The NEOCONSERVATIVE AGENDA is a fundamental departure of the values that our country is based upon. Proponents, defenders and enablers of this warped philosophy drape themselves in the American flag while casting aspersions on those who dare critique their Faux Patriotism and the belligerent destruction of the cohesion of the World community. One need only look at the history of the 3rd Reich for evidence of similar mindset. At least some Republicans see the inherent wisdom of turning away from a group of extremists who have hijacked their party.

By the way, the McCain campaign can't even follow Cliff Notes very well.

When it plagiarized Wikipedia to sound authoritative about Georgia, it summarized a couple paragraphs (others it took word for word) and introduced a couple historical mistakes.

McCain said Georgia was an ancient country. It isn't.

McCain said Georgia was one of the first countries to adopt Christianity as an official religion. It wasn't.

What Wikipedia clearly says, though seemingly beyond the comprehension abilities of the McCain campaign, is that Georgia was formed from the lands of several ancient tribal nations, one of which - Iberia - was among the first to adopt Christianity as an official religion.

John McCain - the best foreign policy experience that can be read from Wikipedia... well, almost.

Ah yes Steve, the DEMONcrats do control Congress now, with its almighty approval rating. And good ol' Pelosi refusing to go along with what 70% of the country wants to do really boosts their chances. And yes, republicans are leaving McCain, along with the 28% of DEMONcrats who left for McCain after Hillary dropped.

Wake up and crawl out of your holes and read news from more than 1 media source!!!!

A very few weak 'Republicans' are jumping ship - however, how 'Republican' were they ever. Really when push comes to shove turning themselves into Demobamabots just makes it 'legal' as they say.

Leach was a sell out and back stabber to the GOP.

After redistricting he moved to Iowa City with its left leaning Univ of Iowa to get reelected.

But as Chafee found out, the Dems are happy to have Republican Benedict Arnolds but will throw them to the wolves if they have a chance to put in their own.

Leach may also resent the fact that after he lost he wasn't offered a position in the Administration.

Jo,

McCain's endorsement by Lieberman is one of the best things that can happen to Obama. Whiney Joe Lieberman and Lindsay Graham have their heads so far up McCain that the old man doesn't need to have a colonoscopy.

Bush/Cheney/McCain - NO MORE YEARS!!!!

I do not see anything in Obama's speaches or his voting record leading me to believe his platform is rooted in "old American Values". Frankly he scares me, not saying McCain would be my ultimate choice but is better than the alternative. Time will tell, just wish we could find someone who does have those "old American Values" we have strayed far from them, wonder sometimes how many really understand what those values are or what they mean.

Examining Obama's reaction and comments to the Russian incursion and comparing them to McCain's comments and actions, it is clearly obvious that Senator Obama is totally unprepared for serious and dangerous world events like the situation in Georgia. And on national TV just this morning, when confronted with Obama's totally inadequate response, one of Obama's main supporters chided the commentator and stated that foreign policy should not be used as a political point. What exactly has Mr Obama been doing all this time regarding Iraq and Afghanistan if not using foreign policy as a political point? Obama simply can't have it both ways. Obama is simply un prepared to lead the free world in foreign policy. Obama is inexperiencd, clear and simple! Obama has clearly demonstrated that he is totally unprepared for the complex world of foreign policy! Russia's Putin to Obama - "NO YOU CAN'T!"
Visit this website and take a careful look and see more clear proof, in Obama's own words, that Obama is not ready for Prime Time dangerous Foreign Policy. http://www.harvybing.com The world is simply too dangerous to vote according to what's chic at the momemet. It may be considered to be "In Vogue" and "Fashionable" to be an Obama supporter, but unfortunately the dangerous people in this world aren't swayed by fashion statements.
Marie Antionette was unprepared to address the severe economic situation facing her countrymen. When confronted by mass starvation she said, "Let Them Eat Cake". In like fashion Obama, when confronted by his countrymen, who are suffering under high gas prices and who now can't afford to feed and house and educate their children indicated, "Let Them Inflate Their Tires" as a solution to High Gas Prices and the US dependency upon foreign oil. Obama is out of touch pure and simple. He is an elitist who has no common man experience.
Unfortunately the dangerous situation of world politics won't allow the American People to enjoy "On The Job Training" for our next president. On The Job Training Doesn't work for Presidential employees. It simply doesn't work in a dangerous world like we face today.

John McCain gets his foreign policy experience from WIKIPEDIA ? I didn't know that.

Quick -who was the only Republican Congressperson to vote against Bush tax cuts? Mr. global citizen Leach.

Dumb misleading headline. Why not just say "GOPer endorses Obama"???

"John McCain gets his foreign policy experience from WIKIPEDIA ? I didn't know that"

Obama supporters claimed McCain doesn't know how to access the internet. Another flip -flop by the Obamabots?

obaama does not even know how many states are in the union or how to compare the cost of oil with the cost of air - he is fundamentally marxist and quite the idiot - any voting or even endorsing him quite likely is as well

"It's difficult to walk away from your nominee but you have to put your country first," said Hauser.

This does not put the country first unless selling it out is what is 'first'.

Ron - "John McCain gets his foreign policy experience from WIKIPEDIA? I didn't know that."

Ron, McCain was caught plagiarizing from Wikipedia in his statement about Georgia yesterday.

Geevill - not a flip flop; just a new development ;)

McCain keeps bragging that he knows how to win wars. He only fought in one, and by his own words he,"was tied up". So how does he know how to fight wars.

Obama shows his usual intelligence and inexperience in his talk about Georgia and Russia. " I think we need to get the UN involved". Wow what a brilliant mind. Then as usual after his advisors tell him what he should of said, then he changes his tune again. Can this idiot ever think for himself? What a scarry thought, this moron running our country. Everybody knows the Democratic party has been hi-jacked by the far left and Obama is as far left as you can get, even though he is trying to lie to Americans that he isn't. Just look at his pathetic record in the Senate. He did nothing but try to pass an inhumane law to kill alive new born babies. Obama , crawl pack under the slimey rock you came from and take Nancy Pelosi with you. Read the new book " The Obama Nation" to find out all the real truths about him and you will cringe.

Gerald: "Examining Obama's reaction and comments to the Russian incursion and comparing them to McCain's comments and actions, it is clearly obvious that Senator Obama is totally unprepared for serious and dangerous world events like the situation in Georgia."

I thought Obama's comments were pretty good; measured and thoughtful, and consistent with what a candidate ought to say about a dynamic crisis changing by the hour (remembering we only have one president at a time).

But I can see where others were hoping for the fire and brimstone hallow threats against Russia, such as issued by cold-warrior wannabe John McCain... with a little help from Wikipedia.

I am very disappointed in Jim Leach. He has become was he warned about in his youth when he was in his third term as an Iowa Congressman: Washington insiders do not listen to the people and are the problem. This is what Jim Leach has become after 30 years of politics. He has lost his base and his foundation of what made him so beloved and successful as a Congressman representing Iowa. His endorsement of Obama shows that he is more into pleasing his new audience at Harvard and the Ivy League liberal elites, than he is remembering the working people of Iowa.
