McCain: Obama More Worried About '08 Campaign Than Losing a War

[sabra]

ABC News' Jennifer Duck Reports: Sen. John McCain used some of his strongest words yet comparing his judgment to his opponent’s saying Sen Barack Obama "would rather lose a war in order to win a political campaign.”

“This is a clear choice that the American people have. I had the courage and the judgment to say that I would rather lose a political campaign than lose a war. It seems to me that Sen. Obama would rather lose a war in order to win a political campaign,” McCain said in Rochester, New Hampshire today around the same time Sen. Obama was speaking with reporters overseas.

McCain continued to attack his Democratic opponent on the surge.

“He was wrong then, he's wrong now, and he still fails to acknowledge--he still fails to acknowledge that the surge succeeded. Remarkable. Remarkable,” McCain said. “He's just received his first briefing ever from Gen. Petraeus. And he declared his policy towards Iraq before he left, before he left.”

2. I would think that most people who would buy in to the

"the Dems want us to LOSE!" bullshit psychology are already voting for McCain...hopefully.

3. McCain, you hoped a terrorist attack would help your campaign

4. There seems to be a real desperate feel to the McSame campaign.

They are throwing everything out there to see what will stick.

Their critical thinking seems to be as feeble as their candidate.

Guess they think the freeps will believe anything and everything.

9. McCain get off your f-in high horse

We already won in Iraq no WMD no nukes no threat to United States you idiot. Its the economy stupid if we don't start getting our shit together we are in some deep shit. We can't afford this bullshit anymore. We have schools that are shutting down hospitals roads falling apart health care huge issues theres more but to pissed right now. We have sacrificed enough lives and money for this useless war.

Don't you even start this crap McCain I hope the American people get smart and quick. We need to get the heck out and get out soon. Here is just a clip and I mean a clip to what is happening and it ain't pretty.


Lawmakers have also been resistant to Treasury's request not to count money borrowed to help Fannie and Freddie against the the national debt ceiling. Currently that ceiling is set at $9.815 trillion. As of last week, the country had racked up $9.5 trillion in debt.
Irrespective of a GSE rescue plan, lawmakers have already taken steps to raise the ceiling to $10.6 trillion in fiscal year 2009 - which runs from October 2008 through September 2009.

Yes 9.5 trillion thats with a big fat T as of last week. As McSame is spouting off tax breaks who the hell is going to pay down this debt? I can tell you we are, Yes you might be spouting off tax breaks while our dollar sinks and inflation rises. Food energy the things that the average Joe has to pay for and thats not a tax hike.

10. McCain is giving America the message of: "McCain, lose a campaign"

..which is hardly a theme to organize a campaign around. It looks like the Republicans don't have any issues to run on.

[RaRa]

12. He and his campaign are so pitiful, and it's only July!

The Daily Show and Colbert Report are going to have alot of fun this fall.

[Megahurtz]

13. McCain more worried about War

than anything else.

No more War!

[Politicalboi]

14. This guy is desperate

Just now on HardBall, Mathews said when McCain arrived in New Hampshire airport only 1 reporter was there with one photographer. I'm telling ya those polls are WRONG. They only pretend to make it look like McCain has a chance.

15. Does MCcain

Think the Viet Nam war was justified? Never heard him comment on that. Just wondering.

[JonLP24]

16. I think he fails to acknowledge

Winning the '08 campaign puts him in position to control the war. I think he cares about the war enough to make him to run, In my opinion he wants to do something about the war which is why he wants to win the '08 campaign.

17. If the escalation has been so successful, why isn't two more years

enough time to "win" the war?
