so McCain admits Iraq invasion wrong!

One has to wonder if he realizes he was one of the biggest advocates for a "nation invading another nation" in this, the 21st century.

God, if you compare McCain's many gaffes or whatever they are to the pictures we saw of bush at the Olympics and think about it for a minute you want to cry or scream. The first man has a shot at being the president for the next four years and the second one has been the president for the past eight years. How the hell could this presidential race be as close as it appears.

I don't know if McCain has Alzheimer's or if he is just so nervous that he doesn't know what he's saying. Either way, it scares me. Imagine him speaking to another head of state over a serious emergency matter. Will he be thinking straight and be level headed? I'm not so sure.

Could our side ever get away with an ad like this?

I can already imagine the GOP spin on an Alzheimer's diagnosis.. "Now McCain is even more like Reagan!"

McCain needs an alzheimers test!

The Washington Post quoted McCain’s statement without irony:

McCain, speaking to reporters in Birmingham, Mich., also praised Bush’s announcement but said he was concerned the cease-fire did not do enough to guarantee Georgia’s “territorial integrity.” “I’m interested in good relations between the United States and Russia,” he said. “But in the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations.”

So either McCain doesn’t think it counts when America invades other nations or he’s not aware of his own policy record, but either way the Post doesn’t think there’s anything worth noting there.

John McCain is the biggest joke in political history this guy will stumble his way into office.

McCain is even more of a puppet than Bush is. Like Bush, he simply spews whatever he is told to spew. Why do you think he gets in so much trouble with his own campaign when he "goes off message"? Even when Bush ad-libbed (badly), he stuck to the talking points. When McCain ad-libs he's all over the map, and forces his campaign to issue idiotic statements like "the candidate does not speak for the campaign".

What kind of dips come with a Miss Buffalo Chip?

EJG@8

the only 'danger' the protestors pose to is the ruling class. and, their only real weapons are words, and the chance of waking people up from their corporate-sponsored slumber.

but, in a visual world, the ruling class knows two things:
1) they need to keep the people from speaking out--democracy MUST be stifled

2) they have to give the illusion that people exercising their constitutional rights are somehow dangerous and nefarious. and by putting people behind razor wires, with the cameras on the other side, they are able to leave an impression that the protestors are a threat. when the exact opposite is true.

it is sad to see the DNC employing the same unconstitutional 'free speech zones' as the GOP.

note to DNC and GOP: AMERICA is a free speech zone. stop caging americans, stop pissing on our rights.

Swiftboating goes Mainstream.
I saw this last night. Nice to see someone proving this asshat and his tactics are nothing but smear and innuendo.
The asshat didn't have a leg to stand on. And he had the audacity to say ad hominem attacks coming from Media Matters.
I think that this book( if you can call it that) will have minimal affect. Sure, some brain dead clowns will buy into it.
But that doesn't mean it's true. They got nuthin.

I could be wrong about this, but I think it's brain cancer.
He just recently had melanoma removed from his temple(right side) . Not a good place to get one.
It wouldn't take long for it to penetrate the temple. Nothing there to slow it down. Just my opinion.

From what I've seen of him mcsame seems unwell and he's getting worse.
I don't believe for a second that the race is as close as the MSM bullshit polls would have you believe. If you consider just the number of people registering to vote he's already lost. They just don't want you to know how desperately in the hole he really is because it makes it that much harder to steal the election when the time comes.

Exactly! When it was revealed this week that the McCain people were "limiting" McCains use of the phone because he tends to lead with whatever the last thing that was said to him, should scare the shit out of ANY voter. If he were to be (s)elected, who would be actually running the country? It will be exactly like bush the puppet, with others pulling the strings.
How can you be president when you can't even remember from day to day what you support or don't support? He often answers questions with "I'll have to get back to you on that". He has to ask someone else where he stands.

Since Georgia borders Iran anyone else think sending troops to Georgia is a prelude to war with Iran?

US troops south of them, to the east of them and now north of Iran, hmm... I'd feel nervous if I were Iran. F-ing BushCo!!!!

Really good stuff today. The Gitmo on the Platte story is chilling, Jill and Steve have good pieces on lying scumbag Jerome Corsi, and Wolcott's piece is pretty damn funny.

WASHINGTON - The number of homeowners stung by the dramatic decline in the U.S. housing market jumped last month as foreclosure filings grew by more than 50 percent compared with the same month a year ago, according to data released Thursday.

Nationwide, more than 272,000 homes received at least one foreclosure-related notice in July, up 55 percent from about 175,000 in the same month last year and up 8 percent from June, RealtyTrac Inc. said. That means one in every 464 U.S. households received a foreclosure filing last month.

2,059,201 American homes in jeopardy thanks to George the drunk.

What Nancy Pelosi has waiting for any protesters in Denver

steel cages topped with razor wire in a Gitmo, Abu Garib, Pier 57 style warehouse, tazer warning signs are free as are the proposed beatings.
Rudi Guliani would be proud of Nancy, maybe he consulted for the DINOs.

re. Bob Fertik: Did McCain get an alzheimers test?

I think someone should write a book about this; preferably a Dr. Maybe the guy who wrote "Bush's Brain". Then he could go on Larry King and spread the word.

Maybe it would "raise the question" as Jerome Corsi would say, after all, it is a legitimate concern what with the Reagan thing and all.
