Today We Are All Georgians
By Charles Lemos on August 12, 2008 at 11:30 PM in Current Affairs
While my antipathy towards Barack Obama could not be greater, that has not translated into empathy or support for Senator McCain but if McCain’s speech today is any indication then I am growing increasingly comfortable with McCain.
No doubt, there are and will likely always be serious disagreements. McCain and I will never see eye-to-eye on gay rights. This is after all a gay blog (I know it’s hard to tell but if you met me you probably couldn’t tell either) and gay issues do and will always matter. But I have never been a single issue voter instead I vote values and worldview. Obama doesn’t share my values and his worldview is that of a child. Why can’t we all get along? Kumbaya my lord kumbaya. The world doesn’t work that way. Obama’s outlook is a recipe for disaster.
McCain’s approach is that of realist. He sees the dangers. He saw this one. Today is a somber day and we face the grim reality of a resurgent Russia unafraid to use its muscle to bully others around. Paranoia in Russia runs deep, it is almost part of their soul. Thus Russia lashes out rather seeking to engage. Talk to an Estonian, Pole, or Czech about Russia. Get their perspective.
Russia now looms large on the geo-political horizon. They still have nuclear weapons. Even more potent perhaps is that they have something the West needs, oil and natural gas. And Russia has already shown that it will use trade as a weapon. Convincing Russia that it belongs to the West will not be easy. Only the Russian people can make that decision but they have acquiesed with Russia’s headlong march into authoritarianism because Putin brought a measure of stability and consumer goods. We need to make Russia pay for this and pay hard. We need to limit the ability of Russians to travel abroad, freeze Russian accounts, prevent Russia from selling arms abroad. And we need to prevent a repeat of our loss in Georgia from happening elsewhere be that the Baltics or the Ukraine. Today we are all Georgians. Democracy matters. And that is really what this blog is about. Its writer just happens to be gay.
From my blog, By The Fault.

Yes, Hillary is Dr. Bond and BambiBoy Dr. NOOoo - never!
GEORGIA ATTACKED RUSSIA
THIS IS THE BRZEZINSKI PLAN FOR THE CORRUPT ANGLO-AMERICAN FINANCIAL EMPIRE-DESTROY RUSSIAN AND CHINA AS THE WESTERN MONETARY SYSTEM COLLAPSES.
GEORGIAN PRESIDENT SAAKASHVILI WAS PUT IN POWER BY A NATO/CIA/MI6/MOSSAD ‘PEOPLE POWER COUP’ FINANCED BY GEORGE SOROS THE MONEY BAG BEHIND OBAMA!
TO UNDERSTAND LIFE UNDER OBAMA, LOOK AT GEORGIA, WHERE MARTIAL LAW WAS DECLARED A LONG TIME AGO. MONEY FOR ARMS, SUPPLIED BY THE U.S. BUT NOT TO PEOPLE AND INFRASTRUCTURE FOR NORMAL SOCIETY.
THIS IS A DISGUSTING ARTICLE, AND MR. JOHNSON, OF THE CIA, IS HERE SUPPORTING THE ESTABLISHMENT LINE OF WAR AGAINST RUSSIA BY ALLOWING SUCH LIES CONCERNING THE NATURE OF THIS ATTACK TO BE POSTED AS SUCH.
LARRY JOHNSON IS ACTING AS DR. NO AS HE SAYS YES TO BOTH MCCAIN, OBAMA, CHENEY AND BUSH BY ALLOWING SUCH DRIVEL TO BE REPORTED.
FACT:
GEORGIA HAD BEEN SHELLING SOUTH OSSETIA FOR WEEKS. RUSSIA KNEW THAT SAAKASHVILI WAS READYING TROOPS TO ATTACK. AT 1AM 8/8/08 RUSSIA BROUGHT FORTH A INITIATIVE TO THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL TO OPPOSE THE USE OF FORCE IN DEALING WITH THE CONFLICT. THE UK AND USA WALKED OUT. GEORGIA BOMBS A HOSPITAL IN
SOUTH OSSETIA-RUSSIA ROLLS ITS TANKS!
