BTW-he isn't the only Viet Nam veteran who suffered (and still suffer) from that experience-and evidently too stupid to realize we are commiting the same type of blunder all over again.</description></item><item><title>McCain: The Bush 'tightrope'</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/24/800341.aspx#800402</link><pubDate>Mon, 24 Mar 2008 13:56:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:800402</guid><dc:creator>jerry/corpus christi texas</dc:creator><description>This is easy for John McCain...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just sit back and let Obama and The Clinton's destroy each other and the democratic party....&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then get the loser's people of that fight to come on over and vote for him in the general election.....</description></item><item><title>McCain: The Bush 'tightrope'</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/24/800341.aspx#800409</link><pubDate>Mon, 24 Mar 2008 13:57:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:800409</guid><dc:creator>nuanced</dc:creator><description>any Republicans want to talk about their candidate's good points instead of dirty tricks comments on the Democratic contenders?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;lt;crickets&amp;gt;</description></item><item><title>McCain: The Bush 'tightrope'</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/24/800341.aspx#800456</link><pubDate>Mon, 24 Mar 2008 14:08:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:800456</guid><dc:creator>Diane from Illinois</dc:creator><description>How come all of these McWar supporters on these blogs aren't supporting their candidate financially like the Obama supporters? How come McWar can't raise money? Maybe because they secretly know that he doesn't have a chance to win becuase he's too tied to the current numb-nut.
