McCain: Murtha “Has Become Too Emotional”

McCain: Murtha “Has Become Too Emotional”»

null

Appearing on Meet the Press, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) argued that Rep. John Murtha is advocating redeployment of U.S. forces – not because he believes it is in the best interest of the country – but because he has become overly emotional:

MCCAIN: I think he has become too emotional and understandably so. He goes to funerals. He goes, as many of us do, out to Walter Reed, and he sees the price of war. And I think that that has had some effect on him…

Of course, George W. Bush doesn’t go to soldiers funerals. That’s why his policy in Iraq has been so successful.

    Is John McCain a War Hero?
    The senator’s five years as a prisoner of war have been widely viewed as heroic. But as he prepares a White House bid, a small group of detractors is determined to expose him as a wartime traitor.

    The president routinely meets with wounded soldiers and the families of the fallen. Judd is lying scum. But we already knew that.


  3. Army Vet Says:

    Craig Willbanks wants you to know that John McCain–former prisoner of war, current senator, White House aspirant–is a traitor, a liar and a wimp.

    Willbanks and McCain have never met. The senator probably has never heard of this hunched-over, soft-spoken fellow who served two tours of duty in Vietnam as an Army combat engineer and now lives in a run-down apartment in Mesa.


  4. freedom is not free! Says:

    Craig Willbanks is obsessed with John McCain, and he is not alone.
    He is part of a small, nationwide movement hell-bent on convincing the rest of us that in spite of glowing accounts of McCain’s valor as a POW, Arizona’s senior senator betrayed his country by collaborating with the North Vietnamese, and has been trying to cover up that fact ever since.


  5. freedom is not free! Says:

    Willbanks’ mission: “Don’t get him elected. Cannot have . . . a traitor in the top position, giving away secrets of the United States.”

    To that end, Willbanks spends virtually all his free time retyping any Arizona Republic articles that portray the senator in an unflattering light. He intends to post them on the Web, where they’ll join a pile of documents that, Willbanks insists, proves McCain collaborated with the Communists during his five years as a POW.


  6. im4mary Says:

    I’ll take emotion over apathy any day.


  7. freedom is not free! Says:

    Willbanks has a paying job, as a bus driver for the City of Mesa. But he was recently reassigned to drive an adult day-care van. He’s excited about it; the older people will want to talk about war history, and he can give them packets of information he keeps on McCain. He’s already given out 15 or so.

    “I give them a packet, and they come back and say, ‘Well, that goddamn traitor,’” he says.


  8. John Says:

    McCain’s back to taking his orders from Bush again. Apparently we’re supposed to keep viewing soliders as expendable spare parts like the body armor we don’t give them. Every article on this site shows a recurring trend: Bush’s agenda would be massively unpopular with the the voters if Bush were open about it and allowed an honest debate on the issues.


  9. freedom is not free! Says:

    The “documents” include an article McCain wrote for U.S. News & World Report in 1973, upon his release from prison camp. In the article, McCain admits that he–like many POWs–confessed to war crimes under physical and emotional duress. There’s also a transcript of an interview POW McCain did for French television, a story about McCain that appeared in a Vietnamese newspaper and an account of an interview of McCain by a Spanish psychiatrist.

    Willbanks got these documents from retired Army Colonel Earl Hopper Sr. and his wife, Patty, who run a POW/MIA research organization from their home in Glendale. The Hoppers’ goal is to force the U.S. government to produce a full accounting of the more than 2,000 men whose bodies have not been recovered from the Vietnam War. Among those men is Earl Hopper Jr., the colonel’s eldest son.

    Willbanks and the Hoppers believe that live American soldiers were left behind at the end of the Vietnam War, and that McCain is part of the conspiracy to cover it up. McCain has long contended that there is no proof that live Americans remain in Southeast Asia. The Hoppers have gathered a motley crew of local Vietnam veterans and POW/MIA family members to assist in their crusade against McCain, and have hooked up with like-minded vets and POW kin across the country.


  10. freedom is not free! Says:

    But a few have let their ire take them even farther. A handful of POW/MIA activists are critical of McCain’s behavior during the war. They believe that John McCain did not return from Vietnam a hero. They say his own clumsiness caused his limbs to be broken as he ejected from his plummeting warplane. They claim McCain was never tortured in prison. They accuse him of collaborating with not only the North Vietnamese but with Communists in the Soviet Union and Cuba. They quote unnamed sources who say McCain had a wife and children in Vietnam.


