Would McCain be comfortable sharing the same party with Ted Kennedy?

Sabi ni Republican Senator John McCain na his own Republican party "has gone astray" raw, on many issues.

Then, dinagdagan pa niya nito:

"I think the Democratic Party is a fine party, and I have no problems with it, in their views and their philosophy."

ABA... GUSTO NA NIYA YATANG LUMIPAT SA DEM PARTY AH?

I know you're a strong supporter of the War on Terror Sen. McCain and you think Bush is doing a good job in Iraq, pero mukhang ine-explore mo pa rin yung options mo kung lilipat ka sa kabila at maging VP ni Kerry o hindi.

But do you really want to be associated with a party that has a leading Liberal Democratic Senator undermining our War effort in Iraq by making this crazy statement:

"Iraq is George Bush's Vietnam, and this country needs a new president," Kennedy said, adding that by going to war, the United States had angered key US allies, made America "more hated in the world" and complicated the war on terrorism.

Si Sen. Ted Kennedy po yan, mga peeps. A Democratic Senator from Massachusetts.

Does Kennedy not realize that these false and irresponsible statements can only embolden our enemies and demoralize the US troops?

Pero siguro yan talaga ang intention mo ano, Mr. Kennedy? Mas importante sa iyo na matalo si Bush kaysa matalo ang Al Queda.

Michael Graham of NRO nails it:

What bothers me isn't the political attack on Bush, but how the senator's idea is a slashing blow to the support for the troops. How does he think these soldiers feel being told they are now part of a "Vietnam," a word which translates into "immoral military action doomed to defeat?" I can't think of a statement more likely to undermine American soldiers than that claim.

What makes Kennedy's vicious attack even more outrageous is that it is demonstrably untrue. The progress on the ground in Iraq has been amazing, given the conditions in Iraq one year ago. We aren't losing in Iraq at all. We are in a war that we have the ability to win.

And Kennedy wants us to surrender. To declare "defeat" and go home. If we keep fighting, and fight smart, we are almost certain to win this war. Bush understands that, which is why Iraq won't be his Vietnam.

But if the Democrats continue to push defeat as an American policy, it could be theirs.

Matagal ko nang sinasabi... Dem Party = Political wing of Al Queda.

Pati si Colin Powell naasar na rin kay Sen. Kennedy.

So back to you, Sen. McCain. Do you agree with Sen. Kennedy's statements against Bush or not? Do you find Sen. Kennedy's statements helpful at all in our fight against terrorism?

Somebody should get McCain on TV right away and get his reaction to Kennedy's Speech.
