off the Brits, the Palestinians and the Poles. And that was just a VISIT! Think about THAT!
Layton-3733410
Typical lib...
How did he piss of the poles... By talking about the intern/murder camps they had there during WWII ... Opps sorry that what your master....
From what I heard he did not piss off the Jewish State....
While visiting Poland, Romney met with and received the endorsement of former Polish President Lech Walesa.
Speaking of foreign policy, here are a few good ones:
In March 2012, Hillary Clinton’s spokeswoman, Victoria Nuland, insisted that Israel didn’t have a capital that she could name. Then just last week, White House spokesman Jay Carney struggled to publicly identify the capital of Israel. Uncomfortably, Carney ended up giving a series of repetitive sheepish statements: “You know our policy” and “Our policy hasn’t changed.” He couldn’t say that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, but instead clung to future status negotiations talking points. Even Bill Clinton called Jerusalem Israel’s capital.
Carney reminds me of the sniveling little wimp that follows the evil proff around and always says Yes Master regardless of what is said... Hell I am suprised he can even take a Pi$$ by himself... (But for all I know bo hold is for him)
Layton-3733410
The Brits got their panties in a twist because he asked about their security for the Olympics. Someone who had handled the Utah Olympics asking another country about their security - if the Brits are touchy, that's their problem. Israel loved him so of course Palestine didn't - who do you care about more? I'm with Israel. And they loved him in Poland. So Layton, what trip are you talking about? How about YOU think about that!!
Times-Running ...
Let's start with you and by the by ... I actually post links to back up my words . . . (instead of "from what I heard")

http://www.csmonitor.com/World/terrorism-security/2012/0731/From-Iran-to-China-Romney-s-comments-in-Israel-earn-him-international-criticism
Facts first and your BS talking points ... well ... enjoy them. I prefer facts.
Layton, again, Israel was happy with him. Iran hates Israel, Iran hates us - big surprise that they weren't happy. I wasn't shocked, why were you? And China, really? Do you think we are always going to make these people happy? It's ok that Obama has alienated Israel but oh man, Mitt has pissed off Iran (our best buds) and China - what a disaster. Is that it?? That all you got? I'm disappointed. They may be facts but then there is the case of relevant or irrelevant. I wouldn't be beating your chest over this one Layton - seriously.
Vote GoP and you'll get increased defense spending and more wars. Yeah, just what we need...
everytime McCain speaks all i hear is blah blah blah, same tired BS as the rest of the teabagger morodiots.
This comment from McCain speaks volumes as to what he really thinks of Romney.
McCain is still pissed off that he lost. As for as Obama's foreign policy goes. He got Osama Bin Laden! That's more than the Republican'ts did.
Not true John. Give credit to Obama for killing Osama if you wish.
But if you do, you also have to give credit to Bush for toppling the entire fundamentalist theocracy of the Taliban in Afghanistan. Their iron grip on the country was brutal, especially against women. Bush changed that.
Changing the entire government of a country is, by any measure, a far more significant accomplishment than killing one aging straggler from the organization that President Bush defeated. Then Obama crowed that it was the "high point in my presidency!"
In fairness, I agree with him – it was the high point in his otherwise-failed presidency.
I hate to break it to you Kannin but the Taliban are still alive and well. They recently beheaded some folks. Bush's major error was diverting to Iraq and letting the Taliban reassert control. Then we had to go back and finish what should have been finished before. His foreign policy blunders cost us billions and thousands of lives. There was no exit plan.
And I hate to break it to you SF, but the Taliban no longer rule Afghanistan. The following quote from http://www.afghan-web.com/woman/ should help enlighten you:
During the rule of the Taliban (1996 - 2001), women were treated worse than in any other time or by any other society. They were forbidden to work, leave the house without a male escort, not allowed to seek medical help from a male doctor, and forced to cover themselves from head to toe, even covering their eyes. Women who were doctors and teachers before, suddenly were forced to be beggars and even prostitutes in order to feed their families.
