 2 Camps Trying to Influence McCain on Foreign Policy
2 Camps Trying to Influence McCain on Foreign Policy
One component of the fractious Republican Party foreign policy establishment — the so-called pragmatists, some of whom have come to view the Iraq war or its execution as a mistake — is expressing concern that Mr. McCain might be coming under increased influence from a competing camp, the neoconservatives. picked by JDRucker 7 months ago

 McCain vs McCain - His Schizophrenic Foreign Policy
McCain vs McCain - His Schizophrenic Foreign Policy
With all the attention on the dueling democrats, the media is ignoring John McCain. Few are paying attention to what he is saying, or subjecting it to any serious scrutiny.

He recently called to expel Russia from the G8. He suggested expanding it to include Brazil & India, but not China.

Insulting Russia & China may not be the smartest political move. picked by 2manyusernames 7 months ago

 McCain opposed Bush Iraq policy in '03; why didn't he try to unseat him in '04?
McCain opposed Bush Iraq policy in '03; why didn't he try to unseat him in '04?
The McCain-Palin ticket has been making much of the fact that the Arizona senator wanted more troops in Iraq as early as 2003. Yet he supported Bush for re-election, wrong-headed Iraq policy and all. He could have done the truly "maverick" thing and tried to unseat Bush so as to improve the execution of the war. He put the interests of the Republican Party over the good of his country. picked by artsaken 2 months ago

If Iraqis Could Vote It Would Be For McCain
The personal qualities and political platforms of McCain and his Democrat rival Barack Obama are of little import to Ali, however. His focus is on Iraq and its neighbours such as Iran.

"The Iranians believe that if Obama is elected he will not take action against them despite their nuclear ambitions. That worries me," said Ali... picked by ImNotBlue 3 weeks ago

Unlike McCain, many seniors depend on the Web
If Sen. John McCain is really serious about becoming a Web-savvy citizen, perhaps Kathryn Robinson can help. Robinson is now 106 — that's 35 years older than McCain — and she began using the Internet at 98, at the Barclay Friends home in West Chester, Pa., where she lives.
