McCain Bad Mouths Rumsfeld In SC.

   If this isn't the pot calling the kettle black,almost.

   Senator John McCain, still mouthing off down in South Carolina, said that former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld would be remembered as one of the worst Defense Secretary's ever because of the mis-management of the war in Iraq. McCain said that Rumsfeld never put enough troops on the ground in order to succeed in Iraq.

    This is another one of McCain's flip-flops as it was just in November when McCain said of Rumsfeld,"While Secretary Rumsfeld and I have had our differences, he deserves Americans' respect and gratitude for his many years of public service," as opposed to this remark today, "I think that Donald Rumsfeld will go down in history as one of the worst secretaries of defense in history.We are paying a very heavy price for the mismanagement — that's the kindest word I can give you — of Donald Rumsfeld, of this war."

       McCain spoke to a crowd at a Hilton Head Island retirement community so that would explain his memory loss. There were 800 McCain supporters at Hilton Head and most were no doubt lifelong GOP supporters who would never switch parties for any reason.

  Rumsfeld did many stupid things during his run but one must remember that he was doing what President Cheney, oops, Bush told him to do.

   He had no say in the troop level deployment and McCain would know this to be true.

Clinton Visits South Carolina

   Democratic presidential wannabe Hillary Clinton is down in South Carolina campaigning for support on this fine Monday.

   Right off the bat she has had to deny that her campaign paid money for an endorsement from a SC black politician who just happens to carry some weight in the state.

   I have to wonder about this deal myself, especially after Senator Jackson's consulting firm snagged a $10,000 per month deal with Hillary's group not to long after Mrs. Clinton got the endorsement. Jackson said that he could have made more money from other candidates.

                

 

    Clinton did chat with the AP today.

    Clinton, who spoke to the AP during her first trip to this early voting state since announcing her White House bid, also said South Carolina should remove the Confederate flag from its Statehouse grounds, in part because the nation should unite under one banner while at war.

"I think about how many South Carolinians have served in our military and who are serving today under our flag and I believe that we should have one flag that we all pay honor to, as I know that most people in South Carolina do every single day," the New York senator said.

"I personally would like to see it removed from the Statehouse grounds."

   Maybe Mrs. Clinton should just worry about her presidential bid and not about what kind of flag is being flown in a particular state of the union!
