		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;McCain who does not know how to use a computer but is willing to learn if we elect him – I’ll just vote for that smart black man.   
hes the president...does he need to surf ebay?
&lt;/blockquote&gt;My Choices are: John McCain who says the economic downturn is psychological? - Na! I’ll vote for the smart black man.  yea he can raise our taxes and give healthcare to illegal aliens with our money//
McCain who says you are better off under George Bush? - Nope I’ll vote for the smart black man.     umm the other choice was John Kerry...yea...
Mc Cain who wants to continue killing more people looking for weapons of mass destruction that do not exist? - Gee! I’ll vote for the smart black man.   
 I think we stopped looking a long time ago..we are trying to stabilize a democracy..
McCain who believes that we should stay the course but is not willing to support the people he puts in harms way. - I’ll take a chance on the smart black man.  
Not support..yea..he has been one of those people in harms way ..umm..I think that part of his life is public record..


&lt;blockquote&gt;Should I vote for a man that does not know that 9-11 was caused by Osama Bin Laden not Sedam Hussein? - Easy! I’ll vote for the smart black man.
I wonder if Obama can spell Saddam..We know he can spell Hussein
&lt;/blockquote&gt;Vote for the man who does not know if the Sunnis or Sheits are our enemies? - No way I’ll vote for the smart black man.  
 I think you are full of bullSheiits  ot bullshihite..hmmm..neither are our enemies..radical fundementalists are.
Vote for the man who helped put our government on the China, Saudi Arabia credit card? - Not a chance I’ll vote for the smart black man.   
Well maybe if Obama gets elected China will help fund all his new social programs....never mind I will just voluteeer more of my paycheck via his taxplan.
Vote for the man with the worst temper in the Senate to have his finger on the nuclear button? - No way - I’ll vote for the smart black man.
Did someone say smart Black Man..Why does the color of your finger matter..you either protect the country or you do not.
  you go ahead and vote for the smart black man..You worry about human life in this war?  really..less than 5000 american lives have been lost in this war that is supported by the experienced white man.  50,000,000 aborted fetuses  supported by the smart black man. you value human life if it furthers your personal goals..what value do those 50 million lives have in comparison.  one has supported freedom for a country that has not known it..and that freedom has a human cost
It amazes me that the liberal can shout &quot;baby killer&quot; at our veterans when they return home..yet they have killed more babies with their abortion policies than all the wars in the past 1000 years combined.

		<description>i really think having an inexperienced cavalier guy like Obama would be great in these situations..He will be able to help negotiate russian pullouts of Poland and the Ukraine later because if someone that spineless gets in thats exactly where they will go..He has already said &quot;Nuclear Options are never an option&quot; Thats good he took that off the table..I am sure Putin feels the same way..
Since Obama has already taken that &quot;Deterent&quot; off the table,Russia, China and Iran would never do anything to upset us..We might want to &quot;talk&quot; about it....SCARRYYYYYYYY
  JFK &quot;blustered&quot; at the Bay of Pigs....Ronald Reagan &quot;Blustered&quot; at the END of the cold war...those Crazy war mongering &quot;blusterheads&quot;...What do people like that ever accomplish..If you liberal smackdogs would look at reality for a change..Maybe &quot;global warming&quot; has numbed your minds..
 &lt;strong&gt;Strength is a greater keeper of peace than weakness.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>I found this on DU -- I don&#039;t expect the msm is investigating.
&lt;em&gt;The White House has started to panic over a July 9 meeting between Condi Rice and Mikheil Saakashvili, desperate to suggest they didn&#039;t encourage Georgia&#039;s crack-down in South Ossetia. Given that panic, I wonder whether Karl Rove had any similar chats with Saakashvili when they were in Yalta together just days later?&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Barack Obama could send his pet dog to Georgia and would get a worldwide positive response. But when Johnny McTeleprompter sends in 2 Right Wing Warmongering Lying Dumbos, the world cringes just as it has for the past 8 years under George Bush. 

Johnny has Georgian government lobbyists working on his campaign. If anything gets done, we can thank the lobbyists, you know, the lobbyists Johnny says aren&#039;t working for him. Spit. I&#039;m sure this whole invasion was planned and conspired by his lobbyists to make him look like a foreign expert dynamo!</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;sectionop92 Says:

John McCain is considered an “expert” because he’s a veteran, who happens to be a Senator, who happens to shake his stick and yell wildly at world events and leaders

August 14th, 2008 at 1:30 am &lt;/i&gt;
_______

I just pictured McCain sitting on a rocking chair on his porch calling Vladimir Putin a bratty whippersnapper and telling him to get off his lawn.  :)</description>

		<description>I guess in the sports world, if you have a bunch of athletes who sign autographs, talk nice with the radio hosts and give them team insignia merchandise, you&#039;ll have your own media cheerleaders no matter if you get arrested for beating your wife, firing nine shots into the air outside a nightclub or playing pinball on the city streets at 1:49 in the morning while drunker than a whole frat house on homecoming and have a winning percentage that reads like our president&#039;s approval rating.  