Since the fall of the Taliban in late 2001, many would agree that the political and cultural position of Afghan women has improved substantially. The recently adopted Afghan constitution states that "the citizens of Afghanistan - whether man or woman- have equal rights and duties before the law". So far, women have been allowed to return back to work, the government no longer forces them to wear the all covering burqa, and they even have been appointed to prominent positions in the government.
I agree. The Taliban were awful and they are no longer in power. But they haven't gone away.
SF - and I agree with you "they haven't gone away." In fact it looks like the Taliban are already anticipating NATO's departure, so they can take their country back into the dark ages. It seems likely that the Taliban will once again establish their brutal tyranny over Afghanistan. They will once again provide a safe haven for Muslim terrorists. And they will once again build their suicide bombs and plan yet more attacks on the civilized world. What a waste.
It is, perhaps, small comfort to realize that the citizens of the country who refused to fully support the NATO forces will be back under the oppressive boot heel of the Muslim extremists. Maybe they will regret their cowardice.
I'm sure their women will.
john-1305590
Da_m - when will you all get it through your heads that Obama did not get Bin Laden. Being Commander in Chief doesn't mean you did the work!! The military personnel and ONLY the military personnel got Bin Laden and NOBODY else should ever claim responsibility for it. So stop dishonoring the military men and women who did catch Bin Laden by bringing Obama's name into it. Geez!
More like Bush, asleep at the wheel from the moment he took the oath up and through 9/11/2001.
If anybody should get any credit it's the puppet master Cheney. OK, I don't really believe that, I just don't want to get shot in the face by a drunk.
Barack Obama has done more damage to our nation's economy & is causing more widespread misery & jobs than all our natural disasters combined
Yeah and the guy before had nothing to do with anyone of that! Just keep telling that to yourself.
bush wrecked the economy in case you forgot.
"....is causing more widespread misery & jobs....."
Uh......Hello, .Sarah- is that YOU??
For all you Republications that think Obama has not fixed the country! Just remember Bush was the one that but us in all the mess we are in. 4 years for Obama is not enough time to fix 8 years of Republication war fare and mistreatment of our great country. We do not need to be the worlds police dogs. Lets fix our medicare, unemployment, job creations, without going to war with ever country that doesn’t meet our standard.
mother, things perking up here in Ft. Myers area, my 16 year old just got a part-time job after school, whoo hoo. Sunday paper jammed packed with ads, home sales up, gas manageable. We are starting to do better, I'm sure your disappointed that people are starting to find work. Tough.

Yep, He has been in there long enough
That's what a successful indoctrination looks like. He was probably a follower of Jim Jones too.
Stop smoking crack.
McCain? hows Sarah Palin looking John? its not easy to get out of a coffin to give a speech, he and Bin Laden have something in common,they are both dead.
Real nice comment. You are an immature jerk.
Thats rigth ! McCain was a prisioner from the vietnamese and the reason why don't kill him is because they found him all ready brain dead !
joe donahue
Regardless of your politics, this man gave years of his life in a Vietnamese prison for YOUR freedom. Show some respect.
baco78
Again, a stupid comment from someone who is free because of this man's sacrifice. You may not like this man, but he sacrificed a piece of himself for this country so put your stupidity to the side for a minute and show some respect.
Debby,what does that SENILE OLD MAN being in a vietnamese prison have to do with OUR FREEDOM?!! We were fighting the battles for another country,not ours!! And he WASN'T a hero,that's BULLCRAP!!He is a CRAZY WAR LOVER like the rest of the IDIOT republicans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do I see bottom feeding, @!$%# eating, low life liberals being INTOLERANT??? Doesn't surprise me at all, liberals don't respect themselves, how could we expect them to respect anyone else?
Thank goodness, Mc Cain was not elected in 2008, or I guess we would be in two more wars with Iran and Syria!
According to Mc Cain, and his Republican leader followers, we cannot afford to borrow more money to fund Medicaid and Medicare for the poor and our seniors but we could borrow another $10 trillion as Bush did to fund two additional wars!
I am glad the Obama Administration stayed at a distance with Syria and tried to push sanctions. Since Russia and China refused to join us in sanctions against the Syrian Government. I think The United States needs a different approach, other than just military and I am glad that the Obama Administration is holding out hope for something different. I think we need to hit any Russian weaponry and military equipment manufacturers in Syria and push international sanctions.
