John McCain declares he believes Iraq war can be won by 2013, rejects suggestion of timetable (Star Tribune)

Fri, 16 May 2008 01:21:13 GMT

The Republican presidential contender, in a mystical speech that also envisioned Osama bin Laden dead or captured, and Americans with the choice of paying a simple flat tax or following their standard 1040 form, said only a small number of troops would remain in Iraq by the end of a prospective first term because al-Qaida will have been defeated and Iraq's government will be functioning on its own....

Lindsey Graham Channels John McCain (The Corner)

Fri, 16 May 2008 02:04:15 GMT

Ramesh, you are forcing me to admit that I was being snarky about Hillyer's piece. I am sure that there are worse Republican senators. There always are. Graham has been good on the war, and that counts for a lot. But the whole point of my comment, and perhaps the original piece, was that on the criteria that Hillyer cited, Graham's record bears a stunning resemblance to John McCain's....

Vicksburg and a teleconference call with John McCain (Marathon Pundit)

Fri, 16 May 2008 01:44:00 GMT

Treo blogging from Vicksburg, Mississippi. Today I did the least amount of driving since I left Morton Grove on Monday. The second half of of my drive on the Natchez Trace took a lot of me--heavy rain on an unfamilar, but beautiful road can be exhausting. I arrived at today's destination, Vicksburg, shortly before the bloggers' teleconference with John McCain commenced. I sat down on...

John McCain, victory and deja vu [Daily Kos] (The Liberal Blog Network)

rss@dailykos.com (BarbinMD) — Fri, 16 May 2008 01:03:16 GMT

Today John McCain gave his own little "I Have A Dream" speech, predicting that a McCain presidency would mean most of the troops would be home from Iraq by January, 2013. What's this? A terrorist-appeasing timetable from the man who wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years? Not at all, says McCain: It's not a timetable; it's victory. It's victory, which I have always predicted....

Conservatives Say No To McCain's Cap and Trade Tax and John McCain (Pronk Palisades)

Fri, 16 May 2008 00:02:11 GMT

Senator McCain has a real talent for alienating the conservative movement base. The Senator cannot even figure out that climate change is a hoax fostered by the left to increase taxes. John McCain actually buys into this nonsense! Please Senator McCain do your homework and think for yourself for a change. Stop pandering! The United States needs more...

Sorry, John McCain, You're Not Our Strong Daddy (Firedoglake)

Thu, 15 May 2008 23:41:24 GMT

Around the blogs today, there's a good deal of commentary, consternation, and near-confusion over the hallucinatory vision laid out today (and already memorialized in an online ad) by Mr. Double-Talk Express, John McCain, today: "By January 2013, America has welcomed home most of the servicemen and women who have sacrificed terribly so that America might be secure in her freedom.

Why Is John McCain Afraid to Speak with World Leaders? (MyDD)

Thu, 15 May 2008 23:33:13 GMT

Today John McCain appeared more than willing to hug George W. Bush again, concurring with the President's ridiculous position that it is a sign of weakness rather than one of strength for America to be willing to speak with other nations of the world, both those that are friendly and those that are not. The McCain campaign went even farther, with the candidate himself becoming...

John McCain Knows There's a War On, But Does He Know Which One? (Daily Intelligencer - New York Magazine)

Thu, 15 May 2008 21:33:49 GMT

Photo: Getty Images This weekend the Times Magazine is running a thorough examination of the shaping of John McCain's foreign-policy outlook as it was formed over the years. McCain likes to refer to himself as a “realistic idealist” when it comes to intervention overseas, an oxymoronic phrase which tells us pretty much nothing. But Matt Bai tells us a lot, like how McCain...

John McCain, Luckiest Candidate Ever! (Anti-Strib)

Thu, 15 May 2008 20:37:00 GMT

McCain surely has some good karma coming to him after the torture administered by the Vietnamese Communists, but it's starting to get ridiculous. In a monumental victory for the gay rights movement, the California Supreme Court overturned a voter-approved ban on gay marriage Thursday in a ruling that would allow same-sex couples in the nation's biggest state to tie the knot. Just when the liberals...