So in the political world if you&#039;re running for the office of president, with no real message other than you&#039;ll pass along the buck of the current retarded neighbor boy occupying the office, you&#039;ll just put a lot meat over a big fire, slap on some sweet and smoky sauce then slap those media clowns on the back while you blow up balloon animals and reassure them they matter in a sick/sad support group roast where they pledge that you&#039;re the nicest, most honest guy they&#039;ve come across because you make insensitive jokes and made them feel human for five hours at a glorified picnic at a mansion with Cadaver the Unfunny Ass and having his wife play the role of the Beer Maiden, where you swear she&#039;s looking at you even harder after every beer you pound...but she&#039;s just the cherry on top of the sick sundae they&#039;ve all swallowed whole, with the myopic brain freeze a near permanent after effect.</description>

		<description>John McCain is considered an &quot;expert&quot; because he&#039;s a veteran, who happens to be a Senator, who happens to shake his stick and yell wildly at world events and leaders until the media hounds go, &lt;em&gt;&quot;see, that&#039;s John McCain being John McCain...gotta love it&quot;&lt;/em&gt;.  If McCain is an &quot;expert&quot; on world politics, Big Bird should be his Secretary of Defense and Charles Manson should be the Attorney General...because that is how much credibility the President&#039;s office will have, yet again!</description>

		<description>The media takes it&#039;s talking points from the reichwingnuts without ever questioning anything.  We have the most worthless lot in the media of any country.  I am old enough to have seen much better. The reichwingnuts have successfully turned the fourth estate into a form of Pravda like the old USSR had.  Nothing they say has ever been investigated or vetted.</description>

		<description>Not to mention the sickening notion that, while Ossetians and Georgians die, these brain dead talkingheads are busy trying to find out who can benefit politically from the tragedy. 

Yeah, them &quot;liberal&quot; media are at it again.</description>

		<description>I really hadn&#039;t paid attention to this conflict until the Russian invasion started in shock and awe fashion. Since then I have learned a small amount of the background.

If I read correctly what happened before the Russian invasion it was Georgia that provoked this conflict when they sent troops into disputed territory administered by Russia. This would make it a case of self defense for Russia, even though they have responded disproportionitely.

Behind the scenes it looks like the Bush administration has egged on the Georgia government to provoke this conflict. With a President that is a loose cannon it hardly makes sense to dare him to do what he wants to do in the first place. Diplomacy, however is always the last resort for this administration.</description>

		<description>Oh, yeah, sure.  Especially when he says shit like this:

&lt;em&gt;Speaking to reporters about the situation in Georgia, Sen. John McCain denounced the aggressive posture of Russia by claiming that:&quot;in the 21st century nations don&#039;t invade other nations.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

Did McCain forget about Afghanistan AND Iraq?</description>

		<description>The media accepts it?  No, the media is pushing it!  He came out like a rabid dog with his accusations about Russia the same way GW came out about Irag&#039;s WMD, the axis of evil, and his &quot;war on terror&quot;.  Mr. McCain&#039;s reaction is just another good, very good, example of why we cannot afford him as president for the next four years, much less eight years.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;The story is exactly right, the media assumes John McCain is some kind of military expert.  The fact is that he isn&#039;t at all.  Just look at his reaction to this unfortunate situation and it will tell you all you need to know about how he thinks.  His first instinct is to suggest that we confront Russia militarily.  Lets look at the facts as they are and not the way the media protrays them.  Our military is bogged down in Iraq and we have to be in Afganistan.  That accounts for vertually every active combat unit we have on active duty.  Second, you can&#039;t fight another war if you don&#039;t have the troops to do so.

Next, what fool in his right mind would unnecessarily start a was with another super power?  Apparently John McCain isn&#039;t in his right mind, because he wants to take on Russia militarily.  He forgot that they have hundreds of nuclear weapons already aimed at us just waiting for the order to launch.  Also you can&#039;t fight a war with no troops.  If this fool provokes Russia into fighting that could end up in a nuclear showdown we can&#039;t afford.  Why?  In a nuclear war humanity loses because the earth can&#039;t support life if it&#039;s contaminated for thousands of years. 

The statement made by McCain was not only wreckless, but dangerous to the entire human race.  We are dealing with a mad man in Putin, and we don&#039;t need to give him a reason to try to win a nuclear war.  He doesn&#039;t carea about the Russian people, so what has he got to lose?  McCain also has nothing to lose, because as President he&#039;s have a bunker full of food to last until he&#039;s 100 years old.  It&#039;s the rest of us who would be screwed.  I&#039;m not trying to live in a contaminated ruins are you?  For all of you fools who can&#039;t see McCain is dangerous, you&#039;d better wake up before it&#039;s too late.  

This man thinks that a war is the solution to any problem and that&#039;s stupid and foolish.  The only good war is the one you don&#039;t fight.  I&#039;ll fight for my country at the drop of a hat, but I don&#039;t want my children&#039;s future destroyed by some old fart wanta be tough guy.  He&#039;s still fighting the Viet Nam war in his head, but it&#039;s been over for 30 years.  He still thinks we an win that war.  I&#039;m sure he blames us for losing it although most of us had nothing to do with the decisions that we made.  If McCain wants to fight let him join the Army and go to Iraq.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>
