We better get a lot of useage out of the "Bomb Iran" clip.  People will buy McCain's BS for a time, just as they bought it about the Iraq War, unless it is dispelled quickly.

on the head.

This is NOT a GAFFE.

Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and the rest of the nation...should watch McCain.

He is laying the foundation through soundbites, etc. for conflict with Iran. The only MSM person who seems to recognize this is Keith O.

To me, this really underscores just how ridiculous partisans favoring either Clinton or Obama are when they say they will vote for John McCain if their preferred candidate doesn't win the nomination.  Seriously folks, if you do that then remember that it'll be partially your fault when we're invading Iran and continuing GWB's failed economic policies for a third term.  

Thanks for flagging this stuff Jonathan.  Honestly, it's good that someone in the progressive blogosphere has their eye on what's really important.  

The Iraq study group established years ago that there are connections between Iran and AQ.

It is an error to claim that Shiites will not support Sunnis if it helps them achieve their political goals.

The more I watch McCain, the more I see someone who is just a figurehead for the same neocon forces that propelled GWB to victory. This guy is at the tail end of his career and he is being propped up by the Cheneys of the world so they can finish off their agenda. We need to make this clear to moderate voters and let them know what they are really in for.

When are the voters and the media going to wake up to the fact that McCain is senile?

I can honestly say that I've gone from being really excited about the prospects of our two candidates to extremely depressed within a very short period of time.  If we lose this election, it'll be entirely self-inflicted.  Can you really truly imagine McCain for another 4 years?  That would be the ultimate booby prize.  I'd be devastated.  I can't take anymore of what we've got now.

Even Gen. Petraeus corrected the CNN reporter on the Iran/AQI connection yesterday. Just like Bush conflated Al Qaeda with Iraq to get us into Iraq so too is McCain conflating Iran with AQI to both keep us in Iraq and get us into Iran.

Even today, after all of the evidence, 9/11 commissions, etc. 60% of Republicans believe that Saddam was "responsible" for the 9/11 attacks. This is a free country and people are entitled to their own opinions and own allegiances. BUT NOT THEIR OWN FACTS. I don't know if it is Faux News or Rush or Hannity that perpetuate this or what.

I'm a liberal Democrat first. I'm an Obama supporter second. If Obama becomes "unelectable" over the course of the next month because of the Wright association I will be disapppointed, but then I will support Hillary strongly.

The alternative is just too scary and unfathomable. A vote for McCain is a vote for four more years of GW Bush. It is really that simple. I really don't care about Hillary's tax records or who donated to the Clinton library. I don't care about Wright's or Power's opinions. I know that Hillary and Obama agree on about 90% of the issues that I agree with. McCain does not.

With all of this in mind, I ask again: Even considering McCain's apparent strength in polling, are Americans really going to elect someone who is fudging the facts about a purported relationship between Iran and Al Qaeda in Iraq in the immediate wake of a presidency in which the administration went to great lengths to allege a connection between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda in order to get the country behind a war in Iraq?

In other words, are Americans going to give Bush a third term?

Just flip a coin.

TRM your friends would probably never vote for a black man or a white woman.  The truth is our country is still racially divided and will be until there is a larger amount of non-whites in our country.  How in the hell can anyone vote for McCain.  If roles were reversed and Bush was a dem, the Dems would get creamed in 8 months.  However, this country AS A WHOLE not talking about NY, or CA is still CONSERVATIVE/Bigoted.  Truthfully if John Edwards were running TRM you know they would vote for Edwards over McCain.  Unfortunately we will loose in 8 months because of our decision as dems to vote with our hearts and not our heads.  How sad....

What was Hillary going on about last week? Senator McCain has passed the Commander in Chief Test?

What a disgrace! Either she is the absolute worse judge of a person's ability or she is as disingenuous as Obama said she was yesterday. With judgement like that, she isn't fit to be PTA president.

So the Shiite Iranians have been supporting the Sunni/Al Qaeda terrorists who have been destroying Shiite shrines and waging ethnic cleansing on Shiites?  Wow.

Despite the disturbing message of your diary, my eyes still wanted to glaze because the topic was John McCain.  When he was my Senator forever ago he also put me to sleep.  People don't understand McCain's secret weapon: he's so boring no one really listens to him, or even wants to listen to anything about him.  There's nothing he can say to stir any passion in anybody.  In an election that's stirring so much passion on the Democratic side, following a disastrous presidency by the charismatic Bush, McCain's blandness is somehow reassuring.  How can anybody so dull help but be experienced and competent?

Ladys and gentlemen: the foreign policy experience candidate! God I hope we win the white house.

Let me think about this.

Yes, I think McCain does want to go to war with Iran.  

As you were.
