McCain Clearly Has No Idea What He is Talking About–Ever

Sorted under 2008 election, Iraq war, politics on April 10, 2008

If you’ve been caught up in the Hillary/Obama race for the democratic nomination, you may have missed some of McCain’s recent word vomit. Here are my top three picks of classic McCain moments, but for the full top 10 go visit AlterNet.

Funny, this reminds me way too much of Bush’s “Bushisms”. No wonder Bush supports this fool!

“No American argues against our military presence in Korea or Japan or Germany or Kuwait or other places, or Turkey, because America is not receiving casualties.”

Responding to a student who criticized his remark about our staying in Iraq for 100 years

I love the subtle “or other places” he decided to throw into the mix there; as if he simply could not remember just how many other countries America is or has occupied. Of course people are going to start to speak up about our military presence being where it simply was not warranted and based off of pure lies. Republicans seem to be sad about the majority of people not giving in to their brainwashing tactics anymore.

“[I am] very proud to have Pastor John Hagee’s support.”

This is beyond hilarious to me. First of all, oh no we have another Pastor case on our hands! But while millions of people were busy pointing fingers at Obama and declaring him a racist, most don’t know about Pastor John Hagee, who in his latest book, Jerusalem Countdown, he calls Hitler a Catholic who murdered Jews while the Catholic Church did nothing. ‘The sell-out of Catholicism to Hitler began not with the people but with the Vatican itself.’ Real nice.

“It [is] “common knowledge and has been reported in the media that al-Qaeda is going back into Iran and receiving training and are coming back into Iraq from Iran, that’s well known. And it’s unfortunate.”

A few moments later, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, admiringly gazing at McCain until that moment, stepped up and whispered something in the presidential candidate’s ear. McCain then blurted out: “I’m sorry, the Iranians are training extremists, not al-Qaeda.”

Alzheimer’s, anyone? For being at war for five years you would think a president hopeful would oh I don’t know, know what he’s talking about? Maybe I’m just weird and practical like that.

  • Obama all the way, MCcain can barely remember his own name!
  • I would hate to think that McCain will be the next US president. Wake up everyone! Do we really want another George W. Bush?
  • Dee
    The question off-topic is what were they doing there in the first place?
  • McCain is so old school, a scary blast from the past. Most likely our next president if people don't wake up and stop it.
  • I guess, people are smart enough to vote for the right person that is capable to be their country's leader.
  • Hes right though. I know you are going to disagree. Noone complains about our bases elsewhere. Its a fact that we will be there for 100 years one way or another. We will continue to have a presence there for a long long time just because we have a base. Why would we just leave? There is no reason.

    While I agree we should not be their police force, I dont know who could really justify just pulling out no questions asked right now. The chaos and brutality that would occur would be almost as bad as the regime we just removed.

    While I do think that American Lives > Anyone elses, I don't think that we should just let them burn themselves down. At least right now they don't come to us to fight. Believe it or not, they want to fight.

    I wanted Ron Paul to win. He didn't get the nod. However, I am so anti Universal Healthcare that I can not in good conscious vote for Hilary or Obama.

    However, that comment about the pastor, assuming the info above is true, is quite disturbing. He may have thought he was a Catholic, but he sure didn't act the part.
  • Margo - Have you been to Obama's website?

    Voila! Asked and answered.
  • McCain is a scary, scary man. If by some horrible accident he were to win I fear what he would turn this country into.
  • I'm not expressing a political opinion here, because I'm sure it will come down to Obama vs. McCain,and I have not decided yet who has my vote.
    But I do want to say, that, though some of his comments are admittedly ridiculous, at least McCain is saying something!
    I listen to Obama-great smile-great presence-great crowd appeal-but all he ever says is "I am for change." I'd like just a little more clarification, please, without the hype.
