Somebody needs to check and see if he is oriented to time, person and place.

At 10 billion a month in direct costs and another 20 to 30 billion in indirect (Defense spending that supports the force structure to support the war) and the indirect costs (oil at 126 a barrel) what are we taxpayers getting for this investment?

Zero.

There is no guarantee Iraq will be at peace in 2013 or 2023 or 2033. None.

McCain's one of those who still believe if we had stayed the course in Vietnam we'd have ended up winners.

Obama will help America see through your lies. His team is already working on exposing the straight-talk express.

Anyone who believes this, please contact me...I have a bridge for sale!

[KillTheMessenger]

Me too! But mine is bigger and it comes with your own personal aircraft carrier! Beat that!

He forgot the part..."Th­ere will be more Wars"

[barackobama4prez]

Sadly he will believed by millions of Americans, or even if he's not believed, they will still vote for him to preserve the status quo. Average Americans MUST come out to support the democratic nominee and send a strong message to republicans that they have to have INCLUSIVE policies for ALL americans.

Could he be saying that the Bush Administration and the GOP are failures? Yup, he did.

Straight talk is a GOP code name for straight BS.

I didn't realize that when Hillary was saying "...the light will come down and celestial choirs will be singing and everyone will know that we should do the right thing" that she was actually a reference to John McCain until now.

John McCain worked hard to give America 8 years of George W. Bush.

That disqualifies him to talk about what is good for America.

All who supported Bush must go down with Bush.

I compare McCain's speech to Richard Nixon saying that he had a "secret plan" to end the Vietnam War during his own presidential campaign. This of course turned out to be complete BS and was one of the many reasons he was referred to as "Tricky Dick" during his presidency.

McCain's Straight-Talk Express has been veering off the Road of Reality for a long time now.

[neocon666]

And he wants to take all of America along for the ride.

Old style politics, promise them the moon and then do whatever afterwards. This don't work
anymore. The damage these Republicans have done to their party is irrepairable!

[ClydeSloppers]

John, us white, working class, blue collar men and women hear you. We like you. And even though most of us didn't vote in the primaries we will come out in force to vote for you.
