MacCain: in your heart you know he's right

More than 70 people have been killed in blasts at three cities in Iraq, in one of the deadliest days there for weeks.

At least 53 died and another 90 were injured when explosives packed in a bus detonated outside a restaurant near a court in Baquba, north of the capital.

And 13 more were killed in a suicide bombing at a kebab restaurant where policemen were eating in Ramadi, which had seen a sharp decline in violence.

Three people were also killed in Mosul in the north, and another in Baghdad.

If you want more of this, be sure to vote for MacCain in November: apparently everything's going just great over there in Iraq, and you need to keep sending more troops over there to prove it.

By the way, this news doesn't appear on Fox, because it's not interesting or germane to the US election.

Sadly enough, I'm thinking McCain's going to win it. Not because of his credibility, but because of bullshit like priests and orange juice and bitterness. He'll probably trounce Hillary if she gets the Dem nod, but I'm thinking that Obama's going to at least get that far.

I don't know. Frankly, I'm kind of exhausted with the whole thing.

When I was little, I did a report on the good things Nixon did. I wanted a challenge, and I was actually surprised how many good things he had done. I can't remember them anymore though.

Indeed, McCain has been confused quite a bit lately on a wide range of issues:

– McCain has said waterboarding “should never be condoned in the U.S.” but voted against a bill banning the CIA from using torture, specifically including waterboarding.

– McCain says he is “a consistent supporter of educational benefits” for the military but has indicated he will not support the bipartisan 21st Century GI Bill.

– On at least three occasions, McCain baselessly claimed Iran is training Al Qaeda in Iraq but argued the error was an isolated slip of the tongue.

– McCain falsely suggested that Al-Qaeda in Iraq is a “sect of Shi’ites.”

– McCain falsely claimed Moktada al-Sadr “declared the cease-fire” after recent fighting in Basra and has said he is both a “major player” in Iraq and that his influence “has been on the wane for a long time.”

– Economists and nonpartisan analysts have said recently that the numbers is McCain’s economic plan simply “don’t add up.”

– McCain has made the elimination of earmarks a cornerstone of his presidential campaign but he can’t name any he would eliminate.

– In a matter of one day, McCain said Americans are both “better off” and “not better off” than they were before President Bush took office.

McCain’s latest 30-second flip-flop represents the political dance he must engage in to try to appeal to both the conservative evangelical wing of the Republican Party and independent-minded Americans. But despite all his back and forth, the media still seem happy to promote McCain’s self-proclaimed persona as a “straight-talking maverick.”

I love how Kerry was immediately branded as a flip-flopper, but McCain somehow seems to be operating on a different plane of existence than the media. Liberal media, indeed.