THE WEST IS MORALLY BANKRUPT AS IS LARRY JOHNSON OF THE CIA FOR PUTTING THIS PROPAGANDA ‘WE ARE ALL GEORGIAN’S NOW’ OUT.
PERHAPS SOROS IS PAYING LARRY JOHNSON AND NO QUARTER TO ACT AS A SUBTERFUGE AGAINST REAL OPPOSITION TO OBAMA.
IS SOROS BEHIND PUMA INTRANSIGENCE AGAINST REALLY FIGHTING OBAMA AS THEY ARE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT WHAT TO DO AFTER THE CONVENTION RATHER THAN BEING INTIMIDATED BY 3RD WORLD BLOGGERS FOR OBAMA LEVYING DEATH THREATS, WHILE NO QUARTER ALLOWS WORLD WAR 3 TO THREATEN US ALL WITH NUCLEAR ANNIHILATION SHOULD SUCH MADNESS BY THE WEST CONTINUE.
THOSE ATTACKING RUSSIA ARE ATTACKING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND ALL BITTER AMERICANS.
HILLARY MUST FIGHT THE ANGLOPHILE/ROCKEFELLER/TRILATRALIST/BRZEZINSKI/SOROS/OBAMA/FORD FOUNDATION/WEATHERUNDERGROUND TERROR ATTACK AGAINST THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Huh?
If Obama is nominated, I feel that Dems who are pondering not voting at all are going to really need to think about voting for John McCain.
If Obama and his thugs win, Democrats will have to live with the vindication of Obama’s campaign and the triumph of the coupists.
To me, that is totally unacceptable.
Country before party.
I live in a red state that won’t go for obama, and I’m still voting for McCain just to make sure! down ticket dems may or may not get my vote, depending on how much koolaide they’ve had.
Good thinking, Dr. Kate.
I feel the same way. There’s a real chance that I won’t be voting for downticket Dems in order to let the DNC know that their farce this year will not be tolerated.
Thanks for all the research you’ve been doing for TD and in general.
I wont be voting for Kerry this fall, however now I hear (on FOX NEWS) he may be the VP pick for O… Oh well to birds with one stone I guess.
Oh wait, how does that work? If Kerry’s up for re-election this fall but runs as the VP with O does he lose his Sen. seat if O loses? He can’t run for both.
Kerry refused to give up his Senate when he ran for President in 2004 so if he were Bambi’s pick for VP why would he give up his seat this time. If, God forbid, Obama wins and Kerry has a place in his administration, VP or otherwise, Kerry would then have to give up his seat.
If Kerry gets reelected and then selected by Obama, Governor Duval Patrick, would probably try to appoint himself to take Kerry’s place. At that point he will find out that racism is alive and well in Massachusetts.
Kerry will have a hard time this year. I think his seat may be in jeopardy. His endorsement of Obama, after the voters went for Hillary was perceived by many as a slap in the face. This will be the first chance people have had to get back at him for what they see as a betrayal.
Think about the best case scenario … Kerry loses twice … one as VP and one as Senator … sweet! I am sure those pictures with nubile young girls will go a long way, don’t you?
that would be 3 times
he lost as PRESIDENT TOO
lol
that makes him a HUGE Loser like KENNEDY
Lieberman stayed on both ballots…he wasn’t stupid. He ran for reelection to the Senate the same year he ran as VP.
ack Lieberdon’t
ack

Former GOP Rep Jim Leach says Obama is the true realist
Leach said he expects a lot of GOP’s and independents will support Obama. More:
“and that’s what Senator Obama is reflecting in so many of his speeches.”
Just words
very empty words
Jim Leach is a really weird guy. The media likes to portray him as a moderate but he was one of the worst tormentors of Bill Clinton. Check out what Matt Iglesias says about Leach - typical progressive take on him, then read the comments . This is what is so bizarre about liberal pundits. Imagine conservatives praising someone who helped lead a witch hunt against one of their guys. Iglesia completely disappeared Leach’s despicable behavior but several of the commenters point it out. This is the kind of thing that Bob Somerby at dailyhowler.com is howling about. Our spokespeople are our own worst enemies.

