I would appreciate this more if the surge was in AFGHANISTAN.

McCain voted for a war based on lies, which it would not surprise me at all if they all knew it was based on lies. We would not need a surge and we would not have lost the life's of 4,000 soldiers if they would have just done their jobs in Washington. LIES LIES AND MORE LIES. I AM SO sick of them.

"The constitution is just a piece of paper." G W Bush, and now it sounds like McCain's line of thought.

So McCain wants to invade Detroit and put the mayor on trial in the hands of white suburbanites.

Next, we pay off some of the gang members so that they won't bother the cops until the military leaves.

Finally, we threaten Canada to stop supporting the gangs.

McCain and Obama tied at 44% according to Gallup today. Way to go, President McCain!

This sounds an awful lot like "Lassie and Godzilla go shopping." Fairly soon we won't be able to go to the store without showing our movement papers.

Jane Hussein Obama: Uhmmmmm.. I can swear I read this same statement about BUSH 8 years ago. Ya, way to go President McCain!!!

I hate to tell you this Jane, but those polls do not mean anything.

It's a good idea

only Biden just put the bill that does this into congress...

oy ...why is theire a delay on Obama picking Biden.

Hey Becky,

Your boy Willie Clinton said the exact same stuff about Saddam that W did, yet you conveniently forget that, eh? You're a yellow dog liberal Democrat, who is not worth the time of day. Try being honest for once in your pathetic life.

Ed

dl,

Biden? Because even the black used car salesman, Barack H. Obama knows that Biden is a bag of hot air.

does mcCain's idea include giving the drug dealers and hoods money,guns and housing to fight each other...and promising them government positions when the police leave?

you know like the tactic we just used in Iraq...

the same one we used in the early 80's in Afghanistan with Reagan's "freedom fighters" you know ...when we gave the insurging muslim extremists to figth against someone else...and then we leave and they take what we gave them and they become ...

the taliban, al qaeda and Osama Bin Laden.

don't be fooled that's exactly what we just did in Iraq.

I wonder if that's what he wants to do in the crime ridden areas of the US

Ed Stanowicz

do you watch any news besides the glamouous stuff...have you seen the praise both sides of congress have heaped on Biden over the past month because he is the ONLY one getting anything done in congress ...

a historically unmatched amount of legislation through congress...

but you're right...oy ...he's just a bag of hot air...

duh... turn on your tv and actually investigate what is going on rather than regurgitating stupid campaign points.

Biden just got passed some of the most incredible bi-partisan plans we have seen in a long time...from Pakistan issues...to crime issues...to Africa...and the list goes on...

God I hate this campaign and some really stupid comment sthat have no backing...oy.

Ed freakin the white house that Biden has screamed about for 8 years...even "gaffing" and calling the guy a liar and stupid at times just praised the guy for getting things done...

along with the 99% of the rest of congress.

but you would rather throw out stupid ill informed comments ...

McCain just pitched an idea that has already been pitched by the democrats... that Biden again authored.

bag o hot air is a peson who says something that isn't true or has no base in fact...so I think you need to look in the mirror.

and then go learn something

police state mccain woot!!!

thanks for burning the constitution

how can anyone vote for this moron

Sure, that's what we need to get us out of this economic slump...

The sight of armored humvees and APCs rolling down our city streets and soldiers with guns, turning high-crime neighborhoods into free fire zones.

Thankfully, Senator McCain will be returning to the Senate in 2009, where he'll be expected to actually show up for his day job in a very-much minority status.

Obama 2008

That's right John. Send them overseas to commit atrocites for multiple tours then bring them back home, broken, shellshocked, and shattered beyond belief and put them to work patrolling our streets with automatic weapons working for Blackwater USA. This is the death of America.

I don't understand. Is McCain saying the military should come into any neighborhood that the president wants?

I'm truly concerned about our Constitution if McCain is elected.

Who is John McCain?

We entered the campaign assuming we all knew. Now, I'm not so sure we all do.

First he called Social Security a disgrace. Then he signaled a willingness to raise taxes to save it. Then he backtracked on that.

This is bigger than just taxes. Where is John McCain on Social Security? Where is he on any issue? We know he is for "winning" wars, and presumably for moms and apple pie, but is any of his positions actually defined?

We know he's against negative campaigning, until he realized he couldn't win without it.

Is McCain suggesting we declare martial law in cities?

Cities currently run their own law enforcement. This 'domestic surge' proposal of his would presumably be federal troops and/or law enforcement.

Can McCain explain this a little better?

Dan - my question exactly. Sounds like martial law to me.

And McCain seems like just the guy to declare it.

Posse Comitatus Act prohibits what McCain is saying. The military is not allowed to enforce civilian laws. This is the Law that protects the US from becoming a military Regime. As a former military officer mcLame should know this. I guess he forgot, give McLame his Alzheimer pill and he should remember it tomorrow! A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
