There were no terrorist groups that were a danger to the U.S. in Iraq prior to our invasion. If Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 WHY did we invade them? The money we have spent the lives we have lost the injuries we have sustained have NOT reduced the risk of attacks in the future. The reason we have not been attacked since 9/11 is because we are doing a better job of defending our country not because of our invasion of Ira

The McCain Position on staying in Iraq is WRONG. The ONLY reason to keep a small contingent of ground military is to deal with al-Qaeda cells. It is time for the 500,000 Iraqi Military and police we trained to secure the country and keep the three main factions from killing each other. <span style="font-size: small; fo

“Taxes are low.” The deficit is high. We must bring our tax revenue equal to the spending we approve. “We are fighting Islamic terrorism instead of running from it (like democrats would do a better job since all they worry about is what the world thinks of us.” We are fighting in a civil war not terrorism in Iraq.

I have read letters in my local paper that indicate a few people are grateful for the leadership of President George W. Bush. When I read these letters I am convinced there must be a parallel Universe. The one I live in has shown President Bush as an arrogant and totally destructive leader who has caused more harm to more Americans than any other President in my life

WHO CARES ABOUT BUSH? Any American that wants the Bush policies to be changed cares that his successor understands we have had enough of the Bush agenda. That is why McCain is not the person that should be elected in November 2008. He, for the most part, will continue most of the Bush Agenda from the campaign statements he has made. <

Bush said this morning g that America is in danger because the House did not pass the new FISA act. That is a LIE. The provision of the existing law still allows the intelligence community to go to the FISA Court and obtain warrants to allow the surveillance of telecom conversations. Bush made it appear as if the failure to pass th

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs will report to Congress that we MUST reduce the Army combat tours from 15 to 12 months and provide longer periods between combat tours and his position is in agreement with the Army CoS. This puts our top military leaders at odds with a policy that we continue troop strength in Iraq at anything close to the 130,000 l

“That's because this bill was meant to stimulate the economy not help the poor. The money was put in the hands of those they believed would best use it to stimulate the economy.

It took the Democrats in the Senate to help our disabled vets. Bush, McCain and MOST of the GOP Senators ignored the needs of our disabled Vets.

My Blog about the GOP help for disabled vets and the poor says “These people not only have denied the most effective elements of any stimulus package” The truth is that the very elements that would be MOST effective to stimulate spending are the very elements that the GOP blocked.

WHY did McCain not vote on the Senate Bill to give disabled Vets and the very poor rebates? Why did McCain not support millions of unemployed from receiving unemployment benefits?
