Oh, Austin.
God saw George W. Bush selected as President; do you think God didn't know what He was doing?
The economy is strong. The economy is strong. The economy is strong.
There.
And Senator Cain will make a fine commander-in-chief. He's a pilot, for Heaven's sakes. He sees things from a higher vantage point, far above other men. And then he bombs their sleeping villages. His priorities are in order.
As further proof: he dumped the aging mother of his children, who raised them alone during Cain's POW years, in order to marry a beautiful heiress with drug issues.
No wonder everyone considers him the most qualified to be President.

Hillary, like most of the Democrats, won't have the guts to stand up to the war machine, no matter how destructive the war will be to America.
And the media will not question anything. They will march along ready to send in more reporters for "action shots."
Obama has been the only candidate willing to stand up to obvious war mongering by McCain who seems to want out Bush Bush by creating his own unnecessary war.

Dear Mr. Cline,
Once again you completely fail to address the immense appeal of a straight talking guy like the Maverick. Here's a man who during the Viet Nam war was not only shot down and imprisoned but managed to escape almost certain death in another incident entirely. While waiting to take off from the deck of the U.S.S. Forrestal McCain decided to play a joke on the guy plane behind him by "wet starting" his own plane which sent a giant flame out of his tail that set off a missile on the other planes wing. The missile hit McCain's plane and set off two bombs he was carrying. The ensuing fire killed 167 sailors aboard the ship. Now, get this, McCain not only miraculously escaped the explosion and fire but was the very first person ferried off the ship by helicopter even though he wasn't even wounded. There have been rumors that the crew of the Forrestal wanted to lynch him for his innocent prank but these have been thoroughly discredited by the RNC. Now you tell me, Mr. Cline; who wouldn't want a commander-in-chief with that kind of good luck?

if even half of that story is true, we should all hear a lot more about it. for it sounds like the kind of prank that George Jr would play and we all know how good his brand of 'luck' has been for the country.

"Hillary... I don't think she has spoken about McCain's little problem with reality here... Does she still think that he, like she, are the only ones running for president who are qualified... to be Commander in Chief ?"
Hillary the Warrior Princess was too busy telling Bosnian war stories to worry about reality this week, so the job of attacking Presidential McCain fell to Bill. Here's what he had to say:
"I think it would be a great thing if we had an election year where you had two people who loved this country and were devoted to the interest of this country.”
McSame may never recover. Getting dick-sucked so thoroughly and so often must take a lot out of an old dude.

It seems as though Hillary would love to prove her "toughness" by starting a war, much as George did. This middle-aged white guy would rather trust Obama's judgement, than Hillary's experience having tea in Ireland or hugging little girls in Bosnia. She's got something to prove.

To all above commentators: the story about the Maverick is absolutely true and is only another reason to give this worthy man our vote! If anyone has a problem with that, google up McCain, Forrestal.

There are two issues relative to scrubbed military service record for McCain. The first, is that he also goes by the name of John Songbird McCain, a name allegedly given to him by his Vietnamese captors. This is easily googled, but all references to it are either anonymous, or given by references that I am unable to verify as credible sources. The second, the Forrestal incident, is weighted on both sides of the blame game by witnesses who claim to have been sailors on the ill-fated ship at the time. At best, it is a "he said/ he countered" exercise.
I hate to say this, but as much as these stories may point to a less than heroic history from someone who is banking on heroism to gain the White House, it smacks of Swiftboating.
I, for one, believe that he was the smart ass son of an admiral who got away with WAY more than he would have without this status, and find it entirely plausible that he got preferential treatment as a captive also because of this status, but we can't use any of it as a rallying cry. Without concrete evidence, it would diminish our positions on other substantive current issues and likely would detract from our moral authority over the Swiftboating cretins of the Right.

To answer your question, Mr. Cline, I think the flower beds outside the White House are very nicely configured. Everything else needs immediate attention.

Change!!!! ---- Republicrats calling for a 'change' is akin to the devil saying that hell is a vacation paradise. The only change we'll get is the color of the piss leaking down on us. Bush can't think and probably never had an original idea in his whole life. He's a republicrat puppet --- run by big business and the oil industry --- Ya want more poverty, lower taxes for the wealthy and no middle class then vote rethuglican.

