A Hole in McCain’s Defense?

Why are you wasting space on this when there are so many more things to report about. Are we all just dying to here about someone cheating on their wife or using famous quotes from previous speeches to support their speech that they are giving. By the way the person who said "We have nothing to fear but fear itself" was Winston Churchill. So let's get on with life and from now on polygraph all canidates or better yet send them to the CIA for interrogation prior to running, then we would not have to waste our time hearing about it and can focus on the real items they stand for. Oh by the way did they ever find the hidden passages that JFK used to bring in his mistresses in the White House? Enough!!!

Drop this story already and apologize to McCain. You've already cleared McCain's name in this story when you quoted him as saying:
McCain: "That he had applied to purchase this station and that he wanted to purchase it. And that there had been a numerous year delay with the FCC reaching a decision. And he wanted their approval very bad for purposes of his business. I said, 'I would be glad to write a letter asking them to act, but I will not write a letter, I cannot write a letter asking them to approve or deny, because then that would be an interference in their activities. I think everybody is entitled to a decision. But I can't ask for a favorable disposition for you'."

Clearly shows no favorism. Didn't write or act on what the lobbyist was asking from him.

he NYT is doing its job and should continue it for ALL persons seeking and in public office. The candidates and their handlers will never agree that it is fair. Their supporters, Dems and Republicans, will scream and shout and always claim bias. REPORT, REPORT, REPORT. That is the best service the press can do for the American people.

There are thousands of "stalled" bills being held hostage in Congress. The actual corruption is within COngress for "stalling" these bills that need to go to floor and receive an up or down vote. If Senator McCain called and asked what was going on with the bill and urged them to vote on it, I see nothing morally or ethically wrong with this action.
What I find utterly amazing is that 40 people mysteriously died during the Clinton's ascent to power and you are not digging and exposing how they died, why they died, and why so many associated with the Clinton's? Those are serious, albeit deadly allegations and the people really want the answers to these questions.
Hillary Clinton was not a resident of NY when she ran for New York Senator. What is the exact time line for her move to New York, her establishing candidacy requirements in order to be eligible to run?
I ran for House of Delegates in WV and had to be a confirmed resident of the state for 3 years before being eligible to run. Why aren't you focusing on this and exposing this? Was her New York Senatorial Stint a complete fraud?
The public also wants to know a blow by blow of exactly how McCain, Huckabee, Clinton, and Obama voted on all the issues. Publish that and expose where they really stand on issues.
Barak Obama may or may not have strong ties to Muslim groups. Is Louis Farrakan one of his supporters? It appears Oprah WInfrey only donated $2500 to his campaign.
We need a complete, publicized accounting of every financial contribution made to each candidates campaign.
I put no credence in what any of these candidates says. Their political rhetoric means nothing.
Let's see their voting records, their campaign contributions reports, and down to the finest spec of dust, let's examine their lives, all of them, not one of them, all of them down to the finest detail.
Let's also put the quesitons to the public: Do you want to know these things?
How do you suggest America go about ending the war in Iraq?
How do we decrease the size and power of government and put the power back into the hands of the people?
It seems to me the New York Times Article should have been much more stringent on doing their research before going public with such inflamatory information. It also seems that if you want to go after McCain for making a phone call, you really need to go after Hillary for her gross abuses of power. You need to go after Obama and make sure there are absolutely no Muslim extremist ties to his campaign or life. If there are, 911 will seem like a child's fairy tale compared to what will happen to America should Obama prove to support Muslim views.
Please wake up and start doing your job with diligence and professionalism, without bias. Go for the truth and you won't go wrong. People will trust your reporting.
