choosing a president is a very personal decision, and personally, no man who calls his wife "cunt" in public should be considered presidential material, even if said wife teases him about his thinning hair.
talk about unpatriotic.
that's right. Cindy McCain, America's First Liquor Lady...and don't forget the drugs. She can get you ANYTHING! ;-)
how about asking McCain if America is ready for a Beer Executive as First Lady....
Wasn't everybody just clamoring for Teresa Heinz Kerry's tax returns? What about Beerbie McCain's?
I want to know.
George should be embarassed, as should ABC. It was everything that is wrong with the MSM in one tight episode.
sure, he claims a war injury prevents him from raising his arm, but is that just a commypinko excuse not to put his hand over his heart during the singing of the national anthem?
which is he, a Baptist, or Episcopalian, or Satan worshipper?
isn't he foreign-born?
hmmm...interesting......he could ask McCain if Americans want another Betty Ford?
So once again we have clear evidence of the US media getting its marching orders from the Rove playbook. The strangehold is clear and obvious; and the people remain powerless. Just another day in Neocon America.
I'll bet you any amount of money McCain gets asked a question about what it's like to be a "maverick." James Garner should storm the set and say, "I know Maverick, and you, sir, are no Maverick."
The really sad thing is that the Dems, as usual, have done nothing to change this situation since they took over Congress. I don't want to hear any BS about them having a thin majority. The truth is if they bang that drumhead loudly and refuse to move forward on any Neocon appointees or bills, use the power of the purse-strings, they could stop the Neocons in their tracks.
Clint Curtis, the FL election fraud whistleblower running against the congressman who allegedly hired him to write vote-flipping software in 2000, explains why: "They are basically a status quo operation. They want to raise money. I don’t think they really care that much about beating the Republicans, because if they stay equal, it’s all status quo. They’re calling each other names so they can raise money. It’s kind of sad, but I think that’s where they are."
So there you go. Counting on the Dems to effect change—as we’ve seen, that leads to crushing disappointment. There are about five Dems right now with any real fight in 'em, and NONE of them are hitting hard on the big media blackout issues like election fraud. The rest are all cowering wimps and Bush enablers. If we are to survive, we seriously have to get a more fighters in there. Check out my interview with Curtis here: http://www.bradblog.com/?p=5866#more-5866 and if you can throw him even 5 bucks, please do so at http://www.clintcurtis/com/contribute.htm. The man is the real deal--a true progressive, and a fighter with a spine. Curtis also has a crucial fund-raising deadline for the filing fee coming up on 4/30 and needs contributions now.
The only way we'll ever change the dialogue in this country is via a massive spine transplant into Congress. Curtis is one of the few guys out there throwing heat. Let’s get his back.
Cindy McCain arrives back at the White House after knocking back rounds with former sorority sisters in Georgetown. Tripping over a lamp, she wakes up John. She tells him to get out of bed because he always forget his late-night pee, and on the way to the toilet, Cindy whispers "Let's push the button, baby. See what happens". LOL

Pope meets with sex abuse victims
I have no respect for someone who would kiss the ass of anyone who attacked their family or friends.
It demonstrated to me that McCain is the worst type of craven politician, someone who would throw his own family to the wolves for personal gain.
Not a trustworthy person, not a person I would want on my side, let alone in charge of my country.
What a fraud.
( Actually, I guess that would be up to 4 cents now )

Note: Episcopal, and his mother is an oil heiress...
What negative affect has being tortured and psychologically broken in Vietnam had on his ability to think clearly, communicate with others, and maintain sound judgment while under pressure.
Virtually all Vietnam POW who were tortured experience long term emotional and mental problems such as Post Tramatic Stress Disorder which can affect judgment and day to day abilities. These effects typically affect a person for the remainder of their life.
He seems to have coped OK, but how can we be assured McCain won't go off on the deep end and put the world at risk with psychological and neurological damage he experienced?
unless of course, Hannity orders him to do it.
Georgie has this insane desire to please Hannity.
"If you had to do it all over again Mr. McCain, would you leave your 3 young kids behind and move 2500 miles away to be with your mistress?"

Anyone know his email for this show? We should be emailing ALL these questions about McCain to Georgie.

And Ratzo only met with 5 of the abuse victims...I guess the rest were ready to take off his head.

Crime is growing ever so much around here. Last month it was the next door neighbor.
Exactly why change is needed.
ABC News has been drooling all over the anti-gay Pope all day in the coverage of his stay here in DC. They don't use any objectivity at all. It is 100% pure drooling over him as if he is God herself.

Are there any pictures with McCain wearing a flag lapel pin because he certainly does not have one on in any of the pictures on his website for president or his senate site, but of course you can only look at so many pictures of McCain without laughing and feeling sick at at the same time, it's a weird feeling.
Obama is no longer running for president.... He IS president. God bless him!! He tells it like it is!
It's not hard to imagine who that faux restaurant worker might be with enough time on his hands to do such a thing...
I love it...this is great....from the link:
"That was the roll-out of the Republican campaign against me in November. That is what they will do," Mr. Obama said. "They will try to focus on all these issues that don’t have anything to do with how you pay your bills at the end of the month."
wink, wink ;-)

OT: geez Mirth, how'd you get to minus 568? I keep voting you up, now you're at -558. But someone is voting you down faster.
probably pissed off some troll. Mirth is a bitter drunk...and she's drunk quite often, according to Drudge. :-)
Updated: Obama just turned last night's debate into a campaign issue. Two videos now.

