John mcshame
That crazy coot knows how to push my buttons, and having seen Political Capital, with Al Hunt, he's still doing it.
McShame was on this programme for eight minutes, every one of those four hundred and eighty seconds was a masterclass in denial and delusion.
When i keep hearing this fool, who wont leave any of us in peace, and keeps on lying, i wish he would quit politics.
I heard all the lies in 08 from him, and he is repeating them in 09;
AFGHANISTAN:
Mcshame failed to mention the ongoing war in Afghanistan when campaigning in 08, even though has been raging since Oct 01. McShame is keen to send more troops to Afghanistan, and prepared to stay " the course " for years to come. Why hasn't he been asking that important question, after seven years and five months, why are American forces still fighting in Afghanistan. Is it really acceptable for McShame that after seven years of combat, troops are still fighting, does he know the reason why?
IRAQ:
Reworking the line " Peace with Honor " McShame has declared victory in iraq, that is why it is okay for troops to leave Iraq. Really John.
It breaks my heart to see Veterans, who have lost comrades in action, state they need to see a victory to justify such a tragic loss.
I know for a fact the troops didn't lose Iraq, how could they, when they didnt have the right equipment, body armor or tactics. If there is blame, it is fixed squarely at Bush and Cheney, they wanted this war, no one else. When they find those weapons of masss destruction, McShame can declare a win.
ECONOMY:
Mcshame was telling people in 08, the the fundamentals of the economy, where strong, and that Bill Clinton's economic success was " Unstainable ". Yes, people, paying down the debt, creating surpluses and record employment, are bridges too far, for the conservative movement.
McShame promised to balance the budget in four years, but he will not allow defense spending to be cut, while he is in the Senate. He moans about the lack of bi-partisanship, but his stimulus bill was tax cuts and increased spending on equipment for Iraq & Afghanistan, is that they way forward to get Deomcrats on board?
