Raving Republican Lunacy
Congrats to you, John McCain. By attempting to play the fear card in an election year, you’ve officially become a GOP-SOB.
This ‘other extremist group’… could that be the American far-right / neocon fringe you’re speaking of?
Why would Al Qaeda even need to raise a finger when they have all you conservatives doing the work for them?
McCain says al Qaeda might try to tip U.S. election
SPRINGFIELD, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain said on Friday he fears that al Qaeda or another extremist group might attempt spectacular attacks in Iraq to try to tilt the U.S. election against him.
McCain, at a town hall meeting in this Philadelphia suburb, was asked if he had concerns that anti-American militants in Iraq might ratchet up their activities in Iraq to try to increase casualties in September or October and tip the November election against him.
“Yes, I worry about it,” McCain said. “And I know they pay attention because of the intercepts we have of their communications … The hardest thing in warfare is to counter someone or a group of individuals who are willing to take their own lives in order to take others.”
But on this, he’s correct:
At his campaign event and subsequent news conference, McCain also criticized U.S. Senate Republicans for not joining him and 28 other senators in a one-year moratorium on controversial spending projects, known as earmarks that benefit specific cities or towns and that McCain considers wasteful.
The Arizona senator said it showed that his fellow Republicans were “not responding to the will of the people.“
