McCain Rips Obama: 'Reckless'

Fri, May 16, 2008 at 1:48:43 pm PDT

John McCain is now on Fox News, speaking to NRA, and is tearing Barack Obama a new foreign policy clue.

I have some news for Senator Obama: talking, not even with soaring rhetoric, (unconditional)... in unconditional meetings with a man who calls Israel a “stinking corpse,” and arms terrorists who kill Americans, will not convince Iran to give up its nuclear programs.

It is reckless, it is reckless to suggest that unconditional meetings will advance our interests.

You know, it would be a wonderful thing if we lived in a world where we don’t have enemies. But that’s not the world we live in. And until Senator Obama understands that reality, the American people have every reason to doubt whether he has the strength, judgment, and determination to keep us safe.

One reason trotskyites in the Dem party respect John McCain must be because they know he knows exactly what a communist gulag bamboo cage looks like from the inside.

McCain knows how totalitarians work.

McCain knows that weakness in foreign policy kills Americans, like his fellow POWs who died at the hand of thugs Jane Fonda & John Kerry cozied up to talk to, WITHOUT PRECONDITIONS.

Bush baited the trap, Obama jumped on it, and gave McCain the opportunity to tear him a new one.

That was severely damaging to Obama, no matter how he spins it.

He walked right into it because that's what egomaniacs do.

"The" "when" "for" and all conjugations of "to be" are also racist code words and, when used by the right, indicate an unwarranted false attack on The Obama.

Its not going to take much by McCain to make Obama look foolish. I think that is why the MSM and all of the left are circling so many wagons and protecting him so much. All it will take is one debate on foreign policy.

However, we shouldn't underestimate the power of the MSM and Obamas ability to learn and adapt to the current issue and the power of charisma. He can give a great speech and that can be dangerous.

On the whole "rip a new one" theme ...

I think you ass holes who are consider yourselves the "true Republicans" who are still thinking about "sitting this one out" because "McCain is too liberal" ought to just suck it up.

This is a one issue campaign in a one issue era.

Do you fight the friggun jihad or not?

Right now you have a bunch of fine young men and women slogging it out with a ruthless enemy with one hand tied behind their backs and they are winning.

And here you are back home thinking you don't like McCain's defects when you didn't utter a peep when Dick Armey et al were restructuring "conservatism" into the "tax and spend K street project".

You've had your time to lick your wounds after the primaries - your guys lost. Time to close ranks and fight a war.

Yes - McCain has warts. So did Bush. But the other side has a plague that intends on destroying western civilization. I won't be sitting out any elections until our soldiers t get to sit out the jihad.

re: #73 formercorpsman

In retrospect, it certainly looks that way.

good.

McCain has now painted Obama into a horribly complicated situation, the dark corner no party politician ever wants to be in.

Obama has to conserve the broad coalition of his own corner by guaranteeing withdrawal from Iraq and cuddling up with terrorists and their sponsor states as a new tack of diplomacy. He must use the argument that this will win back the international support that we need.

Yet to do so is to lose the election. He cannot win by the left alone, because the more moderate left is as worried as many of us about the danger lurking from radical Islam. He has to swing his international policy toward the right to retain a centrist block to take him over the top in November. He's now stretched too thin, and I don't know where he can go without shedding millions of voters either way. And since he's already severely alienated the Jewish voters and many middle class "whites", he's deep in quicksand, and sinking fast.

It seems logical to conclude that McCain's VP pick will be consistent with his leftward rhetoric since his nomination. Of course, logic goes right out the window with this guy.

The trouble with Romney is, as I've stated before, Mormons are hated more by the general public than by the Republicans by themselves. I'm afraid Romney has no hope to be in line for the presidency now or ever. Personally, I like him better than McCain, but that's the breaks...

Actually, it was kinda funny--if spoken at a bad time. I think making fun of them is always a good thing. I'm tired of seeing photoshopped pix of the President--making him look like a chimpanzee. Apparently some bar is selling tee-shirts with Curious George pictures on it--and "In 2008"--but not referring to George Bush. No No No. "Obama in 2008." I'm not sure whether they were making a reference to George Bush looking like a monkey. Hmm.
I'll see if I can find the link--although I think I saw it on Drudge a couple of weeks ago.

