- AmericanElitist, on 09/12/2008, -10/+79"The McCain campaign's lies make it clear that John McCain would rather lose his integrity than lose this election."
- SheilaNoya, on 09/12/2008, -6/+67At this point, I think it's pretty safe to honestly say that McCain has already lost his integrity.
However, don't underestimate the stupidity or gullibility of Republican voters. They never seemed to care about integrity or honesty in the past and I don't see that changing much. All they need to satisfy them is false patriotism and a few mentions of God. Wave a flag and a cross at them and they'll believe any lie you tell them. - cg4et, on 09/12/2008, -6/+53Since John McCain has neither integrity nor honor, he really has nothing left to lose. He is a man who has, by the way he has run his campaign, has demonstrated a complete lack of respect for the office of the Presidency and the voters he is trying to persuade.
- marytnurse, on 09/12/2008, -10/+56omg that is HYS-terical!! TY O campaign for bringing it back to the ISSUES!!!
- jlee2081, on 09/12/2008, -6/+41there is a joke in here somewhere...
"...his running mate has requested more pork per person than any governor in America -- including $2 million to study the mating patterns of crabs." - grinsy, on 09/13/2008, -2/+36you mean like..."Palin porked by congress and gets crabs?"
- rz8472, on 09/13/2008, -1/+22well if you go to impartial fact check sites like www.factcheck.org, you'll find 8 McCain factchecks for every Obama factcheck. Not to mention that each McCain factcheck has material that is far more inaccurate than the Obama factchecks.
The Repugs are just out and out lying. - Ajajadude, on 09/13/2008, -1/+18Anyone who was paying attention 4 years ago could tell you this isn't the McCain of old. This is a McCain willing to sell every bit of his integrity just to be able to gather mainstream conservative Republican support. Remember, McCain wasn't a good enough Republican to get the nomination before.
- TheAmazingBob, on 09/13/2008, -6/+20Well he's losing both.
- charm803, on 09/13/2008, -2/+14Wait. I thought he was an elitist? Since when do they hang out with the homies?
Can you please make up your mind, I'm having a hard time keeping track. - AFelsinger, on 09/13/2008, -5/+15Fantastic line.
- VinnieDaMac, on 09/13/2008, -0/+10If by inaccurate BS, you're talking about the McCain ad, then yes I agree with you.
- MLisa, on 09/13/2008, -1/+10If you want him to lose this election, or not, register to vote. You can get the forms on-line and mail them by Sept. 20th. This could well be the most important election our country has ever had!!!!
Free speech, free thought, exercise your privilege to VOTE!!!!
If you don't vote, then don't bitch about it later. - MLisa, on 09/13/2008, -5/+13Being caught as a POW may or may not make a person a 'hero.' It sure as hell does not give them qualifications for President of the US. That is something that needs to be earned by intelligence, experience and education, not chance.
So, if Obama had been a POW you would blindly vote for him??
Look at the issues. Look at their values. Check their records.
McCain threw in Palin to grab the women's vote. We are not sheep. That woman does not even represent family values. Look at how she is using her kids for the "pity me" vote. What in the hell is that baby doing out in the audience with all the cameras, noise, lights on him??? No compassionate mother would subject their child to that kind of torture. She is making him a POW of the Republican party. She is using her kids as pawns.
Fu*k that Palin Witch! - ErickStevenson, on 09/13/2008, -3/+11Hey I have respect for Ron Paul but calling people fools won't win you votes.
- DownIsTheNewUp, on 09/13/2008, -3/+101. Reverend Wright
2. "OMG NO EXPERIENCE"
3. OMG IS HE A SECRET MUSLIM?" - chrissku, on 09/13/2008, -12/+19Please vote for McCain so he can finish ***** up our country for George Bush.
- novenator, on 09/13/2008, -4/+11I had respect for McCain back in 2000. He slowly began a spiral of degradation leading up to his fiery and unforgivable speech at the republican natl convention in 2004, where he virtually accused John F Kerry of being a traitor. That was the hoop he had to jump through to get the nod for the nomination in 2008, and he has been selling out ever since. McCain lost any sense of being a maverick or having integrity over 4 years ago.
