View Photo »Then it makes no sense for (Obama) to have announced the date.
The letter he wrote to Attorney General Mukasey that called for prosecutions of President Bush, McCain and their campaigns for simply raising the issue of voter fraud
Those are two incompatible statements. You either have a winning strategy and do as we did in Iraq, and then once it's succeeded then we withdraw ... Or we - as the president said - we will have a date beginning withdrawal of July 2011. Which is it? It's got to be one or the other. It's got to be the ap...
I request Special Prosecutor Dannehy’s inquiry include a review of any involvement by Justice Department and White House officials in supporting the McCain-Palin campaign and the Republican National Committee’s systematic development and dissemination of unsupported, spurious allegations of vote fraud
President Obama has made the right decision ... I support the president's decision, and it deserves the support of all Americans, both Democrats and Republicans.
For years, I have called for more resources and more troops to finish the fight in Afghanistan. With his overwhelming focus on Iraq, Senator McCain argued that we could just 'muddle through' in Afghanistan, and only came around to supporting my call for more troops last month. Now, we need a policy of '...
I regret that the senator from Illinois did not observe the courtesies of the Senate, particularly when a person's name is mentioned as he continued to mention my name and totally falsify my position
John McCain, Sarah Palin's former running mate, read the Sarah Palin memoir. After 23 years of military service, five years as a prisoner of war, 22 years as a U.S. senator, I'm sure that John found Sarah's story very inspirational.
Americans need to know ... that things in Afghanistan will get worse before they get better — that, unfortunately, casualties will likely rise in the year to come — but that ultimately we will succeed.
You have contacted me with words of encouragement following the release of a Rasmussen Reports Poll which finds me in a statistical dead heat with John McCain for the Republican nomination for the United States Senate in 2010
A date for withdrawal sends exactly the wrong message to both our friends and our enemies — in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the entire region — all of whom currently doubt whether America is committed to winning this war
I guess it's illegal to bet on the outcome of elections, but I'll just predict that John McCain will have another six years representing the people of the state of Arizona in the U.S. Senate after the next election
I have concerns about the civil side, within the embassy in Kabul. As you know the ambassador from there sent cables that were leaked that opposed the additional surge in Afghanistan
Against a backdrop of growing economic pain in suburbia, Barack Obama has surged past John McCain among suburban ‘swing’ voters who usually decide national elections
I have concerns about the civil side, within the embassy in Kabul. As you know the ambassador from there sent cables that were leaked that opposed the additional surge in Afghanistan
He also has made campaign contributions to candidates in both parties, including giving to President Barack Obama’s campaign after he had contributed to the presidential campaigns of Republicans Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney and John McCain, the GOP nominee who lost to Obama.
The President has made the right decision to embrace a counterinsurgency strategy for Afghanistan and to resource it properly
The new Rasmussen poll for the 2010 Arizona GOP Primary—John McCain 45%, J. D. Hayworth 43%
modeled on the surge in Iraq
Gee, what did the Obama administration do to piss off John McCain?
Hamid Karzai knows very well that if U.S. troops leave he will be leaving shortly thereafter or find himself probably assassinated
Palin is blurring the lines between Obama's stimulus plan ⌠and the federal bailout that Republican presidential candidate John McCain voted for and President George W. Bush signed.
The exit strategy should be dictated by conditions on the ground ... Clearly we need benchmarks, and those should be adhered to. But to announce a date for leaving is of great concern to me, but it may convey the impression that we're only going to be there for a short time, and the Taliban could just w...
Searches for Sarah Palin have surged to their highest level since the election -- even further than when she resigned as Governor of Alaska ... While search interest now still pales in comparison with when she was announced as John McCain's pick for VP, at the moment she's all the rage--and right now pe...
