Joe Klein: John McCain's Comment On Obama Wanting To Lose War "Most Scurrilous" He's Ever Heard

Obama Launches Day Of Meetings In Israel

There is no winning or losing in a military occupation. No one will sit across from us at a table and sign the articles of surrender. We will stay there and kill and be killed until we run out of money. Then come home. And that will be that. posted 07/23/2008 at 02:33:39

McCain Camp "Frustrated" With Obama's Trip: Reports

I think it's great that Europe and the Middle-East is excited and worked-up over Obama. It has been seven long years since we could be proud of one of our national leaders. Once again, the world can hope for a better tomorrow.
If McCain had done this, he would be surrounded by a companay of soldiers with helicopters overhead. And I'm sure he would have said things that would embarrass our nation. posted 07/22/2008 at 16:16:40

The Real Legacy of the 'Reagan Revolution'

The poor enable this kind of behaviour by voting against their own economic interest. In large numbers, they vote Republican because of a single issue ot two, like abortion or flag burning. After the election, the poor and middle-class get taken to the cleaners economically.

For some reason, people aren't thinking about economics when voting Republican.