Why did he divorce his first wife who stayed faithful and true while he was a missing POW ? What does that about him and his religious beliefs - that he returned and dumped his wife for a better looking rich wife ?
I still can't believe a GOPer said that.

This business is pretty cool. Somewhere between a dog whistle to the kids and a reverse Sister Souljah. Check out Obama at 2:20:

Starting at 2:20, bear witness to perhaps the coolest subliminal cultural reference in the history of American politics.

A large number of the Hanoi Hilton occupants signed 'confessions' to avoid being tortured to death. Many POWs who stuck to the letter of their military oaths and their training and refused to make 'confessions' did not survive captivity.
I don't blame McCain for signing some bullshit oath and making a meaningless statement to save his life.
Having said that, the KKKarl Roves of the world would crucify him for it if he were a Dem. Look what they did to decorated Vietnam combat veteran John Kerry. It just reinforces what scum Rethugs really are. Karma got Lee Atwater in the end.
"While he was imprisoned, (his first wife) Carol was in an auto wreck (1969), thrown through her car's windshield and left seriously injured. Despite her injures, she refused to allow her POW husband to be notified about her condition, fearing that such news would not be good for him while he was being held prisoner.
When McCain returned to the United States in 1973 after more than five years as a prisoner of war, he found his wife was a different person. The accident "left her 4 inches shorter and on crutches, and she had gained a good deal of weight."
...
While still married to Carol, McCain began an adulterous relationship with Cindy. He married Cindy in May 1980 -- just a month after dumping Carol and securing a divorce."
What is it with republicans who dump their wives when they become sick?
Not at all. I would ask him just to bring up the subject again. Then I would reword the question and ask it again.

"you boys need to switch teams and get some of this Vicki Iseman poontang"-John McCain to Lindsey Graham and Charlie Crist

"Do you think she'd use a strap-on?" - Lindsey Graham and Charlie Crist to John McCain
While I do not believe that being shot down and captured makes one a "hero," should we detract from John McCain's actual sacrifice? After all, he had a family well placed enough that he could have remained out of harms way in Vietnam. At his age in Vietnam, he was certainly over that "I can't die" illusion that most of our young combatants feel. Usually that only lasts until the first real enemy missile lock scares the shit out of you, or the first AK-47 round slams into the wall over your head. No, I have to conclude that he served his country with the same degree of honor and commitment as any of us who fought. And infinitely more than either Bush, Cheney, or a host of other "heros" in this pathetic administration.
So I really have no interest in seeing McCain denegrated by questions that could (should) be raised about his numerous imperfections. I simply want every Democrat to get off their ass and VOTE. If you, yourself, love America then VOTE. If democrats and most decent middle-roaders voted, there is no way possible for McCain to win. And if you don't go to the effort to vote, please leave patriotism out of your conversation.
And some tought questions about the Keating Five.
And, yes, given that he is running as a war hero, please explain those propaganda tapes? Would John Wayne have done that?
And precisely what sort of torture did he endure? And is that the same sort of turture he would encourage the CIA to use?
And was it effective in getting him to reveal vital military information? And if not, then why shoud we use it?
And won't you share with us the moment of your religious conversion, when you found that the Baptist Church was the one true church? Do you believe that Episcopalians are apostate?
What are your plans for rebuilding all of the government agencies that Bush has trashed by appointing political hacks to run them?
And why he is breaking the campaign finance law that he himself wrote?
And does he believe that the President is above the law, as GWB has repeatedly stated?
And if elected, will he continue to wire-tap without a warrant?
And why does he hire so many Washington lobbyists to run his campaign?
And given his wealth, would he call himself an elitist?
And is it true that he fathered an illegitimate black child? And if not, what does he think of those who would use such a rumor for their own political advantage?
But no, George will ask him what he had for breakfast. And does he enjoy being called a maverick. And then slobber all over him in gratitude for allowing the interview.
Personally, everyone should lay off McCain & Vietnam. It was a long time ago, and no-one should be blamed for what they do under torture.
But McCain should know that torture's main use is to extract false confessions. Asking him about THAT would be fair.
The very question would denote that the elder McCain has fathered something "less-than", and that this is something that both McCain and his father have to answer for.
Be careful, he may answer, "Hell yes, it's true, and I'm damn proud of it."
We democrats should be beyond 'those' kind of issues--but then, perhaps we're not.
If we go by clout points, then I am no more wanted on these threads than is Busboy. Currently I stand at -571.
I don't get this disqus. :-(
PeteWa, Busboy and I are polar opposites on most issues, but he's a pal and it isn't him dinging my rate points. The ones doing it are from another site, banned here at AB. In these scary times, who would want to deny them some pleasure?
Nigel...me ♥ you.
Nigel Elliot
Whoa! Most excellent question.
:)
Yes, Nigel, the new Obama vid IS awesome. I've watched it several times to get rid of last night's yuckies. Feelin' awright now.
But on its face, I have to cheer...and hope in realtime that President Obama will take this step.
