Last night John McCain stuck to his lying ways when he continued to state that Mitt Romney was for timetables for withdrawal of troops from Iraq. We all know that this is not the case. The main stream media loves a good fight especially between Republicans, but enough is enough. McCain has twisted Romney’s words around and its obvious. What Romney said was that he supported President Bush’s decision to have private benchmarks with Iraqi leaders. This is also obvious because we do not need our benchmarks leaked to the press so that the terrorists can exploit a weakness. John McCain should know better. After all, isn’t he the war hero? McCain also stated that Romney did not make a decision backing the troop surge while Romney was the governor of Massachusetts. Romney certainly did not have access to the classified material that McCain did, nor was he briefed in full about the surge. But after the surge was announced last January, Romney, did in fact, back the plan. McCain should know better.

McCain certainly knows what he’s talking about on Iraq, after all this is his job. But on ‘water-boarding’ I think he is way off base. “Torture never works” he says. I understand that McCain was a POW and no doubt tortured by the NVA, but we must remember that ‘water-boarding’ is in no where near the treatment he received and he knows well that our prisoners in Gitmo are treated extremely well. McCain knows that water-boarding works. It has been proven to work and has saved thousands of American lives. If these wacko Islamic fundamentalists need to be submerged for a 30 seconds to give up their terrorist plots, I am all for it. John McCain: you should be too. McCain should know better.

In Wednesday night’s debate, McCain took a cheap shot at Romney by stating that when Romney helped turn around those companies he helped that he didn’t care about the worker who lost his job. This is certainly not the case. McCain doesn’t know much about business or how in order to make money you need to cut some corners. If a business is failing, you have to let some people go, and many times you don’t want to do that, but that’s business. They are certainly compensated. But for someone who has had the same non-business job for 25 years, I wouldn’t expect him to understand how any business works. He certainly understands how Washington works. Romney understands how Washington doesn’t work and must be fixed. Maybe some Senators and Congressmen should lose their jobs.

In reality, all this bickering is bad for the Republican party. These two men are taking shots at each other instead of debating the issues. This is something that can be taken advantage of by the Democrats if they so choose. For that, both McCain and Romney should know better.
