War is Hell. Someday when we have world peace you'll understand.

Bush totally mismanaged the war, John McCain called for an increase in troops from the beginning, if McCain's advice had been followed from the beginning this thing would be old news.

Actually, I remember reading a few months ago that Obama won't allow himself to be photographed with Muslims at campaign events because he doesn't want people to make the association. Not very inclusive, if you ask me.

Do you know that if Romney was the GOP nominee I wouldn't be licking his boots and making excuses for him nor would I be voting for him.

I'm just trying to hold a mirror up to your face MEM. It's pretty wild watching you toe the dem party line even though you never really liked Obama or the dirty tactics he used to beat your choice or the fact that he should have put your choice on the dem ticket and didn't.

You may have noticed I'm not making up things about McCain or Palin. And if it was Hillary or someone else on the ticket it would be just a different set of wild accusations that you guys would be getting all self-rightous about.

You repeated lies others have told about palin. Its the same thing.

You were posting about her alleged book banning, as I recall. That has been debunked.

To be fair, however, I think you dropped it after the allegation was disproven.

Actually, and sadly, I stand corrected. I see, over the McCain thread, you're still repeating that canard.

GOP campaign downplays Palin book-banning inquiry

WASILLA, Alaska (AP) — The McCain campaign is defending Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's much-criticized inquiry into banning books at her hometown library, saying her questions were only hypothetical.

Shortly after taking office in 1996 as mayor of Wasilla, a city of about 7,000 people, Palin asked the city's head librarian about banning books. Later, the librarian was notified by Palin that she was being fired, although Palin backed off under pressure.

Palin alleged attempt at book-banning has been a matter of intense interest since Republican presidential nominee John McCain named her as his running mate last month.

Taylor Griffin, a spokesman for the McCain campaign, said Thursday that Palin asked the head librarian, Mary Ellen Emmons, on three occasions how she would react to attempts at banning books. He said the questions, in the fall of 1996, were hypothetical and entirely appropriate. He said a patron had asked the library to remove a title the year before and the mayor wanted to understand how such disputes were handled.

Records on the city's Web site, however, do not show any books were challenged in Wasilla in the 10 years before Palin took office.

Then I must be in cahoots with the McCain campaign...

Don't make this about me. I'm trying to tell you that you hated this guy just 2 months ago. I'm asking you how you can just snap your fingers and support someone you had so much disgust for.


I was so against Romney I would have voted for Obama. Honest.

You are implying, if not outright alleging, that Palin tried to get books banned and fired the librarian when she refused. However, the article you cited does not allege any of that. It simply notes that Palin asked a hypothetical question and never banned any books. Furthermore, as noted before, there is no evidence that the librarian was fired because of Palin's desire to ban books.

You're repeating a smear even after it was disproven.

what are some policy differences?


by the way did you know as governor Palin was solely responsible for killing a bill that would have banned gay marriage. she said that she had no right to make that a law....it was unconstitutional.

That won't mean anything to MEM. Remember when it was pointed out that his beloved Bill Clinton was the one who signed the anti-gay "Defense of Marriage Act" into law? MEM deluded himself into thinking Clinton did that to save MEM from the Republicans.

MEM, seriously, this comes off as you just casting about for a flimsy excuse for why you suddenly support Obama and dislike McCain.

I'll rephrase, then.

MEM, seriously, this comes off as you just casting about for a flimsy excuse for why you suddenly support Obama and no longer support McCain.
