McCain didn't say he wanted to keep troops in Iraq for a hundred years. That is a flat out lie.
You are absolutely right. He DID NOT say that at all.
umm.....sorry to tell you all this but he did say it......

YouTube - McCain: 100 years in Iraq "would be fine with me"
www.youtube.com...
YouTube - John McCain and his 100 Years War
he says a presence in Iraq for a hundred years would be fine with him.
does he really believe that U.S. troops can stay in Iraq and not get shot at ?
What he MEANT is that it would be irresponsible for a nation to attack another nation, rip down their form of government, then cut and run and leave them wide open to be taken over by someone even worse than their previous regime.
Of course, if you're so pathetic that you have to resort to slander, well, feel free to make the fallacious argument.
I guess you have to when the candidates you support talk about dodging fantasy sniper fire and support people that preach about hating white people and damning America
Someone should tell 'easynow' that we have a 'presence' in Vietnam and Korea, too, decades after the war. A handful of troops in an embassy - that's what a 'presence' is.
He's just not irresponsible like your cut-and-run Democrats (the ones that voted yes on the Iraq conflict) that take the side of the popular opinion of the time.
I do think were are headed for McCain for more than just the reasons mentioned.
The rest of the world will have to iron out its own problems for a while as we set ourselves right so we can help you all again and come to your aid when world war three breaks out, but untill then we will leave you all alone and we ask the same."......oh hwy cant it be just that easy?

I did not expect this from Ron Paul and I don't see how he can justify his stating in the race and losing the respect he has received from me and many others.
What is it that won Ron Paul your respect? If it was his ideals and policies, those haven't changed.
If you believe in Ron Paul’s message then you should want to see it carried forward as long as possible and given as much exposure as possible.
And if you believe in Ron Paul's message, why would you care if he draws votes away from McSame, or any of the other three stooges? He is diametrically opposed to both.
As to the subject at hand, I just can’t see McSame being elected as successor to the most unpopular administration ever.
He’s being run as a sure loser.
The only question is if Billary will steal the election, or worm her way into VP and then have Obama taken out, IMO.

I'm just not convinced that Americans will tollerate another stolen election. That would be 3 straight, not that the first 2 would have mattered anyway if they were in office instead. And Hill-Bama ain't worth a crap either. Don't worry. I think we'll get our "landslide" 3rd party candidate and there will be no denying his win, or they'll surely risk repercussions.
I think your whole premise is totally wrong.
You give Israel far more influence than it actually has... granted it has a significent amount but not enough to dictate the outcome of the election.
"Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that ... I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it."
Actually given the economic situition and the ever growing hostility to the war, if the Democrats ever get their act together McCain is going to have a hard time of it...
Generally speaking in bad economic times, it trumps foreign affairs in voter's minds and usually it is not kind to the party in power.
If anything we are going to see a significent drop in Republican power after November with strong Democratic gains, possibly overwhelming gains in both houses of the senate, and even if McCain does win, he will have no choice but to engage them and play along.
Dem-Rep has become a distinction without a difference.
A vote for any of the three stooges is a vote for the status quo.
If you can’t see how unattractive a candidate McSame is to the conservative base, then I can’t help you out.
A candidate that doesn’t appeal to his parties base is a sure looser.
And Dick Cheney? Can he survive another administration without a Dearth Vader Suit?
