McCain, if you win, I'll remember...

I'll remember the promises you made along the way in this campaign.

We'll win in Iraq by winning. Winning is only defined in your Vietnam mind by staying (if we never leave then I guess it is impossible to lose?), but you'll have troops out of Iraq by the end of your first term. 2013 you said.

Al Qaeda will have no safe haven in the world.

You will have captured, killed or followed Osama Bin Laden to the gates of hell.

You will not raise taxes.

Several years of robust economic growth.

A safe and stable southern border.

Drilling in the OCS will have lowered gas prices and freed us from foreign oil. We will not be subject to the dangers of an oil supply crash.

A balanced budget.

Nuclear power will fuel our energy needs and it is safe (we will have no accidents to worry about).

America will be safer for having you as our president.

The world food crisis is over.

Iraq was the right thing to do and you'd do it again and keep us there until the job is done, again.


You are campaigning against the brains and hope of a relative Washington outsider. By appealing to fear and stereotypes you might just pull this thing off (how unthinkable it was of another republican earning the office after the Bush / Cheney train wreck). I've listened to your words and marked them in my mind. I will not let you get away with anything less than the perfection you are selling to a comatose American public. You run for office as commander in chief based on your service credentials so if you spill the blood of my comrades in Iran needlessly, I will remember and hold you accountable as a traitor. That's right, fail and you are a traitor in my mind. You are not the man I knew 8 years ago. The world is in too precarious of a position now for America to not have the absolute smartest and best administration in office. I'll remember if you win, McCain, all that you said to get there.
