 Porter says ‘OK’ to McCain and 100 years in Iraq
Despite all of Jon Porter’s political maneuvering to distance himself
from President Bush, he indicated in today’s Las Vegas Review-Journal
that he supports Republican presidential candidate John McCain, who is
running to extend a third Bush term and the war in Iraq.
In today’s Review-Journal, Porter cited McCain’s support for the war as
one of the reasons McCain would make a strong candidate.

In January, McCain said it “would be fine with me” if the United States
stays in Iraq for the next 100 years.

meeting in New Hampshire, McCain told a reporter "that U.S. troops
could be in Iraq for 'a thousand years' or 'a million years,' as far as
he was concerned." [McCain Derry, NH townhall meeting, 1/3/08;

“Nevadans want to bring a responsible end to the war in Iraq, but John
McCain and Jon Porter are happy to extend the war for generations to
come,” said Kirsten Searer, deputy executive director of the Nevada
Democratic Party. “It’s time for a change of course in Iraq and a
change of leadership in the White House.”
