'Would you set a date for leaving?' 'I think there should be unpublished guidelines so we can track progress, but I'd never announce a timetable for leaving because if we did the terrorists would just wait for that date and then resurge' 'See! See! He intends to leave'. What the heck? As opposed to staying FOREVER? Having 'milestones' just means you care whether things are getting done, it has nothing to do with 'we'd leave by suchandsuch a date'. Surprised to be sympathetic for Romney here.
It's obvious that a) Romney never supported timetables for withdraw b) McCain lied about Romney's position and c) that McCain waited until 3 days before the FL GOP primary to gain an unfair advantage with Florida's military voters - shameful.. We should not forget it was Charlie Crist who supported McCain's sucker punch of Romney 3 DAYS before Florida primary.
"April was a very interesting year in 2007." This statement occurs at 3:14. I have never experienced the year April, but I'm sure it is a VERY interesting year! McCain trying to debate Romney is like a cow trying to argue with his farmer. Funny thing is, the cow won the nomination. I hope Republicans don't send a cow to debate an incumbent in 2012!
wow, it was clear Mitt Romney didn't support a time-table. Even in the quote that McCain used to try to prove that he did, showed that Romney didn't support it. So, even with everyone knowing McCain's tactic & view was completely wrong, he still stubbornly continued defending that lie. It's one thing to be direct & forceful in your approach to an idea, but when that idea is wholly wrong it becomes dangerous. And he's the best possible commander in chief?
Funny how the media is talking about how nasty the democratic primary got and everyone has forgotten about these moments. Obama and Hillary never got into this kind of shouting match in a debate. In this nation, reality is truly what the media tell us it is and nothing more. Romney called McCain a liar to his face and McCain attacked Romney, ironically enough, for being to young and inexperienced. Anyone in the media ask Romney how he can support McCain now? Of course not. Idiotic country.
Of course the same argument can be made about Hillary supporting Obama after their bitterness. See the debate where Obama referred to Hillary's time sitting on the board at Walmart and she fired back with his "pal" Tony Rezko. That was very heated, but she has just endorsed him.
Now McCain is talking about making 2013 the timetable to leave. That baboon costs the United States the best presidential option out there! Mitt Romney was the best man for the job and hopefully Americans see the truth for 2012!
@dnlchisholm -- ROMNEY'S 2012 PLAN CUTS MEDICARE--Ron Paul’s plan cuts $1 trillion the first year & balances the budget in 3 years. The plan cuts spending by ending the costly foreign wars, and cuts foreign welfare, corporate welfare, and overgrown federal bureaucracy. These cuts are made so that those who are dependent on domestic spending programs such as Medicare aren’t endangered through a sudden change in benefits. Romney’s plan cuts Medicare, on which many elderly Americans rely.
Romney looks great in debates against other Republicans following an unpopular Bush administration. What's Romney gonna look like if he's debating incumbent President Obama? Barack's gonna have to really screw something up if the Repubs are hoping for Pres Romney in '12.
Are you one of those people who think the way a person looks or talks is what makes him a good president? There is nothing unrealistic about Ron Paul, he has actual solutions.
No, we don't like crazy racists who think the gold standard is economically viable, intelligence is totally cool, the lack of intelligence might have had something to do with it though.
now that mccain will get the nomination, i feel a democrat will win office. lets hope in 4 years romney runs for the nomination again and republicans will get their act togeather and nominate him so we can get a republican back in office.
If McCain can't figure out that Romney doesn't advocate a timetable for withdrawal, how will he ever figure out what military commanders are telling him?
John McCain thinks its his turn to be President,and he will try to chop anyone off at the knees who challenges him. Later in the debate the question was asked, "Why would Ronald Reagan endorse you?"
All the candidates but McCain laid out their beliefs, and why President Reagan would have agreed with them.
McCain takes another swipe at Romney instead! My choice was Huckaby, but if McCain wins, I will be voting Democrat. I voted for Reagan both times and I know he is spinning in his grave.
Every Republican should see this video before we go to the polls for super Tuesday. John McCain is being dishonest and should at all costs not be allowed to run this great nation. He will say or do anything to win
John McCain pitches his "STRAIGHT TALK" but the video tapes repeated prove him to be a liar. Go to "bravenewfilms(dot)org" and type "McCain" in the "search" box. Judge for yourself...in HIS OWN WORDS.
Do the same with "Romney."
We already have 2 liars in the White House, do we need another one? This is the reason why I support Hillary.
Today Feb. 02, 2008 ... Big Corporation EXXON who benefits since 2002 of million$ of dollar$ from the BUSH's Tax Cut - (a TAX CUT Exxon absolutely never needed) ... announces that they even surpassed last year huge record profit. Their profit so far for 2008 is $40.6 BILLIONS!!
While Americans can hardly pay their heating oil, or the price at the pump. This Tax Cut was approved by the REPUBLICAN CONGRESS.
Who in his right mind would even want to vote Republican??
Someone with a few hours on their hands could take material from Drudge 1/21 article and photo about what good friends Hillary and McCain are, and create a good YouTube video commercial independently showing that it makes no sense to have McCain running against Hillary when they are better suited to be running mates! Any takers?
I've never heard McCain say anything worthwhile or intelligent. And I've been looking. Everytime he goes into a debate he either contradicts himself or doesn't actually have an answer.
ya'll should of seen the aftershow debate, the corporate media was trying to say this was the highlight of the debate and made Zero reference to Ron Paul. what a joke, the mainstream media is just a tool for the Establishment to push for who they think should be president. it's so staged
huckabee and ron paul got snubbed. anderson"the mole" vanderbuilt-cooper is not a real journalist. oh, and romney is a tool. he cant stand the heat in the kitchen he set on fire.
And they call this a debate. Two guys discussing what one meant when he used the word timetable. Wow, important issue, especially since they both want to stay in Irak, they both voted for the war. And they only had time for 5 questions for Ron Paul? It's not over yet. Vote Ron Paul
McCain equated Romney's position with the Hillary/Democrat position, which was to set a specific date for withdrawal without success. This is a mis characterization of Romney's position.
Romney mentioned private timetables for "milestones and benchmarks" (steps that would lead up to a stable Iraqi government). You need to set goals and put pressure on the Iraqi leadership, otherwise, we are just in Iraq as a permanent occupation with no plans for progress or completing the mission.
The fix is in - MCCAIN vs. CLINTON. Either outcome supports the financial elites...and the corporate media will make it happen. Welcome to the New World Order.
