They don't remember him as he sucked up to Bush in 2004. Many will be swayed by his military background expecially if the Bushies do something to scare us big time prior to the November election.<BR/><BR/>Also bottom line if McCain gets elected: We will continue to throw money at Iraq and our blessed soldiers will continue to die. <BR/><BR/>And if I may say so from my perspective: I am a Baby Boomer who is due to start collecting Social Security in less than ten years. It has to be there or many folks like me are going to die on the streets.

Andy's Dems have done NOTHING about this war---I even posted THAT in one post (just that alone) and it was deleted. I never thought Id say this but Andy is now like O'Reilly.

A little RETARDED arent we? Andy already KNOWS thats what i meant---he's already deleted me asking it TWO times. Im FAR from right wing---but yes, I DO hate McCain!! I think that has been very clear---Ive not hid that! You called me "dumbass"----hmmm, a personal attack! Im asking about illegals to get a reaction???? Are you insane? Yes! Im asking if he LOVES illegals---and if so---why?? Why does he love them? Thats a simple question. Yes, Im trying to get a reaction! An ANSWER. YOU made the illegal thing a political issue---NOT me, and you call yourself Andy's friend? Not ONCE did I call Andy a name, or did I even try to be insensitive about the illegal question---but how am I supposed to mention what one of them did to his family without actually saying it? You still didnt answer that one. Im asking honest, legitimate questions here and getting attacked for it. YOU chose to make that political by assuming I was HAPPY about what happened to Andy's family. THATS cruel---and you should apologize to Andy for making his personal tragedy political. I was only asking how can he like illegals depite what happened? Was that a better way of saying it? I think its a legitimate question! And yes, I DID call you dumbass---because of you asking that first question in your post when it was crystal CLEAR I was talking about why Andy didnt mention the war/surge in the McCAIN POST----NOT THE ONE UNDERNEATH! Duh. Tell me why arent my questions legitimateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-31089973716703851432008-02-06T00:11:00.000-05:002008-02-06T00:11:00.000-05:00what is wrong with asking why Andy doesnt hate ill...what is wrong with asking why Andy doesnt hate illegal immigrants? Whats wrong with that? As for Nathan Dean's post----I mainly wanted to know why Andy did not mention ONE word about the war or the surge when the story right underneath this one is about him being very against it. How was I supposed to mention why Andy doesnt hate illegal immigrants without mentioning the tragedy that one of them caused him? YOURE spinning and making this a political point by making it appear as if I am happy that that happened to Andy. You know damned well no sane person would be happy about the death of a loved one in someone's family, but you chose to make YOUR political point out of it by making it appear that it filled my heart with joy posting it. I even said in my FIRST post (that Andy deleted) that "I dont mean to be insensitive or cruel". Why doesnt Andy answer the questions instead of deleting posts if for some reason he thinks Im wrong or that I misunderstood his story? Why doesnt he set it straight and reply? No, he ignores it and deletes it----thats very Bill O Reilly of him. And sidney---although I do enjoy Andy's posts when he attacks Bush and calls his minions "Busheviks"---you have to agree that THAT is a personal attack---despite it being funny, but I dont see you condemning that, do I? So, in other words, a personal attack is only a personal attack when you disagree with it. But when you agree with it and enjoy it, all of a sudden, its not a personal attack. I didnt even call Andy a name! But in this post he called Limbaugh and Hannity "nuts", "narrow-minded blathering boorish buffoons", and "lunatics". He called Levin a "nasty, angry, mean-spirited blowhard". Im not saying I dont agree---but nonetheless they are personal attacks. And one last thing Nathan Dean----you wanted to know where I get its a love-letter? My goodness---he equated McCain with the founding fathers! Now, THATS insanity! I would like to know just ONE thing that was never answered by Andy-----Why no mention of McCain supporting the war or the surge during this "non" love-letter to McCain when he JUST did a story on it below? Can he at LEAST answer that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-11605619527598266142008-02-05T18:24:00.000-05:002008-02-05T18:24:00.000-05:00When I left my comment, I hadn't read the previous...When I left my comment, I hadn't read the previous comments. (I'm unsure if the despicable email(s) had already been removed). However, as I now understand the gist of what the deranged poster had said, I must comment. <BR/><BR/>Disagree with Andy all you want, but he is a highly intelligent and passionate American patriot. Shame on you for bringing up such a heartbreaking personal tragedy. This blog is for the discussion of American political issues, not for personal attacks. If you choose to make such disgraceful, inhuman remarks then at least have the courtesy of posting your real name, rather than anonymous, so that I may have the pleasure of knowing who's ass I will be kicking in the near future.Sidney Condorcethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956869706962997123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-6094747988929807162008-02-05T18:17:00.000-05:002008-02-05T18:17:00.000-05:00Got news for the right wing, anti-immigrant piss a...Got news for the right wing, anti-immigrant piss ants coming after Ostroy, he's a lot tougher and a lot smarter than you are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-10238409200782294272008-02-05T17:06:00.000-05:002008-02-05T17:06:00.000-05:00I don't know why everyone is getting so flustered ...I don't know why everyone is getting so flustered by McCain.

John Kerry's "swiftboat" attack was nothing but lies, McCain really doesn't represent the majority of the Republicans, because, as someone else on this blog says, he does what's good for him. And, the Republicans are not going to ever compromise - with McCain or Obama. They are typical neurotics: they "want what they want when they want it." That's why Obama will be a disaster -- he is not a fighter. McCain would be a disaster because his spine turns in the direction most advantageous for McCain.

His stance on certain issues has nothing to do with his values or principles, it has to do with what he thinks is the best political position to take. <BR/><BR/>If something is good for McCain, he will see it as good for America. <BR/><BR/>BUT If something is good for America, but not necessaryily good for McCain .. he will choose what is best for him. <BR/><BR/>This man has taken his former POW status and made a political career out of it. <BR/><BR/>He doesn’t give a rats a$$ about anything or anyone except himself and his ego. <BR/><BR/>Did you know that he has been the biggest enemy to the families of Prisoners of War and those Missing in Action from Vietnam? He has made the efforts of these families a mockery by belittling witnesses during testimony at Senate hearings, supporting and passing legislation that weakened previous legislation which gave the families some sense of oversight. McCain just came in and gutted it - He has saw to it that documents remained classified LONG after their declassification date - Why? Because some of them deal with him and what he did while in captivity. Once again, he made the POW/MIA Issue about HIM!<BR/><BR/>for more - please go to http://powwarrior.wordpress.com <BR/><BR/>It will make you sick what this man has done to families whose fate was much worse than his own. <BR/><BR/>There is no denying what is there in black and white. Just watch the video … It will make you sick!<BR/><BR/>The man is a psycho - if elected, they will be adding a psych wing on to the West Wing!
