Warning!

I am definitely more on the liberal side. So I am sure that my blogs reflect that.

"I Will Never Surrender In Iraq"

The other night I heard John McCain on the news, and what he was saying honestly scared me. He was giving a speech to some supporters, but kept getting interrupted by anti-war protesters. Finally after one stood up and shouted something, McCain replied by saying to his audience, "I will never surrender in Iraq, my friends, I will never surrender." This made me sick to my stomach that people were applauding him and that he was saying he would never surrender. What does that even mean? You will NEVER surrender? So we are supposed to just stay at war forever? McCain's an idiot, I am sorry. This war sucks and anyone who wants to stay there for "100 more years" is stupid. A former press secretary of Bush's just came out with a book that talks about the war in Iraq being unnecessary. He is a huge loyalist to Bush, but says that the president used propaganda for the war and that his staff was so focused on making it look good, that they ignored the facts that did not do so. This is the problem with the way Washington works--everyone is always in campaign mode and cares about what looks good, rather than what is good. Now McCain and the RNC is trying to use the war in McCain's advantage, playing up the fact that Obama has only been to Iraq once, and that McCain has been there several times. I don't know why they are trying to advertise this as if the people don't already know where the two stand on the war issue. It is not that surprising to me that Obama has not been to Iraq much, when he was against the war from the start, while McCain was not. The RNC's website (http://www.rnc.org/) has almost the same amount of info and pictures on Obama as you would except the DNC to have; however, their info and pictures are obviously negative. I think its funny that rather than have McCain up on their site and talking about why he is a good presdient, they have all of their focus on negatively attacking Obama. I went to the DNC's website (http://www.democrats.org/index.html) and it was the same thing, but not as bad. The first picture is of Bush and Cheney at the private fundraiser this pas weekend and there are a few other parts about McCain. Why don't these websites focus on their candidates more and less on cutting down the others' credibility? Especially when the nominations are not even for sure yet......
