Why is McCain acting like a Democrat?

Quote by: Technosoul That funding is not an agreement with Bush policy on Iraq, it is to help out our troops who have been put in harms way. Big difference.

No, there's not. Funding is the reason we can have war, at least in our state-capitalist system. Yank away funding and the war would have precious little choice but to dissipate.

Quote by: tivodan1116 Which makes him identical to every so-called "Republican" of the last half-century.

Is the Republican Party even Republican anymore?

Quote by: Technosoul And Ringo Starr was not really one of the Beatles. If he is not a Republican then let him agree with us to bring the troops home within a years time. Let him agree to that deadline. Let him agree to creating new jobs with alternative energy instead of downsizing the levels of polution allowed. Let him promote an affordable health care system. He is not a Republican in name only, he is playing the same beat on his drums, just playing it a little bit better then the last durmmer.

Just because he's a RINO doesn't mean he's a Democrat - not that Democrats have done anything to create new jobs with alternative energy or done any of these other things.

IT IS NOT THE ROLE OF THE PRESIDENT UNDER ARTICLE II OF THE CONSTITUTION TO CREATE JOBS OR DO ANY OF THESE OTHER DAMNED SOCIALIST PROGRAMS! The sooner you people get that through those thick skulls of yours the sooner you'll knock off this blame-the-Presidency-for-everything crap and start placing it where it belongs: Congress and the American people.

True, but life doesn't always conform to a strict reading of some arcane legal document.

And I hesitate to say these are "socialist programs." It's true the two parties
love government handouts, but they mostly prefer them to go to the rich (or the practically mythical "middle class").
