- rathodsa, on 10/01/2008, -1/+67No more Bush, no more neocons, no more wannabes for President!
- coltrane68, on 10/02/2008, -0/+64Digg this to the top - it may be the most important article on the site at this time.
- texasred54, on 10/02/2008, -1/+63It is simple. We do not owe McCain the White House because he was a POW. He's already got ten houses. And, Americans are losing their homes...due to his party.
- inactive, on 10/02/2008, -0/+54Great article and extremely difficult to deny.
- PattySoandSo, on 10/02/2008, -0/+52To anyone who can read -- McCain supporter or no -- this is a must-read, like never before.
Heck, I thought I knew all about the guy. Was I ever wrong? Used to kind of like him and admire him in the way-back. Was this ever eye-opening. - seanseamour, on 10/02/2008, -0/+52Thinking of voting McCain-Palin? The following link may cure forever any urge to vote McCain, see for yourself "Make-Believe Maverick" by Tim Dickinson. http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/make_b ...
Even if you only accept a small part of this investigative report, after this you will understand the duplicitous and mischievous construct of John McCain's campaign.
To all the Republicans out there, surely you cannot aspire to let this ticket reach the White House, it would be cause for reckless endangerment of your fellow citizens to facilitate such an outcome. Surely those who are proud of the values and traditions of this badly Bush/Cheney battered party cannot further discredit their heritage with the spectacle offered.
Send the link as afar as possible so other may form a better documented opinion - agent89, on 10/01/2008, -0/+51McCain: "I'll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital."
Whoah. - jazmatician, on 10/01/2008, -0/+51Lizardface McNasty indeed. Watch him stick his tongue out 50 times while he denies everything in this article.
- swahlstrom, on 10/03/2008, -0/+42The most damning part of this article, is so much of the story is in John McCains own words!
A must read. He cannot be allowed to lead this nation. - LooseFur, on 10/02/2008, -0/+39This article is a truly frightening insight into McCain and why he should never run the White House under any circumstances.
No wonder he doesn't have any real friends.
And no, Lindsay Graham does not count, for reasons too numerous to list. - levicro, on 10/03/2008, -1/+29
there have been so many neocon lies in the email lately.. guess I will be sending this out to all those wavering on the edge... that should do the trick... the truth will set us free..... - Frost55, on 10/03/2008, -0/+28You know, if he were half of what he claims to be, it would be different, but he is, like Bush before him, someone who'll promise anything to get what he wants, and the guy behind that mask is way scarier than Bush. Anybody who can shift their positions and opinions with such ease and then deny they every saw things any other way...cannot be trusted with power. Any power.
- aookay, on 10/05/2008, -0/+27Wow, great read, definitly going to buy this issue.
I can't wait for the McCain camp Spin to this. I'll assume they will discredit the author and say it's all outrageous though. - Dndlion, on 10/04/2008, -0/+26I find McCain totally disgusting. Worse than Bush, even. No, I guess not worse, but it's very close.
- Terisita, on 10/03/2008, -1/+25I don't want two incompetent make belief Mavericks in the Whitehouse,, we already had a village idiot from Texas. Palin should run for the Secretary of the Interior of Iwrack, she is certainly not for American voters.
- Proel, on 10/02/2008, -4/+27Rolling Stone is a magazine, Rolling StoneS is a band, and it doesn't do investigative reporting (good music though).
Good article, though, lots of ammunition. - nerdcoregirl, on 10/05/2008, -1/+23FTA:
...both colleges sponsor a trip abroad for young officers to network with military and political leaders in a distant corner of the globe.
"I'm going to the Middle East," Dramesi says. "Turkey, Kuwait, Lebanon, Iran."
"Why are you going to the Middle East?" McCain asks, dismissively.
"It's a place we're probably going to have some problems," Dramesi says.
"Why? Where are you going to, John?"
"Oh, I'm going to Rio."
"What the hell are you going to Rio for?"
McCain, a married father of three, shrugs.
"I got a better chance of getting laid." - smitty97, on 10/04/2008, -1/+23DIGG THIS UP PEOPLE!
- Deoliver47, on 10/05/2008, -0/+21Please spread this article far and wide. Kudos to Rolling Stone for vetting McCain. Now lets see if any of the mainstream media outlets cites this.
- PancakeCity, on 10/05/2008, -0/+19This article could be titled "Everything You Know About McCain Is Wrong"
- LainyD, on 10/05/2008, -1/+18What a sad, scary man. He should not be allowed near the White House. Send this article to eveyone you know!
- Baconbuyer, on 10/05/2008, -0/+14McSame as Bush: more true than anyone knows. It's like they literally led the same pampered, failure-laden lives. Only McCain comes off WORSE than Bush in this article. Shocking.
- NWTerriD, on 10/05/2008, -0/+14
Um, why not?
