John McCain endorses wiretapping without warrants =

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.

John_McCain_is_confused - DucoNihilum, on 06/11/2008, -1/+11My... what?
I am a digger, after all. - Jambi, on 06/11/2008, -0/+9Would it really be better if authoritarian women were ordering them around? The problematic word here is "authoritarian", not "MEN", as you seem to think.
- waeladi, on 06/10/2008, -4/+13With a population of about 300M, this is the best the Republicans can do? What a sorry person for any job position, let alone POTUS!

A mirror will be appreciated. - bezshai, on 06/11/2008, -2/+10This ad makes a pretty big leap in heavily implying that McCain is against birth control (and by extension a woman's right to choose what to do with her own body). Please explain to me how voting against requiring insurance companies to cover prescription birth control equates to McCain being against a woman using birth control. Actually, go ahead and do what I know is going to happen instead, digg me down.
- TheCarDude, on 06/10/2008, -1/+8this geezer doesn't stand a chance
- RichardHendrix, on 06/11/2008, -1/+8don't worry diggers, I wikipediad (yes, it is a verb) it:
Girlfriend: either a female partner in a non-marital romantic relationship or a female non-intimate friend.
~anytime~ - nblsavage, on 06/11/2008, -4/+10Sorry it isn't murder any more than getting a haircut is and repeating a lie doesn't make it the truth.
- Evolutuon, on 06/11/2008, -2/+8Down with the babyboomers!!
- ocellnuri, on 06/11/2008, -0/+6I wish we could avoid this type of sensationalism crap on both sides of the debates.
- Castlekeep, on 06/10/2008, -8/+14Women! Wake up! Have you not had enough of patriarchal, authoritarian MEN telling you what to do with YOUR body? Women, under 40 especially, need to beware this man. You have no idea how hard-fought it was to give you rights over your body and now you want to give them away to this jerk? Get a damn grip!
- djcreamy, on 06/11/2008, -6/+12"McCain voted against a bill forcing insurance companies to pay for birth control expenses."
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. - holyhackerness, on 06/11/2008, -3/+8McCain is bad for so many reasons. This is hardly the worst he does. He thinks the Bush idea of Executive Power overriding all is good. 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.
McCain is status quo, 8 more years of Bush. Vote against it. Fight the future. - 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? - indiegirl7, on 06/10/2008, -7/+12Further proof we need Obama as president.
- 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).
- ihatehippies, on 06/11/2008, -0/+4do they owe us a living?
- morninglorii, on 06/11/2008, -0/+4I can't believe there were so many comments before one like this.
- Dysarthria, on 06/11/2008, -0/+4Wow, that's one ***** video. Why not just paint a Hitler mustache on McCain and have him driving pregnant women into pools of acid?
BTW, presidents do not make laws concerning abortion or birth control. - 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. Anyone who thinks this ad/attack is worth any merit clearly is hopelessly biased and needs to open there eyes to the fact that not everything that is not Obama nor Paul is not evil. (gawd to many confusing negatives!)
- seneca, on 06/11/2008, -1/+4The video and then the message at the end are really unrelated as far as I'm concerned...
and yeah... McCain is a republican.. why would he vote for that? I'm afraid crap like this is going to create a backlash ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOnotYGsQ-M ) and get McCain elected... - jarofclay, on 06/11/2008, -0/+3Good point
- JaxDomino, on 06/10/2008, -2/+5You get what you ask for.
- mal1964, on 06/11/2008, -1/+4So the ***** what.
- ZeroOrDie, on 06/11/2008, -2/+5This video has been removed by the user.
- cme884, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2He's too old to be a babyboomer.
- cnot3, on 06/11/2008, -1/+3I'm pleased to see that most of digg isn't accepting this sensationalist *****. I don't support McCain or Obama, but I am tired of constantly seeing extremely positively biased articles for Obama and extremely negatively biased articles for McCain on the front page. Neither of them will make that great of a president, get over it.
- chrissku, on 06/11/2008, -1/+3Right on! Simply put...yet I couldn't say it better.
Obama 08 - pintomp3, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/ALERT_John_Mccai ...
It seems after Mccain's horrible speech Tuesday night, his staff is making an extra effort to pull as many Youtube videos of him as possible... - 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.

- leonidas333, on 06/11/2008, -3/+5WHAT THE HELL!!!
Why is it any video with John McDick taken down as soon as they are put up?? - inactive, on 06/10/2008, -0/+2http://www.flickr.com/photos/huntergather/94478813 ...
kinda nsfw - GrownupPhan, on 06/10/2008, -0/+2Thanks. I was getting the broken link message.
- 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. - pintomp3, on 06/11/2008, -1/+3only in some sects of christianity is life considered to start at conception. in islam it is when the bones form, in judaism some believe it is after 40 days while others believe it is at birth. why should everyone have to live by your specific religious beliefs? should pork be banned because muslims don't eat it? should all businesses be closed on saturday because jews don't work then? we have separation of church and state for a reason.

someone took the original one down - Paulish, on 06/11/2008, -2/+4You have proven nothing. My government roads have potholes that ***** my car up, my government police want to ***** ME up. And firefighters are often funded by donations using volunteers, and only loosely run by the state. Thank god firefighting isn't handled by an agency like FEMA.

- gannondork, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2I had my account deleted by youtube over a copy of bombbombbomb iran made it to several blogs.
- wishninja, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2If birth control should be free so should my contact lenses. ***** it I have a great idea! just make everything free and ill sign my entire paycheck over to the insurance companies. Because its not communism if a private insurance company pays for it instead of the government, right? Obama is worst case because I feel pinned forced to chose republican (kill em all) or Obama (communism).
- pilot3033, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2it's a southpark joke, don't get so offended down-diggers.
- iie.wakarimasen, on 06/11/2008, -1/+3ok logically thinking, i dont see anything wrong with the end statement of Mccain not supporting the responsibilities of birth control options on health insurance. If Marijuana is fully legalized, it doesnt mean that we can all say the expence should be covered by our health insurers (apart from truly medical marijuana). If you think about birth control, it is somewhat of a commodity in that respect. if someone smokes 10 packs a day and the health insurer is aware of that, its not wrong to as a private business, to raise prices or even decline service. they're both preventable conscious decisions with consequences, good or bad.
- lazlonger, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2look up
- inactive, on 06/10/2008, -0/+1um...?
- tntgs, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1Buried for "patriarchal, authoritarian MEN" label. You seem to imply that all men are out to legislate abortion, which isn't true.
