DISQUS

Fix article link, please.

Again, Alter is perpetuating the myth that the "real guy" is "honorable," "has integrity," is a "man true to principle." The fact is McCain has ALWAYS been an amoral opportunist who has benefited from nepotism and people's desire to inscribe on him hero-victim stature to salvage some "good" out of a failed war, in which there could be no heroes. "The real guy" is what we now see, in all its shameful, disgraceful reality.

I think the Corporate Media has to justify its previous hero-worship if this dirtbag.

If pretending he's changed rather than shown his true colors is what they need to finally hold him accountable, I'll take it.

I cannot get to the article. However, from what I've read here, Jonathan Altar has hit the nail on the head. Despite his assurances he will not stoop to Rovian attacks, he has flip flopped and gone down to gutter politics. His ads are so juvenile, and reeks of envy and cussedness. I only worry that Obama's lead has now gone, and that maybe that many Americans are still too dumb to get it.

Wow, a thoroughly blistering assessment of McSame, and thoroughly on target.

McCain's campaign is also a testimony to the complete collapse of the GOP. The countless incidents sexual infidelity, pedophilia, toe tapping, diaper wearing, hookers and on and on. The Abrahamov, Delay, Hastert, Cunningham, Santorum, Stevens, Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld, Rice, Powell, Gonzalez, Goodling, lie after lie after lie after bribe, after kickback after theft, after you name it and it is all imploding at once. Rove the so called mastermind has run his course. The whole party from top to bottom is full of criminals. McCain is just the end of this collapse. 10 years ago no one could have imagined a Presidential campaign so devoid of real ideas, alternatives and concepts. Obama other than enduring the constant personal and racial attacks has not had to articulate anything in the way of policy he has simply deflected the endless, baseless horse shit from a campaign that has not rudder, no leadership and represents everything the country now despises about the GOP. There is nothing to elect in John McCain, he stands for nothing, represents nothing, is out of touch with everyone in America, has no ethics, no honor, his only claim is that because he got shot down and was held prisoner he should be President. He has no skill in any area, economics, foreign relations, diplomacy, human rights, military strategy, he hasn't voted in the last 400 occasions requiring a vote, he offers nothing. The campaign now focuses on Obama's popularity and age and somehow being a huge weakness. We still have 100 days left, if they can't offer a single definitive thing that McCain stands for other than History it leaves Republicans across the country with nothing to vote for on the right. And after the last 8 years of Bush, maybe this is finally what America needs to rebuild and restore its freedoms and rights and earn back the respect of the rest of the world who have also endured 8 years of insanity from the last remaining so called super power. Let's hope so, cause the alternative is a Stephen King fantasy

"There is nothing to elect in John McCain, he stands for nothing, represents nothing, is out of touch with everyone in America, has no ethics, no honor, his only claim is that because he got shot down and was held prisoner he should be President."

Well said lynch. Historians in the future will agree with every letter of your statement.

Very well said!

Well, that was a long tirade - and quite factually acurate too!

A must read:

John McCain is a racist.

http://www.capitolhillblue.com/cont/node/10086

The arrogance, the nastiness, yes, it is all there in this republican candidate.
It looks like the republicans do not have high standards in choosing their nominee

tlsintx · 1 year ago

wow. that's a scathing article.

to the extent John McCain was ever a decent man, he has stopped now. he seems to have made a conscious decision to go down the Rovian path and never look back.

Bush_Bites · 1 year ago

I'm sure Broder is still sending McCain Valentines, tho.

i said this 2 weeks ago,what an immature nasty old fuk...and too boot that snarling laugh at the end of his non funny jokes...creeps me out............OLD CREEP in a trench coat

CSStrowbridge · 1 year ago

I was actually thinking that McCain's childish campaigning was an attempt to convince people he's not too old to be president.

shrrrr · 1 year ago

I think McSame is going to implode by the time this is over. At some point in the next three months, he is going to wake up and decide this campaign of his does not reflect him and go bat-shit crazy...all in living, high definition color. This guy has set himself up for a total meltdown.

Blueflash · 1 year ago

Either that or he'll say something so breath-takingly nasty about Obama as to destroy whatever's left of his campaign.

Mike_G · 1 year ago

he's a surprisingly immature politician—erratic, impulsive and subject to peer pressure from the last knucklehead who offers him advice.

Gee, imagine if we'd been ruled (yes, not 'governed', but 'ruled') for the last eight years by someone like that. What a mess we'd be in.

At some point in the next three months, he is going to wake up and decide this campaign of his does not reflect him and go bat-shit crazy...all in living, high definition color.

Maybe he already has, but McThuselah knows he can count on his BBQ-and-donuts fanboys in the Repig-fluffing Corporate Media to keep it secret, like when they didn't bother to mention that Reagan was a drooling vegetable with Alzheimer's disease throughout his second term.

Sage24 · 1 year ago

You are right. We could be talking about our present, immature, frat boy, in the WH. McShame has shown his true colors, and it look muddy and ugly.
What is the matter with the rethuglicans? They keep nominating inadequate, mentally challenged candidates, who end up messing this country, and starting wars. Rethuglicans are also very dense when it comes to judgment. They voted for the butcher of Crawford, and his corrupt side kick, twice.

naschkatzehussein · 1 year ago

Of all the variations on his name, McThuselah deserves a special mention. Priceless.

Bush_Bites · 1 year ago

Many geriatric adults go through a second childhood.

Maybe that's what McCain's doing now.

red_dwarf · 1 year ago

Only 5 classmates out of 900 finished worse the McShank. The guy is a bigot, a liar, a has-been, a phoney, you name it. How anyone could vote for this bottom feeding scumbag is beyond anything my imagination could ever dream up.

Sounds like he already doesn't remember who he's supposed to be...

OlderAndWiser · 1 year ago

I've noticed a subtle difference in some in the MSM and their take on this contest. Perhaps this turn in McBush's campaign strategy and the vile rhetoric being used has finally convinced some that they're just not ready for repeats of 2000 and 2004. I know I'm damned tired of the same old, same old from the Rethugs--who wouldn't be, except for the most hardcore rightwingers?

woodroad34 · 1 year ago

Of the last 14 elections, this polling has proven correct 12 times...They're predicting Obama as the winner--it is the economy, Stupid (I mean, McShame): http://news.aol.com/elections/article/economic-...

As a senile and tired, old man of 72, McCain should have a second childhood. Our next president turns 47 on Monday.