Some of these Reps are so dumb. This is another falsehood Bots have used to prop him up:
Obama = diplomacy
Hillary/McCain = war
Neither Hillary or McCain have ever said they would not use aggressive diplomacy. Quite the opposite and their EXPERIENCE on the armed services committee has prepared them to understand the complexities of dealing with other nations, especially hostile regimes. Obama, however, suggests ONLY hand-holding (no pre-conditions, that is, until there was backlash and he stole Hillary’s position) which is totally unrealistic.
As always I ask: based on what? He would be competent as CIC based on what? He didn’t even take responsibility for the ONE committee he was supposed to chair.
I have already decided that for the first time in my voting life ( 30 yrs. ) I will vote GOP for McCain if Obama is the nominee. I will do this because I cannot support the actions of Obama’s campaign and his support by Corrupt Party Leaders.
I believe that McCain will be more independent of his party then previous GOP presidents just as I believe Clinton is more independent of her Party then Obama is.
I want a Grown UP in the White House….Not someone who remindes me more and more of my spoiled middle aged Baby brother who keeps being fired from
jobs because he lies about who he is and what he’s accomplished on his resumes….and who at 45 still has his mother make his car payments while he searches for stupid wife # 3 to support him in between stints in re-hab…sheeesh!
If Hillary by her own choice does not accept the nomination, this speech is one good reason to vote for grandpa Mac.
He doesn’t have the sweeping delivery that Obama has, but the words pack a punch. When he said that history is often made in small corners of the world, I immediately thought of Vietnam and then him being a POW there. I’m sure there are others who made that connection, too.
in HRC’s statement on the Iraq war resolution, she mentioned that US agression in Iraq could give the green light to Russia to do exactly what they are doing now.
Whatever is the next step, the US must proceed strategically. this is also very much about oil and other natural resources.
Putin cited the U.S. invasion of Iraq when he was justifying Russia’s current actions.
Bush’s invasion gave other countries the option to do the same. Just hope China or Japan don’t decide they need to free us from our terroristic regime before we can get bush out of office!

( Sigh )….Aaaaand GWB doesn’t even have the internal capacity to suffer
a DOOH ! Homer moment…..
New Global Political SUPAHSTAR…..SARKOZY…..Who knew ?
I agree. There are some things, like gay marriage and abortion, that I disagree with McCain. But you have to pick your battles. A president with in depth knowledge of foreign policy is a must in my eyes. It’s the only way to keep us all safe. Obama is definitely not that man.
Lulz watching all the
PUMAracist Dems gradually talking themselves into pulling the Gooper leveranchovy. your only meme is to pull the race lever yourself
I am gay and I did some research on this. McCain doesn’t agree with gay marriage ban, in fact he voted against it in Congress. This is a MAJOR misconception with McCain.
I don’t fully agree with any candidate on every issue but Congress makes the laws, not the president. The president’s job is to protect and defend our Constitution and to represent the United States internationally. Congress declares war; the Commander in Chief carries out that declaration of war.
IF Obama understood the history our nation has gone through with the USSR he might not see the retaking of Georgia as such a small matter. No, he isn’t president yet, he isn’t even a candidate for president yet but he is quick to take world tours announcing he is the symbol the world has been waiting for and if he is then we expect more from him than what he has given so far.
Both Senators Clinton and McCain have shown the world that they are a force to be reckoned with. Obama, who has never held one committee meeting on Afghanistan because he didn’t have time because he was running for president, is off on vacation even though his campaign is unfinished and the Senate requires his attention.
The last time we had a vacation oriented president al Qaida slipped through our defenses on September 11, 200l and New Orleans drowned while he attended a birthday party. It appears that Obama does not see this resurgence of an imperial Russia gathering in it’s rebellious former members as a threat to the U. S. while the other two candidates do.
Our largest group of citizens are known as “babyboomers”, whose fathers and mothers fought in another war and who grew up under the shadow of the USSR and its nuclear arsenal. We knew what that crossing into Georgia was, just like McCain and Clinton did.