  11. Jay Says:

    John McCain’s credibility is an issue.

    Consider today’s interview when Russert asked him whether or not Congress should be doing internal ethics investigations into those elected officials named in the Ambramoff/Scanlon investigation. He wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole, claiming he’s on some Indian gaming commission (?). What a cop out for a man that stakes his name on integrity, honor and accountability.

    When Rove and Bush geared up the smear machine in the South Carolina primaries in the runup to election 2000, and push-polled the locals with the illegitimate black baby lie, he was ruined. For him to then back Bush in 2004 was transparently craven. He has to position himself on the “right” side of the GOP money machine in order that he can count on the base in 08′. He sacrificed his honor and his families honor in the name of political expediency.

    John McCain says and does what benefits him politically and not what’s right, this has become clear (with the exception of his stance on torture). His opinion on Murtha is insignificant.

    F*ck John McCain. That said, I think he’s our next president. Ugh!

  13. Don Says:

    Some emotion from Stan Goff, who has a son in Iraq:

    An exit is not a strategy. An exit is a command.

    If the commander in chief won’t give that command, then you in Congress — if you want to salvage anything that looks vaguely like a conscience or a soul — will refuse to grant this administration another penny to continue this war. We are not hearing you when you tap dance about political “realism.” The mounting mass of corpses, that you have walked over every time you voted a cent to continue this war, is about as real as it gets. Don’t you dare ever lecture military families and veterans about realism. And don’t you doubt that we understand power.

    You may think you can respond to your careerist concerns in the face of reversing polls. You may think you can pretend to do something, that you can bewilder us into accepting half a loaf better than none.

    To the tiny handful of you in Congress who have said what we say, “Out Now!,” we commend you and thank you for your principled voices.

    To those of you who are openly supporting this criminal administration, we’ll see you in the street, and history will consign your names to the chapters about imperial bullying, comb-over machismo, and cognitive mediocrity.

  14. Suzanne Says:

    You know the Repub slime bags have been searching for a word to discredit Murtha …anything but the “C” word ( coward) because they know that doesn’t fly. By saying he’s “too emotional” they are trying to make him look weak. It’s the same thing certain men pull on women. “women are so “emotional” or “Emo” You just can’t reason with em.” Well, I don’t buy their fake compassion for Murtha….” poor Murtha, he’s just so…you know…emotional. But we respect him!!!” Bullshit. The Gop has lost it’s soul and will fight in any way they can. A lot of it has to do with claiming the “tough” card though. We are touch….not emo.

    I agree he is a total political sell out. And with everything else except your last sentence. If we all pull together, he will not be president

    Wally,

    When did Bush meet routinely with Cindy Sheehan?

    You are one sick son of a bitch, but never mind answering as as far as I am concerned you are dead meat. Go crawl in your hole with your boyfriend.


  22. I-RIGHT-I Says:

    “Of course, George W. Bush doesn’t go to soldiers funerals. That’s why his policy in Iraq has been so successful.”

    I remember when Bill Clinton went to a funeral; probably of someone he had killed. He was yucking it up with one of his toadies until he saw the camera…a sad look and a tear appeared two frames later.

    I’d respond to the remark about Bush’s responsibilities, I guess the President of the Untited States should be forced to attend each and every funeral of the men under his command but the fact is there’s nothing to say to someone who’d write something so foolish and hateful.

    I will say this about that coward and traitor John Murtha. My guess is he doesn’t get to attend near as many funerals of dead warriors as he’d like. My guess is the families have him bared as they don’t want to have to look at the face of the man who energetically supports the Sunni Ba’athist scum who killed their hero.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t being a good conservatives like those two make you think twice about the family values they preach? I mean, sure they are two, complete, conservative dipshits just like me; and yes, they have never served in the military; but so what? I mean, at least they aren’t afraid to say shit when they have a mouthful.

  56. wwallace Says:

    Spudge,

    Nobady claimed Saddam was directly involved in 9/11.

  57. Joe Sixpack Says:

    Well, I hate to disappoint you, wwallace, but I retired from the US Army as a 1stSgt. Among my former units were the 173rd Airborne (Pathfinder), 193rd Bde (Panama), 173rd Bde in Alaska, Drill Instructor at Ft. Dix, NJ. My last unit was with the 8th Inf Reg. of the 4th Division (Mech).

