The GOP front runner denies report of lobbyist tie.
Comment: I think that what is good for the goose is good for the gander. They publically humiliated Bill Clinton not to mention Hill, and talked about impeachment. Why is his name still on the ballad? May be had real sex may be "didn't have real sex" but more than liky he had something inappropiate with Iseman. American people don't have time to find out.
Comment: Of course Mccain didn't , "do it ". He wasn't taking viagra then........I would like to say i have respect for Senator Mccain, his patriotism just tugs ant my heart and his concern for humanity. I was really moved by his comment for Castro, that, Castro wold die soon and go on to meet Karl Marx. This statement had me in tears. I to have hopes, I hope that Mccain will get out of the Race for the White House and go on to his, Assisted Living Facility, Even though I am confident that his 30 some years of incompetence will change Washington..........our loss but I think we will survive...John.... I'm sure Vicki Iseman will find another "Friend", to replace you.
Comment: The leaders of both the Republican and Democratic Parties are moving us closer and closer to Socialism, away from our Constitution (the true Test of American Patriotism). Both major parties pushed through the Patriot Act (a direct violation of our civil liberties) allowing the Federal government (and the lawmakers) greater access in to our personal lives. We have welfare, medicare, and medicaid, all basically federal government subsidies for Americans as a socialist distribution of wealth and commodities. Then, we have the continuation of undeclared War (a direct violation of our Constitution), allowing the President (or socialist leader) the ability to unilaterally decide whether our country (our Americans) go fight in another country using military resources and costing volunteer military lives.
The very core values of America that the founding fathers of our country laid out for us are being destroyed, and our nation is moving in a perilous direction. The American people need to Wake up from their Slumber, and start helping educate their fellow Americans that we are not Socialists, but in fact we are a Nation of Patriots (people who live by and die for civil liberty as well as individual rights).
Our country sorely needs a third party that will rejuvinate and unify the 40% of Americans that usually don't vote, to overcome the two party system of the Socialist Democrats and Socialist Republicans. Individuals always care for other individuals through charity and good deeds, the Federal government steals from individuals to line the pockets of the Corporations and maintain power for itself, leaving whatever remains recycled back to the American people.
Stop sleep walking into Socialism --- Wake up and fight for our Founding Fathers core values of freedom and equality for all! Freedom from the Federal government intervention! Freedom from excessive taxation!
Comment: "There's only "a dime's worth of difference" between the Republican and Democratic parties, and they're fighting over that dime! "
Obama, Clinton, McCain, Huckabee --
1. All voted to continue funding the Iraq War.
2. All support "comprehensive immigration reform" -- Washington speak for Amnesty for illegal aliens. They want their big corporation buddies to be happy now don't they with their cheap labor. Meanwhile we pay higher taxes to offset the burden that would put on Social security, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare. If you subsidize something you get more of it, the more we subsidize illegal immigration the more we will get of it, and the more illegal alien families will be affected and hurt.
3. All wish to enact some socialist program or another for the "greater good" -- Translation, we want you to pay higher taxes so we (the federal government) can spend it in the way that benefits our special interest group. Obama (Health care insurance companies), Clinton ( Pharmaceuticals), McCain (Military industrial complex including all military corporations), Huckabee (Military industrial complex).
4. All are for reforming Washington and ridding it of government and lobbyist control (well so they say).
5. All support the Patriot Act (a direct violation of our civil liberties)
Comment: This election season has nothing to do with platforms and politics it's merely a case study in generational ideologies. It seems to me a lot people can't seem to wrap their head around the fact that younger generations do not put up with ignorant obsolete sanctimonious old people because we don't have to. You guys (i.e. ignorant, prejudiced, scared of everyone that isn't white and speaks english fogeys)...(republicans) do nothing but get in the way of progress, oh and by the way in case you didn't realize it yet it isn't your country anymore, it's ours now. You guys (you know who you are, see above if you are confused) have, since day one made decisions based on fears and prejudices that your parents believed in or maybe a preacher taught you or perhaps were generally accepted in the time period when you grew up, I'm sorry but we just don't do that anymore you guys are done and if you don't think so you will have your pompous high and mighty name run through the mud until you understand that you are nothing more than a regular flawed person just like the rest of us. Most people in their 20's and 30's and 40's are not going to vote for McCain for one simple reason, fear tactics don't work on us, sorry Mac. You guys will never get it and you need to, you see pious right wing evangelical fear mongering is over with now. It was like communism, sure it had its heyday, and it worked when people were poor and ignorant, but had no staying power because its success was dependent on keeping people stupid and afraid. Consider swallowing that big bitter pill of reality and recognize (as soon as possible) that hating, killing, prejudice, and bigotry was a defining characteristics of YOUR generation not ours. Your time has passed.
Comment: bigbrewhaha -- At fifty-six and counting, I am well aware that I am on the wrong side of your generational divide; and that whether or not any individual on my side of that divide is guilty of the sins you enumerate, the generation as a whole most certainly is. At the very least, we have allowed the current sad state of affairs to flourish after fighting our own good fights in our youth; perhaps, like those who fought WWII, each generation has the stamina to fight one war and one war only, and is too exhausted by that one war to do more than take the easiest path offered thereafter. That is neither an apology nor an excuse -- it is just the way I think things go.
Naturally, our failures have rendered any lessons we think we have learned or advice we might wish to impart would be presumptuous -- we screwed the pooch, end of story.
So I personally will confine mself to one warning, for whatwhat it is worth, based on a lifetime study of history and the people around me in public and private life: If you let your genertion be talked into the shifting of a useless war in Iraq into a useless war in Afghanistan by anyone at all, no matter how charismatic or trusted, you will have been had; and it wiill be you, then, who preside over the destruction of whatever is left of this nation.
Best of luck to y'all -- believe I'll just go on out to pasture now ...
(Sorry about any typos. My little window here shows only five lines; after that it's by guess and by golly ... )
Comment: Another liberal libel, citing anonymous and unsubstantiated souces, much like Dan Rather and his made-up documents about Bush's military service. NYTimes did McCain a huge favor. There's nothing that'll galvanize Republicans behind McCain like the smear campaign like this conducted by the likes of NY Times.
Comment: Hillary, can you please console Mccain's wife and explain to her how to pick up the peices. I'm sure she is devestated.
Comment:
Affairs of the heart, dirty lobbyist deals? So what else is new? Now will we have to listen to McCain with that warped gallows grin??? ???well my friends, now for a little straight c_ _ k! I guess the only thing we can conclude is that he may still has some lead in his pencil and therefore, he maybe isn???t too old for the oval office ala Clinton?
McCain as a viable GOP candidate is a complete sham and a product of the mainstream media orchestrated "making and breaking" of the candidates in the 2008 political drama farce so called "election coverage". As the anointed GOP victor of the ???race??? the media giveth him the GOP nomination and the media can taketh away. The ancient chump has served his purpose and what is really sick is that he is too stupid and egotistical to realize he is just a sorry pawn in the game. What a maroon!
He never was a conservative. No true conservative would ever consider voting for him! His record speaks for itself. McCain is DC big government establishment tainted to the core from the same elite clubs as Hillary, Giuliani, Obama, Romney and so on. McCain is a dyed in the wool globalist just like the others and nothing will change with any of these clowns if elected??? and now with copious amounts of McCain???s ???straight c_ _ k??? you know we are all getting the shaft!!

