McCain was a victim of Rove and Bush, re the "fathering an illegitimate black baby" story. But the strawman stuff is where they shine. Like Obama didn't stop at a military base today, therefore he doesn't respect the military. They will sell it and people will buy it.

And, did you hear obama's explanation about the 'non'e visit. The pentagon would only
allow' Obama', onto that military base, eventhough they had one of the highest ranking
retired military men as part of their party, and, apparantly that fellow was upset, so
Obama made a decision to avoid it all together, not wanting to leave everyone out,
except him, as, he said it would then, be touted as a 'political' visit, so, he won't win
this one either way

And this surge nonsense. This war has been on for 5 years. Sooner or later things settle just from attrition and time. Hell there is peace in Germany, does that mean Hitler had it right? Did the surge work to bring peace to Vietnam? It's a dumb war and it should've ended years ago, and shouldn't have started in the first place. The end does not justify the means

Yeah, and the republicans are going to do constant overkill re: anything military, as
they push McCain as being the better leader for 'security' and 'Obama' as, not
experienced enough, and that is something that the people will easily get sucked
in by. They jump aboard the patriotic stuff very easily, as their emotions are the
only thing they can display, as they have no control over anything else.
Tell me, just how much experience does a military soldier need to go into another
country and be 'killed', the u.s. certainly doesn't hesitate, they are sent there without
much training at all, just push them through training camp, then push them onto the
battle field, then spout all of your political 'rubbish', and call him a hero, then ship
his dead body back stateside, and never talk about him again.
And, all this talk about McCain's experience, to take care of the american people, is
just another political ploy, to pull at the emotions of the people, and get that patriotic
stuff going, and yes, 'suck them in again'.
