Intel report to be used against McCain
Intel report to be used against McCain
By J. Taylor Rushing

Senate Democrats on Thursday left little doubt they will use reports criticizing the Bush administration for its handling of pre-war intelligence against presumptive GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain of Arizona.

To Democrats, the Intelligence Committee reports represent part of a series of events that should sway voters against McCain, who supports maintaining the U.S. mission in Iraq.

“There’s this drip-drip-drip, one thing after another after another,” said Sen. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan. “It’s a constant reality of the misinformation that got us into the war and the bad judgments that have kept us in the war.”

But Republicans rushed to McCain’s defense, noting that his military background and status as a POW during the Vietnam War means he is more likely to avoid the mistakes Bush made, or those Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.), the presumptive Democratic nominee, could make.

3. Oh, yeah, Johnny the Wonder Boy--
Made it through Annapolis by the skin of his teeth, and then only because his old man was an Admiral. (You gonna be the one to flunk the Old Man's kid?)

Worst pilot his flight instructors ever saw.

Cracked up 4 or 5 planes before getting himself shot down & taken prisoner.

Temper like a rat with a surgically severed septum (the term is septal rage)

Wonderful family man, as we all know

Doesn't know a Shiite from a Sunni or why it matters

Bomb-bomb-bomb, bomb-bomb Iran

Wow, that's sure who I want for the next 4 years.

4. WE know that stuff, but the general public doesn't, nor will anyone
mention his military history, such as it is.
But all bets are off when it comes to his senate weathervaning and all the screw-ups he's made, just in the past few months. No doubt he'll make more.

5. No mention of his protection of other Repubs involved with Abramhoff?
If there's any single reason he's the (R) presumptive nominee, that would be my guess.

The GOP is being blackmailed and held hostage because McInsane believes he deserves to be pResident, and he's got the emails to prove it.

Lie down with dogs....