- Gerz1219, on 09/13/2008, -0/+6Obama wanted children to know that being molested is wrong! That's not sex education by any definition, it's an inarguable effort to protect children from predators. McCain is LYING. He's not stretching the truth or distorting the facts or making errors of omission. He is saying things that are objectively false.
And yes, Obama did stretch McCain's line about Iraq. That's expected in a political campaign. What McCain is doing is different. - ErickStevenson, on 09/13/2008, -0/+6Integrity and Republicans is like Oil and Water... so I don't expect this ad or anything to sway the Republican believers from voting outside party line. If they do vote other than McCain then I guess they are learning... but I wouldn't hold my breathe.
- inactive, on 09/13/2008, -1/+6Even Ron Paul is human. (which actually put him ahead of most politicians when you consider the context).
- ErickStevenson, on 09/13/2008, -4/+9Honorable american? McCain? LOL
- founderofpork, on 09/13/2008, -0/+5Forbush: You do realize that Republicans are never going to outlaw abortion? If they did, they wouldn't be able to get suckers like you to rally at the voting booth every single election, year after year after year. Just cry abortion and you come crawling out of the floorboards to vote for the GOP like a good little soldier.
Have some independent thought--it's what America was founded upon. - pinchduck, on 09/13/2008, -2/+7A politician whoring themselves for a vote? No way! Now how many people here think that Obama wouldn't or hasn't done that?
- inactive, on 09/13/2008, -0/+5"there is a joke in here somewhere..."
That's politics. Sometimes it's too sad to laugh, but it's important to learn.
... but does Palin have enough foreign policy experience" (looks at current foreign policy run by 'experienced' people)
I'm for change. Here's my running mate Joe Bidden.
John McCain who should know better than any other human being the cost of war and he's doing what???? - BeDee, on 09/13/2008, -0/+4I have been voting Republician for almost 50 years. A couple of years ago I thought John McCain was a man of honor. He may lose an election to win a war, but it looks like he will lose his honor to win an election. All my grandchildren are for Obama...it is their future, so as hard as it may be, I'm going to vote Democratic.
- thaddeusphoenix, on 09/13/2008, -0/+4The VP Pick was the first 'real' presidential decision made by either candidate. The truth is, Obama proved he would make decisions for the good of the country.
Both candidates have a high risk of death in the first 4 years of their presidency. McCain is old, and could die... no shocker there. But Obama is also going to have several attempts on his life as president. This is the elephant in the room. He will be a magnet for crazy religious people (who think he's a Muslim mole), crazy racist, and crazy anti-gov types that think he's a raging socialist/new world order shill. (And of course there are just the plain crazy people.)
So what we are really looking at are two candidates that have a significant chance of dying during their presidency.
Obama chose someone for VP that will help him govern as well as be a decent leader if he is killed. McCain chose someone who will help him win the election but who will be a piss-poor leader if he dies in office.
In short...
-- Palin is proof that McCain would rather win an election than do what's right for America.
-- Biden is proof that Obama is taking on the responsibilities of the presidency, even at the risk of losing the election. - batmanz, on 09/13/2008, -5/+9...Um yeah, welcome to politics.
- Metasquares, on 09/13/2008, -4/+8Pot calling the kettle black. Remember FISA?
- kesam, on 09/13/2008, -0/+4Like: McCain has integrity!? This IS news.
- bradhart2, on 09/13/2008, -1/+5buried for being worthless ***** for a ***** moron
- MisteryMeat, on 09/13/2008, -0/+4Everyone respects McCain's service. That does not qualify him for president. Lately he has been a complete sell out.
- objective79, on 09/13/2008, -3/+7If we are to apply McCain's logic (of being untouchable because he was a POW) then a Vietnam War veteran who molests little children has eternal honor.
Utter nonsense. Let's call McCain out for being dishonest and for prevaricating on 2 consecutive occassions (The Service Forum and The View) where he was given the opportunity to clear the air and live up to the legendary Straight Talk Express reputation but he declined and took the low road.
