Hundred year John

Know what I don't like about John McCain? it's one of the same things I dislike most about George Bush and Dick Cheney and their former colleague Don Rumsfeld. They all seem to think we're all so stupid and childish and primitive that they can accuse anyone trying to see the occupation of Iraq in the light of reality as wanting to "surrender" and expect us to start hooting and making animal noises in agreement.

That McCain reverts to the obnoxious rhetoric of the supporters of the Viet Nam mistake shouldn't be surprising , but it's still obnoxious and cheap and misleading and designed to stir the blood of the bloody minded idiots that support all war for the sake of victory of any kind.
“Candidate Clinton has called for surrender and waving the white flag,”
he said today in West Palm Beach.
"I think it’s terrible. I think it’s terrible.”
I think it's irresponsible. I think it's irresponsible. It's childish and insulting hyperbole; not so much insulting to Mrs. Clinton as it is to all of us. It's insulting to have to listen to him boast about the "hard earned gains" we've made against al Qaeda when it isn't al Qaeda he's talking about. Whatever gains we've made in Iraq has been at the expense of Iraq and of the maimed and murdered Americans stationed there, not of John McCain and that "success" has been so flimsy that he foresees a century of occupation. The kind of mind that sees everything only in terms of victory or surrender is either a dishonest mind, a disturbed mind or a mind more appropriate to a blue nosed baboon than to a man who would be President.

...or it's simply mindLESS. McCain IS too old to be starting out as president and if hell froze over and he got the job he would bring in all the same old cronies that have been prostituting themselves around Washington for decades. (Wolfowitz is already back).
But it just goes to show you, in America, despite all of the lies, lives, and invasions of privacy we have suffered from Bush, if a politician follows his lead he will still get alot of support. It's amazing. The baboon leading the other baboons I guess.

We are apes, after all and we enjoy acting like apes in any fashion we can get away with, from pro football to shock and awe invasions.

I read that people hired to make telephone smears of Romney in South Caroline are instructed to pronounce Iraq as eye-rack, which shows how they pander to the more apelike amongst us.

I remember, back in the day, that you could always tell which side of the Viet Nam question someone was on if they pronounced it to rhyme with meat-ham. An almost infallible indicator of Neanderthal origins.
