Hagel: McCain Facing Electoral Buzzsaw Over Iraq

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/0...t_n_94934.html

The Republican Party and its presumptive nominee Sen. John McCain are heading into a 2008 electoral buzzsaw with their continued support of the Iraq war, Sen. Chuck Hagel said in an interview with The Huffington Post on Thursday.

The country is still very sour on the war, the Nebraska Republican pressed, and support for candidates who want to stay the course is simply not there.

"I am concerned about the [party still holding on to Iraq as an issue]," said Hagel. "If for no other reason than the political factors here are quite obvious. This country has made a decision on Iraq, and as you see now in any poll, even a minimum of 25 percent of the registered Republicans cannot support the president's policy in Iraq. You take that with the independents and Democrats and you have anywhere between 60 and 70 percent who want out. So you can't politically sustain this and any party that uses this as an issue when they are going in the face of where America is, is not going to do very well politically. That is just the facts of life."

The way i see it "Janett_Reno", if you like middle east war and want to stay in Iraq, possibly go into Syria and Iran, McCain should be your man. Who cares about the economy and do not be fooled, why oil is over $100.00 a barrel is alot of Bush and Chains invading Iraq and staying. The job market, do not be fooled, read today.

If you care about the economy, borders and the American citizens protected, jobs, healtch care, oil and gas prices(and yes gas will start to come down as soon as Hillary or Obama is in and we start getting out of Iraq), the middle class, then you need to look at Obama and Hillary. In the end, i do not think the American people will choose 4 more years of the 7 we have had. Trickle down economics doesn't work as Bill Clinton showed us that and so did George W Bush. We was filthy rich with Clinton and broke under George W Bush.

It just don't trickle down, it stops somewhere along the way.