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but now its you and I-RIGHT-I’s turn to brag a little. I mean, us righwing conservative warhawks should speak up a little here against all the lying cowards and traitors.

    or

    Did Saddam have nothing to do with 9/11?”

    Yes, definitely.

    Since we didn’t liberate Iraq based on a direct connection to 9/11, the question is irrelevant.

    The Alliance Rove ,Cheney , Rummy who’s grand design for the country is to change back to time of Mc Kinley ,back to a laissz faire econommy , are not about to let Mc Caine ruin their Grandiose Plan .Aside from the oil issue that is the foremost issue why we are in Iraq and Allito is part of that plan . Why hell let’s shoot little boys in the back , for a 10 dollar theft and let the Kenny Lays off the hook with millions .


  61. Cindy Sheeham Says:

    What Irks me is these two bit prostitutes in Iraq profiteering from this War.
    I.E. Wallace paying them?


  62. Don Says:

    wwallace,

    I used to be a chicken-hawk, when I was a lot younger and volunteered to go to a place called Vietnam. Then I woke up. I saw a clumsy destructive foreign military force (us) trying to impose our will and our ways on another culture, one which few (or none) of us really understood. And then I saw the lies that were made trying to cover up this ignorance, which is a human trait, we all do it on occasion. But the difference is that an ignorant government (an oxymoron) makes a policy of lying, and they do it to make themselves and their friends rich on the ‘inconsequential’ corpses of others. Innocent others.

    So here we are in Iraq, deja vu all over again. The government lies because they don’t have a clue. Here’s some extracts from a News Briefing with Lt. Gen. Martin Dempsey, commander, Multinational Security Transition Command in Iraq (MNSTC-I) Friday, December 2, 2005

    Lieutenant General Martin Dempsey is the commander of the Multinational Security Transition Command in Iraq, and as such, he and his organization are responsible for assisting the Iraqi government in the development, organization, training, equipping, sustaining the Iraqi security forces.

    Q: General, Tom Bowman with the Baltimore Sun. General Abizaid said in the spring that the Iraqi forces could take the lead by the end of 2005, and then he later amended it to say that maybe the spring or summer of 2006 they could take the lead. And now, this week with the National Strategy for Victory in Iraq that was released, it talks here about in the short term, you’ll be standing up security forces, and then in the medium term, you’ll be, quote, “in the lead, defeating terrorists.” How do you define the medium term? How many years off would that be?

    GEN. DEMPSEY: Well, I’m not really exactly familiar with how we translate calendar years into short and midterm. I can tell you what my part of it is, and that is to build the force that then goes into the field and begins to perform, but there’s a performance aspect as well. It’s not just sticking it out there. It’s got to actually be able to perform. And so there’s a much more holistic answer to that question.

    Q: Sir, this is the National Strategy for Victory in Iraq that the president released this week. Have you seen it? It says medium term, Iraqi forces are in the lead. I’m just asking you to define that.

    GEN. DEMPSEY: Yeah, sure. I did see it. I got it yesterday when it was released, and I have not yet made sure that I completely understand the time horizons. But I’m sure that the definitions in there are consistent with the definitions we’ve been using over here. What you’re asking me for is dates, and I’m not prepared to give you those.

    Spudge,
    To keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome can lead to insanity! YOU must IGNORE I-D-I-O-T-S!!! Their ignorance can lead to symptoms of dillusion that they actually are making a VALID point!

    I CHALLENGED I-WRONG, gave him ALL of my info, EVEN created a spot for him at SILL, and he wimped out…I’d beat his ass and then play some basketball to get a REAL challenge, because he is clearly weak and INFERIOR to me in HONOR and CREED of being a man!

    Wwallace claims to be married (knowing what frustration would be in that frigid relationship) and it is IRONIC that he/she/it has NEVER served ONE DAY in the military and claims to know what a WAR is and/or who wants to win or lose it!

    If you RESPOND to these pests, they keep coming around…If you IGNORE them, then they call you names to avoid the facts. I refuse to respond to COWARDS who talk about military service and have NEVER served…

    To me, that is the ULTIMATE insult. “If” they had a clue about those who are serving and helping the military men and women in the ARMER FORCES, then they would not be calling you names and questioning your credibility!

    I talk about BUSH, but I NEVER insult the people who serve, because unlike those who INSINUATE they know…Some of us here actually do know the TRUE DEAL about combat!


