Things you probably do not know about John McCain


1) He is breaking the very laws on campaign financing that he helped write on a daily basis.

2) He is not a 'natural born citizen'. He was born in Panama, and no matter how you twist the Constitution, a child born in Panama can not fit the defintion of 'natural born citizen'. Natural born citizens do not need a legal justification or clause to make them citizens.

3) John MccAin has cheerleaded the Iraq War consistantly and in even the face of a desperate reality. He has in fact stated that we should remain there for 100, even 'a million' years. McCain himself said ‘No one has supported President Bush on Iraq more than I have.’

4) McCain constantly confuses facts, such as Sunni vs. Shiite, and makes deliberately misleading 'gaffes', only to insist they were all 'mistatements' and that he 'mispoke' on the rare occassion he is challenged on them. Most of the time they are not reported at all, instead McCain is given the benefit of the doubt inspite of the exact opposite being true.

5) The reporters covering McCain are often openly courted by McCain, and are unethically close to the subject of their reporting. When he makes mistakes, mistatements, or even flat out lies, they simply do not report it. They chose access to power over their duty of informing the public with full disclosure.

6) If you think John Kerry was 'elitist' because his wife was an Heiress, that standard also applies to McCain who divorced a wife to marry an heiress worth in excess of 100 million dollars. She then financed his political rise and they have no less than 8 homes.

7) McCain has openly sought the endorsements of some of the most radical elements of the Christian Right. If Obamas pastor is controversial, then so is McCains open solicitation of religious leaders who are openly engaged in hate speech and racial stereotyping.Yet his connections to these people go unreported.

8) In the media, McCains support for our soldiers is assumed, yet he is actively resisting signing a new GI Bill, and has backed up every policy of George W Bush, no matter how detrimental it was to our Armed Forces.

9) Has been called 'anti- torture' even though he again actively supports an administration fully engaged in the depravity of it. He has yet to demand it cease, nor has he provided legislation or investigations to stop it. (The President Vice President and many administration level officials have now admitted to constructing and approving a torture program)

10) Is consistently known for improper relationships with lobbyists. Even ones that have business before the committees he is on. Rarely are these relationships reported or investigated by anyone in the media.

11) McCain does support dismantling Social Security in favor of 'private accounts'.

12) Fully supports George W Bushs policy to give tax breaks to the wealthiest among us, and continued corporate welfare, even as he admits he does not fully understand our economy.

13) His campaign openly admits his financial policy will not reduce our deficits, and in fact has stated openly “..would like the next president not to talk about deficit reduction.” . McCain himself has said vehemently "I disagree. I disagree with the experts. I disagree. I disagree. I disagree with the experts."

14) Has now finally admitted the US Economy is in recession, even though he has been denying it all along.

15) Is quietly co-ordinating and being advised by Karl Rove, whom was the 'Architect of George W Bushs disastrous policies, and is now a 'Fox News Contributor" who is never identified as McCain advisor on air, even as he is supposedly 'reporting' on the nominee.

16) He still does not have a comprehensive health care policy to represent and his campaign seems to be scrambling to make up one as they go along.

17) He has no plan to address Global Warming.

18) Has openly said he agrees with Osama Bin Laden about our military involvement in Iraq... "For the first time, I have seen Osama bin Laden and Gen. Petraeus in agreement, and that is, the central battleground in the battle against al-Qaeda is in Iraq today! That’s what bin Laden is saying, and that’s what Gen. Petraeus is saying, and that’s what I’m saying, my friends."

19) He has physically assaulted atleast two fellow members of congress.

20) Refuses to release his medical records or his wifes tax records.

See how easy it is too remove anonymous cowards spreading lies off my blog...?

Perhaps instead of trying to smear Obama you should have tried to refute what I wrote. ANY of it.

Seriously... because I NEVER gave a fuck what you thought.

Christy said...

Oh look! ANOTHER anonymous person posting bullshit!!!

OMG! That is impressive!

NOT. HAHA! Bye Bye.

Christy said...

Funny how bold cowards get when they believe anonymity is a shield. It's not.

As you can see, it as if you were never even here.

Now you may go fuck yourself and have a wonderful day!

BTW... McCain lost.. and yes... to a BLACK MAN. You are way too late.

Deal with it.

And perhaps you should have tried starting an argument about it when I wrote this literally YEARS ago.

It may have MEANT SOMETHING then. Or.. maybe it would have been just as pathetic then, as your attempts to argue about it now... you apathetic and politically retarded bitch.