Perhaps being raised in a police state like Indonesia Obama is more of a citizen of “the world” than a citizen of the U. S. but our families fought and died for this country on foreign soil and are buried in this U. S. soil. It’s more than “just words” to us; democracy is in our blood and Obama needs to know that it is also in the blood of John McCain and Hillary Clinton and in the end Obama just seems a little anemic.
You’re right and much of what you’ve said is the reason I consider myself an Independent. I don’t believe that either party has cornered the market on what’s best for America. I used to lean toward the Democrats, but this primary season has shown me that there are just as many problems and corrupt politicians in the DNC as there are in the GOP. We have to vote for the person that we think will be the best leader in a crisis situation, because our world (and our country) is in a precarious situation right now. That’s why McCain was my second choice behind Hillary. I want the next president to be an experienced leader.
Excellent Article Mr. Lemos.Yesterday I spent a couple hours chatting with the new neighbors a very nice and interesting Gay couple who are part of what they call Stonewall Democrats. My daughter and I live in an Historic Gay Neighborhood. My twin brother is Gay and as an Artist having many Gay friends is an occupational/Cultural asset….chuckle….I have always been supportive of Gay Rights and we started our chat about the cultural implications to Gay Culture of Social/Political assimilation of the Gay Political Class comparing it to similar assimilations of other groups. I learned so much from these two fellows. One is a student studying Art History and the other is a politically active IT Professional, both in their early 30’s. One caucasian ( raised J Witness ) and his partner hispanic ( raised RCC ). So you can imagine how varied and lively the chat was….It was global…chuckle…
They still have a Clinton sign hanging in the window but have swallowed the SCOTUS fear pill and are going to be good ( reluctantly ) party soldiers.
After discussing Obama’s campaign….the primary season..Dean the UberPutz…yada…yada…yada….I said to them that currently in America they had the right to decide….and I respected that. Then I asked them to consider one question.
After you look into McCain’s relationship over the years with his own party…Did they really think he would be a proper little goosestepper and the SCOTUS would overnight overturn every civil rights gain ? Even Nixon and Reagan were surprised by how their judges tuned out….I said since we live in the Mildly Fascist state of Texas already….Do you really think it will get much worse than this with McCain…..But given Obama’s campaign and the Party Leadership’s tacit support of his tactics can we afford to go with a Party and a Candidate who seem to stop at nothing in persuit of Power ? We all three agreed to chat again as we enjoyed the discussion. I also referred them to several PUMA sites including yours and NQ and I explained to them that PUMA has grown beyond both this primary and even the candidates and is about restoring the principles of Democracy which are at stake.
The one thing we agreed on was that all three of us had the HOPE…tremulous and ardent that whoever becomes POTUS is hopefully tansformed by the office to serve our country in the tradition of our best Leaders in the past. I told them my hope was that McCain if elected would pull a Teddy Roosevelt being a leader that put Country First.
Country Before Party…….
Georgia: Hillary’s 3am Phone Call
The Chicago Sun Times, B. Hussein’s home town newspaper, notes that McCain has it right on the Georgian crisis, not Obama.
McCain, not Obama, was right about Georgia
…One who was up to speed on Georgia and the menace it faced from Russia was veteran Sen. John McCain. He had visited the Caucasian nation three times in a dozen years. When fighting erupted, the presumptive Republican presidential candidate got on the phone to gather details and issued a statement Friday summarizing the situation, tagging Russia as the aggressor and demanding it withdraw its forces from the sovereign territory of Georgia.
It took first-term Sen. Barack Obama three tries to get it right. Headed for a vacation in Hawaii, the presumed Democratic candidate for commander in chief issued an even-handed statement, urging restraint by both sides. Later Friday, he again called for mutual restraint but blamed Russia for the fighting. The next day his language finally caught up with toughness of McCain’s.