  67. IraqVet Says:

    Okay…

    BUSH ~~~~~> FUNERALS?

    SIMILAR to…

    OIL ~~~~~~~> WATER!

    NEVER gonna happen! BUSH is an IDIOT and does not want to face these families. He gives a speech to the group, and then darts out like a thief in the night!

    TOO EMOTIONAL??? Hmmmm… I guess it would be easier to sit and sanitize yourself to the horrors of the deaths you cause, only to go to the Rose Garden and say how bad you feel about the families losses…Forget the fact that A LOT of familes have REBELLED against him and are asking for STRAIGHT answers that HE (BUSH) clearly doesn’t have…

    McCain seems to have selective amnesia, because wasn’t it one of his campaign pledges to do more for the Vets and the BUSH administration demolished his ass with his sentimentality towards Vietnam and his POW record? So, now it is wrong to have emotions in Congress? I guess a body count, is just a number for McCain?


  68. Joe Sixpack Says:

    Well, wwallace, I put up part of my military record in #60. And I don’t even have anything to prove since I don’t call others “cowards” and “traitors”(Just lots of other shit, heh! heh!).

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but time to ante up, my rightwing, conservative friend. You and I-RIGHT-I both. What were those units you served with? Come on. For anyone who has ever served, the units are right on the tip of their tongues.

    You and I-RIGHT-I wouldn’t call others who have served or been wounded in the service of their country “cowards” or “traiters” unless you had served yourselves, right? I mean, that would make you both a couple of extremist hypocritical nazi-assed blowhards without any credibility.

    Now, about those military records of yours?


  69. wwallace Says:

    “IraqVet” never served one day in the military.


  70. Cindy Sheeham Says:

  71. wwallace Says:

    “IraqVet: “I NEVER insult the people who serve”

    “IraqVet”: “BUSH is an IDIOT and does not want to face these families.”

    A) Since Bush served, “IraqVet” isa liar and a hypocrite.

    B) Since Bush routinely meets with families of fallen veterans, “IraqVet” is again a proven liar.


  72. afterthought Says:

    Did McCain go to the Frist school of
    video diagnosis?
    Is he qualified to pass judgement on other
    people’s emotional state?
    Should we discuss McCain’s emotional state?
    I have found McCain to be a disapointment overall, but
    he is a republican, so I guess he has to do what
    Rove tells him to do.

    Wally,

    One more time Asshole!

    “Routinely, adverb, of a repetitious nature; more than once. “Webster’s New World Dictionary, G. & C.Merriam Company, Springfield, MA 1976″

    Bush did not ROUTINELY meet with Mrs. Sheehan. Once is not, repeat not, routinely.

    Again you have been proven to be a lying sack of shit.


  78. afterthought Says:

    I find it interesting how differently
    people who served in a war SEEM to see wars of choice.
    The difference in the way they consider war
    leads me to believe experience in war must
    as they say, “be hell”.
    Also interesting is how easily many of those who have not
    served in a war sound over-eagar for war.
    Clearly many people who have not served are not
    pro-war, but it seems that serving in a war
    makes you think very hard about other options.
    What do you Vets think?


  79. wwallace Says:

    Clyde, since I didn’t say he met with that Commie-Symp Cindy Sheehan more than once, you’re either lying or you’re an illiterate, or both. ROFL

    Hey, wwallace, my MOS was 11B5X. What was yours? Just between you and me, I bet you was an Airborne Ranger, huh? I mean, every armchair warrior I’ve ever run into says he was one. Was that 2nd Bn. at Ft. Lewis, or 1st at Ft. Stewart?

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t it just piss you off when someone like I-RIGHT-I tries to pass himself off like he has been there? And that fat old Marine, Jack Murtha with his 37 years of honorable, distinguished service—I mean, who you gonna believe him or Cheney and his 5 draftdodging deferments?

    9. Promised Rupert Murdock a lucrative, “no-bid” contract.

    8. Al-Jazeera White House correspondent tried to ask a “follow-up” question.

    7. It’s only terrorism when it’s done to us.

    6. Attorney General advised that he couldn’t torture the al-Jazeera staff.

    5. Al-Jazeera website linked to a flash animation depicting Dubya as dim-witted.

    4. “Philosophy of life” doesn’t extend to journalists.

    3. Thought he needed a diversion from the U.S. use of chemical weapons in Fallujah.

    2. al-Jazeera ran colorized version of “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

I think I like you more than aphrodite. Besides, aphrodite is married. How’d you like to have a beer and see if you want to be my bitch?

