McCain: "NO PRECONDITIONS" for engaging in diplomacy is NOT the same as "UNCONDITIONAL."
But, you know that, don't you, Senator McCain.

Not surprisingly, Wolf Blitzer missed this when he interviewed the lifelong "small varmit hunter" Mitt Romney at the NRA Convention today in Louisville, Kentucky.

And just now, live on CNN, John McCain repeated this twisted and despicable distortion--Obama will speak with Ahmadinejad "unconditionally" at the close of his speech at the NRA Convention--the same Ahmadinejad who called Israel "a stinking corpse"--nothing like riling up the low-information gun totters!

Republicans have no integrity--John McCain is showing us that he is no better in this regard than George W. Bush.

Barack Obama called McCain out today. This is what he said earlier today...

Well I want to be perfectly clear with George Bush and John McCain – if they want a debate about protecting the United States of America, that’s a debate I’m ready to win, because George Bush and John McCain have a lot to answer for.

"...in the Bush-McCain worldview, everyone who disagrees with their failed Iran policy is an appeaser. And back during his “No Surrender” tour, John McCain said anyone who wants to end the war in Iraq responsibly wants to surrender; he even said later on that he would be ok keeping troops in Iraq for 100 years, but yesterday he said our troops could be home by 2013. He offered the promise that America will win a victory, with no understanding that Iraq is fighting a civil war. Just like George Bush, his plan isn’t about winning, it’s about staying, and that’s why there will be a clear choice in November: fighting a war without end, or ending this war. Because we don’t need John McCain’s prediction about when the war will end – we need a plan to end it.

3. Truly scary to think of McCain's finger on the nuclear trigger, with his temper and disposition.
Your fierce poster reminded me of the fear and loathing I have with the thought of John McCain as our Commander-in-Chief.

2. Hell yeah!
a clear choice in November: fighting a war without end, or ending this war. Because we don’t need John McCain’s prediction about when the war will end – we need a plan to end it.
