145 days until we unseat Bush and keep McCain out of the White House.
Just thought I'd remind everyone arguing here that there's only 145 days left before we go vote.
If you want to spend 10 hours a day here arguing about Obama's qualifications for the job in the White House, go ahead.
I'm not going to argue with you.
I'm done with that.

But, something else occurred to me.
If you want to spend any of that time defending McCain here, maybe this isn't the forum for you.

I noticed that a few people are already complaining about McCain being called names.
Names like "old man" and "grandpa".
Simply because they have an old man in their family that happens to be a grandpa.

Well, what about "warmonger"?
Do you have a problem with that, too?

Because that's what McCain is, he's a warmonger.

Not only has McCain defended Bush's war in Iraq for the last 5 years, he was one of the loudest promoters of the war before it began!

The Iraq War has been going on now for over 5 years, longer than World War II.
My father fought in World War II.
He died a long time ago, before he had a chance to become a grandpa.

Like so many of the men fighting and dying in Iraq today, he never knew what it was like to be a grandpa.

Excuse me if I hurt your feelings, but McCain doesn't think we should pull out of Iraq any time soon.
Not even after he acknowledged this week during his appearence on the Today Show that he thought the latest surge was working.

Of course, it's not.
Keith Olbermann pointed that out correctly last night on his program.

Considering the fact that we are pouring between $10 Billion and $12 Billion dollars a month into the sands of Iraq, like so much water, what is left for us to achieve there?

Seems to me, that we have already screwed things up enough as it is.
The Iraqi people don't want us there anymore, that's for sure.
Since Iraq has their own fake puppet government now, just like us, then why can't McCain understand that we need to pull out of Iraq as soon as possible and let their puppets run their own country.

Almost 4100 men and women have already been killed in the Iraq War.
Isn't that enough?
Well, not for McCain, the warmonger, evidently.

There's not a lot of time left to make sure McCain doesn't get into the White House this fall to continue what most experts have called "the greatest foreign policy mistake in the history of the United States" - the invasion of Iraq.

The Iraq War has made us much less safer against the terrorists rather than making us safer.
It has increased the danger Israel faces today from acts of terrorism.

McCain's warmongering rants are heard around the world.
His speeches promising more chaos, more instability, and more war are what is behind the high price we are paying for a barrel of oil these days.
Oil brokers believe that 4 more years of fighting the Iraq War and instability in the Middle East will drive up the price of oil even higher, so they are betting that the future price of oil will be over $250 a barrel by next summer.
They are driven by fear and greed.

Just like John McCain.

And that's really what McCain wants to sell to the American public, more fear and more wars.
He thinks that we have to continue the fight in Iraq because he is afraid that him and his friends in the oil industry won't make as much money next year if the war in Iraq winds down.

Just look at his record in the Senate.
Back in 2000, McCain only voted with Bush 77% of the time.
But, McCain has voted to support Bush 100% since 2004.
McCain wants to be the next president, so he decided to throw any credibility he ever had out the window and decided to become "a Bush man."

If you look at McCain's record, he is a Bush man - he doesn't support the veterans with better benefits, yet he votes to continue the war ad infinitum at the same time.
McCain is against a timeline in the Iraq War, just like Bush.
McCain is against withdrawing our troops from Iraq, just like Bush.

McCain is simply a 3rd term for the Bush regime.
That's all he is, he's just more of the same.

And I think America has had enough of Bush.
I know I have.
Eight long years of this crap is enough for me and my family.
