John McCain Doesn't Know When To Quit

   While the old war horse John McCain trudges on, there are a few who think that maybe the old mare should be lead out to pasture as he has gotten to old and worn out.

"I was a strong backer of McCain last time," said George Carlisle, a retired corporate executive from Portsmouth. "The guy was magical. I don't think he's the man he was seven years ago. He's done. Stick a fork in him, he's done."

"Compared to a year ago, he's not doing so well," said Dick Bennett, a New Hampshire-based pollster. "He's lost support. It isn't like it was eight years ago. He's holding his own, but it isn't anything like it was."

"He's trying too hard to appeal to all parts of the Republican Party. Appealing to all parts of the party is a death knell," Carlisle said. "He looks old and tired. He is old and tired."

"I like McCain," said Tracey Tucker of Portsmouth, a project manager for a nonprofit organization. "But he doesn't have that spark anymore. I don't think he's a maverick anymore."

"It's not a safe place to be. You scratch the surface of the conservative base, and find they're pretty disgusted with Bush too. It isn't working for him. It could be, but at the moment, it isn't."

   Throw the has-been some hay and then let him go out to graze. John McCain is not the man he used to be and he will never be again. He hasn't learned that the public ( except the 28% who view Fox News )  has actually seen the light and that his flip-flops are wore out.

   All disrespect fully intended

Senator Harry Reid Smacks Down The Bush Lie

"The president is vetoing the bill to provide money for soldiers -- readiness, health care, armaments, etc and a timeline to get out of Iraq."

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Bush's troop withdrawal timeline from Iraq and the veto threat of this bill.

"Democrats will send President Bush a bill that gives our troops the resources they need and a strategy in Iraq worthy of their sacrifices. If the President vetoes this bill he will have delayed funding for troops and kept in place his strategy for failure."     Source

   Reid said this after Bush once again tried to lay the blame at the feet of the Democrats, saying that the Dems are playing games and delaying the funds request for the troops.

 Reid: "[Bush] should become in tune with the fact that he is President of the United States, not King of the United States...He has another branch of government, namely the legislative branch of government that he has to deal with."

He may as well have hitched up his Goliath-sized jock strap and said, "Welcome to 'Co-Equal,' bitch. That's what the people want."   rudepundit

   So we have Bush talking about the Democrats adding pork to the war funding bill. So what! It is nothing compared to what the Republican led Senate has done since 2001, according to the Heritage Foundation. Furthermore, the Democrats have to add these items to this bill because it is the only way to get the Bush Crime Family's attention. This was a great move on the part of the Dems.

   This shows that not only will Bush not support our troops, but he will not support the people in this country that need the help.

                       IMPEACH! INDICT! IMPRISON!
