Old "Fogey of War" McCain »

We already know McCain is too busy campaigning on his "foreign policy experience" to support our troops, but last night on "Real Time with Bill Maher," Maher took McCain to task for not only doing our troops wrong but for also being just like Bush "who is dumb about war."

McCain going overseas for a photo op of his foreign policy strength did the democratic nominee a huge favor. He looked like a fool, and absolutely blew it.
Maher's comments were more truth than comedy. Or maybe the truth is comedy.

I would observe that foreign policy is new to almost every president we elect. In my lifetime, Eisenhower and Nixon had some; maybe Bush I. Everyone else was pathetically unprepared.

So, after eight years of puerile phantasizing about War and
"protecting America against terrorism", eight years of indiference to our economic strength, and eight years of gnawing at the fundamentals of our Constitution, we are to rejoice in another four years of muddling along the GOP- Gospel of "strength by bullying" and "trickle-down economics" under the adept (!) guidance of an aged "warrior", whose approaching senility is masked by snickering malapropisms and a nervous ocular tic?
Weep for America!

Americans might as well get used to the fact that this country will never not be at war again. McCain obviously has been chosen by those who control the government because he will push the bush agenda of total war and occupation. The question is, where will they go after they conquer the Middle East? I imagine they will wait for McCain to take office before orchestrating another 9/11 to kick off an attack on Iran. Should be a good time. At least I'll be able to say I didn't vote for the dumba$s.

McCain, an expert on foreign policy? He thought Putin was President of Germany. Nuff said.

I dont know the crabs age but I would say that in 1 years time, we will all be in deep doo doo.
But as far as her future generations go, if the fed does not bail out the industry, we will see homes fall by 50% all across the board and that will be good. If you still have any money to buy a house after you have lost your job, as many will and are.And if there are still loans at reasonable rates.
It is all a house of cards.
All this was done to fund this war and line the Bush & Co pockets. They have had their 8 years of party time, now lets get the big boys in there to clean up their mess.
the trickle down from this thing is gonna be nasty, so crablegs wont be singing her sassy song for too long.
Her spawn will suffer if they are upper middle class on down. Who isnt hurt by triple the cost of food?

Tessylo, and there was an even better story about how the press is giving McCain a pass on his LACK of foreign policy expertise.

This guy seems to have a problem with anger.
Hardly a qualification needed to lead our country in 2009.

Maher is hot air. A lot of people have become against all war because it makes them feel intellectually superior and more morally evolved. The "nothings worth fighting for" crowd doesn't have the answer. Huddling in the corner pretending that that there are not groups conspiring against the USA is dangerously ignorant. Hillary and Obama won't get us out if they are elected. It is not that simple. This years election will probably go to the Dems even though they are doing there best to screw up a gimme. Then we will have free health care....yeah right. Last I checked there have been no terrorist attacks in the USA since 9/11. How was taking out Sadam who thumbed his nose at us for 12 years and who harbored terrorists a bad thing? Pacifists will always want to retreat..never lead.

The real world is not Democrat or Republican. We need to stop being emotional and think. I'm telling you Obama or Hillary are not going to get us out of Iraq. It is an emotional chip they use with their voter base. It plays well but it can not be put into practice. Did Johnson get us out of Nam? No. It isn't a simple solution. Blame Bush if you want but he isn't a candidate. The second attact on the World Trade center was on Bush's watch the first was on Clinton. Just to be clear, tessylo. And what difference does it make? Zippo! So go fill up your car with Ethanol and worry about Global Warming. The adults will protect you so you'll be free to spout bumper sticker philosophy.

abntv, I'm not sure what you said that upset tessylo but logic with people that are all emotion gets them angry. I'll just say this as far as Donkeys and Elephants go. Which statement below is logical?
Republicans don't trust government and want less of it.
Democrats don't trust government and want more of it.

Wow tessylo, you are way more angry than necessary. If you want to talk about retreat and free healthcare(with the efficiency of the DMV) then let's discuss policy. I am not a McCain supporter but Maher's rhetoric is filled with prejudice and bile. There are things that could have been done better in the past on both sides but the question is what now? Retreat as much it might make you feel safe for the moment what is the consequence of it long term? GWB is not the enemy. ..................wait a minute..........perhaps you think he is.........
I believe the USA is the most generous,compasionate on the planet. What part of Sadam did you like besides the gassing of his own people, mass burial and rape rooms?
