Messenger: What makes this woman think she can speak among men?

Queen Gorgo: Because only Spartan women give birth to real men.

Terrific! And, really, that 100 year remark has been so ridiculously mischaracterized!! I like Commenter Tony’s suggestion, too. Z

I’m somewhat surprised regarding all the media hubbub over little ‘Alex’. It’s pretty early in the year for this ad to really inflict any long-term damage, more women are already strongly opposed to the war in Iraq (especially young ones), practically speaking Iraq is a non sequitur for many lives in the US ( as the MSM barely covers it), and the ads’ target group are unlikely to even vote.

Not this woman

Ania Egland responds to ad attacking Sen. McCain

“Hi… I’m Alex. My mom tried to indoctrinate me with her liberal pap, but as you can see, I somehow learned the concepts of honor and duty. I consider myself blessed to be able to serve the greatest country on earth. God bless America”.

I see your point but what gets me riled up about it I suppose is that…. well it’s dishonest and a forerunner of what I know will be so many just like it.

These people constantly lie and try to mislead the public, so many which will not think about it and buy into it.

Notice how no one else responded to your rubbish? Part of the reason has to do with your dishonest way of responding to other commenter’s arguments…you just dismiss people, call them names, and then hope you’ve won the argument.

You’re just a miserable troll, you hate without warrant and you want everyone else to be as miserable as you. No way…there is far to much to celebrate in this great country, and our military enjoy nearly unanimous approval ratings, next to the abysmal ratings that your Dems enjoy in congress.

Actually this can work, the problem is that it leads to further demands for oreos and milk, and then deliberate bad behavior to get even more oreo and milk offers…

I think both made some good points. Andy doesn’t even bring up Kristol’s argument of our all-volunteer military, nor does he mention Alex will only be 9 by the time when McCain leaves office.

Andy’s right about there being on contempt for the military found in the ad; certainly there is contempt found for McCain.

In the end, the ad. is an artful dodge, a deceptive deployment— just what you want in this political climate!

I’ll be interested if the state polls show any change in these swing states.

DW, what did you do to fight crime? Put out any house fires lately? There are plenty of dangerous jobs out there that none of us will ever have to do, but that doesn’t mean we can’t speak of the importance of them…this argument, “duh, did you fight in Iraq yet?,” is so foolish that it belies the leftism that triggers it.

Oopsies! Richard, you’re looking at the wrong page of the Wingnut Talking Points Memo. The response you gave was the one that was supposed to follow my saying, “If you like the war so much, why aren’t you in Iraq right now?” A cursory examination of my post will reveal that I did not write that. If you’re going to froth at the mouth, at least make sense at it.

Mike lashed out at elitist non-serving parasites; I simply pointed out that he, himself, is an elitist non-serving parasite. He is, in fact, the worst kind of elitist non-serving parasite: a self-loathing elitist non-serving parasite.

I didn’t lash out at cops or firemen or people who chose not to become cops or firemen. Your post is asinine. Get it right next time.

Wish I had a decent video camera. MAN! I’d have one with my 6yr old daughter arguing with me/refusing to pickup her toys in the backyard. Then I’d ask Barack if he thinks that…well, maybe if I made her sit down and talked to her in a more charismatic and civil way THEN she’d pickup her toys. Or maybe if I offered her oreos and milk with ice cream sprinkles THEN she’d do it. Or OR OR (!) maybe if I just offered to give her more toys THEN she’d pickup the ones in the backyard? Guarantee it still wouldn’t happen. That kid’s got diplomatic rhetoric skills that make John Bolton look like a pussy cat. More often than not…it doesn’t take a village-it takes a threat.
“Katy, if you don’t put away your bike, your scooter, your chalk, the bubble machine, and all those balls, then I’m gonna throw them away.”
Oddly enough, that seems to work. Yeah, there’s the obligatory whining, crying, and general throwing of a fit, but it still works when bribes fail.

Might be time to get a video camera and ask Barack if he wants to send my son to Pakistan, or send him back into Iraq if it collapses because of a premature evacuation on MoveOn.org…’s orders, or what he’ll do if talking, bribing, appeasing, Iran fails.

Interesting. Ya know, Pres Bush only invaded Afghanistan and Iraq in 8yrs. Could Barack actually turn out to be more of a warmonger by re-invading Iraq, invading Pakistan, and going to war with Iran? Food for thought (time for more coffee )

Ultimately we have done a great thing… and it will prove to be in the best interest of the United States and honor those who gave all..

When you go to the YouTube video, do you see in the side where it has the embed code? Just cut and paste that here. It should show up.