Making matters worse, Obama’s staff focused on a McCain aide who had served as a lobbyist for Georgia, charging it showed McCain was “ensconced in a lobbyist culture.” Obama’s campaign came off as injecting petty partisan politics into an international crisis. This was not a serious response on behalf a man who aspires to be the leader of the Free World. After all, what’s so bad about representing a small former Soviet republic struggling to remake itself as a Western-style democracy?
John F. Kennedy
Delivered June 26, 1963 in West Berlin
Actually, the correct phrase is
Ich bin Berliner.
Ich bin EIN Berliner means ‘I am a jelly donut.:
And they are delicious.
Someone better tell the Germans.
I spent my childhood in Russia and most Russians are not Westerners deep down. As long as they can get sausage and vodka in stores they could care less who the masters are. They think such notions as freedom and civil rights are naive and decadent and that the people need a firm hand. Russia will never become westernized because they are reflexively hostile (not merely unaccustomed) to the values required to allow this. It is a society and culture which swings between the extremes of utter repression and brutality (as under Stalin) and near-total corruption-as-a-way-of-life (as under Brezhnev.)
Putin would eat Obambi’s lunch geopolitically. It’s not even a contest.
Well, the Russians have historically had nothing but authoritarian leaders. The tsars were absolutists (even the most liberal of the bunch made only modest positive changes for the non-aristocrats). Then came the October Revolution. A quasi-democratic provisional government took power but the leadership had no opportunity to do much when the Bolsheviks took over. Most historians believe the provisional government would have ended up with a leadership that would have simply been a right-wing dictatorship instead of the Communist dictatorship that developed.
After the Communists finally took full control and established the USSR, it was merely another 7 decades of the same authoritarian rule that had been the norm for the previous 4 centuries.
Putin is nothing but a Communist posing as a democratic leader and, in his case, the old adage about a leopard and its spots is true.
A communist? That is the not nearly as bad as his being a former KGB man in East Germany where they were at their worst.
McClatchy had a great report that said we warned Georgia not to stir up trouble in South Ossetia but they bombed the capital anyway. We also apparently told the Russians that if there was trouble and they responded to confine it to South Ossetia. (McClatchy was the only major news outlet that got the WMD story right, so I trust their Washington bureau. We should all make a point of reading their reports. Funny how their reporters are used on political shows except sometimes on NPR.)

Good thing we have a Russian expert as our Sec’y of State……
Russian serfdom and American Slavery have a lot in common.
Both groups were ‘freed’ in the late 19th century. (Bosnia and Herzegovina didn’t abolish the practice until 1918)
Serfs (unfree peasants under feudalism) were not imported to Russia as they belonged, at birth, to the land owned by the upper classes.
The Russian people know all too well the conditions of bondage. (Read Gogol’s Lost Soul’s for a first-hand description. Actually, his protagonist’s scheme of registering DEAD peasants is eerily similar to Obama’s)
Interesting that you never hear about descendants of serfs demanding anything from former serf-owners.
JB…that is so interesting. The Brits used to have a philosophical concept about the East/West political/cultural devide. It’s archaic definiton now sounds almost quaint…They described what they called the ” Oriental Mind “. History is after all only a record of Human Behavior. Western Philosophers have always been fairly baffled by this ” Oriental Mind ” and of course Russia was culturally included in this Eastern Sensibility. Because of this philosophical conundrum The West ( Descendants of the Romans ) have always been baffled by the East ( Descendants of the Mongols ) figuratively speaking…….
The first recorded instances outside of the Bible of Guerilla Warfare and Religious Fanaticism is the Romans baffled and distressed by Jews willing to die to defend their Temple and their religion which was inseparable from their identity as a People……The Romans identified this as a distasteful aspect of the Oriental Mind……and tried to get those recalcitrant Jews to behave like other conquered Peoples like the Egytpians who they never trusted either….
Until the West and The East learn to understand each other we will continue to underestimate each other and clash. One thing the West has tried to do is seek the pragmatism of doing business…But we don’t like the way the East does Business. Democracy our way is a threat to the Eastern sensibility and until the East adjusts Culturally and the West faces this fact these clashes will continue. Putin wants to regain Strategic control the Soviet Block had and this is both predictable and he has stated it. Once again GWB has underestimated the East. Frankly, we just don’t know how much Putin wants back but I think folks in Georgia and Ukraine have a right to be nervous. This is why the study of History is so important…..sigh…..imho
Thanks Charles for the video clip.