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but I promise not to belch or fart if we go out like most redneck conservatives do. Besides, I think you’ll like me. I mean, hon my winkie is a lot bigger than I-RIGHT-I’s little bitty one.

    Back to Murtha.
    Here is a guy who has spent his entire adult
    life either in the military or supporting it.
    He suggests we are on the wrong path and
    is immediately called “Michael Moore wing” and
    “emotional”.
    Who are the patriots here?



  90. Marie Says:

    When I saw it, I couldn’t believe McCain said that aloud. He has lost any respect I may have once had for him — he is the consummate politician. Anyone who would endure the slurs, lies and innuendoes that the Bushes have thrown at him and his family, and then support Bush, the man and his policies, has drastically reduced himself. He also ducked questions about ethics in the Abramoff scandal. Politically, I don’t think I will ever trust him.

    Certainly not you. ROFL


  92. IraqVet Says:

    “IraqVet: “I NEVER insult the people who serve”

    “IraqVet”: “BUSH is an IDIOT and does not want to face these families.”

    A) Since Bush served, “IraqVet” isa liar and a hypocrite.

    B) Since Bush routinely meets with families of fallen veterans, “IraqVet” is again a proven liar.

    Comment by wwallace — December 4, 2005 @ 2:28 pm

    A) BUSH served???

    National Guard…NO COMBAT..and 2 (questionable) weeks, and the ARMY convieniently misplaced his DD-214, doesn’t qualify him as a VETERAN…

    Your point? I see you stand corrected!

    B) He meets with a group of families for a ONE time deal, and then he tosses them (unless they are rich, he needs a photo-op, and they MUST be Republican)!

    BUSH has NEVER met with ANY family (except for TWO) more than ONCE! I would not consider that ROUTINE!!! Besides I said FUNERALS you IDIOT!!!

    Be careful when you talk to grown-ups, or you may get you ass whipped!


  93. Susan Says:

    McCain sucks. He allowed Bushie to stomp all over him and then endorsed Bushie as President.

    Proof that he’s spineless.

    Marie didn’t explain what is wrong with what McCain said.


  95. Susan Says:

    What a Wally!


  96. wwallace Says:

    FakeIraqVet has just insulted every member of the US military who is not currently serving in a combat zone. No decent American, let alone a veteran, would do that.


  97. afterthought Says:

    Another interesting twist is that
    McCain used “emotional” as the put-down.
    Wasn’t there a “whisper campaign” that
    suggested that McCain was “emotionally
    unstable” due to his time as a POW?
    Is this a case of the “abused” becomes
    the “abuser”?

    See Spudge??? My point exactly!!! To DIGNIFY this with a response would be IDIOTIC!!!

    Now on to better things…

    YOu IMAGES were Classic!!! I will print one for my C.O.

    afterthought, why is the word “emotional” a putdown?


  102. IraqVet Says:

    Hahahahahahahahaha

    #101 IS CLASSIC!!! Dayum, that one hurt the stomach muscles…

    My trainees got a kick out of that one!!! That one was too much Spudge!


  103. SpudgeBoy Says:

    #114

    That’s why I turned to mocking him with images of his own stupid leader. Go to that link in post #104. That is freaking hilarious.

    “and they MUST be Republican”

    IraqVet,

    That is so true. These NeoCon zombies don’t even realize that Cindy Sheehan was a republican that voted for Bush. She just wants to know what noble cause her son died for.

    But, just like our little pet troll here, the NeoCons won’t answer any question or stand up for what they believe.


  104. Marie Says:

    wwallace is an obnoxious ignoramus — ignore him and he will retreat to his sandbox to play war with his toy soldiers.
    Coward, chickenshit, chickenhawk. Look them up and you’ll find wwallace’ name there.


  105. Joe Sixpack Says:

    Well, wwallace, I do have to disagree with you about Marie. What she said relates to McCain’s credibility, which right now, is pretty low. This guy was dragged thru the mud by the Republican Party, accused of fathering a black daughter out of wedlock, being mentally unstable after years of POW torture, etc.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but then he crawls to the podium stand alongside Cheney’s sock-puppet in order to save Bush’s tired ass during the last election after being shunned by the Administration for 4 years? And going against Kerry who was a very close friend? I mean, what kind of shit is that? Even a rightwing, redneck like me has to ask how he can have the gall to mention that Murtha is being “too emotional”. I mean, just what does it take to create a little “emotional” backbone in this guy? Someone to piss in his beer?


