"John McCain"
Today’s Dispatch article about Mark Kvamme adds a new piece to the puzzle that suggests there is something highly unusual about his interest in JobsOhio and Ohio in general, especially for a guy committed to return to his California-based venture capital firm by the end of this summer.
We know that Kvamme first worked on Kasich’s ‘00 Presidential campaign as a “Senior Internet Strategist.” We know that for years John Kasich was able to keep his oldest and closest congressional aides paid by keeping them on the payroll of his federal PAC, New Century, which did little but… keep [...]
Full Story... →Walking down the alley on my way back from the Obama rally this afternoon I passed what appeared to be a U.S. Postal Service truck covered with John McCain signs.
As I got closer I saw another sign in the door of the truck: Democrats for McCain.
Anyone recognize him?
Full Story... →No, no, no… I said: JOHN MCCAIN IS OLD. And he can’t hear very well, either.
Tim has a post up about John McCain mishearing a series of interview questions and basically threatening to attack Spain, one of our NATO allies.
This kind of supports a theory I have which is: McCain can’t hear worth a shit. It seems pretty likely, actually, given his age.
My first clue came when I saw McCain looking down and turning his head during Palin’s speech in Dayton. He wasn’t looking at Palin’s ass, he was trying to hear her.
Again, it [...]

Full Story... →Remember Ken Blackwell’s NAMBLA-supports-my-opponent argument?
It looks like McCain is pulling a Blackwell in his new ad: accusing Barack Obama of passing legislation to teach sex ed to kindergartners…
Obviously the accusation is a lie. Obama’s bill included “‘age appropriate’ sex-education for children as a means of teaching them what was proper or inproper touching, as well as to protect them against pedophiles”. Hardly the same thing as handing out flavored condoms with their milk and cookies.
But hey- why let the truth get in the way of political attacks.
The response from the Obama campaign was [...]
Full Story... →This weekend I saw this piece of an interview with Ken Blackwell on CNN. In it Ken claims “John McCain is willing to stand before African American voters and say ‘I care’.”
It’s nice to see that McCain found at least one black Republican to support him.
Unfortunately, Blackwell’s claim just isn’t true. Sure, McCain may stand there and SAY he cares- but if he really did care then he wouldn’t have hired former Jesse Helms cohorts to work on his campaign.
If he REALLY cared, John McCain would dump Republican strategist Charlie Black – who “played [...]
Full Story... →Reading the Dispatch blog this morning I came across an interesting piece of information: the Ohio Supreme Court has a mandatory retirement age of 70.
It turns out a mandatory retirement age of 70 is actually pretty common. Even the Catholic Church has a mandatory retirement age of 70 for priests.
Since it seems perfectly reasonable to have a minimum age requirement for a person who is to serve as President of the United States, might not it also seem pretty reasonable to have a maximum age requirement as well?
I mean- if a 71-year-old can’t be trusted to [...]