The way McCain spoke brought a tear to my eye. I trust McCain to keep us safe, I don’t trust Obama to do the same. Obama’s a spoiled child who’s not being straight with the American people regarding his past, BC and so many things. His lack of experience… and now I hear on FOX NEWS George Clooney is giving him advise on the Middle East… give me a break. What next…
Ali Baba and the forty thieves.
LOL …
Clooney ( sigh ) has drunk the Palestinian Koolaid served by Uncle Jimmy….chuckle….There can be a solution but the Palestinians will not negotiate on splitting Jerusalem as their capital. Many Muslims are taught that Jews have no cultural or historical claim to Jerusalem or Israel, that the Temple Mount is the ruins of a Roman Army Barracks and is a Holy Site On the Prophets magical mystery trip complete with hitchin Post….and Now we have Black Liberation Theology stripping JESUS of his Jewish Cultural and Ethnic Identity to further erode Jewish Historical Claim to the Holy Land and promote another form of Anti-Semitism and align with the political agenda of Muslims especially the Nation Of Islam. Theocracy is just another Form of FASCISM. Divide and Conquer from the left seems to be the new approach.
Liberation Theology is Marxism Wrapped in the Baby Jesus…..
Black Liberation Theology is the FASCIST Daughter of the Marxist Parent…
Theocracy is Religious Fascism……..
FASCISM IS THE ANTITHESIS TO DEMOCRACY…….AND HAZARDOUS TO THE HEALTH OF INDIVIDUAL THINKERS WHO HAVE THE COURAGE TO EXPRESS AND ACT IN DISSENT……
***** History shows that any Country is vulnerable to Fascism…..******
IF FOX NEWS SAYS IT IT MUST BE TRUE! THEY ARE THE MOST FAIR NEWS NETWORK, UNLIKE MSNBC AND CNN WHO ARE IN THE TANK FOR OBAMA!
FOX NEWS IS THE ONLY NETWORK THAT IS FAIR TO HILLARY! ALL TRUE DEMOCRATS KNOW THAT FOX NEWS IS THE BEST!
I wouldn’t overestimate their fairness. It is their current interest to show some balance.
Sometimes they say things that are so lame I could scream.
They were fair with Hillary but not exactly the knight in shining armor.
I agree…
It’s a little spooky at FOX NEWS right now as they are being soooo nice to O… I think though after the convention if O’s the one all hell will break loose, just a little…
from FOX with Love… to O
McCain is the real deal, scars and all. Obama is a creation of Madison Avenue and MTV with precious little real world experience.
Now, which one do you want facing down Vladimir Putin over eastern Europe and Mahmoud Ahmedinijad over Iran’s nuclear program?
It’s either going to be Hillary or McCain.
There are no other options!
I hear ya… for me too.
I thought of writing Hillary’s name in as we can do that in MA. But since we’re such a loyal blue state I will vote for Mac just to keep O’bummers numbers down.
I thought about writing in her name too, but my state doesn’t allow it. I’m in OK. It doesn’t really matter since there is no WAY we will go for Obambi! However if it turns out to be Hillary, I think she COULD take this state. With such strong ties to AK. There is a spill over effect. She won here in the primary easily.
It wouldn’t be an easy fight in the general, but I think it’s one she could win!
Oooops that should be AR not AK! ^_^
I think she could too
If Hillary is not on the ballot, do not, I repeat, do not write her in. It may make you feel better, but any write in or third party vote is one more chance of Obama winning the election and one less chance of his losing.
McCain put it so well. I guess that is why I am voting for him.
But why do I have this sinking feeling that we will hear something very similar coming from Obama and his telepromter.
He’s a parrot, that’s why. He hears things and then repeats them just like a parrot, no? He’s a MacParrot. LOL … sorry … it’s late… and I’m losing it. LOL
just like in the primaries, obama lets the other person answer and then says the same thing (if it sounds good). He not capable of making a decision on his own.
obama is a follower, not a leader. We need a leader in the White House.
