Though I can't recall anyone ever refusing to sell us oil - the boycotts have come from our side.
You don't recall the gasoline lines of the 70s?
Not that I think that that will happen again anytime soon, if ever.
I'm glad that que is expressing his perspective here; there are far too few people willing to cross over to a thread where they are a minority. He is saying exactly what McCain and his supporters will say throughout the next year, though, especially if McCain is the nominee. Whether or not voters will buy it (I certainly don't, and this thread apparently doesn't either, but PfP people surely will, whatever their distaste for McCain, unless they are far more cynical and self-serving than I think they are), I don't really know. If the "good news" from Iraq keeps coming, if they kill Osama or Zawahiri, who knows--anything is possible, even McCain as president. However idiotic his arguments are, and however nuts the guy is.
Does anyone besides me find calling McCain a "hero" because he was a POW absurd? Perhaps you can call him a hero for being there at all and facing the many dangers that Vietnam posed, but for being captured? So bizarre.... If a Democrat had been a POW, I don't think that that appellation would apply. |
