John McCain Mad as Hell That Barack Obama Caught Osama bin Laden

@8: If only he was a kook. He's a spoiled, sleazebag child, who likely to make up for his lack of sexual prowess these days is horrified at the lack of his political and military might. Ever since daddy propped him up, he DESERVES to win everything. Does his privilege mean NOTHING since admiral daddy passed away? Does the privilege of his new wife's money earn him nothing as well?

@4 I've never seen that picture before (or heard about Romney's pro-Vietnam draft activities). What a true fuckwad that man is!

John McCain? Wasn't that the supid effing jackhole who bombed his own aircraft carrier?
Wasn't that the warrior (? ?) who didn't even last 24 hours in combat before he was shot down and captured?
Yeah...I think it's the same stupid old fart......

Shame on Bush for not responding in time (as in, prior to the attacks, when they knew FOR SURE that they would happen) and then turning 9/11 into an excuse to invite fascism to America.

This is the problem - instead, like Ike, of the candidates being concerned for America, each is simply concerned for their political party.
The Republicans, until Obama, have been able to outpace the Democrats in campaign donations, or at the very least, keep pace with them. Obama is a campaign financing juggernaut, so McCain cried foul in '08 and called for public funding of that election. This would have been the perfect opportunity to get public financing in our election, which is something that would help to end corruption in our government, but Obama, despite the fact that McCain only lead in the polls for 15 days out of the entire 14 months that the polls were active in the last election (i.e. there was no way in hell he was going to lose that election anyway), refused to give up his advantage in campaign money for the good of the country, even though it would have cost him nothing to do so.
Now, the GOP is pissed that Obama happened to be the president in office when bin Laden was assassinated (since everyone is still applauding that move, despite how sloppy and lacking in forethought it was).
I'm just surprised Obama didn't make up a banner that said, "NOW - Mission Accomplished". I think that really would have been the cherry on top of that particular shit sundae.
(also, one military accomplishment can't compare with Ike's many military accomplishments. Ike had to run on his military accomplishments. He had little else to run on at the time, though he turned out to be one of the most unifying presidents of the modern age, and a great man, despite his poor choice of VP)

Unlike, say, a president giving a speech on an aircraft carrier in front of a big sign that says "mission accomplished" for a war that wouldn't end until a year after he was out of office? Something like that maybe?

And then there's this -- the 9-11 Tribute video at the Republican National Convention on day 4, shown less than an hour and a half before McCain spoke and excepted the party's nomination.
Screw these bastards!

In that Game Change movie Ed Harris made him look like a reasonable man, not the kook-a-doo he really is. He's the dumb ass who foisted Sara fucking Palin on the country. Go away already.

Interesting and ironic:
While McCain was at the Hanoi Hilton, Romney was avoiding the draft as a Mormon Missionary in France, where he lived in a palace with servants.
And this was after he protested in favor of the draft in 1966 while at Stanford.
And McCain is mad at whom?

With a great picture of preppy Romney holding a picture that reads, "Speak out, don't sit out".
