"[Y]ou talk to those Republicans who voted for McCain, and they don't know anything, other than he was a POW."
-GOP propagandist Ann Coulter, on NBC's Today Show (Feb. 8, 2008)
One Jan. 3, 2008, at a town hall meeting in New Hampshire, the Republican Party's intractable presidential nominee - Arizona Senator John McCain - infamously claimed that the American military will remain an unwelcome occupying force in Iraq for the next 100 years.
The cantankerous, intellectually addled 71-year-old Senator McCain apparently neglected to ask either the Iraqi or the American people for our assent.
Then again, the backwards, bloodthirsty former naval aviator undoubtedly forgot to ask the people of Vietnam for their acquiescence either, back when "Vietnam War hero" John McCain was - in violation of international law - bombing innocent women and children with napalm in "free-fire zones" during that unnecessary genocidal quagmire, which cost over 58,000 American GI's their lives (in addition to 3 million dead Vietnamese, Cambodians & Laotians).
As a particularly hypocritical and notorious presence in American politics these past few decades, John McCain has continued to earn his well-deserved negative reputation as an exceedingly-ambitious, self-righteous, irate and unstable man still mentally-confined in "The Hanoi Hilton," compulsively intent on re-fighting old battles long since lost, regardless of the horrific cost in human live or national treasure.
The senile Senator McCain should be told that Iraq is not Vietnam - no matter how deluded the Republican presidential nominee man be - and that it is time to move beyond these old arguments and catastrophes of the past.
Democrats, Independents, and enlightened Republicans: it is time for change! This November 4, please exercise your right to vote. Derail insane John McCain's "straitjacket," before this white-haired warmonger launches another illegal imperial war based on lies and greed.
