John McCain
October 23, 2008
- McCain and Palin are for the regular, normal, everyday Americans, the real people who work hard, go to church, pay their bills, and in particular, the regular Joes (not just plumbers) and the regular hockey/soccer/football/softball/t-ball-Moms who live in Pro-America. I’m a little concerned that they are, therefore, not in favor of the exceptional, the well-healed, well-educated America. ...

- Leave it to the hate brigade to see the world in black and white—quite literally. Following Colin Powell’s endorsement of Barack Obama, Rush Limbaugh immediately pronounced the decision was based on race. Many of Rush’s fellow travelers soon chimed in. In their minds, the decision was obvious. Both men are black. Therefore, Powell will naturally support Obama. This assumption begs a ...

- Guess which short, mincing, lisping, over-compensating, cross-dressing, hypocritical, adulterating, divorced, pseudo-Catholic, opportunistic, megalomaniacal, self-appointed, money-grubbing, art-destroying, incompetent, ungrateful, inadequate, Mussolini cloned, dispensable, sack of worthless shit added his hyper-inflated, overpriced, over-valued, unsolicited, inconsequential two cents worth into ...

- In 2004, after John Kerry made his war record in Vietnam the centerpiece of his campaign against George W. Bush, GOP political operatives countered with the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Conceived and organized by the Bush reelection team, this hand-picked collection of former navy officers and enlisted men was used to discredit Kerry’s military service. Personally, I found this one of the ...

- posted on CNN, October 7, 2008 The Wall Street crisis notwithstanding, coal continues to embroil the presidential campaign into knots unlike any other issue in the swing states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. Take a look at the backflips by both campaigns in the last several weeks: Jumping on a not-in-my-backyard "clean coal" gaffe by Sen. Joe Biden, the ...

- Take that old saw about not being able to teach an old dog new tricks and toss it in your blue recycling bin on top of your fifth of a quart economic medicinal containers. In his final mano-a-mano confrontation with Barack Obama, the oldest dog of them all, Arizona Senator John McCain proved that aphorism false by adding a new wrinkle to his typical somnambulant debate strategy; centering his ...

- For anyone who wants to see the U.S. political system at its best, I urge you to watch the video at the link listed below. Colin Powell's endorsement of Barack Obama raises the level of discourse in a campaign that has often descended into the gutter by both candidates. Mr. Powell's eloquence, decency and fairness are a reminder of how uplifting democracy can be when conducted by persons of ...

- An old man stood at a podium. Before him stretched an empty high school auditorium that hours before had been full of people yelling his name. Fifty years ago he had walked across a stage like this to graduate. Now he was here at the end of the last great era of his life. There was no one to watch him leave the stage.It had been an arduous journey to end up back here. ...

- The way John McCain and Sarah Palin have been moving away from the ostensible leader of their party, you’d think George W. Bush had lice. Of course when a man presides over a long and unpopular war, the greatest economic collapse since the Great Depression, and moves into uncharted territory for presidential disapproval ratings, it gets very itchy for the heirs of his political mantle.In fact, ...

- Sunday the Monterey County Herald (California) ran a story with major national and election implications by Julia Reynolds. I assume it was sent out. But so far I haven't seen or read anything on it, although it seems a first class piece of journalism and one of those things that should be known, regardless of the candidate or party. My interest, in a way, is personal _ some years ago I did a ...