I think true information, from direct and reliable sources, about a dangerous candidate whose real character and history have long been shrouded in myth, is EXACTLY what we need right now, as we head into the most important election this country has seen in decades, since at least the Great Depression, if not the Civil War.
By what standards do you think otherwise? - NWTerriD, on 10/05/2008, -0/+14I take it, then, that you have evidence that contradicts the massive supporting evidence that the investigative reporter put together in researching this story?
- JenniferInMO, on 10/06/2008, -0/+12My husband and I have subscribed to Rolling Stone for years. It is one of the few sources of good, solid, shoe-leather-hits-the-pavement journalism. The stories chosen are geared toward mostly progressive readers, but when they take on a story it is thorough and reputable.
- ZenMojo, on 10/06/2008, -0/+12"The Original Neocon." From his mouth to our ears, they should really put that in an ad and bring his supporters down to Earth.
- elwior, on 10/05/2008, -1/+13Wow, jusy wow!
- bonars, on 10/05/2008, -0/+11This is a fantastic article, and I am going to send it to everyone I know.
- kteachums, on 10/05/2008, -1/+11Wow, my WV friends will love this! Yeeeeee Hawwwwww!!!!!!
I wonder if he has a woman in every house? I've been single for 15 years girls.
I had this guy figured out since day #1.
Obama/Biden
He can't even hold a candle to them. Won't the preachers be surprised? Where is the list of preachers that endorsed this guy? - iandflp, on 10/02/2008, -0/+10I know, sorry about that.
- sofraser1, on 10/06/2008, -0/+9This is one scary guy. Everyone should have to read this article before they can vote. The fact that Obama hasn't slammed him with this kind of stuff shows that Obama is the only one in this election that is taking the high road. Lets hope the American people see McCain for the low-life he really is.
- lncb2u, on 10/06/2008, -1/+9We can't let him have it!
- AdInventive, on 10/06/2008, -0/+8This was one scathing article. I don't know how anyone could go and vote for McCain having read it. If you're one of those people and are reading this, do the research yourself. Look into it all. It's truth.
- leandromo, on 10/06/2008, -0/+7This is a superb article. An absolute must-read.
- zedkitty, on 10/06/2008, -1/+8get down to your local campaign headquarters and volunteer...you will make a huge impact..yes, little old you!
- emseesee, on 10/06/2008, -0/+5In September 2002, McCain assured Americans that the war would be "fairly easy" with an "overwhelming victory in a very short period of time." On the eve of the invasion, Hardball host Chris Matthews asked McCain, "Are you one of those who holds up an optimistic view of the postwar scene? Do you believe that the people of Iraq, or at least a large number of them, will treat us as liberators?"
McCain was emphatic: "Absolutely. Absolutely."
Today, however, McCain insists that he predicted a protracted struggle from the outset. "The American people were led to believe this could be some kind of day at the beach," he said in August 2006, "which many of us fully understood from the beginning would be a very, very difficult undertaking." McCain also claims he urged Bush to dump Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. "I'm the only one that said that Rumsfeld had to go," he said in a January primary debate. Except that he didn't. Not once. As late as May 2004, in fact, McCain praised Rumsfeld for doing "a fine job." - G1980, on 10/07/2008, -0/+4I didn't like the dude for various reasons to begin with. But man, if 1/10 of the stories in that article are correct, I am convinced this man is pure, unadulterated evil.

"Why are you going to the Middle East?" McCain asks, dismissively.

You are my new favorite person on Digg. =D - LilaMae217, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2Wow...I never knew what a spoiled little sociopath Mccain is. He calls his wife a ***** in front of a room full of reporters...what a ***** prick.
- rnh556, on 10/08/2008, -0/+2The prospect of this man becoming the next president of the United States should scare the hell out of every American! Thank you Rolling Stone for this article!
- rbrinega, on 10/07/2008, -0/+2The only place for McCain to respond to this is Spin Magazine [;-)]
- Alheithinn, on 10/09/2008, -0/+2Absolutely essential reading. The real McCain is an ugly thing indeed. Rolling Stone has done America a real favor. This story needs to be read by everyone before election day. It demonstrates that John McCain is guilty of everything he has accused Obama of being.
- tharju, on 10/06/2008, -0/+2thank you. my email subject line to my republican coworkers will be just that.
- robodok, on 10/13/2008, -0/+1Wanker
- itsabigworld, on 10/24/2008, -0/+1Definitely worth reading.
- robodok, on 10/13/2008, -0/+1Exactly the problem I had with Hillary after witnessing her campaign
- robodok, on 10/13/2008, -0/+1> I think he should be a prisoner at Gitmo,he is a American terrorist!!
Isn't that being a wee bit extreme? A humiliating defeat in November is all I ask for. - citizenrobot, on 10/15/2008, -0/+1This article had a lot more nasty business than it than I expected, seriously. I found myself shocked every so once in a while. That he would call his wife the C-word in front of people?