  106. Cindy Sheeham Says:

    Wwalrus,All I want to know is……


  107. Joe Sixpack Says:

    IraqVet, Spudge, and Marie: be a little nicer to wwallace or you’ll make her mad.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but if I play my cards right I might be able to get into her pants.


  108. IraqVet Says:

    You gotta stop it Spudge!!!

    The laughter is getting contagious!!! I think that those images would make a good calendar?


  109. IraqVet Says:

    Hahahahahahahahahaha…Go Joe!!!

    But YOU may be disappointed! Remember, they (Repubs) believe in Intelligent Design…so procration may not be a part of the birth equation???

    I would say bring a cross and wooden stake with you. Because wwallace sounds kinda creepy…


  110. afterthought Says:

    Overall, the administration’s treatment
    of loyal (to the country) patriots

    -> Colin Powell
    -> Richard Clarke
    -> Rep. Murtha
    -> General Shinseki
    -> Sen. McCain

    is truely shameful.
    I suspect history will judge BushCo.

    well, I suspect).

    You are on a roll today!!


  115. Joe Sixpack Says:

    Ryan, I kind of like those big ugly pink bottoms you mentioned in #130. Reminds me of the redneck gals I hang with down at the bar.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but its those with the pasty-white dimply butts that turn me off (unless I’ve got a buzz on).
    Know what I can’t figure out? Why those gals are so chubby and those with cowboy hats are so skinny.


  116. hardass Says:

    Mc Cain lost his cojones . When he calls Murtha emotional , he’s become a YES MAN for the Cheney rove Rummy tripartite.
    That’s what we need for president , another idiot who’s string are pulle.
    If a picture is better tha a thousand word , look at the cover of the dec,5 Nyorker magazine .It tells the true story of who is running the country.


  117. IraqVet Says:

    Cindy…

    If YOU are (if fact) Ms. Sheehan, please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of your son. I apologize for the uncertainty; however, anyone can use a pseudo-name in this forum. To suffer the loss of a loved one in this senseless combat is difficult to imagine and I can appreciate your frustration with those who were voted by the public, and ONLY cater to the select…

    However, the EXPECTATION any intelligent discourse from wwallace will result in disappoint and additional frustration, followed by ignorant rhetorical bantering that will only prove their self-serving interests rather than any plausible or factual data to support their claims.

    Again, for those WHO have served and those who know about combat, WE understand the duties and actions that are asked when we take the OATH. However, we also understand that a “REAL” PRESIDENT would step up to meet those DIRECTLY affected by this conflict and answer the questions asked of him. To give your child to this country, I feel that it should be HIS HONOR to meet with you and NOT vice versa.


  118. IraqVet Says:

    #131…Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

    Geez, Joe!!! YOU ARE on a Roll!!!

    Ann Coulter…Yuk! That must be an anorexic doll!!!

    Dayum, that one choked me up!!! Think you can melt that ice between wwallace’s legs? I heard she was colder than an eskimo in he nether regions?

    At least that’s what I heard?


  119. hardass Says:

    Murtha is a true patriot . He is not emotional . He is wise. He knows Iraq is no longer our problem . We won as much we gonna win there . Let’s get the hell out .


  120. Marie Says:

    Ya gotta appreciate Joe Sixpack’s sarcasm and wit.


  121. wwallace Says:

    hardass, why do you accuse Murtha of having no emotions? That’s an insult.


  122. wwallace Says:

    FakeIraqVet never served.


  123. Joe Sixpack Says:

    Yeah, IraqVet, I just let a little air out of it and turn the light out. Its real skinny and lifelike like that.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but I like to abuse her that away, slap her around, and repeat the title of her book over and over again: “How To Talk to a Liberal, If you must?” This is how, bitch!


  124. IraqVet Says:

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

    I hope you have the same luck with wwallace!

    We should all be so lucky!!!

    Go get her Joe!

    “Secretary” Lieberman

    Wonder why Holy Joe has been to sucking up to Bush, including his unrealistic remarks after his recent (fourth) trip to Iraq?

    Atrios says he may replace Rumsfeld: — It’s hard to imagine a worse choice for Secretary of Defense, except maybe the stupidest fucking guy on the face of the earth, but rumors are apparently floating around the ether that he may replace Rumsfeld. Schieffer said it on Face the Nation, Sullivan on Chris Matthews’ show, etc.

