This guy was tortured and denied medical care in way that has affected him every day since. I just got back from Iraq 4 months ago. I had a good buddy over there with me. One time we happened to talk about what we would do if our position ever happened to be (unlikely) overrun. We both said we would save a last round/grenade for ourselves rather than be tortured to death on video by the Taliban. So, I am not for reading them their rights but seriously has anyone in here ever been subjected to what they even allow like having your arms wrenched up behind you? It sucks. We need to kill those we can but treat those we catch as well as we treat child murderers here in the states ok? The solution is that we should take fewer prisoners, just like the British general in WW2 who told his troops he didn’t “want to see any SS prisoners”. We in the U.S. need to go the pharmacological route rather than the 12th century. It’s been 50 years since sodium pentothal I am sure we can do better.

Though, the distinction I’ve drawn between you in the past re Palin is that you at least have reasons for your loathing of her, even if I disagree with your reasons.

“If you want to throw cold water on people’s enthusiasm for a challenger to McCain, I guess that’s your prerogative; but do you have to go down the road of name-calling? These people aren’t trolls. They’re members in good standing who are posting their heartfelt opinions in good faith. Disagree if you must. Challenge their arguments if you must; but you don’t have to insult them.”

I would suggest that every time someone is taken to the wood shed for posting something positive about Hayworth, those donating to his campaign should add another $5 to that donation.

I am replying to AceInTx’s “huh?? nt” comment to my comment to, if my memory serves me, blackconservative’s comment to mine in this Diary that money spent by McCain on defeating J.D. Hayworth is money McCain won’t be able to spend supporting other squishy Republicans around the county.

I hit the Reply To This button when making that comment and hit it again when, now, replying to AceInTx’s comment. I don’t know where this comment will end up. I hope it ends up after Ace’s, but who knows? Sometimes, I find, the Reply To This feature simply does not work. I don’t know why. Maybe it doesn’t work in the case where, when you hit it, someone else has already hit the button and posted while you are still drafting. Who knows why? All I know is this feature some times does not work. And I find the snarky “Reply To This is your friend comments,” as a result, ironically amusing.

Also, the Recommend button has never worked for me. I use Firefox, on a Windows XP machine, and I always have to double-click on the Recommend button two or three times to get the button to “take.” Occasionally, the Recommend button will not work at all for me.

In the future I will strive to give more context to my comments so that people are not mystified when the Reply To This feature does not work. I hope this comment displays after AceInTx’s comment.

Thank you.

Also, I suggest you read MBecker’s reasons why throwing money at JD is a waste of money. The “Tea Party Movement”* (or any other group) has a finite amount of resources. Don’t waste them where they will do no good. Find a race that CAN be won, then put your resources into THAT race.

I’m not a huge McCain fan, but I can understand simple economics.

Finally, McCain’s not a RINO. Media whore, yes. RINO no.

*Tea Party Movement is either a local group or a misconception. There is no one group that can claim to be “the movement”. There are many groups that make up the movement and a lot of people who don’t belong to ANY group but are just sick of government waste, corruption and ever increasing taxes.

This kind of thinking is whart is wrong with the Republican Party and the reason the Tea Party Movement will run the show. We do not need any more RHINOs in the Republican Party and he is one of the worst. I am from Tennessee and will be donating and supporting JD until he is elected. Sarah will not have much effect on this election. Mccain is against her pet project and the best interest for our nation, drilling in ANWR. I ask the TEA PARTY MOVEMENT TO GET WHOLE HEARTLY BEHIND JD. This is not against you, zbigreddogz. I hope you change your mind.
