How McCain might have handled today’s protestors;

Surrender monkeys: End this endless war! You are killing us! Yadda, yadda, yadda.

 

Mack: Let me ask you a question… Hey guys, hold on a second and let’s have a conversation…. You don’t have to shout any longer. You can speak normally into the microphone.”

 

Surrender Monkeys: “Get out of Iraq now. Blah, blah, blah.” 

 

Mack: Is it ok with you that I now speak at my own function? (Applause with fond thoughts of Reagan’s microphone moment in New Hampshire) So you want us out of Iraq, what do you think the terrorist Islamofascists will do if the US isn’t there to stand up them?

 

Surrender monkeys: Blah, blah, yadda, blah. 

 

Mack: Do you realize that Iran is funding the terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah who are attacking the good people of Lebanon and Palestine and Israel? Do you understand that Iran is funding the Shiite militias that are attacking American servicemen and the good people of Iraq?  Are you ok with Iran getting nuclear weapons and if not, how would you go about preventing them from getting them?

 

Surrender monkeys (Now more come to the rescue): Withdrawal, withdrawal! 

 

Mack: Are you just puppet shills only allowed to shriek slogans of surrender or can you carry a conversation in the civil, clear-headed manner which this crisis demands? (Riotous applause, laughter and the start of a new reputation; the clear-headed wit of a stand up comic handling a heckler. Think Reagan and Donaldson)

 

You see, I think what you offer as a solution doesn’t take into account the truth of the larger picture. I don’t think you’ve thought through what would happen if we followed your advice. I empathize with you that we don’t want to see our soldiers in harm’s way. I served in the military and saw the horrors of war. It is my belief that the solution you prescribe, the retreat from Iraq, abandons our allies and new friends in Iraq to terrorist regimes that will slaughter men by the bushel until they have the entire region gripped in their control. They would put a stranglehold on the people of the region and their oil reserves so that they could disrupt the flow of energy and choke the arteries that bring the world economies the lifeblood of oil. They would try to bring the world’s markets to a standstill and they would try to obliterate our longtime allies in Israel. In defiance of the world’s demands, Iran is working on developing nuclear weapons to strengthen their grip on the world.

 

Instead, I clearly see the inevitable results of our abandoning the region and I clearly see that the road folks like Obama and Hillary want America to go down would doom the Middle East and therefore the world, to disaster. Without our brave armed men and women defending the fragile democracies in the dangerous region, the Islamofascists would create a world of chaos. 

 

What these protestors don’t seem to acknowledge that there are shadowy terrorist organizations are being funded by Iran to wipe out democracy anywhere in the region. And what these demonstrators suggest as a solution would give our enemies more than could ever dream of achieving through the use of their cowardly IEDS or by tying bombs to their children to explode them on busloads of civilians.   These protestors think that if we surrender the region to Islamofascist, they will stop their evil ways and learn to love us. 

 

What our well-meaning liberal friends fail to recognize is that history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement. We are already at war with Iran because they have been waging war on us in Iraq. What you suggest is surrendering Iraq to Iran. I believe with all my heart that it is in America’s vital interest that we should stand strongly with the fledgling republic of Iraq. Freedom, liberty and capitalism need to be defended in a region where so little exists. If I am elected to serve as your president, you can be sure that I will fully recognize the threats and risks America faces. And I’ll advocate for lasting peace through strength!

 

Now, back to my speech,,,
