A Hole in McCain’s Defense?

Why do we have to make such a media frenzy over an affair no one says actually happened or a letter he may or may not have writen to help a friend / lobbist? I'm not a McCain supporter - Obama actually - but this just smells of the need to create news to sell papers and false excitement. Doughboy57

So in the matter of corruption, the testimony as stated in the article says McCain did not ask the FCC to approve or deny the sale but instead to simply make a decision. Therefore, there is absolutely no evidence of corruption but perhaps evidence that McCain didn't remember accurately all the details that happened 8 years ago. Readers that don't follow the details closely will remember the accusations and not these facts..

This is sad! Why does every politician lied about something they've done in the past? And to respond to jj2000 about the comment saying "that we gave the nuclear buttons to a clown these past 8 years", is so beyond false! If you recall Bill Clinton was the one who brought these issues to the forefront at the end of his term and George W. Bush was merely responding to these so called accusations of Iraq "having weapons of mass destruction. Unfortunately this poor guy has been treated like a moron for most of his presidency. But everyone fails to see the faults in past presidents. What about Bill Clinton he wasn't a good president at all but yet no one seems to remember his bad choices. I have a close family member that knows a lot about past presidents by working in the white house and has seen it all. Asking him what president did he think was the worst he said hands down it was Bill Clinton! And he has been a part of presidents Reagen until the year 2006 with Pres. Bush. All Mr. Clinton do was sign a bunch of laws that ended up hurting people that needed assistance or money from the government. I think he spent more time cheating on his wife, I feel bad for him but if we get McCain in office I'm afraid we're just going to get another Bill Clinton. And unfortunately the only good Republican candidate, Mitt Romney, decided to end his run. So now I am fully supporting OBAMA! He is very smart, and seems to be an all aroung decent guy. GO OBAMA!

Once again we are expected to accept a story from The New York Times, from an ANON. SOURCE, that the allegations again McCain are true. What a CROCK. The ultra-leftist Times has been caught before using sources and stories that were later proven false. Then trying, unsuccesfully, in my mind, to slide out of responsibility by suggesting the reporter on the story was at fault. Come on people, we, and McCain, could bring up lots of allegations about Hilary and Barack that would prove just as false. Although I doubt we would see them in the Times.

tboone - John McCain's arms were seriously damaged as a POW in the Viet Nam war, so think about what this guy did for us befor you open your snarky mouth again. I quote the king of Spain, "Porque no te callas?"
In case an ignorant idiot like you doens't know Spanish, it means, why don't you just shut up?

to Rubensr, It could certainly get worse. Much worse. We don't need a neo-phyte getting his on the job training in the highest office of the land in the most powerful country in the world.

This is totally unfair. Why hasn't the New York Times or any mainstream media do a story on Obama and his alleged lover Larry Sinclair ? Just because he is a black man and nobody can criticize him without being labeled as racist?

The liberal media will do whatever it takes to get a Democrat in the Whitehouse.

In a presidential election, all is fair when digging into their lives, however, I feel you may have jumped the gun a bit. First, with all of the stalled bills in Congress, it is common for many senators to call and ask what is going on with a bill and to strongly urge that the bill be brought to the floor for an up or down vote. No harm/no foul. The true corruption is not in McCain's calling, if he did, but in Congress "Stalling" legitimate bills that need to go forward. There are almost a hundred judges that COngress is stalling on. It is unconstitutional and totally corrupt to hold these judges because they might be "too" conservative, or to hold them hostage because they want to use this stalling as a bargaining chip. That is dirty, dishonest politicing at its core.
If McCain is guilty of wrongdoing, then you need to investigate, but reporting should be done after thorough examination of the facts, which you didn't do.
I am amazed that you would focus on this rather than on Hillary Clinton's rise to power and the more than 40 people who mysteriously died who were affiliated with the Clinton's ascent to power. This is huge. This is egregious and it amazes me that American's wouldn't demand a full, thorough investigation of the facts surrounding these allegations. She is not fit for the White House.
I also want to know how Hillary pulled off becoming New York Senator when she was a resident of ARkansas, and a temporary resident of D.C. When you run for office, there are strict requirements for residency. Why aren't you investigating these facts and exposing them? I want to know an exact timeline and see the paperwork to prove it.
The public also needs to know the voting records of each candidate. Publish them. Let us see every bill they voted on and how they voted. That is critical information about their character. It will reveal how they will handle their responsibilities in the White House.
We also need to see line by line campaign finance reports. We need to know who is backing these candidates and what will be expected of them in the White House.
If Obama has any ties to any Muslim extremist groups, even peripherally, he would be a danger to America. If there are any ties to Louis Farrakan, then he is not worthy of sitting in the Oval Office.
Go do some real digging, some real investigating and then report the truth and the facts.
Forget what these politicians are saying. It's just rhetoric to get into the most powerful office in the land.
Let's look at their track records and see their true colors.