Comment: Not a good year to be connected with anything at all that smacks of "business as usual" -- even for "straight-talking maverick" John McCain ...
Current personalities aside, I find it interesting that the nation underwent, almost exactly a century ago, a similar revulsion of feeling against corporate political influence, ethics (or lack thereof), and stupendous indifference to the well-being of the United States as a whole. This was the era of the so-called "muckrakers"; the hey-day of the Reformers; and the rise of Teddy Roosevelt -- the man who insisted, even as they reviled him, that he was only trying to save corporate capitalists from the consequences of their own wretched excesses. And quite a show it was. Thousands were swept from office on this tide, absolutely dumbstruck that yesterday???s business-as-usual -- that which ???everybody???s doing, and has always done??? -- had become, almost overnight, a political hanging offense.
Too bad for them, and for their contemporary counterparts. If it is true that local and national politics inevitably seek the most comfortable version humanly available of pigs feeding at the trough, it is also true that there is an equally inevitable periodic attempt by a long-suffering public to just slaughter all those hogs, so to speak, at one fell swoop ... and that somebody is gonna be holding the bag when when that day comes due.
That???s just the United States of America, for you -- damnedest place I ever heard of ... and the best ...

Comment: The Right-Wing Pundits would like us to believe that this happened 8 years ago and that we should forget about it. Well, where there is smoke, there is usually fire. McCain, who claims to have been just friends with this gal (a lobbyist for the telecommunications) just voted for retro-immunity for the Telecommunications who broke the law in supplying information on their users . He has missed a lot of votes in the Senate while campaigning for president; yet, he made time for this vote. Sounds to me like the smoke is getting thicker???.

Comment: I think that there may be something to this story, as the Washington Post is adding more to it. I don't really care who McCain sleeps with, but this business of giving preferential treatment to a lobbyist because of it, is very troubling indeed and yes, he is a war hero. But where are his ethics.....?
Comment: Senator McCain's heroic and sustained service to all of us should trump everything. For that alone, he deserves our respect and honor. He is an honorable, even a noble man.
Comment: Senator McCain's heroic and sustained service to our country trumps everything. For that alone, he is an honorable man and deserves our highest respect.
Comment: Hope this is not true! Usually where there is smoke, there is fire and everyone knows that McCain dated a stripper when he was in Navy training. Who knows? It is a sad day for McCain and for the nation; we don't need more trouble!
Comment: Bush-McCain in trouble after lying for too long:
Cut taxes for wealthiest 1%
Give Tax breakes for Oild companies making record profits every quarter!
Keep on fighting Iraq war for another 100 years!
The middle class problems are their own making and therefore nothing to do if he succeeds Goerge W. Bush!
Comment: "Reporters that asks questions of John McCain or any other person need to ask direct questions.
1- Has McCain's wife ever physically met Iseman and if not, has McCain ever mentioned her before any of the inquiries started?
2- Has McCain had any contact w/Iseman outside of a working environment (i.e. an office or a fund raising gathering)
3- Has McCain ever hugged or kissed Ms. Iseman whether it be out of kindness, happiness or sorrow?
4- Has McCain ever been alone (w/o any aids or associates ) with Ms. Iseman?
These questions would probably answer the relationship aspect and much more if they had been asked.
Comment: McCain is passive-agressive, therefore the smiling!
