Washington Times ^ | 7/24/08 | House editorial

On July 14, the NYT published an op-ed by Barack Obama explaining his security plan for Iraq, in which he argued in favor of removing U.S. combat troops by the summer of 2010, while leaving a much smaller residual force in place. At the same time, Mr. Obama proposed sending at least two additional combat brigades to support the U.S. military effort in Afghanistan.

Fair enough - that's what an Op-Ed Page is for.

Unfortunately, the NYT failed

After years of gushing over the "maverick" John McCain and praising him for bucking conservative orthodoxy and crossing the party aisle to work with Democrats, the New York Times suddenly decided McCain was no longer "maverick" enough to qualify for inclusion on their op-ed page. That's the thanks one gets for thinking liberals play fair and then waking up to discover they never loved you at all. Ouch!

Hey McCain you keep yelling about Obombo not admitting he is wrong about the Surge ,when are you going to admit RUSH LIMBAUGH was right about you when he predicted that after years of the the left wing loon press kissing your butt when you were a thorn In George Bushs side that they would stick it up your butt when you ran against a Democrat ?
So take what you have coming CHUMP

The NYT is a complete failure as a newspaper. It has abandoned integrity in order to help elect a far-left candidate.

When did the NYT have integrity?

[Ulysse]

OK OK it was repeated over and over!
So what now?
Beatting OUSBAMA is the next goal and McCain must be helped to GET SOME FIGHTING SPIRIT against the libs if he wants to energize sensible voters(not the hysterical obamaniacs)
