I wonder if this was a senior moment that caused McCain to screw up this bad. I mean there is no way he would put so much attention on Obama being willing to talk to Hamas, if he had actually remembered that he himself said he would as well not all that long ago..

McCain might not be so keen after he finds out folks are phone banking for Obama:

"Ahmed Yousef, a political adviser of the anti-Israel terrorist group Hamas said Hamas supports Obama last Sunday.
"We don't mindâ;;actually we like Mr. Obama. We hope he will (win) the election and I do believe he is like John Kennedy, great man with great principle, and he has a vision to change America to make it in a position to lead the world community but not with domination and arrogance," Yousef said in an interview on WABC radio.
In recent days, Obama's position on the Isreali-Palestinian conflict has been scrutinized. One of his Middle East advisers, Robert Malley, resigned over the weekend after reporters found Malley had met with Hamas."

Remember that McCain was against the administration's policy on torture until he supported it. I remember McCain and Warner speaking against the use of torture on captive but McCain then help pass a bill in congress to let Bush, Cheney, and all their cabinet members off the hook for war crimes retroactively.

Unless my memory has completely failed me I was under the impression that Hamas was the duly elected government of the Palestinians. How then can a elected head of state unilatteraly be be outlawed? Oh hell I forgot about Sadam Hussein, well nuff said.....

The same Arabs that are funding the Sunni insurgency in Iraq - you know, the funding that NO one complains about because nothing 'bad' can be said about the Saudi buddies of the Bush and Cheney clans.
And, how racist of you, automan909 ....

That would be an Arabic name, not a "Muslim" name.. This may come as a shock to you(and most republicans), but Arabic doesn't automatically equate to Muslim.. Just like having the name, John Smith, doesn't automatically make one a christian...

HA!
automan admits to bein completely ignorant!!
Man Alive auto! You got balls! To come on and ADMIT that you make intellectual connections based on 'seems liek it might be connected' ''logic''...
How do you have the strength of will to stand out in front of a crowd and proclaim "I am too lazy to think and am PROUD of my self proclaimed ignorance."
It SOUNDS Muslim ... ergo ... IT MUST BE MUSLIM.
Just liek, Goerge Bush SOUNDS liek a species of flora ... ergo ... IT MUST BE SOME KINDA SHRUB.
Or how bout this one ... Math SOUNDS liek bath ... so Math must be for washin.
Or this ... Cheney SOUNDS liek CHAINS ... ergo ... Cheny must mean someone who ENSLAVES.
FOX SOUNDS liek ... SNEAKY ... ergo ... FOX must INTENTionally be tryin to be sneaky.
Oh wait... That last one might be true.

McCain has been for and against just about anything you can think of. Recently, he can't even remember what he was for in the morning, so he sees no contradiction in being against it in the evening. Sad, where a once decent man has fallen.