While the GOP wants to continue giving our own weaponry and military manufacturer’s money in government contracts, as our two wars are winding down, we need the Obama Administration to give Russia and China the message that sometimes there are circumstances where The United States puts its foot down about money and contracts.
To ALL of you Obama supporters and undecided , go see the documentary "2016 Obama's America" , that will surely open up your eyes , WIDE !
D'Souza is the right wing version of Michael Moore. In other words, there's not a lot of truth there.
Bias speculation is not something that impresses me. I'll skip that movie.
This republican propaganda movie is simply playing to the band. Democrats are no more interested in a twisted right wing puff piece full of lies and distortions than republicans were with Michael Moores anti Bush movie. At least Moores won the Cannes film festivals best documentary award. Maybe this movie will win the redneck best picture award.
Yep Larry and Pagan: "Don't confuse me with facts, cuz my mind is already made up" - Traditional Democrats.
A good editor can slice and dice any film clip and make it say what the backer wants it to say or show. a real knee slapper barn burner, grossed 2,000,000 a real block buster. Playing to the choir.
Obama 2012
Republicans wouldn't know a fact if it bit them in the as$. Typical republican facts are birth, college and martian conspiracy theories about Obama. I'm sure you'll watch this movie many times. Next time you do make a check every time they make an accusation they can't prove and an O when it's a proven fact. See what you get.
Larry - I'll watch it once, and do your fact check, if you will too.
D'Souza is a political hack with no facts to support his mindless drivel. He makes connections that don't exist except in his own mind. I saw him on CNN and he couldn't support anything in this movie when questioned. This is just a payday for this hack. This so called movie is purely fiction just like the book is. I guess the retardlicans are to lazy to check facts and will believe anything you tell them.l
Eastside, that is SPECULATION, NOT FACT!!If that Romney gets in,are you willing to put on a uniform to fight the republicans wars?!!
I misread.
I thought the title said "McCain returns as Romney LAP Dog".
Silly America.
RON PAUL, or none at all.
When will most of you wake up..........
they let that war monger back on stage ?
Hey Leroy- they let dimwitts like Santorum and Huckabee back in the limelight, didn't they? Red meat vendors are somehow needed by these dicks. (but even they don't belive the Palin hype we were all flooded with 4 years ago now, do they?)
Leroy-344013
That man earned the right to be there by spending years in a Vietnam prison fighting for this country. How about you Leroy????? What have you done for your country lately? If it's anything less than the debilitating torture this man went through daily - shut up!
We'd be up to our necks in World War III bonds if McCain had won. Talk about deficit spending.
Wow Debby!!You keep talking about the OLD SENILE MAN being in a vietnamese prison!Is he your PAPPY OR YOUR LOVER?!! Why dont you give him a BIG KISS,He will enjoy it!!

It's called respect for those who have served our country and it makes me mad when people who haven't served don't appreciate what those gave so they could stay home and live their lives. It's pretty sad that I have to explain that to you - actually as a man, it's more pathetic that I have to explain it to you.
So far all I see is losers speaking...
Guess NBC decided not to carry Condi Rice or Governor Martinez. How else could they continue he "no minority" trope?
no, missed out Ms. Rice was just on, stupedo.
Obama 2012
Damn straight, can't leave out those token minorities.
skyparrot
Can you not make one civilized comment? Could you just try once, really hard? You know, show you have some intelligence and manners?
Apparently Faux News is rubbing off on everybody.
YashBudini
I hate to burst your ESP bubble but I watch CNN, Fox, PBS and some of the regular network channels. You got that one sooooooooooooooooo wrong but then that's what happens when you stereotype - shame on you! By the way, do you have something against making a civilized comment or was the wording too big for you?
Who cares because I already feel like his base won. President Obama kept the same policies that Dubya made that disappointed me as a United States citizen. More war and more debt so we might as well kept a republican. Although since the last election I realized that both parties serve the same interest so it doesn't matter who you vote for they are all full of **** and continue to build global communism for bankers/cooperations. America your being lied to because neither party is going to change anything because what they want is total authority over everything just like a communist.
