WASHINGTON — Republican presidential hopeful John McCain fixed his sights on Saddam Hussein long before President Bush sent the U.S. military to oust the Iraqi dictator in March 2003.

"The views are right out of the Marxist Code Pinkos I have countered many times at their rallies."

You go to "Marxist Code Pinko Rallies"? Wow!

Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark.

Your same delusional thinking can be seen at DU and KOS

"Drill Baby Drill" is...delusional?

The primary role of the U.S. Government being the common defense of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic...is delusional? Wtf?

Then again, I suppose that such things would seem delusional to a self-admitted attender of "Marxist Code Pinko Rallies."

I along with other FReepers and Postest Warriors counter the Code Pinkos at their rallies near the Naval Hospital and Medical center here in San Diego the same as the DC Freepers do at Walter Reed.

But you knew this and just wanted to be a smart ass

Have you ever seen conservatives counter Marxists at their rallies such ie, when I was with some of the Minite men and others countering ove 50,000 Mexicans at their rally here a few yrs. ago.

So Some of the San Diego FReeper, DC Freepers, and Minute men are Marxists, interesting.

The MacArthur Foundation was a big backer of McCain’s Campaign Finance Reform.

Cecilia Munoz was a big supporter of McCain’s amnesty program.

Buy a clue. They’re ALL liberals and the longer the Republican party pursues a non-conservative agenda we’ll ALL be losers!

McCain saw the intelligence on how many terrorist attacks Saddam was involved in. Info most don't have a clue even today.

While some are still fighting last months war, we need to deal with Marxist Obama and make his stay miserable.

The children who are playing games with the Code Pinko rallies I have countered, a freeper you know and on your ping list has been with me on these, so the children on this thread thinks she is a Marxist too, I don’t think so.

Laurie Mylroie is the author of "Study of Revenge: Saddam Hussein's Unfinished War," which outlines her case that Iraq had a central role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. She served as an adviser on Iraq to the 1992 Clinton presidential campaign.

Why exactly should I trust a Clintonista's advice?

Yeah, right -- my trusty little crystal ball revealed all that to me.

Now why would you think that I'd know where you've been & why?

Our candidate? I wasn’t aware a third party won this election. News to me.

Last month's war? Hello??!!!! McCain has joined with Harry Reid and wants to pull the pubbies along with him to support the Messiah. We need to fight them ALL! Same with McCain/Lieberman's cap and trade nonsense that Obama is now pushing.

You need to take off those rose-colored pubblie glasses and start identifying all the liberals we need to fight. Yes... some of them even have an "R" by their name.

I would have thought you would have learned this after being a big Arnold supporter. The enemy(R) IS within and until they are purged, they will undermine every effort made by those trying to defeat the enemies(D)!

Laurie Mylroie has actually done some very impressive investigative work on various subjects. Don’t judge her based only on her old boss. Of course, using her work as a basis for justifying McCain being an interventionist and voting to spend trillions of dollars building infrastructure in foreign lands is a stretch, IMO.

Not many if any threads bashing Obama by the McCain bashers. Obama gets a free pass.

Personally, I find that I have more responsiblity for and influence on my own kids than the gang bangers down the street.

We need to clean up our own house to have any chance of effectively fighting Democrats. With "our guy McCain" playing quarterback and constantly throwing the ball to the other team, we don't have much chance. Time to bench the Maverick.

Ya can keep fighting Bustamante if ya want, but Arnold IS a major cause of the problems in California. The same goes for McCain with respect to the nation.

Obama is a socialist. The theme here is that we won’t tolerate it within our own party. The enemy within is more dangerous than the one who openly carries his banner for all to see. As such we will continue to “bash” RINO’s like McLame and Gramnesty.

Obama is a moron. He’s economically illiterate and he’s going to make this crisis much worse. He honestly believes the government can and should help people. Both are wrong and the should is unconstitutional. Why would we NOT get angry when people with an R behind their name agree and work with him?

I am always amused by those who don't get angry and actually try to defend the scumbags. Blind partisanship or closet liberals... not sure which is most prevalent.

I think ya missed a word or something here:

Both are are wrong and the should is unconstitutional.

That thinking gave us Hitler, he inched along year after year in the 1930s until it was to late.
I grew up around dozens and dozens of people fresh out of
the Nazi camps. I saw Buchanwald when I was in East Germany in 1983. Not exactly a vacation spot.

Oh it sounded better in my head. I guess the “should” should be in quotation marks. I was trying to say that the idea that the government can and should help people (New Deal, welfare style) is wrong, and the act of the government helping (again in the same way) people is unconstitutional.

with Soros helping pull the strings among others.

Oh, give me a break! You are way over the top with this crap.

...he inched along year after year in the 1930s until it was to late.

And the liberals are moving along with their socialist agenda, aided and abetted by the likes of John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and others. If Republicans don't reject them, who exactly do you think will? With a John McCain as "titular head" of the GOP, how do you expect Conservatives to effectively fight Obama and his commie clan?

You really, really, need to take a closer look at who all of the enemies are. Democrats do not have the monopoly on liberalism.

(Hint--the enemy ain't me, or rabscuttle, or ron paul, or any of the others who you continue to snipe at--unless you actually want to advance the liberal agenda).
