    Illegal is the new legal.

    McShame is a traitor, he lasted less than five days before giving the North Vietnamese Military information. The only torture was withholding medical attention to his wounds. He was instrumental in closing the door on POW / MIA families trying to get information on their missing service members after the war. What's a little campaign fraud compared to that? The jerk is scum.

    Republicans are allowed to break the law. Anyone will tell you that these laws were never passed with the thought they include them.

    As I recall, in '04, Kerry simply announced to the general public what his commercials would be about over the next few weeks and the 527s could take note.
    Nothing illegal about keeping people informed.

    And on top of that the Vets for Freedom group is just a bunch of neocons and defense contractors representing their own interests not Vets.

    Of course this story will not get picked up by the rest of the traditional media and get buried. and nothing will be done about this by anyone because he's a war hero.
    we are not suppose to object to any illegality or question McCain because he is a war hero.
    blah blah blah.

    I don't like to prejudge anyone and especially, try to remain above letting my own liberal leaning influence my view of the morality of the Republicans. However, when it comes to elections and presidential campaigns, the Republicans have a very, very solid record of crime. The surprising thing would be if the Republicans weren't cheating on the presidential campaign. I wish I could say that it won't do them any good, but there is going to be a massive, massive Bradley effect and I fear Democrats may well sweep all the Federal, state and local offices except for one, the presidency. At the very least, the Bradley effect will put the presidency in play for the Republicansand voter fraud will do the rest.

    True. And as we have seen, 1 dip in the executive seat + 33 GOP senators and all they have to do is what they have been doing - filibuster to their heart's content. The theft of the 2008 election may be the end of the Democratic party (as a political power). With the weakness and lack of courage they (Dems) have demonstrated since 2006, arguably they deserve it.

    Americablog Flashback: Vets for Freedom counts an ex-gay p0rn star/prostitute as one of its members...

    Matt Sanchez is the con man who tried to bilk U-haul and a veterans charity out $12,000 by pretending to be a combat veteran himself -- even though he's merely a reservist who never served in Iraq nor Afghanistan. VFF had some Sanchez articles on its web site. One of his articles defended the puppy killing marines.

    Am I questioning their integrity? You betcha!

    Oh good. Another crime by Grampy that the McCainstream media will give him a pass on.

    Another reason that McCain could not be trusted if Obama agreed to public fnancing.
