What ever happened to those "Freedom Fries" & other French hating cries from the rabid right?

maggie this goes with your video. US ad bashes McCain as 'hero of France'
Published: Friday March 21, 2008

A liberal American group Friday released an advertisement that rails on Republican White House nominee John McCain for backing a US Air Force decision to award a huge contract to Europe's Airbus.

"A message of thanks to John McCain from the French people," says the video ad, which is in French with English subtitles and was issued by the Campaign for America's Future, a self-described "progressive" think tank.

"John McCain, hero of France," reads a banner on the Arc de Triomphe in the opening scene, and later McCain is depicted as wearing a beret and a curly mustache.

"Thanks for helping the US military choose a French company, Airbus. Tens of thousands of jobs for the French and thousands fewer for Americans, ha, ha, ha!" it says.

"It's a great day for France. Long live John McCain and long live France."

The ad was issued the same day as a meeting between McCain and French President Nicolas Sarkozy in Paris.

McCain has been criticized by Democratic lawmakers for backing a legislative change in 2004 that allowed the deal to take place, and the liberal group cited press reports that said his aides had lobbied for EADS to win the deal.

On February 29, the contract to build up to 179 military refueling planes was awarded to Northrop Grumman Corporation and Airbus's parent company the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company (EADS), Boeing's arch-rival in commercial aircraft.

It was a stunning upset for Boeing, until now the sole supplier of air refueling planes to the US military.

Boeing earlier this month officially challenged the decision, a move that temporarily freezes the estimated 35-billion-dollar contract.

I think that McCain has to face up to the reality that he will never be able to sustain two terms. I question whether he would be able to take the strain of even one term.

IMO with all that is going on with the Democrats, the only way to attract the independents and undecideds is for him to pick a very strong V.P., with moderate leanings. He needs someone who can step into the job in 2012.

Since the Reverend Rod Parsley is not on McCains campaign staff, and since he doesnt speak for McCain, his comments about Islam are meaningless, nor do they mean anything.

Just like Obama's Rev. Wright, my answer is "so what".

Two terms? Like the old geezer has a chance at winning in November? History says no chance. The huge Democratic prmary turnout says no chance. Of course, you are probably one of those sheep who think the surge "has worked."

The only good I can see is that it will keep Obama the silver tongued snake oil salesman who I distrust out of the seat of power.
McCain IMO is the lesser of two evils.

Impossible? Look how far we have come!

Hell yeah ..... I can't wait

But of course I won't be here ........ neither will you

Re: What will you like most about the McCain Presidency?


I don't think McCain will be elected this fall.

It's crossed my beady-little-mind that he might only go one term - I mean, he's a man of action and purpose, obviously, not one to stick around when he could do some good elsewhere, and I wouldn't put it past him to be able to set things right in four years or less.

Either way, I see him as settling down this 'teach the other group a lesson' mentality that the Dems and Republican's have for each other, and ushering in a new era not unlike the Jacksonian. Heady, willful, probably with levels of personal and economic freedom and wellbeing pushing the limit of marginal returns relative to the communal good. Other countries won't like it, but they'll still have cheese to sniff and in the end they'll be better off too.

We've been in Japan for over 60 years now.

When do you think we've should've gotten out?

We've been in Korea for over 50 years now.

When do you think we should've gotten out?

We've been in Germany for over 60 years now.

When do you think we should've gotten out?

I am not saying that I agree that we should be in Iraq for 100 years; or that we should've necessarily been in Korea, Japan or Germany for as long as we have.

But I think some historical perspective is needed in this discussion of 'how long should we be in Iraq?'

You don't need historical perspective. Just try taking a stroll outside the green zone. That'll give you a quick lesson in how long you should be in Iraq.

You wouldn't like an immediate closure of Guantanamo Bay's "unlawful combatant" facilities?

You wouldn't like a reversal of the U.S. position on torture?

You wouldn't like a repudiation of the unilateralist tone of the Bush administration?

You wouldn't like an effort to get the U.S. party to a new global warming treaty?

I suspect you might, if you could get over yourself.

Noone is going to change what has happened in the last eight years in four, eight, or twelve years weather they are republican or democrat. Change isn't going to happen unless the political parties start trying to govern for all the people instead of the business community. Look where the big money in politics has come from. Clinton, Obama, or Mc cain and all of congress owe their elections to big business. Lots of luck on that change you are all looking forward too.

What a silly statement.

The man is not hovering before death's door.

Is it really necessary to produce a list of all of the keenly intelligent and highly effective men and women who have lived beyond their 80th birthday?

"The only way to attract the independents and undecideds..."

Nonsense.

So if we elect Obama and Hillary we can rest assured that they will remain alive for the next 8.5 years, and therefore who they pick as running mates is immaterial. Tell that to the ghosts of JFK, FDR, Garfield, McKinnley, Harrison, Taylor, Harding and Lincoln. That's about 20% of our presidents. No need to worry about who Obama or Clinton choose for VP.

What we really need to worry about is his making it to age 75, because at that point his life expectancy leaps to 85.

Charles DeGaulle, Winston Churchill and Golda Mier all served their countries with distinction well beyond their 70th birthdays - and that was back in the day when 70 was damned old!

Geez, I though agism was running fairly close behind racism, sexism, sexual orientationism, but I guess not.

Don't take your eye off the ball, folks. His age is, of course, no concern. The fact that he's a pandering, two faced, seriously confused individual is of great importance.

Given these attributes, he'll likely have no problem adapting to the Republican proclivity for mendacious behavior.

Neither the USA nor the world can afford another debacle like the one of the last 8 years.
