McCain Starts Up

McCain is finally starting to campaign (see that link? It's underlined and goes to where I first found this information), and he's casting Obama as untested, unprepared to lead the country and too aloof to connect with voters. His audience? Pissed off working-class and old white Democrat women who voted HillDog.

He doesn't even have to say anything - how come? He just has to show stock footage of the Democrats themselves.



Meanwhile, on page 22 of the buried news -

President Bush has pulled a Jesse Jackson on Obama's ONE major campaign platform - (that's Cut His Nuts Off, in case you're just tuning in)

He's ending the Iraq War!!!
(link to full story on NPR)
Welllll... just because there's a deal for troop with drawl doesn't mean it's 100% the "War Is Over" BUT it effectively ends the Obama talking point and campaign promise to pull the troops out of Iraq.

See, the draft agreement with Iraq would link troop reductions to achievement of certain security milestones, although the details have not been made public. So there you go - and the Iraqi's can simply "ask" for us to stick around. But it gets the troops out by 2011.

Now I have to ask, what's different from John McCain and Obama? (I mean other than height?)

Abortion? You ask? I didn't bring it up... but Nancy Peloisi just did - on Meet the Press. She said that she has studied the Roman Catholic's stance on abortion. Oh? Really?
She said that the Church was against abortion after the Pill.

Uh, Nancy? The Church writings specifically naming abortion as murder appear as early as 70 AD in the Didache, the first written catechism of the Christian church (Didache 2:1–2 [A.D. 70]). How'd you study that, exactly? Wikipedia, and just scrolled down to the bottom? Citation needed.

And abortion, as an issue? That's so old, so boring, so cliched... so not a winning strategy in purple swing states.

President McCain... the McCain Administration...
Hey, you know what? That IS getting easier to type.
