But Ted Galen Carpenter of the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank who opposed the Iraq war, said McCain's candidacy could be seriously damaged if Democrats mount a sustained attack aimed specifically at the Republican's long-standing ties to the neoconservatives known as neocons.

Democrats say the Republican candidate who staunchly supports the Iraq war and once jokingly sang "bomb Iran" to the tune of the 1960s Beach Boys hit "Barbara Ann," already has to reassure voters that "I hate war" in a current campaign ad.

"McCain's going to run hard on foreign policy and Obama's not trying to change the subject. Democrats are better prepared and more confident on foreign policy issues than at any time since the end of the Cold War," he said.

The McCain adviser denied any serious policy differences inside the campaign and says some of the candidate's more moderate remarks, including his embrace of multilateralism, were advocated also by neocons.

Nothing but "concern" threads seem to stay up.

5. I'm restraining myself lately from replying to them but alerting if necessary.

It's difficult, but maybe they'll get as sick of talking to each other as I am of hearing them screech. It takes a concerted effort by more than me, though, for the message to sink in.

Sorry I missed your post; I would have kicked it if I'd seen it.

3. McCain is probably more bloodthirsty than neoconservatives.

4. Yep, that's obvious

Nobody likes the idea of staying in Iraq but McCain.