McCain’s not my first pick, but if I can’t have Hillary, then he’s the best option against Obama.
McCain’s speech was much more moving than Obama. Obama did not have a teleprompter, so he was unsteady. McCain’s speech was from the heart, so he did not need a teleprompter. Score one for McCain.
Obamba 08!
THE TRAITOR DOPE-BAMA IS JUST FINE WITH RUSSIANS SENDING TROOPS TO GEORGIA. MY NEW HERO JOHN MCCAIN SOUNDS LIKE A TRUE PRESIDENT WHEN HE SPEAKS!
WE ALL KNOW THAT A REAL PRESIDENT HAS GRAY HAIR! JOKE-BAMA HAS ALL BLACK HAIR, AND IT IS CURLY AND NAPPY TOO BOOT!
BUT I WONDER HOW BAD THE SITUATION IN GEORGIA REALLY IS? I JUST SPOKE TO MY SISTER IN ATLANTA AND SHE SAYS SHE IS FINE AND HAS SEEN NO FIGHTING. COULD THE MEDIA BE HYPING THIS STORY TO DISTRACT FROM GAY-BAMA’S FAKE BIRTH CERTIFACATE?
Enough parody trolling, please.
Thank you Mr. Murder. If it were either entertaining or funny well… But it’s neither.
COULD THE MEDIA BE HYPING THIS STORY TO DISTRACT FROM GAY-BAMA’S FAKE BIRTH CERTIFACATE?
I wouldn’t put it past them. Especially since we are so close to cracking the case. Has your sister checked out Macon, by chance?
except he can’t remember what he has said or where he is or who he’s talking about.
I can’t help it. McCain’s words comforted me and helped me to see which country to identify with as a democracy.
It was not clear with Obama.
Lead me. I am your American citizen. I have a loud mouth and a big heart. For now at least, tell me what is right…I want a leader.
I believe John McCain should exploit his age and wisdom in the sense that it is comforting, and somehow protective.
I feel SO scared with Obama for president. I don’t want McCain, I want Hillary, but McCain at least, for ONCE during the past several months made me feel a little ok.
Dear McCain big tops:
Push him as a protective and comforting leader. You ought to understand that many of us are scared with the prospect of an inexperienced and blase candidate such as Obama.
PLEASE. Please someone come out to lead and make me believe again. I am so worried for the USA I have actually shed tears. I feel like we are in limbo, without any guidance, please…let’s make it right. If not Hillary, make it McCain, I can’t deal with Obama.
I AGREE! MCCAIN IS LIKE A COMFORTING GRANDFATHER WHO WILL PROTECT OUR NATION AND GIVE US WERTHER’S CANDY!
Does it interest the author of this and the preceding post that McCin has also called for a United Nations Security Council resolution condemning Russian aggression? Does this make him a moron too?
How about the fact McCain has called for the withdrawal of Russian forces from Georgian territory, and he also proposed an emergency NATO session and a peacekeeping force in Georgia.
Exact text from Monday speech by McCain: “The United States and our allies should continue efforts to bring a resolution before the UN Security Council condemning Russian aggression, noting the withdrawal of Georgian troops from South Ossetia, and calling for an immediate ceasefire and the withdrawal of Russian troops from Georgian territory. We should move ahead with the resolution despite Russian veto threats, and submit Russia to the court of world public opinion.”
Sometimes we wish so hard for something, we are blinded by reality.
“Sometimes we wish so hard for something, we are blinded by reality.”
We’ve been saying that about you Obot Zombies for months. Glad to see you are finally getting it.
I grew up in Hungary. My family members were prosecuted for their political and religious beliefs. I was two years old when the Russian Army broke down our fight for freedom. I was quite young when they did the same in Czechoslovakia.
Russia has been and wants to be an empire again. It is not in their psyche to understand freedom or sympathize with nations who want freedom.
They will never stop wanting to control more of the world.
