What on Earth is McCain Talking About?

When Senator John McCain spoke at Liberty University yesterday, he made an urgent appeal for Republicans to unite.

Unite over what? Should Republicans unite over conducting the Iraq War, which has morphed into a civil war any way you look at it?

Could it be that McCain wanted Republicans to unite over those big tax cuts for the rich while the costs of conducting the Iraq War are skyrocketing? Perhaps some students of economics at Liberty University can see the foolishness of this, if they consider future generations paying off the debt, which is now reaching around $10 trillion?

Does McCain want the Republicans to unite over bringing in immigrant labor so millions more can eventually wind up on Social Security and Medicaid along with Medicare, which is already overburdened?

Does McCain want Republicans to unite over maintaining the power of lobbyists, as the freebie trips, plane travel and other perks multiply and remain acceptable as well as available to Republicans holding office?

Perhaps McCain wants the Republicans to unite in demanding that they be given access to those lofty conversations or consultations Bush claims he has when consulting his "other father". Specifically, we want to know if Bush claims he was divinely directed to rush to war in Iraq. If we could find all that out, we might learn how the Almighty consulted with George Bush. So far these communications have been secret.

2. what did he call it before: Straight Talk Express?

now it's Straight Mawk Express

he's revealing himself to be nothing but a typical flipflopping snake oil salesman, just like all the rest

pretty amusing, BUT

the media love him

only hope is that when it comes down to the war hero and the 911 hero in a year or so, that they'll have to choose sides

that's going to be fun

3. I think he means that they should unite behind John McCain.

4. Yeah, pretty much.

6. MCLame has imploded.

His comments about $50 an hr. for picking lettuce was the beginning of the end of his bid for Prez. The RW, Moderate Dems, & those so called Swing Voters aren't buying his pathetic spiel. All of those that were thinking that he would be the next RW contender for Prez. are turning their heads away from this putz.

5. Another Charlatan

He is just another sleazy politician who has received a free ride from the press. I really don't know how it is possible that he has been able to skate through all of the muck so easily.

The guy moved to Arizona only because he knew a Republican veteran would automatically get elected. More telling about who he really is would be the joke he once told of Chelsea Clinton. He said, "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno." He is another Rush Limbaugh, but greatly disguised. He has been able to get away with crap like this just because he was a POW.

7. I'm guessing they'll "unite" over God, guns, and gays again

It's an election year so it's time to trot out their list of golden hits.

Every couple years it's the same thing:
A couple gays are getting married in New England
The Democrats are going to seize your guns.
We're going to end abortion.

The barstool Republicans show up at the polls in droves to protect their "values", then they get another two years of corporate rule that crushes them further.

This year I think they'll try a new fear to get them to the voting booth:
If Dems get elected, they'll impeach the greatest president since Ronald Reagan before he can complete "the mission"... whatever the hell that is.
