    We're not. By the language you used regarding Obama, you are the one questioning his patriotism.

    He's pro-war, he's generally for big government, and he's generally anti-immigrant. I'm anti-war. I like limited government. And I'm for open borders.

    [edit]

    Actually someone from one of my other boards summed up the TJ types quite well.

    We may disagree here and there, but not on this. McCain peaked a couple of years ago.

    If our nation loses young men's lives in a rushed, ill conceived and incompetently executed plan is that not wasted?

    It may tragic to acknowledge but it may be the truth.

    I sometimes wonder if we don't perpetuate the aura of honor for our fallen soldiers duplicitously in order to keep up the recruiting quotas. If we admit that the highest levels of our government can make stupendously bad judgements that lead to high body counts among out troops, how long will it be before kids just don't sign up?

    Saying "the kids were wasted" is summarily condemed because it pulls back the wizard's curtain and threatens the power structure, not because it isn't a valid point of view.

    (you might guess that I was of draft age during Viet Nam and don't trust the Department Of Defense to make good strategic use of American lives)

    I was joshing you because you wrote "pawn" instead of "pwn".

    Not when you stake your damn campaign on your intellectual honesty. Didn't he call his campaign the "straighttalk express?"

    "CHARLIE" held Mccain as a POW.He had to do what he had to do,in order to survive,what does that have to do with his patriotism?...
    On the other hand, John Kerry pressured Ronald reagan into granting legal US residency status to over a million salvadorans,during an illegal war in the 80's;Yet Kerry is considered a traitor by the right wing?.
    The left saved my life and millions more,so i will always be Loyal.What has the republican party ever done for you?

    You Republicans might want to open a history book someday and realize that there is more to life than "free trade zones"
    Anyways,McCain should stick to bringing down the evil doer,Barry Bonds:p,find those needles of mass destruction in his Locker!!If He looks hard enough,He just might find them!
    Republicans would make great commissioners and owners not world leaders :D
