File under: Govt of Iran

#1 The WOT is the only thing I think McCain is right about. He's pretty much wrong everywhere else. This is not because Pat Buchanan hates him, but because he was right about more boots on the ground in Iraq. (I just don't think he has the political balls to have actually put them there that Bush has. I think someone said here that he has physical courage, but no political courage.)

I intend to vote for Romney before McCain but I will vote for McCain in the face of the Democratic nominee, who will be, regardless of race or gender, wrong on EVERYTHING. Nevertheless, there will be a narrow window in which we will be able to save the Republic after a McCain Presidency.

#2 Buchanan would probably encourage Iran to go ahead and wipe Israel off the map.

That being said, this is another reason why Bush should deal with Iran before leaving office. Hillary would sit and do nothing while Iran goes nuclear. But I wouldn't trust McCain to handle it either. I wouldn't trust McCain with much of anything.

#3 Pat Buchanan came out against The Maverick? My comfort level with McCain just went up half a notch.

Buchana is anti-Israel, pro-surrender, and all in favor of populist economics over the free market. If he could just bring himself to say that while he's "personally opposed to abortion", he nevertheless "supports a woman's legal right to choose" he'd be Democrat enough to wrangle a sub-cabinet spot in the Hilbama administration.

#4 The WOT is the only thing I trust McCain would do very well.

Everything else would be as good as a spunksicle pop.

#5 OK: Romney for President, McCain for VP (with focus on WOT) or Secretary of Defense.

#6 "'President McCain' Would Launch Iran War"

Huh. First good reason I've heard to vote for McCain (other than to prevent Commissar Billary from leading our nation down the drain).

#7 MILITARY.com > REPORT: [US] MILITARY UNPREPARED FOR MAJOR ATTACK [On AMERICA = CONUS]. Be it a Chemical, Biological, or Nuke-Radioactive
"incident". In particular, US NATIONAL GUARD AND RESERVES DO NOT HAVE THE MANPOWER OR EQUIPMENT LEVELS FOR EFFECTIVE RESPONSE.

#8 ABM - Anyone (repuglicon) But McCain. I wouldn't trust him to change a light bulb, and certainly NEVER a fuse.

#9 "He's in Putin's face, he's threatening the Iranians, we're going to be in Iraq a hundred years," Buchanan added.

At least the world will not have to listen to Buchanan for "100 years."

#10 The psychology behind McCain--if he holds a war, no one will EVER look into his betrayal of men in Vietnam. He's played the POW thing to the hilt, so this is all that's left. Then he can finally feel safe. Personally, I'd rather have the Mormie guy.
