McCain Says "I Will Lose"

Mccain has backtracked on a lot!Immigration is one..he is a very loose Rep. so loose that Rep's that I know said that they were voting Dem. They might as well. Mccain is already backtracking and he hasn't been elected yet- I shudder to think what will happen if he is..

McCain put too much faith in his stance on the Iraq war and knows it now. His advisors are building a general election campaign now, rather than pandering to the Republicans alone, he is now setting himself up to get the right and the majority of the center as well as some liberal crossovers. Will it work? No. But at least the truth is out there.

I do know that he will with that comment. He did retract and try to explain what he did mean. I know the others really jumped on it and made sure to make a big thing out of it. Do you think he meant it the way that it sounded?

There are way more important things then the war in Iraq and I do not think that 75 percent of the population is against it, it is 75% of the more vocal people who are. Most people do not bother to get out and vote. And besides with three Democrats running - yes McCain is a Republican in Democrat's clothing, he can just leave because there is still Hillary and Ohama. Much of McCain's views on abortion and same-s*x is the same as the Democrats. So I am hoping the other Republicans can fill in the gap and perhaps offer a peaceful solution and get Iraq on the way to democracy.

I think too many people don't realize what war is and how wars end. McCain has a realistic view on America's presence in Iraq while Obama and Clinton are just catering to the anti-war people who think that wars are supposed to end overnight. How many US troops are still stationed in Germany, Okinawa, and Korea? How long do you think it will be before we take our troops out of those countries? Most of us weren't even alive when those wars were fought so people don't realize that the continued presence in a country after a war is standard. We don't own, nor do we control what happens in those countries. They are free countries with stable economies. The US help Afghanistan defeat the Russians and immediately split. Look what happened there. Is that what you all want to happen in Iraq? Terrorists love defeated broken countries. They make great training grounds and launchpads for future terrorist attacks. His statement was not a wise one. He should have realized that many voters are too young to understand how wars end. 100 years sounds like a ridiculous number to people that are in their 20s and 30s and can't even remember Vietnam much less the wars prior.

I never knew trains could zig and zag the way McCain's Straight Talk Express has been lately. I don't get what he's doing anymore. He needs the right to come to him not the other way around. I used to like McCain but now he's changed his views on torture, the Bush tax cuts, abortion, etc. I forget who said it but someone made a great point about McCain, if you follow his life and history, he is used to being at war. I think he'd make a great wartime President, unfortunate for him right now we need at least 8 years of peace so we can start to rebuild America.

I think for John McCain to be speaking the "Truth" about us being in Iraq for a hundred years is a Campaign error and would hurt his run for the presidency simply because most people are just plain ignorant when it comes to defending our country.Most people don't even consider the fact that we are stationed in about 90 different places around the world and have been since WWII and beyond. When he talks about staying in Iraq he doesn't mean at the full strength we are now.

I think Mccain is goign to be another bush. I also think that all the other front runners are dochebags and we would be better off with one of the back runners perferably Ron Paul but i would be happier with Huckabee than the other three. thats my thoughts though. I think that we need to watch it b/c we may be electing another bush as the republican nominee and that just wont be good.

By putting the war as a centerpiece of his campaign, or by daring Americans to put their blind faith in him when it comes to national security, McCain has put the nails on his political coffin.
