thinkprogress.org — Yesterday, conservative radio host Michael Smerconish sat in for Bill O’Reilly to host the Radio Factor. He opened the show by discussing yesterday’s front-page New York Times story detailing “how the White House shifted its sights, beginning in 2002, from counterterrorism efforts in Afghanistan and Pakistan to preparations for the war in Iraq.”

Excuse me - cross out"area of senility" and add"era of stability." That's what you will get from John McCain.

freudian slip?

Um, if you goto the voting record - McCain actually voted against the majority of things Bush has done.<a class="user" href="http://ontheissues.org/John_McCain.htm">http://ontheissues.org/John_McCain.htm</a>I don't know where everyone gets this "Bush-Clone" thing from - oh wait yes I do, you are all just trying to paint a negative image of him so that all of the uninformed - no nothing about politics - voters will swing your way. (A despicable tactic, and I shouldn't expect any less by now)

Ok, I want to see some negative stroies about Obama. All Digg users do is negative stories about McCain. Obama is a puppet just like McCain and there are negative stroris and flip floping on Obama's part as well. SURLY you want Digg users to be informed. Digg is just Fox news only liberal.I'm voting Libertarian btw.

Err... there's no need to start lying now. Obama was the FIRST person to say we should be talking to the Iranians. And the lobbyists and PACs? Are you purposely ignoring his speeches about them?Heck, even I like to hate on McCain too, but only because he's factually wrong. When you need to start lying, that's when you know McCain is a sinking ship.Buried.

McCain's reputation is that he is a "maverick" and I hear republicans say "He's too liberal." But...During the Bush administration, Congressional Quarterly gave McCain a 90% score for "party unity," making him an even more reliable GOP water-carrier than fellow Arizonan John Kyl, the #2 ranking Republican in the Senate. The Washington Post similarly gave him a score of 88.3%, tying him with South Carolina's Lindsey Graham ahead of 29 other Senate Republicans.According to CQ, Senator John McCain has voted with President Bush 100% of the time in 2008 and 95% of the time in 2007:100%? 95% 90%? 88.3%?Does this sounds like a "maverick" or just another republican?McCain also says that he will not try to distance himself from Bush - "I will not try to separate myself from him."So it sounds like he doesn't mind being joined at this hip with George W. Bush. Yet, when referred to as "The Third Bush Term" McCain bristles and attempts to invoke Jimmy Carter (from 30 years ago, much as he tried to invoke William Jennings Bryan from 110 years ago, the days of McCain's youth, no doubt).Sen. McCain, if you don't want to be "separated" from Bush, why do the comparisons bother you so much?And if the comparisons bother you so much, why do you vote with Bush and his administration 100% of the time in 2008 and 95% of the time in 2007?Sen. McCain - what you say and what you do are NOT the same thing.McCain - The Third Bush Term.

McCain does not equal Bush . . . I know it is hard to believe, IMO he is even worse. But if you choose to put him in office it will be with eyes wide open! Lest you think the solution is Obama - I did not say that either!!I am calling the nation to repentance. True repentance is turning from our wicked ways and asking God for His forgiveness. If you don't know what to repent of and turn from, ask God to show you His heart and to reveal Himself and His ways to you. He will do that for each person that asks. He will also do it for us as a nation - if we will but humble ourselves and pray and turn from our wicked ways. See II Chronicles 7:14 to ponder further and in context. Please turn to Him today and then see what He will do on our behalf.
