John McCain is an idiot

He lost the "straight talk" and maverick reputation a long time ago. Earlier this week, when the Washington Post revealed that McCain was seeking out the same $$$ he had once so stridently opposed with his campaign finance reform legislation, he lost perhaps the last thread of credibility he had. However, where McCain has most greatly failed his country is in the realm of Iraq. As John Madden would say, "now here's a guy who looks lost out there." In the midst of one of the worst blunders in American foreign policy history, McCain has actually out-Bushed Bush! Yes, he was calling for an escalation before Bush had even taken off his flight suit.

So now, Presidential-wannabe McCain makes the following statement about his concerns for Iraq:

"By the way, a lot of us are also very concerned about the possibility of a, quote, 'Tet Offensive.' You know, some large-scale tact that could then switch American public opinion the way that the Tet Offensive did," the Arizona senator said.

Yeah, you read that right. McCain is worried that a series of large, coordinated insurgent attacks will "switch American public opinion" against the war. Guess his presidential campaign is cutting into his time to talk with real Americans, because he doesn't seem to have a clue what they are thinking.

Reality check: over 2/3 of Americans are against the war. 70 percent oppose adding more troops.

John McCain, you are an idiot, you have no credibility, and you can count on 2/3 of Americans voting against you and your war.
