McCain anti-Russia comments re-emerge

Thursday 3rd July, 2008
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has dismissed US presidential candidate John McCain's pledge to seek Russia's explusion from the G8 if he is elected.
In an interview, Medvedev said: "It is perfectly clear that any calls to expel Russia or to pressure Russia are simply not serious."
Russia joined the Group of Seven leading industrialized nations in 1997, which came to be called the G8.
Medvedev will represent Russia for the first time at the forum's summit slated July 7-9 in Hokkiado, Japan.
In October last year, Republican presidential hopeful McCain said the G8 should become a club of leading market democracies: "It should include Brazil and India but exclude Russia."
He cited that diminishing political freedoms, a leadership dominated by a clique of former intelligence officers and efforts to bully democratic neighbors were the reasons for which Russia should be ousted from the grouping.
Medvedev said the G8 exists "not because anyone likes or dislikes it, but because it has objectively the largest economies and the most important players in terms of foreign policy."
Attempts to restrict the group would damage the world order, he said in response to a reporter's question on McCain's comments.

McCain anti-Russia comments re-emerge
McCain’s Words are hollow!
He is part and parcel a member of the richman’s club, bent on stripminning the resources of the world and enslaving as many people possible.
The tools to do it are in his words, and not a single honest word.

The word is nationalism
Does he believe in his country?
Should we put the world ahead of the needs of our own country?
Most certainly the world does n’t care about the US ALL THEY WANT IS THE HAND OUTS.

I'm all for Nationalism! However your use of the word bastardizes the meaning!
You are too cowardly to stand tall as a Nation! You need to lie cheat steal to exist! And you go outside the Nation TO THE WEAKEST TARGETS YOU CAN FIND!
Hardly a definition for Nationalism!

Think he means no you should not put the worlds needs ahead of your Country(unless the worlds destruction is the problem-Note: US is located on World called Earth! inclusive problems aside) You should not use your powers to undermine governments that won’t cow down to your demands eg. Iran was democratic but would not sell oil to US or Brition so kill elected leader and install dictator(Why do you think the 52 hostages were taken) 2) Say you reconize democracies then Hamas gets elected now you don’t??? 3) That famous Quote “either your with us or against us!“Sounds alot like a dictator eh!(many more examples/ see articules by Ex Generals and CIA agents of the USA) As for the handouts most have been stolen from the country being exploited for oil, strategic location etc Heck the handouts are a good policy but in the infomation age your fooling less and less people. Well don’t feel bad as all Countries do this but we all expect the USA to set the best and fairest example as a Great Country that has been lead off the path. Best to all the military men and women paying for our freedom, and nuts to the politicians that are putting us in harms way! Good nite!

Are you projecting?
Are you feeling extra bitchy today?
Is the sand a rubbin?
More evidence of senility and dementia.
Frequent out bursts of anger and misplaced hostility.
Poor old bastard your teeth are in a glass on the nightstand.
