John McCain endorses wiretapping without warrants =
http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/06/06/america/06m ...
There's no question John McCain is getting a free ride from the mainstream press. But with the power of YouTube and the blogosphere, we can provide an accurate portrayal of the so-called Maverick. We can put the brakes on his free ride!
Since we first released The Real McCain a year ago, our REAL McCain series has garnered close to 2 million views, with over 13,000 comments and tens of thousands more in petition signatures! Clearly, John McCain's record is something the public wants to discuss, and yet the corporate media is doing NOTHING to present the truth. We feel obliged to continue countering the mainstream media's love of McCain. And so we thought it was high time for a sequel: The Real McCain 2.

- onewomanink, on 06/10/2008, -8/+9Someday, someone ought to gather up the following for Mr. McCain:
1) Every woman forced to into an unwanted, or ill-advised pregnancy...let's say, just in the calendar years 2000-2007;
2) Every woman forced to carry a child because they were either denied birth control, or lied to about their rights and options;
3) Every baby born to these women,
a) Whether they were kept or placed into adoption,
b) Whether they lived lives of poverty, or abuse, or disease, or malnutrition, or were generally treated as unwelcome
Then, these women and babies should be gathered together in a very large room, or stadium (or perhaps more than a few football fields), wherein John McCain, along with every single other insane right-wing politician - who are mostly men, old white men - are forced to face up to their inhumane and arbitrarily-imposed policies, such as that life begins as a zygote (which is the earliest stage of the fertilized egg, after being a blastocyst, but before it becomes an embryo), and therefore all pregnancies MUST be carried to term (regardless of their circumstances, like in the case of rape) because aborting two microscopic cells is MURDER!!!
Mr. McCain, who has flopped and flipped so many times on this issue, and most issues, because his personal beliefs are based on whoever he can PANDER TO at the time; in other words, his belief system is a "What's in it for me?" system, rather than a "How can I be the best public servant possible?" system.
It's important that the truth is told about ANY politician running for office, particularly someone running for the Presidency of the United States. Please visit this much-cited website: http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/1476 ... to fully understand the Real McCain.- PolishLogic, on 06/10/2008, -7/+4I think abortion rights should definitely be broadened.

He thinks AT&T should be doing warrentless wiretaps en-masse as Bush did. He thinks the war will go on many, many years, perhaps even 100. He is 72 by the time he takes office which scares me as Reagan was getting either criminally forgetful or senile in his final years. Lets not do a single-issue campaign like the whole lame 2004 gay marriage thing and forget we're at war, have a ruined economy, the world hates us, we're killing thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, and our electronic voting is scandalously bad yet we keep it.

Is this a bad thing? I'm no McCain supporter, but shouldn't the free-hand of economics decide this one? Unhappy with your insurance company, get another. McCain voted against government interference in business. THAT'S A GOOD THING.
While I appreciate the spirit of this video, this link and the people who Dugg it and commented on it were making knee-jerk reactions. RTFA.
And that girl's a whore. FYI.- FOcast, on 06/11/2008, -4/+3Many insurance companies pay for Viagra-type drugs and not for birth control. Tell me that's fair.
Most people who need help paying for these types of things can't simply "get another" insurance plan, as usually they're only covered through a job plan.- Andrew7, on 06/11/2008, -1/+5The idea of "insurance" is to protect you against unexpected problems (medical problems in the case of health insurance). Viagra type drugs are designed to treat ED, a sudden medical problem that only a fraction of the population experiences and seeks treatment for. Birth control, on the other hand, is a routine preventative measure- its not a surprise, unexpected expense. Therefore, there is no point in insuring people for it (much as insuring someone for food or clothing would be a pointless venture). In fact, its likely that insuring people for birth control would cause the price private individuals pay for it to go up (similar to uninsured patients being charged twice the hospital fees that the insurance companies negotiate for their clients).
- pintomp3, on 06/11/2008, -5/+2the "free-hand of economics" doesn't work for everything. imagine privatized roads, police, and fire protection.

- FOcast, on 06/11/2008, -4/+3Many insurance companies pay for Viagra-type drugs and not for birth control. Tell me that's fair.
- Andrew7, on 06/11/2008, -4/+9I'm voting for Obama, but why the heck should insurance companies have to cover birth control?
Many are private corporations, they should be free to offer the services they choose to offer. If theres demand for birth control (which there is), somebody will meet it and gain a competitive advantage.
I totally support a person's right to use birth control, but isn't it interesting that while we have the right to govern our bodies a privately held company doesn't have the right to govern itself?- eleanorigby, on 06/11/2008, -3/+0because you are already paying out the ass for insurance so you should get your perscription covered. Which, lets not even get into the insurance/perscription cluster *****.
- Andrew7, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2haha, maybe since I'm paying out my ass for gas the station should throw in a free oil change each time I fill up.
And free popcorn at the movies, since those tickets are ridiculous.
Fact is, we live in a free market. If it was possible to provide more service for the same money, somebody would be doing it and kicking the asses of the current insurance companies.

Actually, go ahead and do what I know is going to happen instead, digg me down.
- jarofclay, on 06/11/2008, -0/+3Good point
- twrife, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2Actually, I had the same thought. I could only imagine this being a bad thing if the birth control was prescribed to fight or fix a health problem. I don't often buy birth control so I really don't know what all it is prescribed for, but if it is only prescribed for the aforementioned things, then he should have voted for the legislation.

- elektronjunge, on 06/11/2008, -0/+4Wow, so he vetoed a government sponsored health insurance thing(for lack of a better word). This says nothing about his feelings on birth control just on government interference. Remember for better or worse he doesn't support health care.