I've always thought making fun of Osama and Dinnajacket would be far more effective than holding them up as the bogeymen (they really are, I know. I know). I would love to see the heads of either Osama or Abner Dinnajacket explode. I don't hold out any hope for Osama's--I'm betting big $$$ he's dead.
I have a video of the Donald Duck cartoon where Donald is Hitler--and it's funny--and of course, deadly serious, too.

Obama is a not-ready-for-prime-time-player whose ego has made promises his campaign can't keep. You don't voluntarily put yourself in issue as an appeaser. Bad advice, bad strategy.

The most happy person at the moment is Hillary who understand the dopey democrats will have buyer's remorse after this is all over. In the end she would be a far more dangerous candidate than Obambi.

Why don't you post Obama's voting record instead. He has an outrageous number of NOVOTEs (as in he refused to vote either yes or no) in some very telling areas. Over 100. By comparison, Bernie Sanders of VT has refused to vote or missed a vote just 5 times in all his time in the Senate.

Somedays, there's nothing you can do. Did you see the article about Obama meeting with the head of the Islamic Center of America?

Local Muslim leader met privately with Obama

Imam Hassan Qazwini, head of the Islamic Center of America, said in an email that he met with Obama at Macomb Community College. A mosque spokesman, Eide Alawan, confirmed that the meeting took place. During the meeting, the two discussed the Presidential election, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the Iraq war, according to Qazwini.

At the end of the meeting, Qazwini said he gave Obama a copy of new book, “American Crescent,” and invited Obama to visit his center.

Of course, too many of those liberal judges are republican picks... not Bush's, thank God.

All public figures say stupid things, especially when they are trying to be funny.
Huckabee should admit he was wrong and apologize profusely as soon as possible. We'll see.
If Jon Kary had done that with the stuck-in-Iraq joke, it wouldn't have been such a big deal.
In any case, I don't think he's the man McCain should pick for VP anyway. So for me there's a silver lining to this little cloud.

The kiddo and I were curious about that a few weeks back so we went at looked up the specifics.

As I recall, Lieberman is NOT a Democrat these days. Did the Dems not throw him under the bus the last election, resulting in him running as an Independent and retaining his seat anyway?

He has caucused with the Democrats in the Senate. If he had not done so, the Senate would have remained in Republican hands, BTW. In any case, he is not a Republican, so the RNC won't want him.

The threat of Islam trumps domestic issues. Heck, McCain is not that far from blue dog (D)'s views, and Lieberman almost meets him there in that hazy middle.

There are very few (D)'s that I respect and Lieberman is one of them. He may be liberal in many respects, but he is honest. With the exception of his move to the extreme left with the Gore ticket, which I think was unsavory to him but was done for political expediency.

As people, all politics aside, I believe that is why both of them are so liked and respected.

I think Romney will steer clear - especially the way McCain treated him. If McCain was 1/10th as tough with Obama, he'd be in the fetal position sucking his thumb. But everything you say is spot on...

Romney has indicated publically that he would take the position if offered, and I see no reason to doubt his sincerity in that regard:


“I think any Republican leader in this country would be honored to be asked to serve as the vice presidential nominee, myself included," Romney told FOX's Sean Hannity . . .

But I doubt he will get the chance.

Supposedly McCain has a personal dislike of Romney. . .but who knows. McCain is still a politician, and he still wants the office.

All I can say is that each election keeps getting much more serious in their overall implications. Do I want to speak softly with Iran without carrying a big boomstick like Barry does?

I am really beginning to believe that Barrack Obama has no clue as to the geography of the United States. Here is what he said today:

"What it says is that I'm not very well known in that part of the country," Obama said. "Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it's not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle."

Now I've driven across the border of Kentucky/Illinois many times. They are neighboring states. Yet Barrack seems to think Arkansas is closer?