    It’d be a smart move for the Bush administration. The press loves them some Lieberman, and they love them some “bipartisanship.” Rumsfeld’s clearly mad as a hatter these days and needs to go for reasons going beyond mendacious incompetence. Connecticut has a Republican governor at the moment and could appoint a Republican replacement in the Senate, making it easy for the new “incumbent” to win the seat in an election.

    And Holy Joe’s already gone throgh his bit of ritual hazing, demonstrating his willingness to put his name on a pack of lies in service to the Bush administration.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but I would never abuse a gal. As long as she didn’t give me the clap, anyway. My momma raised me better than that.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but you outraking IraqVet means that you like to be the dominate one. I mean, does that suggest you will be slapping me around for foreplay or what? I mean, as a far rightwing conservative, I’m game for most anything after I get a few beers down me.


  136. GalfromCal Says:

    McCain is weak! Have you notice how he takes the easy road to going against the administration. He knows not much is going to be done against torture, because even the supreme court has not pushed it’s rulings.
    But to stand up to bring the soldiers home and save our country’s economy and the safety. He doesn’t have the balls to stand against those that have financed his campaign. He wants the nomination in 2007 for 2008 presidential run. It’s all about McCain and what he wants!
    Spineless creep!

  138. afterthought Says:

    As for McCain, I figure they must
    have promised support in 2008 for
    him to prostitute himself like this.
    I suspect they said the same thing to Condi.
    The joke will be on both of them when BushCo.
    supports Jeb in 2008.


  139. Joe Sixpack Says:

    Well, wwallace, I was assuming you are a woman, judging by the nature of your posts. I mean, unlike most of liberal women who post here, they wouldn’t say shit if they had a mouthful. Unlike you.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but if you are a guy in drag, I would be real disappointed. That’s true. But I could always bend you over and put Ann Coulter’s picture on the back of your head.

    I told you I was a real rightwing conservative.

    You know, wwallace, its the little things that gave you away. The words like “sexist” and gentle references to women. Not knowing shit about the military. Even guys who never served have more knowledge about it from watching movies and such. No, hon, you just have a very feminine touch with your words. All prim and proper like a girl or a hypocritical conservative male.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but saying you are a general. That was real lame, but I got a kick out of it. Still, if you did turn out to be a guy, I have to tell you that the rednecks down at the bar where I hang out would bitch-slap the crap out of you just for being so wussy. You know?

    Apparently, you suffer from an affliction called denial. You deny yourself the nerve to see the ugly side of war and not accepting the truths of Spudge and Iraqvet who know more about military experience and skills than you. Apparently you say these anti-military slurs while you sit at home in your mama’s basement eating Ho-Hos and pretending that your Ann Coulter blow up doll is giving you a blowjob.

    Everytime we tell you about what we know about you know, you just cover your ears and refuse to hear the truth. For once stick your head out of yuor ass, quit picking your nose like your president Chimpy does and join us in the real world. If not, then remove yourself from this site, troll.

  153. wwallace Says:

    #166, that is true, because McCain, like President Bush, served as a fighter pilot. He didn’t dodge the draft like Clinton did. :()


  154. IraqVet Says:

    Hardass…wwallace has a point…He DOES visit Walter reed…but EVERY TIME he does, something bad happens and he does not go to Ward 54!!!

    Here’s the details:

    BUSH PAYS LIPSERVICE TO VETS, THEN SLASHES THEIR HEALTH CARE

    Late last week President Bush visited combat veterans at Walter Reed Medical Center. During his visit, he said “We have made a commitment to the troops, and we have made a commitment to their loved ones, and that commitment is
    that we will provide excellent health care - excellent care - to anybody who is injured on the battlefield.”

    His comments stand in stark contrast to the policies he has pushed - and the record he has amassed - as President. Just this year alone, the President “announced his formal opposition to a proposal to give National Guard and
    Reserve members access to the Pentagon’s health-insurance system”- a slap in the face to thousands of troops, especially considering “a recent General Accounting Office report estimated that one of every five Guard members has
    no health insurance”. The President also this year proposed to cut $1.5 billion (14%) out of funding for military family housing/medical facilities. This followed his 2002 budget which, according to major veterans groups,
    “fell $1.5 billion short” of adequately funding veterans care.

