McCain Plagiarized Wikipedia Like a Right Wing Puppet
John McCain is a Phony
In a recent foreign policy speech put together to accentuate John McCain’s knowledge of the current conflict in the Caucuses, John McCain proved that he is no more than a right wing puppet. It has been discovered that part of his speech was plagiarized from Wikipedia.

After the Russian Revolution of 1917, Georgia had a brief period of independence as a Democratic Republic (1918-1921), which was terminated by the Red Army invasion of Georgia. Georgia became part of the Soviet Union in 1922 and regained its independence in 1991. Early post-Soviet years was marked by a civil unrest and economic crisis. (Wikipedia)

Third instance:
In 2003, Shevardnadze (who won reelection in 2000) was deposed by the Rose Revolution, after Georgian opposition and international monitors asserted that the 2 November parliamentary elections were marred by fraud. The revolution was led by Mikheil Saakashvili, Zurab Zhvania and Nino Burjanadze, former members and leaders of Shavarnadze’s ruling party. Mikheil Saakashvili was elected as President of Georgia in 2004. Following the Rose Revolution, a series of reforms was launched to strengthen the country’s military and economic capabilities.

Following fraudulent parliamentary elections in 2003, a peaceful, democratic revolution took place, led by the U.S.-educated lawyer Mikheil Saakashvili. The Rose Revolution changed things dramatically and, following his election, President Saakashvili embarked on a series of wide-ranging and successful reforms. (McCain)
I have lost all of my respect for John McCain at this point. Recent he told a blatant lie in his campaign about Barack Obama wanting to tax people who make $42,000/year when he would actually decrease taxes for people in that bracket. He is sinking to a new low everyday and has become a man of no principle. I do not want a liar and a cheat to be our Commander and Chief and I do not think the American people want that either.
You hacks on both sides will leave no proverbial stone unturned to get back at your opponents.
Although McCain was wrong to quote so directly, even you should agree his speech writers did the evil deed.
Please try to stay objective, if this is possible.
