Celebrating Victories, McCain Mocks Obama
ALEXANDRIA, Va.—John McCain just rounded off his victory speech here by cheekily appropriating one of Barack Obama's signature lines.
"I promise you I am fired up and ready to go," he told a cheering crowd.
The Arizona senator's speech seemed to target Obama more than Clinton, in yet another sign of the shifting dynamics of the Democratic race.
At one point he suggested that Obama's candidacy offered "not a promise of hope but a platitude."
And in an implicit jab at the cockiness which some of Obama's critics believe he can be guilty of, McCain also said, "I do not seek the presidency on the presumption ... that history has anointed me to save my country in an hour of need. My country saved me. I'm running to serve America.”
McCain also included Hillary Clinton in his criticism, saying of both main Democratic candidates, "We know where each ... will lead this country and we dare not let them."
In the end, McCain won all three of today's primaries comfortably. He congratulated Mike Huckabee on his performance, saying with a smile that the former Arkansas governor's candidacy "keeps things interesting—maybe a little too interesting at times tonight."
But this evening's event, held in the ballroom of a Holiday Inn, did see one potential blow to McCain's ego.
As a line of dignitaries including former Senator George Allen and John Warner lined up onstage and music pumped out in anticipation of McCain's entrance, it became apparent that CNN had just begun to cover Obama's speech in Madison, Wisconsin.
McCain was forced to cool his heels for 20 minutes until the Illinois senator's speech began to wind down.

Republican MOCKERY is rich after the last 8 years. The Clintons MOCKED Barack for mos. and you see where THAT got them. Bring it on! Shut down the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, war profiteers and careers -- and all its surrogates, including old war heroes who define life's meaning by "100 years of WAR."
I did not see it as a mock at all. It gave me a good laugh and it was nice to see McCain show a little life for the first time. It also shows Obama is the man to beat and that is soooooo satisfying for a 50/50 like me to see!
[“There were 14.6 million Democrats who thought the presidential nomination was worth voting for, and there were 8.3 million Republicans on Super Tuesday,” Gingrich said.
“That is a warning of a catastrophic election. I was in Idaho this last week, and Barack Obama on last Saturday had 16,000 people in Boise. The idea [of] the most liberal Democratic Senator getting 16,000 people in Boise was inconceivable.
“And every person who cares about the conservative movement and every person who cares about the Republican Party had better stop and say to themselves, ‘There is something big happening in this country. We don’t understand it. We’re not responding to it. And we’re currently not competitive. And if we want to get to be competitive, we had better change and we had better change now.”
Gingrich stressed that he was not commenting on any of the current candidates for president.
Rather, he said, “this is a comment about the conservative movement, and it's a comment about the Republican Party, and all the candidates currently running fit within those two phrases. But it is about all of us. It is about our Congressman, our Senator, our governors, our county commissioners, our school board members.
“And let me make this very clear, I believe we have to change or expect defeat. ]

YAWN!!!
Oh well, President Bush is back telling "all Americans" we are being threatened. His move to buttress John McCain now that he is the clear front-runner for the Republican Nomination and a few days after the Jeb Bush endorsement. Gotta love the continued leveraging TERROR for political motives. Get ready for more or worse...
Regarding the "Smear Campaign" ala the New York Times:
Look,this is a non-issue. All that needs to happen is for Cindy McCain to call a press conference to state that she is "Proud of her husband" and that she was present for most of the times that the lobbyist was hawking her husband for his help. Enough said. Story over. If Cindy says it it will be written.
Juegenen, those voices you're hearing aren't angels; they're men in white, easily mistaken for angels. I think one of them is named Harold. Hush, now. They're going to help you.
