Not even you can believe it is OK for McCain to call for military intervention from a campaign event.

He also sent members of his pretend cabinet over to address the situation (Lieberman and Graham).

He criticized the presidents response in a foreign military crisis.  Sometimes I feel sorry for you that you have to defend obviously indefensible crap like this but then I realize you choose to do it.

McCain has now:

Given a speech about the end of his first term

Referred to himself as President McCain (a lot)

Sent representatives into a shooting war as if they were his cabinet members

Publicly announced American policy in reaction to a major political crisis

Forgot he was still a candidate and called himself the president ("Another president, Ronald Reagan, stood up to the Russians...")

Considering the ineptness of his campaigning and his endless blunders (he called the Georgian crisis the most significant foreign policy event since the end of the Cold War*) I think he's lost it and thinks in 2012 and he is running for reelection.  Or maybe he thinks its 2004 and he won in 2000 but either way, its not good.

 

 

*Since the end of the cold war: 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Kashmir, South Korean Nuclear crisis, Chechnya, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Somalia, Dar fur, Rwanda

You are letting douche bag incompetent foreign leader decide your vote?

Jesus, as an American who loves America I am going to choose the American politician most qualified the be the American president based on good old fashioned American information.

If you want to let Georgia or France or whatever other foreigner Bush and McCain suck off determine our election that is your business.

God Bless America!

In addition to McCain's playacting like he's already been elected President, McCain's chief foreign policy adviser's (Randy Scheunemann) firm was paid over $800,000 by the Georgian government to lobby for them. They lobbied McCain himself and he co-sponsored bills and resolutions regarding Georgia.

This is what's commonly known as a "conflict of interest."

McCain is already acting like he is the Republican president.

If I would have said that, the massive bribes to act against our national security would have been implied.

My bad!

5 million people got killed there, highest number since World War II
 
but in Kenny's mind it probably goes something like this: "who cares, that was a black on black genocide"

McCain with that remark truely showed what a slime ball he really is, he showed it again at that evangelical forum, was sickening to watch
