I wonder how many dipshit libs voted for Obama because he lied about his intent to close Gitmo. I know three. Anyone else?

My views are mixed on the spectrums, but for me, I deemed the issue an uncontested one because both said they would close it. If any lib voted for Obama on that promise, they weren't paying attention to the other candidate and giving him a fair shake and hearing on his views.

John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has called for the closing of the Guantanamo Bay prison for alleged terrorist detainees.

"I believe we should close Guantanamo," McCain said in a foreign policy address in Los Angeles, where he argued that the United States cannot go it alone in the world and must respect the views of valued allies.

"Our great power does not mean that we can do whatever we want, whenever we want," said McCain, 71. . . . http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/23/us...s/23gitmo.html

PELLEY: Would you close Guantanamo Bay?

MCCAIN: Yes. I would close Guantanamo Bay. And I would move those prisoners to Fort Leavenworth. And I would proceed with the tribunals.

PELLEY: Why? What's wrong with the way it was handled?

MCCAIN: Guantanamo Bay has become an image throughout the world which has hurt our reputation. Whether we deserve it or not, the reality is Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib have harmed our reputation in the world, thereby harming our ability to win the psychological part of the war against radical Islamic extremism.

They both tried to do this following the election as POTUS and Congressman respectively, but Congressional opposition has now directed that they be either held in Gitmo or not at all in legal limbo.