Obama doesn’t understand this. He thinks, he can change the mind of the Russian leaders with some kind words. He is a total moron. He doesn’t know the first thing about diplomacy.
Making statements doesn’t change a thing. Taking actions does. Such as getting Georgia and Ukraine in to NATO.
The Old Warrior knows it first hand how successful are just words versus firm actions - or even the prospect of those firm actions.
Many Americans believe that we have to keep our house in a good shape and the rest is not our problem.
It is our problem. We do have to keep our house in good order and we do have to help peace in the world. If we don’t do that, it will come back to us with a vengeance.
Obama’s dangerous inexperience is unacceptable. This was his 3:00 am call and he failed it.
We all have to go to vote against him. We all have to minimize his chance to become the President of the USA.
Very Well Said.
Many Democrats in power are planning on Obama having good advisers to instruct him how to act in major crisis. What kind of craziness is that? Who could back someone that doesn’t have a reasonable amount of good sense? And, since when did Obama take advice? He’s too arrogant to rely on good advice and that’s why he’s constantly making these gaffs.
They aren’t going to give Hillary a just convention. Already the kool aid drinkers are bad mouthing her for putting her name in nomination. But if it were the opposit, and it were Obama looking for a nomination, you’d bet he’d get it. I’m urging all that is reading this, if Hillary is not the nominee, we work just as hard for McCain to defeat Obama. I’ve had it with the stupid moves of the Democratic Party. I won’t even vote for Obama if Hillary is his vp. NO OBAMA!
I AGREE! HELL, I WON’T EVEN VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATS IF HILLARY IS THE NOMINEE! WE MUST PUNISH THE DEMOC-RATS TO SAVE THEM!
PLUS, IT WOULD SERVE ALL OF THESE DOPED-OUT COLLEGE KIDS RIGHT IF MCCAIN TAKES AWAY ROE V WADE AND WHATNOT! LET THEM FEEL LIKE IT WAS FOR US BACK IN THE 60S AND EARLY 70S!
ONCE THESE B*TCHES WHO VOTED FOR CRAP-BAMA OVER HILLARY HAVE HAD A FEW YEARS OF BACK-ALLEY ABORTIONS, THEY’LL COME CRAWLING BACK TO OUR SIDE! THEY WILL NEVER AGAIN VOTE FOR AN UNQUALIFIED BLACK MAN OVER A WHITE WOMAN AGAIN!
Will you please stop your abusive, disgusting, and misleading trolling? Your not fooling anybody “HillFan”. Make some productive use of your time and discuss the issues with your fellow brain dead Bambi supporters. We don’t need your clever racist comments to tarnish our discussion. Please leave and never come back!!
Anything typed in all caps and I skip the post.
Whoever HillFan2012 is, please check the statistics on the number of states and locations where abortion is no longer an option without one change to Roe v Wade.
The only thing it will prove is that intimidation and terrorism, and yes, murder, can stop what the courts legalize if you get scared enough.
And these same tactics are being used to eliminate Barack Obama’s opposition right here on this site. Ferreting out private information to harass and threaten those who disagree with you is the farthest thing from democracy and is a crime.
And reverse psychology won’t work on us.
“Many Democrats in power are planning on Obama having good advisers to instruct him how to act in major crisis.”
Yes, and my answer to those Dems is that Dick Cheney was a brilliant adviser when he answered to a competent President (Bush I) and a disaster when he served an unqualified President (Bush). Dems don’t know anything about the Executive Branch. Except for Bill and Hil, they’ve never been near it.
Ted if any parts of Obama’s speech duplicated McCain it was probably wqas not heard due to his stuttering, many misprononciations of simple words, and need to repeat sentences he did not read from the telprompter right.
If any of my students had screwed up such an important speech as that like Obama did, they would have gotten a very poor grade.
You can’t really take what McCain has to say seriously. I mean one of his senior advisors was a lobbyist for Georgia. McCain cannot act as a honest broker in this matter. Barack Obama is the only one with the charismatic and diplomatic know how to bring about peace is the Caucasus.
this comment is satire right?
please tell me you are kidding
