TPM, you are really pissing me off.

Maybe you guys need to stop regurgitating the same shit put out by other papers, and stick with what works: your OWN investigative journalism!

I love it.

Trolls get sanctimonious about Free Speech, and then complain about being called trolls?!?

Anyone else see the hypocrisy in that?!?

I, for one, actually enjoy your posts.

I hope you stay, and even more, I hope we can learn from each other.

Who knows, maybe eventually you'll see Obama will be better for America as a whole than McCain!

I know that this is anecdotal, but it seems many people are just as sick of hearing about McCain's war stories as I am.

Some choice comments:

"As for McCain’s military experience showing his strength of character, how come the media is not reporting the fact that he dumped his wife after returning from war and went for a millionairess 20 years his former ?

Sure, family values and great character. Give me a break."

- Axel

"Jack, John McCain definitely served his country well, but being a POW does not qualify him to be Commander in Chief. I would say that surviving torture must have created post traumatic stress, And that’s definitely something we would not want our president to have."

The difference between Bush and Obama, is that Bush was just pandering to the religous right to get elected.

Obama actually believes he is supposed to help people, God help him!

God, it just keeps getting worse.

Check out this "article" on CNN about "Obama responds to attacks on his patriotism":

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/30/campaign.wrap/index.html

Some key excerpts:

Obama has been defending his patriotism ever since the beginning of the primary season, when he was first criticized for not wearing a flag pin -- which he now does much more frequently -- and when false rumors began circulating that he did not say the Pledge of Allegiance.

A widely distributed photo also seemed to show him failing to place his hand over his heart during a rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner."

Obama's wife, Michelle, also was criticized about her patriotism, after telling an audience at a campaign event, "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm really proud of my country."

Obama's campaign said she was just excited about the campaign's grassroots support, but her words still provided fodder for her husband's opponents....

Patriotism, [Obama] said, must involve the willingness to sacrifice. He called attention to the service of John McCain, the presumptive Republican candidate.

It worked for Bush vs Kerry....

What? We can't criticize unless we actually ran a campaign?

Excuse me, but I don't think I'm alone in noticing that this kind of capitulation hasn't won Democrats anything.

After Gore and Kerry, Obama promised he would fight back.

I guess it's just one more promise Obama has broken...

I'm sorry if I seem pissed off, but to me, this is like when Kerry told everyone he would still vote for the Iraq War in 2004, even knowing what he knew now!

That gave Bush the upper hand, because after that point, you knew that Kerry was just running on "I'll fight a better war that Bush" - and that was not an argument you could win in 2004.

That's it. This is the turning point.

If Obama is saying it's OK for Lieberman to say that Obama will be a bad CIC, but it's NOT ok to question whether a POW might not make the best CIC...

Maybe I'm an idiot, but I think we need to roll out some military psychologists / analysts who can argue that torture can have lingering effects on a person.

Yes, it's hardball. But it's for the Presidency. As the first commenter said: You can't play not to lose, or you WILL lose.

Where is the rabid Obama who said he wouldn't take shit from McCain?!?

He he keeps this up, Obama's going to make me wish I voted for Hillary!

Question:

Was this the same Face the Nation where Clark questioned McCain's qualifications for President?

So, it's OK for McCain surrogates to declare Obama is not qualified to be CIC, but god forbid a Obama surrogate does the same?!?
