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.

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.

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.

Well, the good news is that Huckabee won't be V.P.

That is good news. Not such a bad day after all. Both Hussein and Huckawanna shove foot in mouths.

I hope Huckabee's idiotic remarks will put him off the V.P. list permanently.

Even though it was a stupid attempt at trying to ad-lib, all this will do is have the scrutiny on the NRA now.

Huckabee was trying to acknowledge a noise from backstage and tried to pass it off with a joke, only the joke was very poor and he stumbled on it badly.

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.

re: #68 alegrias
I do, I want him to be seen as a vigorous campaigner, a strong warhorse who will answer any challenger who brings up age issues. The Dems and Obama are already framing criticisms in those terms.
I fully support McCain, any Democrat is unthinkable.
