Topic: Intellectual Honesty

Do the Leftist stooges all over the TV who talk about John McCain’s “plan to keep the Iraq war going for 100 years” know that they’re being completely disingenuous (read: lying through their teeth) or are they just blindly regurgitating the Democrat talking points?

TICKS ME OFF!

It aggravates me when Democrat surrogates refer to McCain’s 100 year Iraq strategy, but even worse are the journalists who allow it to go unchecked. These operatives, and their media enablers know that a good portion of the electorate are uninformed and/or barely paying attention. They hope to shift public opinion by dishonestly leading these people to believe that John McCain plans on fighting a full scale war in Iraq for the next 100 years.

McCain, of course, was talking about some level of troops remaining in Iraq – long after the fighting has stopped. It is in our strategic interest to have a base in Iraq, just as we have bases in Germany, Japan and South Korea 30-60 years after the fight stopped in those wars.

Moral of the story: Democrats will lie and deceive if it suits their purposes.