Why Brother Cline, I believe you nailed it. I think the major theme of this election has to be “A Vote For John Sidney McCain is a Vote for War With Iran.”
Of course if Hillary Clinton is the Democratic nominee, the major theme will likely be which candidate will kill more Arabs and Persians than the other; but isn’t winning more important than policy anyway?

Honourable Purvis, that is a great story. Wikipedia has a different version:
About 10:50 (local time) on the 29th, while preparations for a second strike were being made ... a Zuni rocket was accidentally fired from an F-4 Phantom II by an electrical power surge during the switch from external power to internal power.
It flew across the flight deck, striking a wing-mounted external fuel tank on an A-4 Skyhawk, either Aircraft No. 405 piloted by LCDR Fred D. White[1] or No. 416 piloted by future Arizona Senator, LCDR John McCain,[4] which was waiting to launch.[3]The warhead's safety mechanism prevented it from detonating, but the impact tore the tank off the wing and ignited the resulting spray of pressurized fuel, causing an instantaneous conflagration.
However, one never knows whether to trust information obtained on teh Internets tubes. The important thing for true conservatives is to get ahead of the story before the liberal media does. And you can be sure that the liberal media will be all over this, considering the number of websites with this fascinating story linking McCain to murderous stupidity. Any day now. Real soon.
At least before June. August at the latest.
There MUST be some link to the Clintons. Clearly they did it to try and assassinate the scion of a manly Admiral of the Ocean Seas. Let's see, Bill was dodging the draft and reporting to his KGB controller in Moscow, but perhaps Hillary was working in a defense plant that manufactured faulty missiles. Except that would imply she worked for the military-industrial complex, which might reflect well upon her. Maybe her rich family owned stock in a defective defense plant!
And if the Demoncrat nominee is Osama, is it possible that his father -- who, incidentally, was black -- was working as a bomb-walla on the carrier? The ocean off Vietnam is close to Indonesia -- where, incidentally, young Osama's madrassa was located -- and that might have played a factor. OK, not REALLY close to Indonesia, except if you look at it in terms of them both being on the un-American side of the International Dateline.
But conservative minds must get to work on countering this story IMMEDIATELY! Because the liberal media will run with it. Why, every time I go to a major newspaper's site, I'm going to be expecting a headline about it.
Coming right up.
Sometime.
We must hurry anyway.

Purvis, the more I think about this "McCain in Flames" story, the worrieder it gets me.
Suppose the lie-berals start demanding that the full report about this long-forgotten incident be released? A prolonged whispering campaign poking at the uncertainties of the case could be tremendously damaging. Good conservatives should make sure that never happens. Thank goodness there are no Dan Rathers around to report on fake memos about McCain's part in it. Maybe some pesky bloggers will try to make it go "bacterial" or whatever it is they call it, but Dorito-stained denizens of their dad's rec room have no influence.
Suppose there were sailors or naval airmen on the Forrestal whose minds were so damaged by hippies spitting on them that they became Dhimmicarts, and they came out of the bulkheads to lie about McCain's role? "Flaming Carrier Sailors for Facts" or somesuch. But I guess that could never happen, war comrades besmirching a brave man just because he was of a different political party. No one would believe them. Whew, sigh of relief!
Similarly, they might try to put on blindfolds to mock McCain's heroism of holding out through hours of gook torture before he began making propaganda announcements to break the morale of his fellow captives. They could even put on fake bandages to ridicule the burn wounds suffered by sailors on the Forrestal. Let them! Any such low blow against a wounded serviceman would undoubtedly turn the stomachs of the mockers' own party, eh?
I fear that the symbolism of McCain's flaming jet exhaust might be used against him. It reminds me of how as a Boy Scout, after eating beans around the campfire, we would pull our pants down in front of our mates. In the flickering firelight, the shifting highlights and shadows would make it seem like each boy's pallid, youthful butt cheeks were dancing in the warm summer air. Oh, how we would stare at each orher excitedly, quivering in anticipation of the thrill that was about to come...
I'm talking about lighting farts, of course. If the Forrestal fire started like you described, it sounds like igniting a gigantic jet-fart. I wouldn't put it past the Demons to ignite their own flatulence at McCain rallies, except GOP Rally Squads would pulverize them when their dacks were down to their ankles. But Dimmmmmms might start holding up flaming lighters as shorthand for satirising McCain.
The danger to America's best hope for a 100-year occupation of the Babylon Oil Colony is grave, my friend. Let's hope these ideas never see the light of day...
