Washington Post: GOP Candidate Must Request Such Protection And Has Not Done So
-Most killed (assasinated) presidents, candidates, were democrats, not republicans. The killars belonging to right wing trends or fools... all McCain''s background! - Reply to this comment
- Hey gwagener Whats a militay??? frrom??? thru????
It is flatly illegal for the militay to provide security in US territory, except on US militay bases, so it is not true. He does get protection frrom the military while in Iraq, but that is true of any high Government official.
He has to pay for security thru donations or his wife can pay for it. Posted by gwagener
While you are correcting others, how about getting your own act together first!!! - Reply to this comment
- zolefart: Nobody is going to try to kill Bush, regardless of his stunning incompetence, because that would make Cheney president. In 2004, there was a lot of talk about Bush picking a different running mate, but Bush realized that Cheney afforded him much better protection than the secret service could. That''s about the only thing Bush has gotten right.

- If you dump your first wife and marry and heiress to the Anheuser Busch fortune, you can afford your own rent-a-cops!

Your facts are wrong, Her family owns a large beer distributorship and they distribute all brands of beer including Budweiser brands. As far as I know, she, nor her family, are related to Anheuser.
Just hard working Americans that made a fortune in the beer business. You sound enviously jealous!
Reminds me of John Kerry married to money bags Heinz. She tried to buy the presidency for him, didn''t work. - Reply to this comment

Clinton, McCain, and Obama will all be back in the Senate in Nov. The winner does not take office until 20 January.
The word "your" is the possesive form of "you." The word "you''re" is a contraction for "you are." - Reply to this comment

- I don''t blame McCain, he hired his own body guards because he, like I, know the secret service are a bunch of dimwit drunks.
John Kennedy lost his life proving that. - Reply to this comment
- McCain is the MIC''s best friend, he now has a global network of support including EADS. Just check out the governments own elections website. If you think that $25B/month is a lot of money for an oil war, wait for McCain to start spending.

- So? The man''''s a jihadis nightmare. He ain''''t afraid to die either.
Besides, he doesn''''t need FBI protection. I''''m sure he has his own.

Muddy - it is in the Secret Service job description not the FBI.
If he can''t protect himself - how is he going to protect the US... - Reply to this comment
- REV WRIGHT STORY - In 1961, a young African-American man, after hearing President John F. Kennedy''s challenge to, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country," gave up his student deferment, left college in Virginia and voluntarily joined the Marines. In 1963, this man, having completed his two years of service in the Marines, volunteered again to become a Navy corpsman. The man did so well in corpsman school that he was the valedictorian and became a cardiopulmonary technician. Not surprisingly, he was assigned to the Navy''s premier medical facility, Bethesda Naval Hospital, as a member of the commander in chief''s medical team, and helped care for President Lyndon B. Johnson after his 1966 surgery. For his service on the team, which he left in 1967, the White House awarded him three letters of commendation. What is even more remarkable is that this man entered the Marines and Navy not many years after the two branches began to become integrated. While this young man was serving six years on active duty, Vice President *** Cheney, who was born the same year as the Marine/sailor, received five deferments, four for being an undergraduate and graduate student and one for being a prospective father. Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, both five years younger than the African-American youth, used their student deferments to stay in college until 1968. Both then avoided going on active duty through family connections. Who is the real patriot?

- Right! Don''t you believe he has no security. There are probably supporters dumb enough to think that he had no security in Iraq as well. He has gone a long way on his John Wayne image, but we don''t need Rambo,a Riefenstahl classic or Reagan Jr. we need an intelligent leadership for a change. Eight years of "What-me-worry",the boneheaded American oil Sheik, is much too much.

- No one is going to try to take out McCain. I mean why bother? He''''s on his last leg anyway and doesn''''t stand a snowballs chance in hell of winning in November. The one who needs the protection the most is Obama because there is no doubt that the neocons are going to try to hit him.

- Nah, I''m not worried about someone literally taking McCain out, but McCain Feingold is gonna come back to haunt him.
George Soros, the Devil''s Advocate, is gonna assault McCain with $350 million dollars of compaign advertising just before the election so he can get his Schwarze Kennedy into office. Leave it to this miserable, despicable Hungarian to find a loophole in the Act. Lay down with dogs R. Hussein Obama, you''re gonna wake up with fleas. - Reply to this comment
- McCain (like all Republicans) are perfectly happy spending your tax dollars on themselves. It''''s what they do.

What a crock. I wouldn''t even mind if it was intelligent, but, alas, anything coming from the left never is. - Reply to this comment
- Why does he need protection? No one has tried to kill the worst president in our history. This nut is trying to take his place. He should be quite safe.

Yeah, oh right. He had no problem with the government paying off Lincoln Savings and Loan. Or Bear Stearns. Or tax cuts for the rich or tax increases for the poor. Or corporate welfare or a million other things Republicans routinely soak the government for and then mew about OTHER people''s snout in the trough.
