It was a sad, sickening spectacle.  With dark, foreboding war clouds hovering menacingly over a wildly cheering audience, cheerily Republicans near a crucial election whose outcome could man more death, destruction, debt and disgrace.  Will it be another downward spiral once again for the U.S.A.

First off, if you love the principles that founded the United States of America over 232 years ago, in the name of God, these cheering Republicans have ignored the winged warning of George Washington: "Avoid foreign entanglements!"

The entire convention of flag-waving Republicans has ignored the realty of this inspired warning.  The dazzling hero, candidate for president of the United States, Senator John McCain, was eulogized by Fred Thompson.  

When Thompson told the Republican audience the only thing McCain did reveal was to give the torturing interrogators some misinformation, naming someone they might be interested in that was the name of a Green Bay Packer football player.
