A Hole in McCain’s Defense?

If you are looking for honesty and integrity, you are all looking in the wrong place. These are the stars old media presents to you and you can't wait to support "their chosen winners". Who are they to choose the President?

Congressman Ron Paul's record of 20 years of service in the Federal Govt. is squeaky clean and he tells the truth about what is going on in our Government. Wake up people and look at this family man's principles and voting record.

If mccain truly does not remember any of these conversations and incidents then either everyone else is a liar or he is closer to alzheimers than he appears.

McCain should be allowed to defend his integrity - whoops, nothing to defend! It is a sad day when society no longer holds anyone accountable for corruption, lies, double-talk, conspiricy; old media choose him for us? He's also a Democrat in sheeps clothing.

A vote for McCain is four more years of Cheney/Bush/Rove

None of this has anything to do with the honor and integrity of Mr McCain. It is a smear campaign. All politicians when in office or running for office are involved in taking actions which have nothing to do with actions they may have taken to get the FCC or other agencies to act on items which have been brought before them instead of just putting the items on a "waiting list" which is what it appears the deal he is accused of influencing back so many years ago.i

Why are republicans so hateful? But, why does McCain have a handfull of lobbyists for advisors? What additional connections does McCain have to RenziI (the indicted rep from AZ). If McCain is so upright and honest how come he left his first wife for the bimbo he married?

the 8 years of peace was only because our enemies were unchallenged as clinton cut defense and intelligence to the core and did not react when americans were killed by terrorists and the economy was the direct result of the previous administration of george bush which held the line on spending and increased business incentives to profit and employ millions and the budget surplus always lags a few years behind policy which means again the senior bush gave us that gift and not the low life clinton

ON THE MCCAIN STORY, let us at least admit that nobody is perfect. Why were McCain staffers worried enough to try to keep the woman in question from him (according to NYT)? Any favors to the lobbyist? (NYT, Washington Post and Newsweek suggest otherwise). Even on the issue of sex, do people in public office readily admit to anything unless caught red-handed. It took a Kenneth Star to out Bill Clinton. We must not get into this habit of being disarmed once Sen. McCain says "honor and integrity." I find it very interesting that just two days ago, Sen. McCain was engaging in what, according to his own words, amounts to "gutter politics" when he assailed Obama's statement and speeches as "empty". THOSE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULD NOT THROW THE FIRST STONE, they say! REMEMBER THIS STATEMENT? Describing Sen. Obama's statement and speeches as "empty" even when he has advanced many concrete policy positions, many would say, is "gutter politics" and opportunistic. It would have been more honorable to point out where you disagree with him on issues, instead of trying to belittle and marginalize him, which sounds a bit racist. I remember how Sen. McCain felt when the Bush people "fleet-boated" him. He should not be doing it against others, or he will completely lose credibility. He should not be sounding like Bill and Hillary, the new poster couples on gutter-sniping! It is ironic that he now complains against the New York Times. I can???t help wondering whether Mike Huckabee or Romney had anything to do with moving the story along. Who benefits from any fallout? Finally, let???s not get into believing that Sen. McCain is an untouchable because he served his country. His service is great, and must always be acknowledged; but it is no more important than those of thousands of servicemen and women who suffered, even died, in our current and past wars. There should be no ???sacred cow??? in a true democracy where there are competing ideas and sometimes solitudes. Service alone should not imply that one is the best leader for the country even when he has ideas that so many Americans disagree with!

I should like to know how being locked in a windowless cell for 5 years qualifies anyone to lead the free world in crises. Perhaps the experience was helpful in learning to meditate. Can the senator meditate us out of the economic downturn? Or perhaps help cure those without medical insurance?.

How clever... this info has been around for years. Yet, it does not come up until McCain has sealed his nomination as the Republican candidate for President?!?!?!?! Romney is already gone, Huckabee can't pull it off, even without conservative competition, and now that McCain has the delegates, the MUD begins to fly. This is Democratic scheming for sure. If more people had researched McCain's history they would have seen this coming. Yes, he did some very heroic things in the Vietnam war, however as a whole he has lived a life of risky and rebellious behavior. I know a lot of heroic men who have served our country... that does not automatically qualify them to lead our country.
Huckabee hasn't been so honest either.
Too bad we already lost our best hope for an honest candidate (Romney) who was GROSSLY misrepresented by the media.
Is anyone else as disgusted as I am by how the media manipulates, lies and holds their dirtiest cards for just the right moment? I think it is pitiful that we let them get away with it!!!!

Comment: How funny it is to hear liberals talk about how the Republicans don't even want McCain. The last I looked the only candidate of the 3 left who is clearly the pick of their party is McCain. I would take 50 more years of Bush over a party supported by Rosie O, Sean Penn, Bill Mahr, Susan Serandon, Whoopie Goldberg, and anyone from the traitors at the N.Y. Times. Our military will be gutted if Obama is the next President.

=========================

Why do we need to spend almost 3 times more than the rest of the world COMBINED on our military? The paranoid delusions that Fox News and the republicans have brainwashed you and those that belive that this is necessary are wrong and playing into the hands of the corporatist globalist elites that want wars without end to further line their coffers with blood money. 100 more years in Iraq? "Lose, McCain" I say, "LOSE!"

The hole is not a hole and the statements that McCain makes are not matters of under-cover corruption, but rather of citizen/business fair handshake representation that we all demand and argue to get. Stepping in on the behalf of someone else because of their right to do business is the right of a citizen, and to demand that it be done is the need of a citizen that a political representitive must carry out. I am sure if Mrs Obama knew this she would have found this to be something about our country to be proud of durning her adult life.
