McCain Tries Outdated Scare Tactics
2008-05-16 06:47:00 On Thursday, John McCain bought into the standard Republican national security scare tactic. This signals a new low for McCain which lowers the bar further in what was supposed to be a ?respectful campaign? from the ?straight talk express?. ?All I can say is: If Senator Obama wants to sit down across the table from the leader of a country that calls Israel a stinking corpse, and comes to New York and says they're gonna, quote, ?wipe Israel off the map,? what is it that he wants to talk about? What is it that he wants to talk about with him?? If it was John McCain he would likely tell them to cut out the ?B.S.? According to the Huffington Post, McCain said in 2006, "One of the things I would do if I were President would be to sit the Shiites and the Sunnis down and say, 'Stop the b*&ls*i^.'" We all know that this is not the type of foreign policy that McCain would pursue towards Iran. While on the campaign trail McCain was so enthused about the idea of bombing ...

2008-02-02 23:59:00 Lifelong Republican Susan Eisenhower is endorsing democratic candidate Barack Obama for President. Eisenhower is the granddaughter of Dwight Eisenhower, the 34th U.S. President.

USS Eisenhower Deploys for Middle east
2006-10-11 07:15:02 Just came across that the USS Eisenhower was deployed for the middle east a few days ago. It is being said it will arrive in the middle east by October 21. Some are saying this could have to do with Iran. Other sources are saying that this ship is just replacing the USS Enterprise that is near Iraq. I guess we will never really know till the ship reaches the middle east. It will be interesting to see where the USS Enterprise goes from there. here are the related stories:Photos: Eisenhower deploys for seven monthsOverhauled carrier USS Eisenhower deploysThe ships will head to the Mediterranean Sea and eventually will relieve the Norfolk-based aircraft carrier U.S.S.
