"John McCain has done more to hurt the Republican Party than any official I know of?-Tom Delay

I hope more will listen to Tom Delay? John McCain promises no change in the current direction we are going in. He has declared publicly that he will commit troops for the next 100 years in Iraq if needed, which justifies the fact that he is a war monger! How can we establish a democracy for cavemen, how can we instill logic in different languages? WE CANT! I am not sure anyone has told McCain that Viet Nam is over, stop ducking for Charley, you are free now. McCain the war cost tax payers a trillion dollars last year, that is not chump change, and it cost something more valuable than money! Something considered ourt most valuable resource, our children, our heroes, our military. We are heroes off to fight and die for the freedom of another country, not ours? We are free, let them find there founding fathers, and fight for their freedom. We earned it here, let them sort there own problems out. The war is breaking our economy, we simply can not afford the war. Bush came into the office with the country in recession, and now he will be leaving it, with the economy in the same way. McCain wants to continue the war, no matter how much it cost, and no matter how many heroes.  Even if it is your child or grandchild.

This is a must see! Tom Delay explains some of the many faults of McCain?

This video is called "The Cost of War"  

 

This is the message was not written by me, but written by the one who produced the included video. I do agree with the video and the message.  I am not some anti-war hippie either! I support our military! Many of my friends are in the military, and many of my family members as well.   This is NOT an anti-military video. The job of our military is to do everything that is asked of them, and they have, no questions asked. The job of our government officials is to use the military wisely for our safety and protection. And it is the job of us, the citizens, to always question and scrutinize the decisions of our leaders. Anyone who feels it is okay for a government to lie to its people or it is wrong for the people to question their government, does not understand or value democracy.

I have had friends and family who volunteered to serve in each of the last three wars. I am the proud son of a Marine who volunteered to serve in Vietnam. One of my best friends from high school is currently on tour in Iraq, and a member of my extended family just returned. My respect for all of them is immeasurable.

I am not some "anti-war liberal hippie" who thinks all war is wrong. Our military serves a vital purpose and there are wars that need to be fought. This one however is a mistake. This war is obviously not about 9-11 or terrorists because Iraq had nothing to do with either of those. This war is obviously not about removing WMDs from hostile leaders because we KNOW of many who actually have them yet we don't invade their countries. And this war is obviously not about freeing people from repressive leaders since again, there are many many more of those who we apparently have no intention of overthrowing by force.

If you think THIS war is justified, fine, that is your opinion and this is a free country. But calling a person unpatriotic for questioning their government's motives and tactics shows you don't value the freedoms and responsibilities that have made our nation great.




This war is estimated to cost 2.4 trillion dollars. How could the resources wasted on this war have been better used? Post your video response.

So what do you think about McCain? I think he is a war monger and promises no change in the horrible direction we are currently going in, the only change he offers is a different name pulling the strings, but that is my opinion. So what is yours? Can you leave a comment regarding your feelings about McCain, if so then thank you in advance?
