John McCain: Town Hall 08/20/08

John McCain
Townhall
Las Cruces, NM 08/20/08

TRANSCRIPT:
JOHN MCCAIN: But the fact is Russian aggression was overwhelming, brutal, looting, murder, killing, uh, and they still even though til this day even though they signed a cease fire agreement are not leaving. Why do we care? Course we always care about any country in the world where democracy and freedom may be strangled in the cradle. But we also care because of what happens in the region. The old Russian ambition predating the Soviet Union is to control that part of the world. It's not an accident that five Presidents of five countries -- Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia -- all came, all came to Tbilisi when that country was under attack. And they did it because they know that their country is going to be under pressure from the Russians as well and Ukraine especially. And why else do we are? There's a pipeline that goes through, goes through that, goes through Georgia which is literally is for all intensive purposes the only oil pipeline that doesn't go through Russia. You've seen the Russians use oil as a weapon, and the Czechs agreed with us to put some missile defense radars in their country -- the Russians cut back on their oil supplies. So, it's also to do with energy. It's got to do with energy as well and world markets...

Wednesday, August 20, 2008 Deployed Troops Donating 6:1 to Obama

This is a shocking figure. While figures among military personnel overall are more evenly spread, donations from troops stationed overseas at the time of their donation have given $60,642 to Barack Obama's campaign, compared to $10,665 for McCain.

Let me tell you something, McCain is a veteran when he was prisoner for 6 years in Vietcong. He is here to fight and nothing else. He already said that if it was up to his choice, he will keep American soldier for 100 years in Iraq.

Im sorry but McCain is sweetalking around to make people vote for him. There is nothing as Democracy or Freedom in that sake, US will always be in a war with McCain as chairman.

I mean seriously, I'm personaly more afraid of him then whole Russia.
