  Here’s some “straight talk” from the straight talker re: Georgia (which of course the McCain foreign policy staff is on the dole from): “My friends, we have reached a crisis, the first probably serious crisis internationally since the end of the Cold War. This is an act of aggression.”

  Ok, Desert Storm, Kosovo, 911, Afghanistan, Iraq, GWOT, etc. Guess those were just little dustups.

  Doesn’t McCain have a bingo tourney or something to keep him from saying this stuff?

  But let’s the truth behind the rhetoric and lies in the campaign - I’m sure that will be a totally unbiased, non-partisan affair!

  Great website Mr. Margolis, very objective and ’straight talkish’ looking - thanks for the tip.

  It’s nice to see that McCain supporters have now reached the point where they can design a website that looks like it was created in 1995 by a color blind 14 year old with attention deficit disorder.

  It’s also great to know that those rumors that he is woefully ignorant of the “internets” does not follow through to his supporters.

  jahay, only the leftiest of left wing loons thinks Russias invasion of Georgia was Georgia’s fault.

  How fortunate that Russia had all those guys sitting in their tanks right on Georgia’s border with the engines running. No way the Ossetia thing was a pretext. Just couldn’t be. Why the last time something like that happened was when the USSR and Hitler jointly invaded Poland. Oh, well that’s a bad example.

  Notice the the Ukraine desperately wants into NATO and Poland announced they would deploy the missile shield this week. I’m sure those things don’t have anything to do with a militarily aggressive Russia either.

  Hey, but don’t worry.

  I hear Obama is having the words to Kumbaya translated to Russian and having thousands of copies made to pass out to the Russian soldiers.

  That should do the trick.

  I’ll bet it’s because the Ossetians kept their thermostats at 72.

  Straight talk is a in depth and informative website on the lies the Obama campaign has launched. I urge everyone to visit it regulary

  “revealing the truth behind all the rhetoric and lies being put out during the presidential campaign…”

  Bummer. Thought you had something there.
  The key being”all”, of which it is not.

  Looks like a lot of liberals came out of the woodwork just to slam an informational site.

  Odd.

  The left promises the same old politics.

  Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili was played by the Republicans and the 2000 people of South Ossetia died as a result. Republican are a one issue party and their issue is fear. The US has been on military maneuvers with the Georgian army recently. The Bush administration has armed Georgia with the latest weapons. John McCain’s top foreign policy adviser, Randall Scheunemann, lobbied for Georgia until recently. I believe people within the Republican Party put President Saakashvili up to attacking South Ossetia with the promise of military support when Russia retaliated. South Ossetia is within the Georgia border, but the entire population identifies itself as Russian and wants to succeed from Georgia.
  President Saakashvili, urged by Republicans, attacked and killed 2000 people and sent 35,000 fleeing for their lives. Russia’s timely intervention prevented the ethnic cleansing of an entire population.
  The promised US military support never came and Russia dominated. The US media is silent about Saakishvili’s war crimes and it casting the Russia as the villains when they were the cavalry that came to South Ossetia’s rescue. This is all being done so the Republicans can have a new enemy to point at to scare Americans into voting for John McCain.

  Republicans convinced a blood-thirsty dictator to commit a war crime in South Ossetia that cost 2000 lives for a perceived political advantage in November.