When he commented about how little damage the BP oil spill made in the gulf I was convinced that he's really just Bush III. The Oily Bushes could not have said it better.
whizkid,
Obama has not been able to do anything because of Republican filibusters, the Democrats of this term are the most filibustered in history. The only the Republicans have voted on are 30+ abortion bills and 30+ bills to repeal health care reform, oh yea and 1 highway bill that contained 10+ pages of abortion regulation in it. For some reason these guys think they can over ride the constitution by trying to pass these bills, Just like Rand said today he is going to change the supreme court rulings, is he a supreme court judge.
McCain is a washed up old man, no where to go. Is he a hero or a turncoat that broke while captured and turned on his comrades, then refused to be released early in fear of being found out?
Jack Hines
Are you one of those paranoid conspiracy theorists? You need to get a life buddy. This is a man who gave years of his life living with daily torture for his country - ask those that were in the Hanoi Hilton with him. Are the crazies out tonight or what???
Debby,the crazies arn't out tonight!The republican IDIOTS are!!!!!!!!!!!!!
model railroad man
Well if you go along with what Jack Hines said above, I'd rather be a republican idiot - your word, not mine (although I'm an Independent) than a crazy that thinks like that. Drink your koolaid and go to bed,
What exactly did this RINO do to be considered a 'war hero'? NOTHING at all. He graduated at the bottom of his class. He single handedly nearly destroyed the USS Forrestal, killing fellow sailors due to his irresponsible acts of stupidity.
He lied about his broken arms. He said the Viet Cong, then the Viet People broke his arms. The truth is he was so afraid as he was headed for a crash that when he ejected his arms were NOT inside the matrix as required by the training program and they were broken when he hit the sides of the cockpit.
He trashed his first wife in favor of a younger, richer, thinner and not disfigured woman. His first wife was seriously injured in an auto accident. She never told him while he was in the comfort of the Hanoi Hilton. He was repulsed by her when he returned.
He immediately began skirt chasing and ended up with a Beer baroness with LOTS of cash.
Sid, our loser navy Pilot, never held a job in commerce or industry. He has always sucked on the teat of the free lunch provided by the US government.
He has no business sense but is good at sniffing out available 'skirts'. This poor excuse for a 'hero' should do the honorable thing and resign so a real Republican governor can fill the seat with a REAL Republican.
Shame on McCain. He may have deliberately thrown the Presidential Race but there is no proof YET that is the case.
He is and has always been over rated. He played footsie with Keating and barely escaped with his Senate seat.
Time for this Neanderthal to go !
Obama did't get Osama Bi Laden. The Navy Seal's Did!!!
What, is he supposed to carry out the raid and personally kill the guy too? He gave the order.
sacredfire
Maybe if he had to lead the troops by being in front of them, he wouldn't be so gung ho to get US into wars where we don't belong. The order was given by Bush, Obummer just was in office when the opportunity presented itself. I cant in good faith vote for either one of these jew puppets. My vote is for Dr. Paul
worn, is that the same bush who said in '06 "I don't know where he is, and I don't think about him," is that the one. Hmm, bush gave the order, when was that.
Obama 2012
Exactly, Obama likes to take credit for others success!
you idiot...
lol, Idiot
In other words when Bush said "Mission Accomplished" it really wasn't.
Talk about irony from this statement. Name one thing Bush did besides sleep at the wheel on 9/11?
What do you think, these guys were just flying around in a chopper one day and said wow that look like Bin ladin, landed and killed him? Months of planning and training went into this and in the end the president and his team made the call to take him out. You do remember Bin ladin was in Pakistan don't you that takes more authority to do than just a general saying get him. Where is your information coming from? Give me a web site so I can check where you got your info.
Actually he did not. It was Panetta and a couple of others who moved the ball. The Senior President Valerie Jarrett was kept out of the 'loop' because she had told barry during one of their warm milk and cookies book reading times that he should not kill a fellow mooslum as it would look bad on his resume with the moooslum world next year.
But then that may just be speculation ?
Soooo, is McCain suggesting we get involved in a boots on the ground war in Syria?
