The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and MoveOn.org make quite the team!
The two groups – who endorsed Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, respectively – joined forces to take on presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain, especially his stance on Iraq:
This ad will begin airing nationally Wednesday on CNN and MSNBC, and in Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin markets. It will run for a week at a cost of $543,000. In the ad, an actress with an infant child speaks as if she were addressing McCain, the likely Republican presidential nominee.
“Hi John McCain,” she says. “This is Alex. And he’s my first. So far his talents include trying any new food and chasing after our dog. That, and making my heart pound every time I look at him. And so, John McCain, when you say you would stay in Iraq for 100 years, were you counting on Alex? Because if you were, you can’t have him.”
That’s right, girl! You keep that baby, a concept that will likely appeal to McCain’s pro-life supporters.
Meanwhile, if we were to stay in Iraq for another 100 years, poor fictional baby Alex’s children and grandchildren could potentially follow him abroad. That is, if Alex lived long enough.

I saw this ad this morning while catching a bit of “Morning Joe” on MSNBC. They, of course, panned it. They think the baby bit won’t play well and that people are tired of hearing the “100 years in Iraq” quote because it was mis-characterized.
I say that people are smart enough to know he meant bases. We don’t want them either. As long as we occupy Iraq, there will be no stability in the Middle East and permanent bases will be viewed as an occupation.

I hope the little tyke grows up to be a US Marine….

of course since military service is voluntary they would have to volunteer. Liberals will be mad the baby was born and not aborted. No, wire hangers available?

Good example of how low and stupid liberal group can go. This one is funded by by that lowest of low life George Soros, will look forward to the day (sooner the better) I can read his Obit. A great day for the world.
Oh, we DO have large US troops in Germany, Japan, Korea so whats problem if we are in Iraq for some time….also great observation above pointing out that poor used kid would have to enlist.

capitalist fags? i feel bad that you want to be normal so badly. how far will you go.
i read in the new york times that irag an iran are teaming up.. hmmm i thought iran was the number one terrorist threat to american homeland security.. why would itaq now be telling the US to leave and teaming up with the enemy of their “liberators>” sounds fishy. maybe just maybe war profiteering has been the flame for this war, and the one before that and the one before that, and even backto good old american hero christohper columbus who sobravely began the liberation of american freedoms with murder and thievery.
ps. fuck log cabin republicans

Rose,
Dont worry you will never be hetero normal or any other kind of normal. Dont know if your comment were in ebonicks or what but suggest you get back on the meds or seek help from a professional. Also if you are in USA and so unhappy you really should go to some perfect country where you would fit in….and do us all a favor.
Mr C
We have no DAMN business over there AT ALL.
This country has medaled around in other peoples affairs till it has become asinine. We are the only country with Military bases in everybody elses country. And we want to tell everybody else how to run their country and look at ours.
High Unemployment
High Gas Prices
Foreclosure MADNESS
Economy out of control
What else????
Also remember one thing those Al Qaeda folks are already in this country living on the low because of security. Personally I don’t give a FUCK how they rebuild that DAMN country (Iraq). Won’t McCain take his old ass and get Bush and rebuild the entire Gulf Coast after all they are tax-payers
Got those folks living in contaminated trailers and then out them.
Aren’t you just PROUD of your country?
And for all of you that feel that we need to occupy Iraq.
STEP UP AND BE A MOTHERFUCKING MAN and enlist A.S.A.P
And GaryNYC what is ebonicks?…….lol it’s ebonics in which we all know isn’t really a word.
