Default John McCain is wrong on Iraq, wrong on the economy

At least we hear something with out bother-some change.

Dem Chairman Speaks | Topeka

Dem Chairman Speaks
Submitted by politicalWinters on Wed, 04/09/2008 - 6:45am. Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean says - naturally - that Republican frontrunner John McCain "isn't a strong candidate."

Quote: "Look, John McCain is wrong on Iraq, wrong on the economy and wrong on health care. Those are the three biggest issues that the American people are voting on. At least he's wrong compared to what they believe should happen. And so he is not a strong candidate.

There's lots of other quotes and issues, including what to do about Florida and Michigan delegates, the campaign and the two Democratic frontrunners.

As to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, Dean - again naturally - says "Either of these candidates would be terrific."

As the head of the DNC, Dean is duty bound to say that. While I agree with his assessment, I put more stock in a non-partisan opinion. I just wish those on the right would do the same.

I agree he was duty bound and correct on all three. But so also is the DNC. They both have a boss and we are not it. lol And people still think there will be a lot of change. Been there done that before to many times. The root cause needs to be changed forst and each of us need be involved in our Republic.

I don't think hes wrong on the economy I think he doesn't know anything about the economy. He even admits the economy is his weak spot.

Personally, I don't hate the guy not like Bush but I think he would be a disaster for this nation.

I wouldn't pay attention to anything Howard Dean says. He can't even control the Obama-Clinton bickering.

McCain is absolutely wrong about Iraq and voting for him is most likely a guarantee for four more years of the Iraqi quagmire. I do no support putting Iraq on American welfare for four more years while they bicker over their differences.

McCain is strong against pork and waste. However, the larger picture is out of control spending. McCain supports a bloated military budget. I don't. I think the entire budget process for the Pentagon and DOD needs to come under attack. They want you to believe we need to spend to make America strong militarily when in fact when you look at expenditures it is all about those billion dollar contracts going to the military industrial complex for budget or unneeded items.

The problem is the mindset that makes people think blindly throwing money at something makes it better. Somehow, people equate being against $600 toilet seats is being anti-military or "soft" on defense.

Actually by most accounts this has been a rather mild primary fight. Stands to reason you would attempt to make it something its not.
