My point, which could have been stated more succinctly, was that prominent Democrats have not stated he would have voted against the war, although we’re all sure he would, but rather he was right about the war and spoke out against it even though he wasn’t in a position to cast a vote.

Thanks for your concern about my erection, though. Now that I’m aware that it is an object of your attention, I’ll be more cautious in the future.

Crap. Now I’ll have to decide between the “bullet cure” or the “drive in the country cure.”

So I’m not the only one reminded of ol’ Ronnie “there are no homeless/hungry in America” Raygun.

“You know, if I listened to him long enough, I would be convinced that we’re in an economic downturn, and that people are homeless, and people are going without food and medical attention, and that we’ve got to do something about the unemployed.” — President Reagan, 6/8/88, accusing Michael Dukakis of misleading campaign rhetoric.

“Facts are stupid things.” — Ronald Reagan, 1988

Reminds me of the sort of thing we were hearing out of the White House during Reagan’s second term.

Obama didn’t even vote on the war with Iraq. How can the Dem’s say he would have voted aganist it? Hind site always 20/20!!

Can you document a case of any Democrat of consequence(not just your neighbor or the local bartender) who has said this? Link, please.

Under the McCain logic, if he just used the improper tense and meant that the troops will be drawn down to pre-search levels, and not that they already have been, then why not say that all of our troops are home?. Sometime in the future they will be. Perhaps in 100 years.

For the details, see:
“McCain’s Future Perfect Presidency.”

Looks like your “hind sight” is impaired by having your head shoved neck deep up your hind end.

As Zooey said he made a speech about it, duh.

Next time try commenting about something you actually know about,like how many polyps you have up there.

Maybe we should stop this pattern of attacking smaller countries that aren’t a serious threat to us…it doesn’t really benefit any one in the end except the military industrial complex that President Eisenhower warned us about.

And what a speech it was!!!!!! Obama has had it right for a long time, no flipping and flopping like a headless frog being poked by the various “base” groups of the right!

Well, since McCain hasn’t even shown up to vote or do his f-king job why should he know of anything testified about in Congress at all?
It’s a wonder he remembers where his office is.

Grampy, it’s just that you are constantly missing the mark, how many times can you be wrong in one day, read your notes better.

Seriously, this is a major gaffe that Obama will run well with. When we get to October, and the troops are still above the pre-surge level, he can ask over and over again, “When again are we drawing down to pre-surge levels? Just how much into the future was your ‘tense error’?”
