So after 6 rounds of Bush hitting Kerry about Vietnam, McCain wants peace

[trumad]

and a truce? Let me get this straight... Bush and his surrogates for the last two months have attempted to tarnish JK regarding Vietnam. The day after (yesterday) Kerry's web page list detailed questions regarding Dubya's NG record, McCain's calling for a truce?

That's like a prize fight where the one fighter has his way for 6 rounds and the minute his opponent starts to hit back the guy offers to let it settle in a tie! No fucking way! I say knock his ass out!

BTW: McCain watching Dubya's back...Me think so in a big way...Fuck McCain!

1. Could be strategy on McCains part

I mean let's face it, he doesn't speak for the Bush Administration. And it seems highly unlikely that the Bush Administration is really going to allow peace. So once the Bush Administration betrays him by continuing to pound on Kerry, well, that gives McCain the greenlight to screw President Bush and support Kerry.

Of course I could be wrong.

2. If he doesn't speak for the Bush Admin

then why is he campaiging for him?

[LittleApple81]

3. I agree. These repugs make me want to throw up. I cannot believe

some people here thought that having McCain on the ticket would even be a possibility. He is a REPUG.

[rucky]

21. McCain is campaigning for himself... in '08

trying to be a peacemaker, but trying to make sure Bush hangs on for another term so he can step in in 4 years.

Band of Brothers my ass... McCain's in this for McCain.

4. bush's Guard record was an issue, so the R's made an issue of

Kerry's record in an effort to neutralize criticism of bush. They want to declare a truce and take the military service records out of the campaign. Kerry should say screw that and keep pounding away.

5. 10 to 1 says the Democrats fall for the shit, too

The Democrats have been falling for this sort of shit for the past three years, I don't have any expectations of them evolving spines any timne in the next decade.

[LittleApple81]

11. I must agree with you on this. Too bad we have spineless wonders. n/t

[redqueen]

13. I'm calling their offices today and letting them know

NO TRUCE

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. Yep. They'll want to play "nice".

[jfxgillis]

20. That includes me!

This is great for the Dems.

"Stopping this stuff now" leaves the Dems winners by default among SWING VOTERS.

If McCain gets good media play on this, it totally demolishes the GOP's strategy, it leaves the GOP shamefaced and sullen while it leaves Kerry RIGHTEOUSLY INDIGNANT.

And if Kerry then GALLANTLY agrees to McCain's "ceasefire" ....

How can you not love this? And not see how McCain is actually STICKING it to the Bush/Cheney creeps?

6. Leave It To Those, Pesky, Chicken-hawks To...

peck the scabs right off of those wounds you have been working so hard to heal. Poor John M. :cry:

7. the morons in the white house put him up to it

mccain still giving in to those assholes. the attacks on his wife on his daughter for having dark skin and other shit and he continues working for their asses. i liked mccain but i'm sick of this. he said not to get into who started it first. hahahha

[teryang]

8. McCain knows Bush will lose this contest

He's trying to quit before Kerry starts to really ask the tough questions. Like, how does an obligated aviator refuse a physical?

[calimary]

9. McCain has no credibility with me.

Anybody who was ripped up by the bushies and comes back later to defend them is NO hero. bushco besmirched his adopted child, his wife, and their marriage. And yet, here comes lapdog McCain, back begging for another bone. It's disgusting. If somebody had done that to MY husband, my adopted child (if I had one) or my marriage, I'd be on his back but good if he stayed loyal to the schmuck. Besides, I myself AM adopted. And I resent the hell out of it. That McCain would give bush a free ride on this is just going too far. YET AGAIN, george is not being held accountable. But McCain lost all my respect for licking bush's boots.

[BabsSong]

10. Maybe they should look into McCain's records---this is a hero???

Sorry, but I lost all respect for him long ago. Not only a hero but just a decent man would stand up and go after the throat of anyone who attacked and insulted his wife (drug addict) and his adopted child like the Bush scum did. Instead, John's assuming the position and carrying water for these people. I've wondered for three years what they have on McCain or have bribed him or what. Stand up like a man, McCain. Lying on your belly doesn't show all those medals they put on your chest.........

[seabeyond]

15. nahhhhh, dont think i will attack mccains military history

just too full of hypocrisy

[lovedems]

12. I welcome McCains positive remarks about Kerry.

He reminds the American people that Kerry served honorably and courageously in Vietnam and that his record should not be an issue. He is dissing the republicans every time he says that. He is telling them to stop the bullshit.

I don't agree with McCain on alot of issues but he and Kerry are good friends from what I gather and anytime he wants to go on network television and remind the voters that Kerry is courageous and would not be soft of defense, I welcome those comments from one of the few republicans who also served his country.

On edit: I am not a fan of McCain but anytime he wants to say something positive about Kerry, that is good.

[mopaul]

14. mc cain's out of his fucking gourd

nuttier than a shit house rat. after what bush did to him in the primaries, he still sides with the baboon. what can i say, he's bona fide, certified, jackin' off in public nuts

[wndycty]

16. I guess Lautenberg started it. . .

. . .LOL he actually called out the Chickenhawks on the Senate floor. LOL Go Frank, Go!

[rock]

17. The only good Republican is ...

Wait! What am I saying? There aren't any good Republicans.

[Hornito]

19. McCain started out well, defending Kerry against the Bush attacks,

but then he became muted over the last two weeks of horrendous assaults. So what happened McCain? Why do some put this right-wing Republican on a pedestal? They look at his few good positions and accomplishments, and forgive the rest (like his campaigning for Bush, and his complete embrace of the PNAC neocons).

As an Arizonan, I say, screw McCain. He has betrayed us, and now is betraying his nation with his support of this illegal, and criminal administration. All the medals and past heroism in the world, don't outweigh his current behavior. His friendship and support of Kerry, is an inch deep, and a mile wide.

[Tellurian]

22. What McCain is saying, it was easier being a POW than...

being a member of the "Creeps-R-US" Party..

[Junkdrawer]

23. "Accountability Time" - take him to the mat...

Rove depended on tarnishing Kerry and then getting him to back off as soon as he decided to counterattack. Kerry should take Dubya to the mat on this one.

[AlinPA]

24. Max Cleland should hammer away on the slime republicans for

saying Kerry did not deserve his medals and questioning Kerry's service in Vietnam. The word AWOL related to Bush should be said every day.

[bluedog]

25. some attacks.* used against McCain.....

one was the push polling.others listed here.
Maybe Kerry can use some of the tactics bush used against McCain
