John McCain continues his work on "gaffe factory". It never stops. It's almost like the Democrats could just sit back, let him bury himself in his own words. Speaking with Matt Lauer on ABC's The Today Show, Lauer expressed that many people are seeing the "surge is working". He went on to ask, "do you have a better estimate of when American forces can come home from Iraq?" Senator McCain replied "No, but that's not too important". Not too important? What?! Our brave men and women have been in harms way for 5 1/2 years, and it's not too important to get them home? I should explain this to the families and friends who have loved ones there. Senators Harry Reid, and John Kerry lambasted their colleague for his comments. "just doesn’t get the consequences of a continued occupation" Mr. Reid said in a statement. Senator Kerry shared his feelings as well "It is unbelievably out of touch and inconsistent with the needs and concerns of Americans, in particularly the families of the troops who are over there,” he said. “To them, it’s the most important thing in the world when they come home. And it’s the most important thing in the world that we have a Commander in Chief who understands how you can bring them home.”
John McCain's insistence on extending President Bush's failed policies should certainly make it hard for even Republicans to vote for him. Having friends who have served, and knowing the strain it put on their families, I would think most of the voters in our country do find it important. John McCain...proving one sentence at a time he has no clue what's on the minds of the American people.