Obama now has the moral ground to tear him apart for being a poor excuse for a leader. Shame on McCain - Bloodboiler, on 09/13/2008, -2/+6Poor guy. He has already lost his mind, memory and dignity. No man should have to experience loosing so many things he never had to begin with. I hope he doesn't have to give up his unicorn ranch and fleet of flying pigs.
- novenator, on 09/13/2008, -5/+9I think you're confusing the Huffington Post with Fox News
- sathias, on 09/13/2008, -0/+4Before this election campaign I considered John McCain to have quite a bit of honour. When all the torture debate was going on, McCain was standing up to the Republican party because he knew it wasn't right. Now it's just more of the same.
- mnpilot, on 09/13/2008, -0/+4Don't feed the racist troll please...
- cherwilco, on 09/13/2008, -6/+10he had integrity?
- inactive, on 09/13/2008, -3/+6The gambit is this:
Even if they are lies and tick off some people, they will energize his base and get them out to the polls. Likewise, it will keep people from asking the question "what are you and SP going to do about _____?" You could fill in education, international relations, economy, taxes on wealthiest Americans, etc.
Does anyone honestly believe that the hard-core McCain supporters would be put off by something as trivial as the truth? I will grant that there are some in the Obama camp that would fall into the same category -- blind followers -- but the size of the McCain base that is not interested in hearing anything other than what they are told by the conservatives, even if it is true, is frightening. - Ajajadude, on 09/13/2008, -0/+3***** the third party. The third party doesn't do ***** except give us a second term of Bush. Until the third party becomes viable in the presidential race, other than to take away votes, then screw them. I know I'm going to get dugg down for all of this, but, I like my candidate. Telling everyone to vote third party when they're perfectly happy with the candidate they've chosen is stupid. Newsflash: some people are actually happy voting for a liberal Democrat or a Conservative Republican and couldn't give a ***** about someone like Ron Paul.
- bradhart2, on 09/13/2008, -0/+3the only benefit I can see to McCain winning that the disaster that the bush administration has created will be fully realized during a republican controlled presidency. It would completely discredit them for a good 2 decades with most people.
- richirwin, on 09/13/2008, -6/+9John McCain is a ***** liar.
John McCain - A hero without honor. - inactive, on 09/13/2008, -2/+5Oh no, not an exagerattion in the slightest.
Quite frankly, I don't care what McCain or Palin say or do. They should lead because that is what is right for america. I'm pretty sure they are the oposite of anti-war, whatever that might be, and that's enough for me.
/srczm - iBleeedOrange, on 09/13/2008, -4/+7He already lost his integrity
- DirtySanch, on 09/13/2008, -4/+7What? Why is you going 2 be so unrealistic in thinking that shooting moose will saving our country from Al Queda?
- 16x9, on 09/14/2008, -0/+3When you were reading over what you'd written just prior to pressing the "Save Reply" button, did it feel like you were writing for the ages? Putting words to page (as it were) that were so clear, so well thought out, that they would end discussion on this matter for all time?
I ask because your rant seems disjointed, bigoted and base. I mean "Banana?" Really?
On the upside, individuals like you serve to scare the ***** out of people who are decent, normal folks who for whatever reason simply haven't yet decided for whom they will vote. I mean, I'd have to imagine they'd read what you wrote and the very first sentence they would think, "Geez, I don't want to be like that bigoted *****." - ErickStevenson, on 09/13/2008, -2/+5LOL they use whatever is convenient... before he was an elitist, now his one of the ghetto boys....
- thrillki1l, on 09/13/2008, -1/+4I agree that if we want real change she should vote third party but seriously when was the last time a third party candidate won the presidency? I want even more change than obama is talking about but I personally feel like if I vote for a third party I am wasting my vote. For example in Florida the difference between gore and bush was 500 votes, 600 people in Florida voted for the American socialist party candidate and if they had made a compromised and voted for Kerry we wouldn't have had bush elected. So we should choose between the lesser of 2 evils for a candidate that has a real possibility of winning.
- justbloggin, on 09/13/2008, -0/+3You've nailed it, the past 2 elections prove it.
- Diggnabbit, on 09/13/2008, -1/+4"As American?" I'm pretty sure they are each exactly as American as the other.
And, "anti-war" is an insult? -
