Oh wait I got that wrong it’s called the Bull-Shit party…

By linking himself to two very strong Republicans (well, Churchill’s mother might have been one, if she could have voted) and two beloved figures, he grabs the attention the average voter. The trivia about TR (not all of his sons died in WWI, just one, TR, Jr. died in WWII as the most highly decorated officer in the war – of a heart attack) notwithstanding, McCain is viewed as a strong leader, just like Churchill and TR in this ad.

If you want trivia, the Brits dropped Churchill abruptly after the war and he assumed his former post as a nutcase for the rest of his carreer as far as they were concerned. TR, on the other hand, proved that like the present president a leader can make seminal changes in the direction of the country by use of the bully pulpit and (probably) uncostitutional use of the office. The difference, of course is that a change was needed at the turn of the 20th century and TR accomplished that while G. Bush just gave us change. I suspect that JP Morgan would have considered Bush “bought” and not be as worried as he was about TR.

The Democrats will eventually have to answer that ad. While the economy may be the great issue of the campaign, security and Commander-in-Chiefness seems to be the definer right now between the two parties. Quoting TR may not be a bad tactic for the Democrats too.

Rush Limpbaugh has been known to order up a pill or two for that feel good life of the ultra conservative.

The word is that he has recently prescribed to John McCain a cocktail of Bourbon and Viagra to be taken when John has one of his periodic fits of integrity.

“The booze’ll numb your pangs of conscience towards your fellow citizens,” says Rush, ” and the Viagra will stiffen your conservative resolve while also reminding you of the party in whose bosom you now reside.”

This “war hero” is a total fool, whose advisers lobbied for Airbus to get the recent tanker deal. And he recently voted against a ban on water boarding.

So what other war hero turned against his own country? Hmmm, I think his last name was Arnold….

Oh , no , no

I couldn’t possibly be correct in claiming anything about Teddy Roosevelt ; the gift of accuracy and prudent thinking is the sole property of Kilt Boy here , who still hasn’t answered how , like Mrs Clinton’s refusal to acknowledge the horrendous decision her vote in favor of the Iraq War was , how a voting record that includes the likes of pieces of crap named Ronnie Retard , Shrub the 1st and Chimpy the Wonder Monkey isn’t as or more incriminating as evidence of his non-descript mind………………..

And you are invited to explain why you lyingly claim it was Teddy Roosevelt who ‘fought’ the Phillipine War , when it was actually William McKinley ………………

Well said, Captain Ad Hominem! Care to “contribute something relevant” or would you like to keep “acting like a child” and resort to lame personal insults?

Do you really need me to prove the Phillipine Insurgency was during TR’s Presidency? Or that it was an occupation? Bilbo is off hiding, go ahead and explain his reasoning for him.

Why can’t you guys ever admit it when you are wrong? TR was a great President, a social Progressive with a very Hawkish foreign policy. So what?
