Insane in the membrane...
God, please let there be more Nbadan's during the General Election...and, Lord, let them attach themselves to Obama.
Yes! More of this please...More! More! More!
sorry yoni, i doubt obama would tolerate bush tactics.
i thought you wanted hillary?
i think dan was being sarcastic
We'll see what he's capable of.
I just want the nominee bloody and bruised.
With all his troubles and the campaign from dragging on, it's almost irrelevant who the Democrats put up.
this is a valid point.
soon enough, mccain will be constantly in the news. you think he'll be able to remember what day it is?
I agree to. At least he doesn't have lies he cannot keep strait like the democrats.
Great fluff piece.
It didn't mention that his fellow captors called him SongBird

Sounds like he wasn't a hero to, or even popular with, to his fellow prisoners. The truth is impossible to know, esp when the military is involved.
Becoming imprisoned and tortured is NOT a choice, NOT a willed, courageous decision, no matter how admirable the prisoner conducts himself. Had Songbird gone Rambo on the VN and busted his and his buddies' asses out, wow, a Real Hero. An Audie Murphy kind of hero.
For me, a hero faces danger and a difficult decision and makes a courageous decision to risks his well-being to escape or nullify the danger for himself and/or others.
Many people are imprisoned against their will, often suffer degrading treatment from usually sadistic guards and other prisonser, aka torture, and then released (and usually not compensated) because they were found innocent. Are these falsely imprisoned, abuse people heros?
I don't see the difference between the two. One is serving legally as a US citizen, the other is serving in the military. Both are imprisoned and released, but only the military guy is a "hero". imo, that's an insult to the civilian, and it's a very soft, non-discriminating, wide definition of "hero", so wide as to make it meaningless.
Sorry, McFlopPanderKeating, you're not a hero to Boutons.
And you won't be President, either.
Ron Paul has politcal guts. McFlopPanderKeating is a 2-bit political totally identified with and supportive of all the disasters of dubya's failed presidency. Iraq will defeat McFlopPanderKeating.
actually, he can't keep anything straight, be it a lie or the truth.
best case scenario is that he doesn't have to speak about anything at all. he should claim laryngitis.
With that logic, Obama must be an awesome pilot.
straight, as in a direction,
not
strait as in a narrow channel of water
I wasn't gonna say anything, but this is one of your more common mistakes.
Link?
Huffington might not be a McCain fan, but they aren't stupid.
Daily Kos I take with a grain of salt, but thinking that the nutty left is anyones "base" is a bit like saying that the Westburo Baptist church is the base of the right.
Nut ude is everywhere, and the internets just give them a place to bukkake everybody with stupid, if I may put it less than politely.
liberals will pay anyone to say anything.

Well ... we'll see how nutty Obama's base will be come August at the Convention.
Maybe they'll prove me wrong ...
This might have more sting if one didn't know about the Swiftboat people.
That nasty smear had Rove's greasy fingerprints all over it.
I have not met any Obama people who are wierdly obsessive about the guy.
For the most part they have been pretty intelligent, and educated, especially the people who worked for his campaign that I got to meet during the caucus process.
I can't speak for 100% of the population that votes for him, but I just don't see much basis for the "most people who support him think he is a messiah" bit.
I know that this is election year spin for the most part, but that doesn't make it any less unfair or inaccurate.
Sadly it just makes it par for the course in US politics.
Yeah, let's not talk about doubtful things. Kerry's after-war record spoke all we need to know about him. I, anyway, didn't need the Swifties to tell me about Kerry's smear on the soldiers and sailors in Vietnam after he had come back. Shoot, the guy went in front of Congress and told them a bunch of hooey!
So, even if the Swifties were liars, it didn't make any difference to me. Let's line up what we know about Kerry (for instance) with what we know about McCain, and compare, and leave the veterans' groups out of it. Seems fair.
Meh, I read the whole transcript of Kerry's testimony.
If one puts what he said in the context of the whole, his remarks were that US foreign policy and military strategy was probably illegal in many aspects, and that warzones have a dehumanizing affect on people in them.
Neither of which really is a "smear" on our servicemembers, just uncomfortable truths that many don't want to admit.
Who knew you were keeping track?
Really? How? Just because the Left thinks Rove was omniscient and evil doesn't mean he's either or that he manipulated the Swiftboat Veterans.
On the other hand, he would have be a poor political advisor to the President had he not exploited the advantage they gave him.
Look, nobody forced Kerry to conduct himself in Vietnam the way he did and then come back and lie about his exploits -- on top of demonizing his comrades before the U.S. Congress. Nobody told him to throw someone elses medals over the White House fence.
I'm surprised the Left isn't blaming Rove for the current Democrat Primary debacle.
I happen know a few here at ST to speak of him as the Second Coming. Their estrogen levels e whenever one even dares to question him.
But you, as a reasonable and intelligent black Asian female, probably hang around reasonable people yourself. So it's no surprise that you've not met too many Obamaniacs. And I suspect that, proportionally speaking, the Obama cultists are few in number compared to the reasonable ones.
I actually stick to the "issues" when discussing his candidacy: his foreign and domestic agenda, his associations, and what he wants to do economically. I admit that I am a bit put off by his grand airy visions of a new post-partisan, post-racial era of politics,under the gasseous moniker of "change," when he has proven (thanks Hillary!) to be anything but. And, as for his grand, government-driven ideas of peace and prosperity for all -- no thanks, not interested.