    This is not the first time the President has staged a photo-op to thank veterans at Walter Reed and then proposed policies that hurt veterans. A little less than a year ago, the President visited the medical hospital, and then on the same day announced his proposal to cut off 164,000 veterans
    from the VA’s prescription drug discount program.

    The result of the President’s harsh treatment of veterans is that “more than 235,000 veterans are currently waiting 6 months or more for initial medical appointments” with “many veterans waiting 2 years just to be seen by a doctor.” At Ft. Stewart, Georgia, UPI reported “hundreds of sick and
    wounded U.S. soldiers including many who served in the Iraq war are languishing in hot cement barracks here while they wait - sometimes for months - to see doctors.” And CBS News reports that the administration appears, in some cases, to be denying benefits to soldiers wounded in Iraq.
    Specifically, many soldiers say they are seeing their pay and health benefits severely reduced after they are badly wounded.

    Just the facts!


  155. Pablo in Mexico Says:

    Murtha has to be trashed. The bushlandia group knows that he is getting his feed from the army generals who hold him in high regard, so, you see, they must trash him.

    Now, as to John McCain. Ask him to see his wounds from the torture he says hed underwent. You wont find any, and neither will anyone else. He cooperated with every communist agent he could, got special treatment, and lived the life of ease in the north.

    It will all come out if he tries to run for president and gets the nomination. wanna bet?


  156. wwallace Says:

    In fact, FakeIraqVet, President Bush has increased funding for military health care.

    The President is committed to honoring our Nation’s veterans, and has proposed unprecedented levels of funding for veterans. His Fiscal Year (FY) 2005 budget for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) represents an increase in overall funding for our Nation’s veterans of almost $20 billion — or 40 percent — since FY 2001. It includes a 41 percent funding increase in veterans’ medical care spending since FY 2001.

    Just the facts!


  157. JIMBO Says:

    wetwallace- Dubya never saw any action as a “fighter pilot.” The only action he saw had to do with some frat boy pals and victimizing pledges. Typical premonition of what he would do later in life a President. He never really gets any action unless he gets juiced up on whskey and cocaine.

    Pablo-the Army Generals that Murtha talk to are on the front lines and know what’s going down. Don’t try to think that your god, Dubya Bush knows anything about anything. He knows nothing. McCain served his country well, but has not been in touch too much with anyone currently on the front lines like my representative of my state does.

    I think you can tell that both McCain
    and Murtha have actually seen warfare.
    That makes a big difference in their
    credibility.
    Still, Murtha gets the edge for
    standing up to chicken-hawks.

    McCain is such a hypocritical wus. What did he do when Rove f’d him up the bum in South Carolina and wrecked his chances to be President with smears that he didn’t support veterans, that he supported gays, and that he had an illegitimate child. He got all rattled and emotional in a key debate and rolled over like a log. If he can’t stand up and be a man, McCain should just keep his mouth shut.

    I think “Commander Codpiece”
    might see things differently if he
    was actually in combat rather than
    hiding in TANG.

    Fact Sheet: Honoring the Courage of America’s Veterans

    Today’s Presidential Action

    Today, President Bush commemorated Veterans Day with a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery to honor the courage of America’s Armed Forces.
    The President is committed to honoring our Nation’s veterans, and has proposed unprecedented levels of funding for veterans. His Fiscal Year (FY) 2005 budget for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) represents an increase in overall funding for our Nation’s veterans of almost $20 billion — or 40 percent — since FY 2001. It includes a 41 percent funding increase in veterans’ medical care spending since FY 2001. President Bush’s VA medical care budget increases enable the VA to meet its core medical mission — to serve our highest- priority veterans, including low-income veterans, those with service-related disabilities, and those who need the VA’s specialized services.

    After reading like thirty posts that you’ve ended the same way (today alone), my question to you would be, aren’t you filthy from all that rolling around on the floor? Or is that where your computer is? You might get a better perspective on things if you got up once in a while.

    I wonder if H.W, wishes he let junior
    serve in combat rather than pulling strings
    to get him into TANG.
    Maybe Barbara over-ruled him as she seems to
    wear the pants… not that there is anything
    wrong with that.
    Anyway, I suspect H.W. thinks junior
    starts wars of choice because he never
    fought in one.

    John McCain is a horse’s ass. All thios “war hero” ever did was enthusiastically participate in the illegal terror bombing of North Viet Nam, get busted for it, and do some well deserved time. Who gives a damn what he says?
