McCain's victory speech is marvelous - humble, resolute, noble.
His every word is a jab at Sir Mitt because McCain is a man who was willing to give up his personal presidential ambitions to do what he thought was right with the surge and with a centrist solution to the problem of illegal immigration.

That's the John McCain who got me involved in politics for the first time a decade ago and I'm sure glad to have him back.
Thank God for someone like McCain in American politics. It is too easy for all the candidates to simply state what they are going to "give" the American people or the "rights" they will defend, whether natural, constitutional, or wholly created. McCain reminds us that we should never forget our DUTY to our fellow countrymen and nation.
mr. kuo,
i seen u a few times on tv and i can here to belief net as a direct result of your talking about it- so please forgive me my tone in asking - why do u support any republican for any gov. office?
i heard you say that you believed in Gods Son- Yash'wa the Messiah from Nazareth and im having trouble looking at you reconciling the two things as if they were not impossible opposites.
ronald reagan borrowed this nation into a debt that was greater then all previous presidents did- except for
g. bushed- it will take your children's children children to get the INTEREST down on his work.
was the amount borrowed given to every american so that every american as well as many others could be billionaires in this age?
no it was and is being spent to bring more human suffering into the world- or do you not see iranian children as human?
one one can serve two masters pal- what makes you think YOU can?
>o
The problem is that the surge did not achieve any political end. Iranian style Shias control the south. The federal government of Iraq is a very loose group that has yet to pass oil revenue sharing between the Turks, the Shias, the Kurds, and the Sunnis.
In fact, legislators took a vacation while our troops patrolled in 110 + degree Bhagdad streets laced with IEDs.
If a mosque blows up, we may be back right where we were before.
I have yet to hear any media outlet say the Civil War is over.
peter d roman,
Evangelicals have introduced a false moral absolutism into a politics of relativity and compromise. David and others overlook glaring hypocritical behavior like 'Mission Accomplished' or Huckabee saying he's not gonna air a negative ad; but he'll share it with the press core.
This moral absolutism has led to Rush, FOX, Glenn Beck, etc. hypnotizing their audience. They masquerade as angels of light while getting folks to vote against their own self-interest.
The brand of self-righteousness they peddle is more intoxicating than any street or prescribed drug.
I'll bet anything these clowns, along with Dobson and Robertson, have audience members whose kids don't have health insurance and would have been eligible under an expanded S-CHIP program.
I grew up in the Evangelical Fundamentalist Program and saw it change from a Billy Graham-Johnny Cash-U2 flavor to what it is today.
"Jesus never let me down,
You know Jesus used to show me the score,
Then they put Jesus in show business,
Now it's hard to get in the door."
