		<description>Nice group of advisors.  I guess they&#039;ve found another puppet in John McCain.

&lt;strong&gt;Gary Schmitt&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;em&gt;The Weekly Standard&lt;/em&gt;, November 20,2000:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;The most President Clinton and this team of advisers wanted to do was “contain” Hussein. Pursuing evidence that Iraq was behind an attempt to kill thousands of Americans in New York City on the anniversary of Iraq’s defeat in the Gulf War was an investigative road they didn’t want to go down. If it had been shown that Baghdad was involved, the administration would have been forced to take action. For Saddam Hussein, the Gulf War never ended. Coming to terms with that fact would require the American government to take steps to remove him and his regime from power.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>Peace and role model coming from a Warmongering old billy goat. This guy is as big a contradiction as BUSHCO. Once again he does not know which side of his mouth to open.The &quot;straight talk express&quot; has derailed, he is either for war or peace you can`t have both.This guy means for more years of BUSHCO. Corruption, cronyism and more contradictions.</description>

		<description>Oh, God help us from any more American &quot;transformation&quot; of the world.  The more transforming we do, the more the world hates us.  And while some neocons think this is a good thing, it&#039;s only going to hasten the crumbling of the American Empire.</description>

		<description>Describing a McCain admin. as a &quot;third Bush term&quot; is simply a gross mischaracterization. Difference that start with global warming and include closing Gitmo are substantial, deserving more than your conspicuous neglect. Plus, let&#039;s not forget that McCain spent a good deal of time saying the Bush/Rumsfeld strategy was failing.</description>

		<description>This is so reminiscent of George W Bush&#039;s run for the Presidency.  Remember how he evoked JFK&#039;s tax cuts?  How he pledged a humble foreign policy?  How he railed against nation building?  How he pledged to regulate carbon dioxide emissions and conserve the environment?  How he pledged to help bring us energy independence.  And, how he pledged to keep our nation safe?  Lies.  All lies.

McCain is no different.  He&#039;ll read his flowery speeches now.  We&#039;ll learn that he&#039;s an environmentalist.  That he believes in enlightened foreign policy.  That he knows how to solve the housing crisis.  Etc. Etc.  

But in the end, a McCain Presidency would just be term three of the current administration.  Same disastrous foreign policy.  Same disastrous defense of our nation.  Same disastrous financial policies.  Deficits without end.</description>

		<description>Puhleeze! 
I don&#039;t think we can survive 4 more years of a Bush-like administration.
I saw this guy giving a speech today and he couldn&#039;t keep his eyes off the teleprompter - it was like seeing to a kid read his essay in front of the class.</description>
