"John McCain"
Is it just me or does Cindy McCain come across as kind of creepy and disconnected from reality?
Maybe it’s the botox and the too-perfect eyebrows.
Or maybe it’s her smug, I’m-better-than-you-because-I-adopted-a-brown-baby, I’m-so-rich-I-can-spend-all-my-time-volunteering attitude that seems to permeate every thing she says.
Elitist. I think that’s the word I’m looking for.
Anyway- in another attempt to help Americans “get to know her” she sat for an interview on ABC’s Good Morning America yesterday.
As I watched it all I could think was: the more I get to know her, the more I dislike her.
Most of [...]
Full Story... →The LA Times ran an interesting piece this morning about John McCain’s lack of support among social conservatives in Ohio.
I found it especially interesting that the McCain people are now trying to avoid associations with wing-nuts like Phil Burress – even though they worked hard to get his endorsement during the primary.
After a recent meeting with McCain’s team Burress is quoted as saying “He doesn’t want to associate with us and we don’t want to associate with him.”
Honestly, this makes me like McCain more- mainly because I have nothing but disgust for Phil Burress. But [...]
Full Story... →So McCain “released” his medical records today.
In case you haven’t been following this, “released” means that he let a couple of reporters review 1,173 pages of medical records for 3 hours. No copies. No pictures. Just notes.
Fucked up, right?
I figured CNN would send crack medical reporter Sanjay Gupta, and I was right.
I just saw Sanjay listing off the medications McCain has been prescribed. The list includes: Simvastatin, Hydrochlorothiazide, Amiloride, Aspirin, Zyrtec, Ambien CR, etc.
Know what I didn’t see?
Viagra.
Supposedly over 70 percent of 70-year-old men have erectile disfunction.
So it’s pretty likely that McCain [...]
Full Story... →It turns out John McCain is actually kind of funny.
In this clip from last night’s Saturday Night Live he makes fun of his age and promises to cut wasteful spending on things like gaydar jamming devices…
“I don’t know if it’s anti-gay or pro-gay or if such a device would even work. I just know that jamming gaydar is not a federal responsibility. That’s something best left to state and local governments.”
Full Story... →In a speech today at Wake-Forest University, McCain “vowed to model his Supreme Court appointees after George W. Bush’s” – i.e. radical, right-wing judges who want to overturn Roe v. Wade and take away reproductive rights from America’s women.
McCain also attacked a 2005 Supreme Court decision that “barred capital punishment for murderers who were under 18 at the time of the crime.”
In essence saying: I want to force women to have a bunch of unwanted babies and then, when those babies grow up to be murders, THEN we’ll kill them.
Full Story... →The RNC is really worried about the DNC’s new anti-McCain ad. So much so that they are threatening legal action…
“As a legal matter,” RNC chairman Mike Duncan said today, this is a “maliciously false” campaign ad. “The advertisement in question falsely and maliciously” quotes Sen. McCain as saying that extending the war in Iraq for 100 years would be fine with him, and places it in a context of images of combat. “Clearly this ad is just another attempt by the DNC to mischaracterize Sen. McCain’s statements.”
Mainly I think they are afraid because the DNC [...]
Full Story... →John McCain’s campaign announced that Mitt Romney will be campaigning for John in Lancaster, PA tomorrow.
Man I hope he gets a bunch of questions about the polygamist Mormons in Eldorado Texas!
If you think working class folks in PA are turned off by Pastor Wright…
Full Story... →An interesting new Gallup Poll asked:
Who do you LEAST want to see elected president this year.
40% – John McCain
36% – Hillary Clinton
20% – Barack Obama
More good news for Obama!
A disturbing side note: 12% of the people who chose Obama did so because they believe (incorrectly) that he is a Muslim.
I’m pretty sure, however, that this won’t translate into any sort of disadvantage when it comes to votes because I’m confident that anyone who believes this nonsense could never actually figure out where their polling place is – or even how [...]
Full Story... →How quickly do you think the likes of Ben Keeler and his cohorts (so very caught up with Obama’s pastors words) will mention this one:
Senator John McCain hailed as a spiritual adviser an Ohio megachurch pastor who has called upon Christians to wage a “war” against the “false religion” of Islam with the aim of destroying it.
I cannot tell you how important it is that we understand the true nature of Islam, that we see it for what it really is. In fact, I will tell you this: I do not believe our country can truly [...]
Full Story... →It’s not often that two things I’m fairly well addicted to converge, but this might be it. I love politics – can’t stay away from it no matter how hard I try. This should be fairly well known to those who have been reading PB over the course of the last 2 1/2 years. I also love college basketball. Not quite as evident, but I probably hinted at it. If you’ve read the about page here then you know that I was born in Louisville, Kentucky and grew up just south of there. There are 3 things in [...]
Full Story... →This:
Made me think of this:
-
oh, and this too:
“John Kerry is a close friend of mine. We have been friends for years,” McCain said Wednesday when pressed to squelch speculation about a Kerry-McCain ticket. “Obviously I would entertain it.”
How much fun is this gonna be? Hillary, come on. Step aside already so we can get the REAL party started!
