Damn. And I thought Romney made me dizzy. What a loon. Glad he didn't switch parties. Sure wouldn't want to be stuck with this idiot.

Awwwwwww. McFriends backpedals, how politically correct of him. Lying POS.

mclair is suffering from alheizmer's or complete stupidity,
frankly i believe it's stupidity.

he will not be able to survive the stress of this campaign
and will more likely suffer a heart attack.

Will nobody challenge him when he says this crap?

"Exactly how and when will the transition to Iraqi security independence begin? Will there be milestones for measuring progress?"

C'mon Fourth Estate, how hard can it be?!?

I had a Bush Republican tell me today that he thinks McCain stinks as a candidate. This Republican has a cardboard Bush in his house and he looked really sad and beaten. He saw my Obama stickers on my car and I asked him if he would vote for Obama and he didn't reply. We got to talking about the loss of jobs because his job could be in jeopardy (outsourced overseas). I told him that Barack Obama wants to eliminate tax incentives to corporations for sending jobs overseas and the Barack Obama wants to give tax credits to corporations that create jobs in this country. The Republican said to me, "I could vote for him, if for that reason alone."

That's right, Rommy may be back. First he cuts and runs and then he wants to stay the course.

soon as in "we're turning a corner" soon or in geologic terms?
either way, he's been wrong on most everything about this war.
why start believing now?

Thank you fellas for giving me something to laugh about. Of course, it's usually countered by the pity I feel for the people who fall for this goofiness.

If McStraightJacket fell on the StraighJacket Express, and nobody was around, would he still look like an idiot?

I believe I can explain it. McCain is a lying liar and he neither knows nor cares that he will be caught at it.

If Romney re-enters the GOP race, will he still support McCain or does he get a do-over on that one?

Only McCain and his folks can make heads or tails of this. Or atleast, they think they can and hope his supporters won't care enough to try to figure out what he's saying.

My friends, the McAin't campaign will be over very soon. Time for my nap now, good bye everyone. Let's do this again tomorrow, OK?

There's no way he's digging himself out of the "100 years" hole. But as long as he's at it, he could always try this old chestnut from Bush:

"I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma ..."

What does the nutjob, shit-for-brains base have to say about this? What is McCain going to say to them when he's begging for their vote?

Can anyone make heads or tails of this ridiculous excuse of a back pedal?

Come on, Nicole!

Must we be as bad as the mainstream media and the Republicans? McCain has always said that his words of "100 years" pertain to an American presence in Iraq, similar to American presence in South Korea - not a 100 year war in which our troops are one of the main combatants. The left (of which I am a proud member) has mischaracterized his message on this (and maybe it will be advantageous for the Democrats), but it sickens me as much as the media mischaracterizations of everything Democratic.

I'm not a John McCain fan (I can't stand him), but I can't stand distortions -- especially when done by our side. We should be above that. It deflates our integrity. Politics is a dirty game, but to call this flip-flopping is a bit dramatic and silly, given the reality.

distortions???

iraq is not japan or korea

after cessation of major hostilities following ww2 and the korean cease fire, how many americans lost their lives? how many japanese or south koreans were part of an insurgency? how many americans are stationed in north korea?

and the "war" was over in 03....we have been occupying the country since then

if the insurgency will continue ad infinitum, how the fuck can mcbamboozled guarantee that no americans will lose their lives?

My friends, the war will be over soon. The war, for all intents and purposes, although the insurgency will go on for years and years and years.

I'd love to see people question him about what actually constitutes the war anymore? He's making a clear point that there is a difference between what he considers the war and the insurgency. I want to know what the war is because I had the impression that the war had been over and we had been fighting an insurgency for the last few years instead. What counts as success in the war? And is it even possible to end the insurgency? Are we even going to try? These are all questions that he needs to answer if he's going to run with Iraq as his central theme (which seems to be his mission now).

