Same Old Slimy Democrats

Barack Obama's new kinda politics continues to look like he's running for Richard Nixon's third term. It seems there's no level of deceit he's not happy to stoop to in order to misrepresent reality.

Take the buzz over John McCain's comments regarding Iraq on the Today show this morning. McCain said, very clearly, that his primary concern is American casualties.

Matt Lauer, NBC: "If it's working Senator, do you now have a better estimate of when American forces can come home from Iraq?"

McCain: "No, but that's not too important. What's important is the casualties in Iraq. Americans are in South Korea, Americans are in Japan, American troops are in Germany. That's all fine. American casualties and the ability to withdraw; we will be able to withdraw. General Petraeus is going to tell us in July when he thinks we are. But the key to it is we don't want any more Americans in harm's way. And that way, they will be safe, and serve our country, and come home with honor and victory, not in defeat, which is what Senator Obama's proposal would have done."

The Barack Attack Machine jumped with zeal, taking the "No, but that's not too important" line out of context in order to make it seems as if McCain's meaning was 180 degrees from what he said.

The Obama campaign and Democratic leaders accused Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) of being confused and heartless after he told NBC’s “Today” show Wednesday that it’s “not too important” when U.S. troops return from Iraq.

Apparently unable to find anyone with credibility to slander McCain, Barack's campaign turned to the man who lost four years ago to George Bush because Americans found him to be sans spine. He was true to expectations today.

Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) said on a quickly organized Obama conference call that McCain’s comment was “unbelievably out of touch with the needs and concerns of most Americans,” saying that to families of troops in harm’s way, “To them, it's the most important thing in the world.”

Barack is apparently so desperate to keep the spotlight off the Obamafia that he has thrown the new kinda politics out the window and replaced it with the same old same old. He probably figures, rightly, that his supporters are too uninformed to know that he doesn't practice anything he preaches. He makes me sick.
