Default There will be other wars

I wonder why this McCain quote isn't getting more play.

Quote:
Sen. John McCain told a crowd of supporters on Sunday, "It's a tough war we're in. It's not going to be over right away. There's going to be other wars." Offering more of his increasingly bleak "straight talk," he repeated the claim: "I'm sorry to tell you, there's going to be other wars. We will never surrender but there will be other wars."

We'll surrender if a Dem is in the White House.

It looks like McCain's new strategy is to scare old people into voting for him.

Is this more ignoble than nativist rants against "them Mexican immigrants," pandering to nut jobs?

Who is that, Romney? Or just someone that does that?

McCain seems like a one-trick pony. Right now he's doing the same trick over and over again.

It's over. Time for you to get behind the presumptive nominee: McCain.

And play on patriotism and support for the troops. I don't get the concept that warhawking is showing love for our troops. "how dare you tell the soldiers that are giving their blood for this country that we want them to come home."

You've said that before. You're one of those false prophets against whom I've been warned.