Additionally, I'd like to have him define success for our mission in Iraq. I know we've been steadily lowering the bar but it's frankly next to impossible to utterly eliminate the insurgency and make the country as safe as the other countries where we have military forces. We already know the media is going to give McInsane'oTheWarMonger a free ride when it comes to scary questions like this.

I used to think McCain's biggest negative was he's old.

Man, if he's not selling his soul to the Christianists, he's telling you how much he doesn't understand economics. Between the lobbyists and the pandering, everything to him is a whore or a trick.

This guy is a walking disaster.

Mitt or Huckleberry is going to pass this guy up.

I get the impression that most of the people on this site posting the most venomous anti-Clinton and Anti-Obama crap are rather young. Living through a dozen or so elections cycles gives one a little perspective. Some people take personally the rough and tumble of pre-convention politics. The truth is that the Democrats have had an embarrassment of riches this year in terms of candidates. Senator Obama has displayed a mastery of oratory and a sense of diplomacy that would grace any President. If he lacks a depth of experience then I would suggest that as President he would rely on the huge repository of knowledge that resides in places like the State Department.If a President cares to listen. I think he would. Hillary,on the other hand possesses a greater depth of experience and perhaps more insight into the art of the possible.I'm sure she learned a thing or two from her last health care initiative. Has any First Lady endured more abuse and come out stronger for it than Hillary.

Good point. It's almost a shame that both are Democrats really. Both parties need some real leadership and have for a long time. The only thing I could see Hillary bringing to the table is more division. More fighting. More partisan politics. More "sure we'll pass this bill once we add on 100% more pork".....Whether unfair, or truthful, the allegations and mud that comes with Hillary just seems way over the top. I know people are right when they say "you can't get along with Rep politicians" but does America really want to give them ammo? I don't know, but I'd think power or no power, the Dem supporters must be sick of this crap after how many years?

I knew you was smart. There's a lot of keyboards with well worn orange '!' keys in mommies' basements around the country these days, lol.

I'd like to add that the recent upsurge in new commenters (whether from genuine progressives or rovian ratfuckers with multiple monikers - some of both, I'm sure) is a testament to the quality site that John and company run.

I'm leaning toward the Rovian Ratfucker argument. Both candidates are good, and I'm still crossing my fingers for Obama/Clinton. I would gladly take Obama/Edwards, Obama/Kucinich, Obama/Dodd, Obama/Feingold. Definitely not Obama/Lieberman, Obama/Giuliani, or Obama/Paul, though.

Perhaps in 101 years, the Iraqis will love us just like they do in Okinawa right now. A guy can only dream...

I 100% agree. Hillary will embolden the Rebublican obstructionists. Obama will have longer coat-tails, and even the remaining Senators will have to appreciate his popularity. Clinton on the ticket is just because I like her; she's smart and experienced with the horse-trading. It would be a poke in the eye to the misogynist backwash in this country, and, I hate to say it, but she'd be great life insurance for the lunatic fringe would be evil-doers.

Gore. He would have won ~57/43% over McNutty. As he's not an option, I prefer Clinton because she will win (~53/47%). Obama will be much more volatile...he could win 70/30, but he's more likely to lose 30/70 if the Repugs pop his bubble.

You wonder how McCain will get away with his latest specimen of pandering doublespeak about the war?

I heard Wolf Blitzer reporting this statement this afternoon. The lead-in to the story was "Too much straight talk from McCain?".

God, if McCain raped a nun on national TV, Blitzer et. al. would report the fact that he didn't drag her out behind the building first as an act of remarkable candor.

They'll just up the bonuses so that it's harder to resist. There's already a program being tested that gives $40k toward a home or startup business with a four year enlistment and I believe that's outside of the standard enlistment bonus. High school grads that enlist are already getting $10-20k bonuses to enlist and that's not a bad deal for some people.

(Cue Joe Pesci as Leo Getz)
Okay, okay, okay... now the real genius thing is you make the bonus contingent on serving for three years, and make the poor schmuck pay it back if he gets wounded and can't finish it all on active duty...