PART 1: MC-CAIN STRATEGY IN THE PRESIDENTIAL BATTLE OF THE AMERICAN CULTURAL WAR
With Hillary now condemned by the Kennedy Liberals to be burnt at the stake, McCain is the presidential candidate desperately supported by both panicked Podhoretz Neo-Conservatives and Leiberman Neo-Liberals. His shrewd puppeteer, that political dirty trickster Charlie Black, to compensate for McCain’s reputation being insanely subversive to both traditional Reagan Conservatism and Kennedy Liberalism, and for Obama’s reputation being honorable, shall depend on deceptive propaganda techniques, for a politically suicidal campaign that will predictably culminate with McCain getting a well earned date with a Democrat and Republican firing squad.
This foolish Marxist strategy is transparently intended to miraculously transform the image of Neo-Con McCain into an acceptable Conservative, while transforming the image of young Obama into an unacceptable radical black Liberal, by hook and by crook. McCain has notoriously opposed the Republican efforts to preserve lower taxes, supported child sacrifice by abortion, rebuked and ridiculed Christian sects, suppressed freedom of speech on the internet, supported illegal immigration of Mexican labor, support the loss of vital American technology and jobs to China, and supported the illegal sacrifice of the wealth and blood of the American People for the sole benefit of Israel; and he has accomplished nothing noteworthy in his long, contentious, and politically divisive public career. Obama has earned an honorable reputation and a promising political future, by his Harvard legal education and his hard honest work as Illinois Senator.
McCain’s insane disloyalty to his Christian God, his Constitution, his Republican Party, and his military forces will be drowned out by Charlie Black’s incessant propaganda portraying him as the most trustworthy and competent Conservative candidate. Endorsements by Judas ministers and turncoat Conservatives will be bought with campaign promises. Much of the freedom of speech on the internet will be suppressed by continuous complaints and threats. Simultaneously, incessant slanderous propaganda attacks will be launched against Obama’s name, religion, patriotism, and political philosophy. Anti-Semite, black-racist, and political-sleaze baiting attacks will be instigated by Black against vulnerable religious and political groups within Obama’s broad spectrum of supporters, and their vices will be deceptively associated with Obama, as in the recent cases of the real estate crook and the old black racist pastor. And political collusion among millions of Neo-Cons and Neo-Libs will be orchestrated through leading Neo-Con and Neo-Lib commentators in the news and entertainment media. Of course, all of this injustice and persecution of Obama will never be forgotten and will certainly be punished.
PART 2: MC-CAIN STRATEGY IN THE PRESIDENTIAL BATTLE OF THE AMERICAN CULTURAL WAR
McCain’s strategy, based on the assumption that the majority of decent and trustful Americans are sufficiently gullible, is foolish because leading Liberals and Conservatives have long recognized that their real enemies in the American Cultural War are these Neo-Cons and Neo-Libs now entrenched in government, colleges, schools, and news and entertainment agencies. Their incessant subversion of traditional Christian culture and Constitutional government has been intensifying since the McCarthy Era, when politically defeated as Marxist refugees from Nazi Germany, they quickly evolved into two species of Neo-Marxists, the crypto-Marxist Neo-Liberal Democrats and Neo-Conservative Republicans, to resume their relentless ideological politically struggle to gain social and economic power over the America People.
Presently, it is in the vital interests of the Reagan Conservatives and Kennedy Liberals to fight side by side in this crucial election presidential battle of the Cultural War for the imminent defeat of Neo-Lib Hillary and Neo-Con McCain, the expulsion of the Neo-Libs and Neo-Cons from the Democrat and Republican parties, and the patriotic reformation of their endangered traditional Christian culture and Constitutional government.
There are two strategies by which these rather foolish Neo-Cons and Neo-Libs shall be defeated. The first is by a Holy Alliance, whereby both Reagan Conservatives and Kennedy Liberals vote for Obama. The second is by Liberals voting for Obama; and Conservatives voting for Ron Paul, Huckabee, and Romney as write-in candidates. The first strategy offers the additional benefit of quickly re-unifying Republicans and Democrats spiritually, under the shared love of their rich Christian culture and enlightened Constitutional government, against these insidious Neo-Con and Neo-Lib enemies who have so bitterly divided them over the years.
